Discovering Jazz Guitar
A practical introduction to jazz guitar — without getting lost in theory (or in your own fingers).
Understand jazz chords and progressions with step-by-step lessons inspired by jazz standards, from Classic Jazz to Brazilian and Gypsy Jazz.
This course is designed for beginners in jazz: you’ll learn real concepts and how to use them.
It’s not a “first guitar” course though — you should already be comfortable with basic chords and basic rhythm (changing chords in time).
What’s inside:
8 lessons with a gradual increase in difficulty.
For each lesson: theory, tips, tabs, and video.
Learn chord embellishments, diatonic substitution, and tritone substitution.
