In this lesson I describe my method of looking at the guitar and show you what I believe is a unique and beneficial way of developing a deep understanding of the instrument and its application to jazz. Topics include:
Creating Drop 2's
Creating Drop 3's
Understanding extensions and their application to dominant and secondary dominant chords.
The usage of chromaticism in the jazz language.
Turnarounds and their importance in standard tune repertoire.
Movable dominant forms.
Minor II-V's
A study of basic harmonic movements in all positions.
The PDF is amazing:)
