In this second volume the following subjects are discussed: - Creating the improvised line. - Substitute chords. - Importance of the minor/major 7th sound. - The jazz (ascending melodic) minor scale and related chords. - How to apply the jazz minor scale to standards. - Repositioning altered chords to fit single-note fingering options within the jazz minor spectrum. - Vocabulary of the improvised line. - Blues phrasing to a more sophisticated bebop-type of line. - Guitaristic devices that advance the music, i.e. string-bending, octaves and fingering. - How to play/improvise on, "Autumn Leaves", as a solo guitar performance or within a small group context. - More involved chords and improvisation with John Coltrane's, "Moments's Notice". A detailed tab/music instructional booklet is included as a PDF file on the DVD. |
