The Ideal "Let's Perk Up My Jazz Phrasing!" Tutorial

Improv (a.k.a as soloing), in a jazz context, is the fine art of creating melodic lines that accurately reflect the chords in the song. It not only requires the jazz improviser to create lines in the spur of the moment that draw the ear from one chord to the next; like a patient photographer or a master comedian, the improviser must choose exactly the right moment to deliver their phrase for devastating effect. Good improvisations (and great improvisers) constitute the backbone of this century-long tradition. In brief, if you want to be a good jazz musician, you must become a confident improviser! :-)

The balanced approach in this guitar tutorial ensures that you learn some concepts as well as some practical soloing ideas. Drawing directly from the 2nd Pillar approach in Improv 102, this course teaches you how to begin mastering jazz phrasing.
