hiya.
Im getting bored of just learning classcial songs then being able to play them and so i started listening to jamie cullum, and now im into jazz.

So want i want to be able to do is just play jazzy chords which fit together so u can add ur own melodies and that ontop.
Any website recommendations or anything else?

Can't stand Jamie Cullum, had little enough respect for him as it was, and then he started stamping on the Steinway!

Even though u dont like him, do u know any good jazz websites? or even jazz chords which can be used in most popular jazz songs?

Have a look at the abrsm jazz syllabus and books. They do a big book Jazz piano from scratch, which coupled with the scale books are really useful.

.... and although I don't teach it for exams, because I don't know enough about it, the Jazz exam books are fun as you have to do an improvised section in the middle.

Musicroom.com have a whole section on them.

Enjoy smile.gif

probly the best way or borrow some arrangements from the library and see how they work. good if they give the chord names with guitar frames. u realy need to learn sequences of chords and u can do this in separate keys or using the system classical people do with roman numbers.
good luck
