It can be hard to start playing a new musical style if you don't have a grip on the particular technique it uses. As an introduction to the jazz guitar, we have gathered a series of tips, tricks and techniques as used by the masters.

This solfege and tablature course is split into 4 parts:

• Unlike rock, pop music and other styles, jazz guitar barely use barre chords and other less open string chords. You will learn in the first part **the rythmics and chords used in jazz guitar.
• The second part of this course concern the techniques used such as: ternary phrases, the sweeping, the use of octave, ghost notes...
• The third part is a repertory of phrases that will allow you in the end to built your own solos.
• We are finishing this course with music pieces played by the masters: Charlie Christian, Django Reinhardt, Jim Hall, George Benson, Pat Metheny...

The exercises and music pieces are recorded on the accompanying CD of this course. Most of the tunes are recorded at a normal tempo, followed by a slower version.

To help you practice your soloing, the play-along tracks can be found on the accompanying CD of this course.
