One of the best ways to find out the genre that appeals to you is by listening to a few styles (i.e. jazz, blues, rock, folk, country, pop, etc.). The ones that stick in your mind are the ones to start off with. Like with anything you learn, learning becomes easier when you’re interested in it.

For that reason, if you learn to improvise in the blues genre, it will ultimately end up helping you improvise acr... (read more) Author: Logan Young

Many people already know this, and the first place they head to is to a fakebook. They’ll try to learn some tunes that way and wonder why their playing ends up being rigid. We don’t want to say that a fakebook isn’t a great tool, but there are other ways to learn that we would like you, as the jazz guitar player, to open yourself to. For example, you can always learn some of your favorite tunes by listening to them over and over and then learning to play them during your jazz guitar ... (read more) Author: Logan Young

6. All about Learning to Play Jazz Guitar December 12, 2007 Let’s get rid of one myth right here! One common myth floating around is that jazz music is complicated. Some people have the idea that it can only be learned by unraveling the deep mysteries of the inner being – like it’s some sort of mystical experience that requires years of learning theories, scales and chords. That thought alone is overwhelming and as a result, we need to refocus our attention to one thing – keeping it simple. If you seriously want to become a better jazz guitar player, then keeping it simple is all you need to get where you want to go. Start with the basics. Yo... (read more) Author: Logan Young

7. Making the Most of Your Jazz Guitar Lessons December 12, 2007 Many of us had this dream when we started learning to play jazz guitar. We saw ourselves on stage under bright lights whipping out this great improvised solo. Maybe our dreams went into even more details. We saw the other band members, the equipment (like jazz guitar amps) and the people who would listen to our music. So like any newbie, we decided to trot off and do what it took to learn how to play. We enrolled in lessons and things started off with a bang, but as the weeks went on, our excitement started to subside. In fact the excitement that we initially had was vaguely rememb...
