Rhythm Changes Chords are essential to check out. If you want to explore jazz and bebob guitar then the rhythm changes progression is a must. The progression is often used and parts of it are common in countless other songs.

In this lesson I will first go over a basic set of chord voicings (with chord diagrams or chord boxes) to play the progression. I will then expand on these voicings by first turning them into rootless voicings. Then I will show you how you can start making variations of the top notes to create more interesting comping ideas like that. Finally I will go over how you can even add notes and create another set of 4-note voicings.

Seven Come Eleven

Seven Come Eleven is a rhythm changes contrafact written by early modern jazz guitarist Charlie Christian and swing era giant Benny Goodman. Their musical partnership is notable as one of the first high-profile, racially-mixed musical teams in jazz. Sadly on today’s album the song is credited solely to Goodman, perhaps because it was first recorded in 1939 by the Benny Goodman Sextet, of whom Christian was a member. I’ve 

It’s Aussie Friday, so today’s performance is from the album A to Z of Jazz, by James Morrison and the Melbourne Symphony Orchestra, and the guitar soloist is Doug de Vries. 

Doug de Vries is based in Melbourne, and was the resident guitarist in the house band on Channel Seven's Steve Vizard's Tonight Live (early 90s), and also played in Vince Jones’ band for over a decade. 

James Morrison is one of Australia’s most prominent jazz musicians and an incredible talent. While he is known mainly for trumpet, and perhaps trombone, he also plays and performs on tuba, euphonium, flugelhorn, saxophone, clarinet, double bass, guitar, and piano.

In this video I will go over 5 variations and show how you can use those to generate new ideas for your solos.
