Summary of This Method
Hip Licks for Guitar (Book and Four CD Play-along Set) was designed to help guitarists gain fluency in jazz language through a "mainstream" vocabulary that sounds right over the changes and fits naturally into phrasing. The approach is deliberately practical: you can open the book to any page and start playing immediately, like a reference book. The 168 licks cover essential harmonic colors (Maj7, dominant, dominant 7b9, minor, m7b5, diminished, augmented) and target the most used progressions, notably major and minor II-V-I in two- and four-bar formulas, as well as parallel major-to-minor movements and variants with moving guide tones.
The CDs enhance the study's effectiveness: each lick is played twice in a row in a "call and response" format, ideal for ear training, memory, and vocabulary assimilation. The tracks take you through all 12 keys, with slow and then fast tempo versions, to gradually move from understanding to fluent execution. Finally, "rhythm section only" tracks give you space to create your own variations, develop your ideas, and work on improvisation over varied harmonic contexts, while reinforcing your scales, arpeggios, and chords on jazz guitar.
