Jazz for the Curious Guitarist

Welcome to Jazz for the Curious Guitarist! If you are ready to finally learn to play real jazz guitar, then this book is for you. I will take you from the very beginning to show you the basics of jazz guitar playing through to an expert level of jazz in which you'll have full mastery over all jazz guitar chords that exist, basic & advanced scales & arpeggios, jazz rhythm, as well as music theory & jazz guitar theory. As we start, we'll learn the guitar basics to get ready for the jazz guitar lessons and I'll assume that you don't play guitar at all, in fact, that you're a complete beginner. Then we'll get into the jazz guitar lessons. The jazz guitar lessons are cumulative (each lesson builds on the previous lesson.) We will work extensively on jazz chords, jazz guitar scales, arpeggios, jazz rhythms, music theory, jazz guitar theory, and various jazz guitar concepts. Any kind of six-string guitar will work well for this course - electric guitar, acoustic guitar, or classical guitar. The world needs more jazz guitar players. This is going to be a lot of fun! Let's get started.
