A Year of Online Lessons

Here are some free online lessons that can perhaps keep me busy for 2016.

I hope to go through these as well as some of my own studies because various approaches will keep me fresh.

The Bad News

You, as a jazz guitarist, must know A LOT of jazz standards. Jazz, to me, is about playing tunes. It is nice to have a bunch of licks, arpeggios, chords and lines under your belt but it all comes together on a jazz standard. You need to know LOTS of tunes.

The Good News

A lot of jazz standards have similar chord progressions. Know your way around a few chord progressions, and you will set yourself up well for learning hundreds of tunes.
