About This Course

Who this course is for:

  • Guitar players who want to start playing jazz music, or any other advanced genre.

What you’ll learn: 

  • Foundations of Jazz Guitar.
  • Chords, Scales and Arpeggios.
  • Harmony and theory to jazz music.
  • How to improvise solos.
  • Licks and Phrases.
  • Walking bass technique.

Requirements: 

  • This course is for all guitarists that want to learn or improve Jazz. It’s not necessary to be able to read music or understand music theory. If you are a beginner on guitar, I think it’s better if you take a beginner’s course first.

Hello, my name is Gabriel Felix (California College of Music), and today I want to talk about my new Jazz Course.

You will find lessons about:
1. Harmony and Theory for jazz.
2. 11 Guitar Practice Tips for Speedy Improvement.
3. Chords, scales, and arpeggios.
4. How to improvise in diatonic and modal chord progressions.
5. Real book with more than 400 songs.
6. Improve Your Sense of Rhythm Cheat- Sheet.
7. Walking bass technique.
8. How to turn an easy pop chord progression in jazz.

You will never again find yourself looking at a professional player playing a fancy, beautiful-sounding chord, and not having a clue what kind of chord it is and how to play it yourself.

You can take your favorite rock and pop songs, that are originally only
played with simple chords, and started mixing fresh, fancy-sounding chords into them (9 chords, 13 chords, 6/9, and plenty more), to create GORGEOUS new cover versions out of them. Versions that no one has heard before – and you made up on the spot.

If you are writing songs, you now have an insanely colorful “palette” to
write your own songs with – using these gorgeous chords.

You finally UNDERSTAND advanced chords theory, and you will never need to shy out again out of conversations/lessons on advanced materials from fear that you cannot “keep up”.

Very Important Note: Jazz is not an easy style. It is necessary to learn harmony, theory, and all the basic jazz chords before beginning to play Jazz! I know you just want to play jazz on the guitar, but be patient and follow all the steps. It ́s much better to spend full days learning about harmony than to give up after 1 week just because you don’t know how to play a Cmaj7(9) chord.

Our Promise to You
By the end of this course, you will have learned chords, how to improvise, harmony, theory, walking bass, common chords progression, rhythm, and more.
