Jazz Chord Voicings - The 9 Different types you should know |
![]() |
Once you start having a vocabulary of Jazz Chords it becomes clear that there are many different ways to play any jazz chord on the guitar. For that reason it can be very useful to star working with different categories of chord voicings. If you have categories you have an idea of voicings that may work well together and you have an overview of the chords you know where you can also fill any gaps or chords you don't already know.
In this video I will go over 9 very common types of chord voicings that I use a lot when comping and playing chord melody.
