Welcome Simon
Yeah, TAB is useful up to a point, but it's only useful if you know the song or piece in question, wheras with notation you get the whole lot. |

Hi friend! Welcome to the site! Here you will find a lot of lessons and useful information to add more fusion and jazz to your playing. Don't miss Alex Feather's Vchat sessions! He has been covering Greg Howe style yesterday and the lesson has been very good!

Hey Simon and welcome!! I'm a guitarist from Portland Oregon with fairly similar interests, although I personally don't "hate" metal.... I just lean heavily towards playing jazz, funk and other styles and listen mainly to jazz.
That said, have you ever checked out Soulive (guitarist Eric Krasno), The Greyboy Allstars, Grant Green or Melvin Sparks? I headed into jazz through the "funk" door, which allowed me to use plenty of the pentatonic/rock/blues knowledge I already had. Of course, I ultimately would love to see the whole fretboard as intervals and really lock into a pure technical understanding, mixed with a fat bag of jazz tricks/riffs/arpeggios.... but it's always nice to mix the learning, with direct application as well. There are some great jazz lesson vids here at GMC. I'd encourage you to check out some of Stephane's lessons, including a recent "John Scofield Lesson" which is really awesome. -Gabe Rodriguez -------------------- Check out my awesome Nintendo Cover-band, EMULATOR!! http://www.reverbnation.com/emulator Now.....go practice!! |

Hey Simon, welcome to the site! Check out some of Stephane's lessons, he has some nice smooth chops in your style. You can also find notation & tabs along with the lessons. I think it's great that you can read notes.
