Here's a playlist I put together of some of my favorite jazz players playing the blues. These are some great bluesy performances to check out and a great way to start getting into Jazz. I will keep adding to this playlist as time goes on. Cheers!

Here's the backing track for the most recent lesson on the Melodic Minor Scale. This progression is a minor blues in A minor. It goes to an A7 altered chord in bar 4, and Bmin7b5 to E7 in bar 6 (minor 2-5-1) and then F7 in bar 9 and E7 in bar 10. Sorry for the delay but I have been sick as a dog the last few days. Enjoy!

In case you didn't catch this on my Youtube channel, I'll post it here as well. Yesterday I hung with my friend, neighbor, and guitar hero Guthrie Trapp. We jammed some and talked for a long time about music and the guitar. Enjoy!

Here's a little sneak peak into a solo I'm working out for a lesson I'm putting together on the melodic minor scale and modes. I'll have the tabs up for this soon and the lesson video will be up on my YouTube this coming weekend. Sorry for the lack of posts lately. I'll be back to weekly lesson videos, tabs, and backing tracks starting this week...

Sorry I haven't been able to post in awhile. I just got back from a 10 day trip with my family and it's taken me several days to get back in the swing of things. I promise more content is coming soon! Here is the tabs for the performance video I put up on YouTube awhile back. This solo has a lot of my favorite lines in it. It's a long solo but i...

Here are the tabs for the 4 solo examples in my latest YouTube video 'Minor Blues Basics.' I will upload the tab for the intro solo in a day or two, as soon as I have it done.

Here are the arpeggio shapes to go along with my latest YouTube video called Minor Blues Basics. At first, just get to know these shapes by cycling through them in each position. Then you can start breaking them apart and creating lines. The better you know these, the easier it becomes to visualize chord tones everywhere on the neck.

Here's the backing track from my latest youtube video to go along with the solo tabs. I added a few extra parts that weren't in the video version but the chords are all the same.
