C Ionian Lick

C Ionian Lick is a free jazz guitar lesson by Guy Fenocchi where you will learn a variation of the C Ionian Scale. We're going to remove a few notes from the scale to create an interval sequence of Fourths that we will use to make up our jazz lick. Breaking a scale up with a sequence can elongate and idea, change the phrasing, and make it fun for the player as well as listener.
