- Need help with moving from scales to soloing through chord changes on jazz guitar? This could be a pivotal lesson for you! In this video, I reveal and simplify the foundational skills you need to transition from improvising with scales to ultimately mastering chord changes in your solos. Perfect for beginners, or if like many others, you’re finding it hard to make this crucial leap, this tutorial guides you step-by-step through some very playable and practical exercises designed to build exactly the skills you need. Follow the steps, practice the skills, and you’ll probably make the breakthrough you’re looking for.
As with all my videos, if you’re a jazz teacher - of any instrument - this lesson demonstrates a powerfully effective but accessible educational technique AND models how you might teach it. Thanks for looking.
What you'll learn:
• Understanding Guide Tones: Begin to discover the role of thirds and sevenths in jazz chords.
• Exercise Overview: I'll walk you through my "Guide Tone Madness" exercise, which builds directly on the iconic riff from Sonny Rollins' "Tenor Madness."
• Practical Play-Along: Practice the skills interactively as you play through exercises that help you internalize and practice these concepts in a musical context.
• Incremental Skill Building: Develop your skills progressively, starting from simple guide tone identification to incorporating these into full-blown solos. Every step is practical.

Wow, I am very impressed, you are by far the best jazz teacher I found, thank you so much for making possible to improve our skills, you are really incredible! I am very happy for all you share here in thi8s awesome channel, congrats! Your pupils must be so happy with you ;-)
@rafa_guitar 🙏. No other words - just thank you!
Damn! This ties in with the first book for rock and blues that I bought - back in 1978 - just after I bought my first strat, at uni! It was boring as hell because it had bloody execises - without any damned explanations - which should be a criminal offence! I'm going to have to watch this several times because it'll also help me with my digital sax!
What is a digital sax? I’ve never heard of that.
Saw you at a gig in Glebe a year or so ago. Great playing then and awesome content now. A new subscriber!
Fantastic and thanks. Welcome aboard, great to have you here.
Check out Tory Slusher, the best guitarist in the world.
I will!
🥖!
Honestly, this one is a honest ! I think all of us fed up with snobby youtubers who teaches jazz on youtube with their fancy jargon and fancier haircut and most fancy guitars and equipments and in addition to that their demands on being paid to patreon vs. for tiny pdf. Sir, lease keep it up. Very good approaching to play jazz.
Sorry, Monty Python already did that sketch.
Thankful for the good lesson but I wish you would have spent more time on the actual chord changes
Glad you liked the lesson. What aspect of chord changes would you like to hear more about? There wil be more videos.
