I am looking for Jazz Strumming patterns like the one in "Jazz ala Joe Pass Step 2" lesson or at "http://www.freeguitarvideos.com/LJ3/14a.html" that I could play on Jazz chords progression.
I can read rhythms and play them if I see them written but still have difficulty in using mu ear. (It is a pitty that this site almost never provide the rhythm)
I have been looking on google for such patterns without success so far...

Thanks in Advance.

Gilles

You may already know all of these songs , but if you review them, you'll find that they contain some of the basic jazz strumming patterns that you can apply in improvisations and jams. I don't know where there is a resource that sets out strumming patterns for you on the web, but I know there are plenty of good books that do it, if you head down to the music store.
By the way, it's nice to see another jazz player on GT. :)

If at first you don't succeed, you are obviously not Chuck Norris.

Thanks for all your answers but I don't see any WRITTEN jazz rhytm patterns in these links or lessons. I can hear them but not reproduce them from ear. This is so frustrating for a beginner....

Are you referring to chord charts?

ie,

http://www.petethomas.co.uk/jazz-chord-progressions.html
http://www.realbook.us/

... or actual music notation?

Didn't you already ask this question in another thread?
Like I said, what do you mean by written? Do you mean chord charts or music notation? Did you check the links I gave you?
Have you tried using Google and searching the web?
