Are you interested in exploring the world of jazz guitar but just don’t know where to start? Let’s fix that! Jazz chords can be intimidating but most guitarists probably already have the basic knowledge necessary to find the sounds they are looking for. Join Paul as he covers chords and voicing, harmony, form, and soloing. Paul will look at two of the most basic forms in jazz to see how they work and experiment with variations that can open new chordal possibilities. He will also show you how to start constructing solos that work over chord changes.
