shellshock191117th January 2008Yea really awesome lesson in addition with the rhythm section. I am working on incorporating my theory lately so I study other peoples works to see why they do certain things. Why do you play the F#m arpeggio as first lick over Dmaj7 in video one?
- Muris Varajic17th January 2008
I'm actually playing piece of Dmaj7 arpeggio.
Notes are D,F#,A and C#.
As you can see,sort of F# minor inside. 
krudtaa17th January 2008Nice lesson. thanks.
David Wallimann17th January 2008Excellent Muris!
This is very helpful to me as I'm starting to work more on Jazz stuff. Is that warm sound coming out of your Pandora?- Muris Varajic17th January 2008
Thanks David!!
As the matter it is,same sound I used for Country Solo.
Pandora works quite nice indeed. 
Gabriel Leopardi17th January 2008Very nice lesson Muris. The guitar sound is very good too.

Carlos Carrillo16th March 2008Fantastic lesson Muris!!!!

Thank you Carlos.

I love the effect of those semi tones sliding
into the correct note!
Those are the out notes, right?
The two lessons combined (rhythm and solo)
are also a great theory exercise.
Could never apply them to my own playing,
in that sense they are far too advanced,
but I love "studying" them.
Cheers, Eddie - eddiecat25th March 2008
Oh! Just read the introduction again...
With out notes you mean notes out of the scale!
Forget my previous post!
Bye - Muris Varajic25th March 2008
Yes Eddie,with "out" notes I think of notes out of scale,diatonic wise,major,minor and modes(7 notes scale).
But Jazz is wide space where chromatic has great importance. - eddiecat25th March 2008
Sorry, me again!
The semi notes sliding into correct notes
are neighbour notes, right?
Aaarggghhhhh... - Muris Varajic25th March 2008
That's right Eddie.
Some neighbor notes are also "out" notes,as you can see. 
Lian Gerbino30th April 2008man u r awesome!

sigma727th May 2008grr..why is jazz so hard?!
- Muris Varajic27th May 2008
Perhaps it has wider boarders but believe me,
once you jump into it it's a pure fun. - stickpin1st February 2009
new guy here,do the lessons use standard tuning?
is there a tuning application on the site?
just want to be able to play along and be in tune with the tracks and work with the lessons.
thanks - Muris Varajic2nd February 2009
Most of the lessons are in standard tuning
except few but there is always a note about tuning.
There is no tuner app on the site right now
but that feature is coming up soon I hope.
And welcome to GMC.

Hello GMC! As I promised, it's time to play solos over Jazzy Swing backing track.:)
This time it's on Beginner Level, nothing hard here indeed, technique wise. But maybe it's bit tricky to follow notes cause it's not just simple major or minor scale.
It is in Key of D and I do use D major scale here a lot but there are also some neighbor notes
and "out" of scale notes included.
Now, if you practiced my previous Jazz Rhythm lesson(hope you did) then you probably noticed many chords with "out" of scale notes. In this solo we simply follow those chords, nothing else.:) So don't think of it as some other scale, it's still D major scale with some small alterations caused by chord progression,that's all!
And try to play it with thumb as I did, gives nice and warm jazzy sound. :)
Have fun!
Muris Varajic
