Hi Alex
Recently I've started to listen to a lot of jazz and I just fell in love with it, so I want to play jazz myself. My goals are to learn jazz theory, freely improvise using modes, arpeggios, intervals and so on and to compose my own music Well, in my opinion my playing is good enough, but theory still needs some work. Not to say I'm bad at theory, but I'm not satisfied with my improvisation, as I can't use theory freely. Regarding the strongest point, it is easy for me to come up with a melody At the moment my favorites are: George Benson, John Scofield, Guthrie Govan and Carlos Santana.

Great! I like the same players as you are!!!
Nice tasty guitarists! Playing jazz is not as complicated as it might seem! If you will simplify it you will end up with II-V-I chord progressions! So as they say: "If you want to learn jazz, learn to play over II-V-I" That's what we will be working on! I have a cool chord progression for you It's Emi7 - A7 -Dmaj7 Here it is! http://soundcloud.com/alex-feather-akimov/ii-v-i-jam In order to play over chord changes you need to learn how to play chord tones! Chord tones: If you will analyze a chord you will have notes that this chord is made of those are the chord tones! I will give you an example: E minor 7 E - G -B - D The most important chord tones are III and VII because that's how you can tell the difference between major and minor chord and also know what kind of VII is there! In our case it's G and D So what I want you to do is first to analyze each chord and find III and VII for each of them! Please post it here and I will show an exercise that you can do to practice your chord tones! -------------------- |

Hi Alex! I'm really really sorry for such a huge delay, I've had busy weeks, but know I have more free time. Here is my video:
It is not at 100 bpm, as 100 bpm is too fast for me at the moment. -------------------- Guitar Altamira M01D, Samick Royale 3, Musima Lead Star 1 Effects Boss ME-25 Amp Stagg 40 GA DSP DAW SONAR LE YouTube | Facebook | Last.fm “One day you pick up the guitar and you feel like a great master, and the next day you feel like a fool.
