Hey Jazz Guy - Groupings and Displacement.m4v video free download

Thanks for this lesson man! I'm struggling with some mild tendonitis in my fretting hand at the moment. While I convalesce I've been working on my rhythm through various right hand exercises. I'm trying to develop a fast, accurate, and dynamically expressive fingerstyle technique. These displacement exercises allow me to practice different note groupings with different fingers or sets of fingers. But I think the real reward is learning to feel the two rhythms together. Thanks again for sharing!

Thanks! If you simply remove the 5th (like from a MAJ chord) it will not change the QUALITY of the chord, so the symbol could just read CMaj(no. 5). However when you swap it for the 13th, 6th, b5th ect, the symbol should reflect that such as C Majb5 or CMaj6. Does that make sense? - jazz hard!

another piece of information you might be looking for is that if you're playing a chord that includes the 4, you can swap the 5 for the b5, this would often be represented as b5add11 or 11b5. Also if you're playing a chord that includes the 6, you can swap the 5 for a #5 and this would usually be represented as #5add13 or 13#5. Anybody please correct me if I'm wrong. Anyway including semitone intervals in chords is always interesting and gives a nice jazzy sound.

it depends what note you swap it for, if you swap it for a 6th it's a sus6, if you swap it for a 4 it's called a sus4, that's if you're talking about swapping the fifth in a triad, if it's a a 7th or extended chord (more notes than a triad) then what you call the swapping of the fifth depends on the other notes. It's also worth remembering that the 5th is one of the least essential notes in a chord and a lot of the time you can get away with not playing it at all.
