Jazz Improvisation, Cracking The Code: Nine Levels - Parts 1 & 2

Adam Smale explains Guitar Jazz Improvisation in 9 Levels. If you’ve been struggling to "crack the code" on How to Improvise Jazz, then this is the a great tutorial lesson you’ve been waiting for! Whether you are a beginner or advanced, this is a thorough Jazz Improvisation lesson. (This was originally two videos, they are now combined into one video) In Part 1, levels 1 through 5 are covered. In the Part 2 lesson, Adam Smale picks up where the Part 1 lesson left off and Levels 6 through 9 are covered.
BUT WAIT! THERE'S MORE. The backing tracks for the songs used in Part 1 and Part 2 (Don't Get Around, and Stella In a Bar Fight, are available on my Patreon page starting at the Bronze Level. These solos are written out in both Tab and Standard Notation in both of the PDF downloads below. You'll have access to two versions of each track, one with me playing the solo, and one without me, just bass and drums. Now that is cool!
By breaking down jazz improvisation on guitar to nine different levels, Adam teaches you how to construct a jazz line from the ground up. This way you now gain the ability to sound good playing through any set chord changes with practice. In other words, you'll learn how to "make the changes!"

Stella in a.barfight?! That was worth the price of admission and the wait to the very end! 😂😂😂😂

[@JazzRockswithAdam]

I’m glad you enjoyed it!

[@Islamdiewithoutlie]

I added a year worth of experience with this. Muchsalams!

[@JazzRockswithAdam]

AWESOME! I’m glad it helped you out. Come back again, you hear? Best, Adam.

When talking about the Core Tones in section 1: we are talking about the 1,3,5,6?, and 7? Also, fantastic explanation of this. Finally feel like I can maybe take a jazz solo one day. Lastly, great concert in Hancock. Thank you for taking the trip.

[@JazzRockswithAdam]

Oh, hey Devon! That was a fun show!! Yes, R-3-5-6 on chords that contain a ma7 (natural 7), and R-3-5-7 on chords containing a b7. I have lots of videos on this topic, but check out this one: This will change the way you improvise (jazz) Forever kzbin.info/www/bejne/fqPPfJytn9upisU

brilliant lesson :) 👍

[@JazzRockswithAdam]

Thanks!

[@Kurtis-Schubert]

Jazz rocks! I notice that gradual curve in the shape of the notes on the staff . I saw that in the chord voice leading too. The nearest note on the page, not big interval jumps.

[@JazzRockswithAdam]

Kurtis Schubert Yes!!!!! You rock! Thanks man! You get the “chop!” Awesome!

[@Kurtis-Schubert]

@@JazzRockswithAdam I just have a beginner's mind. This is perfect for me. I can slow it down and repeat it at my own pace. This is great for reading music and learning the fretboard. Closest Chord tones in small chunks! I sense Jonathon Winter's spirit leading us.

[@JazzRockswithAdam]

Kurtis Schubert That’s great! I’m glad you feel it will help you. I love Jonathan Winters!
