Improvisation and Soloing Concepts for Modern Jazz Guitar
When improvising in a modern jazz setting, guitarists need to call on a more sophisticated palette of improvisational concepts and creative soloing options than what is generally needed for traditional jazz performance.
Sean McGowan's Improv edition of his Modern Jazz Palettes series will majorly accelerate your leap from traditional jazz soloing to modern jazz improvisation.
Sean shares five key and powerfully effective concepts that you'll be able to apply immediately to transform what you already know into a modern jazz feel and sound.
”Fortunately, developing your modern jazz improv palette is much easier and quicker than you might imagine because all five of the key concepts that I'll show you will build upon your traditional jazz improv foundation.
Your modern jazz improv palette will consist of 9th Arpeggio Sounds, Dominant Diminished Lines, Triad Pairs, Pattern-Based Approaches, and Rhythmic Based Ideas.
I've designed this curriculum in a contextual format. I'll first demonstrate a particular concept and then we'll apply it immediately by soloing over a jam track - you'll play your way through the entire course!”
You'll have all of TrueFire's advanced learning tools at your fingertips to personalize your workspace and learn at your own pace.
You can loop, slow down, or speed up any section of a lesson. Plus, all of the tabs and notation are synced to the videos for the optimal learning experience. You'll also get tab charts, standard notation, and Guitar Pro files, plus, all of the backing tracks to practice with.
Grab your guitar, and let's dig in with Sean McGowan!
