Jazz Guitar Chords
Along with Scales, Triads and Arpeggios, Chords are one of the fundamental items we as guitarists need to have under our fingers at all times. No matter what genre you play, rock, folk, jazz, country or whatever, you’ll need to know chords in order to play your favorite songs and get out on stage and jam. The following jazz guitar chord voicings range from beginner to advanced, and stretch from the Open Position to more complex jazz chords. Take your time learning these voicings, start with a few, apply them to songs that you’re working on, and then use this page as a reference when you need to learn a new chord or shape.

matt just going over some of your material and i was wondering what you thought about ther caged chord system as a learning tool. i think your approach is much easier to understand.
Hey Richard,
I think CAGED is good for some people, but I just never got into it. So, that’s why I like to encourage people to explore at least a couple of approaches for scales and chords to see what fits best for them.
matt thanks for your thoughts. i have tried to get into it but just don,t like the approach. wanted to make sure i wasn,t missing out on something really important. i,ll stick with what i know thanks
For sure, there’s no right or wrong answer so if you’re happy with your system then stick with it for now.
