Easy Jazz Concepts



Basic Jazz Concepts is a lesson built on the topic of triads. The idea is to think outside of scales and start thinking in terms of triads with respect to the chord changes. Since triad shapes are easy to remember there are some interesting ideas we can get from playing this way. In a nutshell, every major chord voicing can be broken up into two triads. A major triad based off the root note and another major triad built off the 5th. Similarly, we can use a minor triad over both our root and our 5th, when playing over a minor chord voicing. What gets interesting though is when we play over dominant 7th chord voicings. Now we can base a major triad over the root note and a minor triad over the 5th. Add in some leading tones and some chromatics from our blues scales and we are well on our way to playing swing. This lesson begins with a little theory as I show you how this works and how it really falls out of our scales anyways. I scratch out a lick and then we move over to the guitar. With a little adjusting to the lick we just created based off of triads, I come up with the main melody you can hear in the lesson example. It is that easy.

Ghettobilly Rocks Part 1

Here's a cool jam for my premium subscribers. The lesson is loaded with some painful double stops, twisted open string licks, and honky-tonk galore. I would consider this an intermediate to advanced lesson filled with hybrid picking chops. Lesson is an example available to premium monthly subscribers.
