Greg Howe warming up on Giant Steps. Lots of nice guide tone lines to steal and a good solo for learning to navigate these changes More…
Some of my favourite players together on one song. I had to transcribe it More…
Some great licks to steal for a rhythm changes More…
Stealing some licks from Justin Derrico's bathroom jams More…
I could listen to Greg Howe jam over backing tracks all day. There's lots of nice things to steal in this one More…
Such an under rated and great guitarist. Check out his course Blues With Brains for lots of great material and lessons. This is a twist on the minor blues. Instead of going to the IV you go to a bVI7.… More…
Great take on this solo. Tricky to notate the faster passages and even harder to play with the fingerstyle technique More…
Big fan of Camilo and I loved the phrasing on this. There's lot of nice melodic minor runs and sax like phrasing. More…
Antoine Boyer showing exactly how to practice with a metronome More…
Jack has some of the best phrasing out there. Always an inspiration More…
I saw this on instagram and had to steal some of those lines. Its a blues in G with a I IV ii V turnaround. I have listed both chords. The original plus the tritone as it could be both. The ending is an… More…
Love this song and solo. Plenty to steal. This is how I'm fingering it but there's many ways More…
Here is a crazy octave displacement line played over Sandu. Great workout for the left and right hand More…
I had to transcribe this once I saw it on Tim Pierces channel. Really nice lines and motif development. I'm looking forward to his solo album release. More…
I discovered Ramon Stagnaro last night watching a Tim Pierce video. An LA legend session musician. Always so happy discovering new guys to check out More…
I saw this on Instagram and had to learn it. I've tried to approximate what he was going for in a couple of places and I wasn't sure where he was feeling the one. Any opinions on this are welcome. He's… More…
Scofield is such a badass. His time feel is incredible and makes bebop vocabulary sound modern. You can get the lines from here but I wasn't sure where to place his lines in the bar. Comments welcome More…
Frank Gambale is one player I always come back to. Not only for his incredible technique. His changes playing and groove are also second to none. The sweeps I've notated as close as i can get. I hope you… More…
Pat Martino is one of the first jazz guitarists I got into. I recommend his Linear Expressions book. This solo is full of great lines too More…
Here's a funky solo by Maceo Parker on a C7. This is how I finger this solo for guitar. Lots of nice funky rhythms and phrasing with mostly the pentatonic scale More…
Brian Sheu is another one of my favourite players. Bebop lines mixed in with more modern lines and some nice shred lines to steal More…
Great chorus on a jazz blues in F. Check out which notes Freddie Hubbard lands on each chord. You can clearly here the changes. Mostly targeting the 3rds and 7ths More…
Such a tasty solo from Tal Wilkenfeld. Lots to steal More…
Great solo on a blues. I love the way Shawn Tubbs uses the diminished scale. He always manages to use outside sounds in a very melodic way More…
