💬 Lesson Description

What if your guitar only had four frets and two strings? Would it be easier to improvise over jazz chord changes?

Well, you might be limited in what you can play, but yes, it would be much easier.

Strictly limiting our notes can help immensely with navigating chord changes when we’re improvising.

In this lesson, we get to the heart of what is most difficult about jazz guitar improvisation - switching our note selection as we play.

But we do it in a way that is very accessible and great for beginners.

I first learned how to target chord changes by studying the melody of the tune "Tenor Madness" by Sonny Rollins.

So, that's exactly what we do in this lesson.

I hope you enjoy this lesson about jazz guitar improvisation for beginners and find it beneficial.

Let me know what you think in the comments.

Thanks! :)
