In this free jazz guitar lesson we are going to experiment with the F Melodic Minor Scale. In the video we will use the backing track "Bb Static Dominant" which is track 10 from the Let's Jam! Jazz & Blues CD. This jam track is a one chord vamp on Bb7.

Here's the F Melodic Minor scale.
Let's play the scale in another position.
Here is a third position where we can play that scale.
Now we'll play these scales with track 10 of the Let's Jam! Jazz & Blues CD.
Static Chord Licks by Billy Wilkie is a 27 minute Quicktime video lesson that covers several approaches to soloing over a static chord. Though the chord progression itself doesn't change, we can imply changes by using different scales. This is a method Joe Pass used and we'll learn some licks in the same style. We've also included a static G7 jam track so you can practice these new concepts. $4.99
