You’ll tell your own musical guitar soloing story that connects with the melody of the tune
Accelerated learning for the jazz guitarist
Learning Martin Taylor’s original solos is like taking a conversation class when studying a new language. You’ll start with a small seed of an idea inspired by the song’s melody, then naturally develop it into longer, more complex musical guitar solo. Instead of just playing licks, you’ll learn to develop an actual musical conversation that always links back to the source.
These 12 etudes have been carefully crafted to help you progress beyond predictable scales and exercises into playing actual music. Together, they cover virtually every essential chord progression in modern jazz and accelerate your progress as you learn to build solos that will keep your listeners engaged.
