Summary of This Method
This method is designed to help you understand the essential principles of jazz guitar, regardless of your sight-reading level or your ease with harmony. The goal is twofold: to play with good guitar reflexes (positions, transitions, groove) while understanding what you are doing (function of chords, extensions, colors, and tensions).
The presentation of musical elements in standard notation, tablature, and diagrams allows for effective practice, whether you come from a "visual" guitar background or a more academic approach. This way, you progress with clear landmarks on the fretboard while strengthening your ear and your understanding of the jazz language.
The content covers a true "toolbox": basic chords, techniques to enrich them, typical chord progressions, and practical applications in related styles (from blues to rock) to better anchor the reflexes. Rhythms are approached broadly, from "la pompe" to accompaniments incorporating a bass line, to gain autonomy for playing both in groups and solo.
Special attention is given to rhythmic placement, swing, and jazz phrasing: how to make a phrase breathe, how to make a rhythm "sound," and how to articulate a credible musical discourse. You will also find the scales used in jazz as well as chord/mode relationships, linking theory and practice in concrete musical situations.
Finally, the audio is a real asset: about fifty exercises are recorded on CD, along with several application playbacks. All examples can be listened to with or without guitar, ideal for training the ear, timing, and memorization, then immediately playing back with the right musical intention.
