The Improvisation Booster for Jazz Guitarists
Whether you're gigging or jamming, it's "essential” that jazz guitarists feel comfortable improvising over the most commonly encountered jazz feels and progressions. Mimi Fox's Jazz Improv edition of Essentials will put you squarely in that comfort zone without dragging you through tedious theory lessons or making you work on boring exercises - you will play your way through the entire course!
”We're going to dig right in and improvise solos, over 10 jam tracks covering the most commonly encountered jazz feels, tempos and keys.
We'll start with swing, funk, samba and a couple of blues feels. Then a minor groove, a 2-5-1 major, and a 2-5-1 minor. We'll wrap up with "Rhythm Changes” and the changes to "Stella by Starlight”. I'll solo over each track, break it down for you, and pass on some of my own approaches.
I promise you - the more you practice soloing with these tracks, the more confident you'll feel on the stage.”
You'll have all of TrueFire's advanced learning tools at your finger tips 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 tab and notation is synced to the videos for the optimal learning experience. You'll also get tab and standard notation files to print out, Guitar Pro files, and all of the backing tracks to practice with.
Grab your guitar, and let's dig in with Mimi Fox!

In this Modes & Arpeggios edition of Practice Sessions, Mimi Fox will expand your creative and melodic sensibilities across eight powerful interactive practice sessions, each of which focuses on a different scale, mode or arpeggio along with a creative application for developing an improvisation.
”Scales, modes and arpeggios are certainly important tools that jazz guitarists need command of but they’re really just the framework that players use to map their improvisations, over the prevailing chord changes. Learning how to apply creative ideas, melodic devices, and phrasing, over that framework, is the key to crafting fluid, engaging jazz solos and improvisations.”
