Too many guitarists want to solo over jazz tunes, but get lost as soon as the chords start moving. Key changes? Complex chords? Uh-oh...
The reason? They never learned how to actually build a solo or connect their ideas to the harmony.
Ask yourself:
👉 Do you know how to outline a 2-5-1 progression in a solo?
👉 Can you confidently play through changes using arpeggios and modes?
👉 Do your solos sound like music or like you're guessing your way through it?
If not, that’s the missing link. This course is designed to help you bridge the gap and finally start improvising with confidence and clarity.
