In this video, I show you how to improve your jazz feel by analyzing six licks that slur onto the beat.

In my experience, the number one thing that gets in the way of having a good jazz feel is slurring in the wrong places in time.

In this video, we learn to improve our jazz feel by studying a few licks from some of the best jazz guitarists in history.

What we’ll see is that to get a great jazz feel, we want to hammer on, pull off, or slide onto strong beats.

I hope you enjoy this lesson and find it beneficial.
