In this lesson I describe how the jazz blues differs from traditional blues and show you the methods used to create the ii-V's that give jazz blues it's definitive sound. This is designed as a beginner lesson but even intermediate to advanced guitarists will find something useful in it. This is a good one, don't miss it! As always, the PDF contains fantastic comping and linear examples. Enjoy the preview and thanks for watching!
