Introduction
The Berklee Jazz Guitar Chord Dictionary is a resource for 7th-chord
voicings and other frequently encountered jazz chord shapes on the
fretboard.
The following diagrams indicate what notes you should use for each
chord voicing. These chord blocks will show you the right shapes, but
as a musician, you owe it to your audience and yourself to hear the
music before you play it. This material will help you to map out the
sounds on your fretboard. With time, you will hear the chords before
you play them.
Strive to play these chords with a solid time feel, a full tone, and attacks
with your "picking hand" that match the level of intensity of the music
you're attempting to play.
Some tips for getting a good chord sound:
• Take special care to play the notes requested-and to leave out,
or mute the strings with the x symbol above them. Keep the
extra strings out of the sound.
• Use the edges of your fmgers of your fretting hand to mute
unwanted strings. Focus your strumming (or fmger-picking
attacks) on the indicated strings. Avoid sounding the others.
• When strumming across the strings, make the speed of your
stroke fast enough to give the illusion of one simultaneous
sound made up of all the chord voices.
l
• When you're using yom fmgers to pluck chords, take care to
balance the level of each chord tone. A common tendency is to
hit the outermost notes with the most force, resulting in a
thinner textme. You're working to put those notes on the frets;
make sme that the listener can hear them!
• While forming the chords, make sme that yom fingers are as
close to the intended frets as possible.
• When changing chords, mute the strings by lifting your fmgers
from the strings, but still touching them, to hold them still as
you slide to the next chord.
• Make sme all notes ring. If you're not hearing all the notes
clearly, keep working to cmve yom fingers and adjust yom
hand position on the intended frets to make the sound shine
through yom instrument.
Playing chords effectively takes time, and the learning process requires
practice. There are three common stages of development.
• Physical Stamina: Building yom hand muscles
• Muscle Memory: Memorizing the proper chord-voicing shapes
• Informed Musical Instincts: Using these chords to make
music
v
vi
Here are some other things to keep in mind:
• While practicing, stay vigilant, playing in time and using a
metronome or drum machine. Stay with a musical task tmtil you
can make it groove with a strong time feel.
• Play with other musicians whenever possible, as often as you
can. Practicing by yourself is only part of the overall plan.
• Make sure that the chords that you play fit well into your
playing situation. Should your voicings contain a lot of notes
or a few? Listen to the overall texture, and make a musical
decision.
• Listen to the originators of the styles that you love. It's one of
the best ways to keep yourself inspired-and to help you to
keep the highest musical values in mind.
• Listen to great guitarists, but don't stop there. Focus on
performers of other instruments as well. Bring it all together
to help you to develop your own unique voice.
Keep working, and be patient with yourself. Having the physical
strength and the knowledge of the shapes provide means to musical
ends. With time, you'll be able to choose from a variety of options.
If you keep at it, you'll definitely get there!
