Use the two lowest strings on the guitar to create your bass lines (in general this is the best bass sound... but you can also sneak in a little bit of the 4th, and even sometimes the 3rd string if you don't over-use them). It's critical to learn your arpeggios on your lower strings and be able...

Not only must you master your scales, arpeggios, walking bass lines, rhythmic complexities, daring improvisational skills, and all the other aspects that go into jazz guitar playing, but then you must do it all with no one backing you up! This is a tall order indeed! One of the things that I recommend as a precurser to solo jazz guitar is playing duets with vocalists/other guitarists/sax/flute/etc/. In a dou setting, you are...

A great way to begin doing this is to simply play the appropriate scale up and down the neck on the two high strings and then add the chords for each note. If you are starting with a Bb7 chord, use the Bb mixolydian scale. Then use the Eb mixolydian scale for the Eb7th chord and continue on in this fashion through...

I move from simple blues phrases to more complex rhythmic ideas and then finally compound double-time ideas before returning to the head. There is a strong sense of forward motion and energy yet the tune doesn't rush or push at all. Many students ask me about playing double-time phrases and keeping track of the original time. The original time is always there! Use a metronome in your practicing and this will...

This is also a mistake. If you listen to my solo here you'll see that I start very simply and leave tons of room. This accomplishes two things: First it gives the listener a chance to relax into the groove without a lot of complicated ideas happening. Second, it lays a foundation for the more complex lines to follow. This results in a successful story being told....
