And at the conservatory I'll be heading, there's alot of jazz. So I found Robben Ford, and this guy blew me away. Just look him up, his jazz/blues phrasing is phenomenal, together with his chord knowledge. So I got his book called "The Blues and Beyond" where he explains alot of stuff. And I'd love to work trough it ( probably could but would be harder) but it's much more fun to do it with a "teacher" or just together. Since it's summer vacation, I got a heck load of time (7 weeks of nothing planned, awesome!) I thought this would be a cool idea, to work trough his book, with a more experienced player, that can give me tips and insights, and some improv practising stuff for dem jazz/blues. So, Just a little of his awesomeness. You are at GuitarMasterClass.net Don't miss today's free lick. Plus all our lessons are packed with free content!

The one thing I remember from that DVD is the cool use of triads and other chords. I have gotten it out and plan on watching it again this weekend. I will have to check out his book that you mentioned. You are at GuitarMasterClass.net Don't miss today's free lick. Plus all our lessons are packed with free content!

Also apart form his solo and Blue Line recordings check out his stuff with the Yellow Jackets. You are at GuitarMasterClass.net Don't miss today's free lick.

Though I don't know if I am a more experienced player than you... was that a must have prerequisite? I am however interested in Robben Ford's techniques and think that it would be fun to share insights gained and questiones wondered. You are at GuitarMasterClass.net Don't miss today's free lick.

Robben talks about the 3 different scales he uses over the song. You are at GuitarMasterClass.net Don't miss today's free lick. Plus all our lessons are packed with free content!
