In this 6-week course, you'll learn the essential chord forms that jazz guitarists rely on, including "shell chord" shapes, Drop 2, and Drop 3. (If these terms are new to you, don't worry! All will be explained.) Each week's lesson will include hands-on exercises and a framework for how to practice on your own. We'll also be applying the chord forms to well-known jazz tunes so you can understand their utility.

In this final class, I'll show you how to mix-and-match the forms we've learned in the prior sessions. Because that's how the pro players use this sort of material — not by staying in one voicing type all the time, but playing musical phrases that may include chord forms.
