Curriculum
Too many guitarists avoid jazz because it feels intimidating or out of reach. The real issue? They never learned the fundamentals that make jazz approachable on the guitar. Jazz is for everyone, regardless of your musical background.
Ask yourself:
👉 Do you understand how a 2-5-1 progression works — and how to play it smoothly?
👉 Can you comp through a jazz tune with proper feel and voice leading?
👉 Do lead sheets confuse you, or feel like a foreign language?
👉 Are you avoiding jazz entirely because you don’t know where to start?
If any of this sounds familiar, that’s your gap. And Intro To Jazz Guitar Vol. 1 is the course that will finally close it.
