New Lesson: Jazz Guitar Licks

We have two new Jazz Guitar Lessons available.

Solo in G by Billy Wilkie is a Quicktime video lesson where you will learn how to play a complete jazz solo. This downloadable lesson covers how to play a 15 measure solo over a jazz blues progression in G. Billy will break down the solo measure by measure and discuss what is happening at different times. This lesson should add some more tricks to your bag as well as give you an idea of how to piece a solo together. Watch a sample clip from this lesson.

Also, we have More Benson Style Licks by Billy Wilkie is a Quicktime video lesson covering a variety of jazz guitar licks in the style of George Benson. In our first Benson style lesson we focused on his approach to playing bluesy licks. In this video Billy will cover George Benson's unique way of utilizing and manipulating chromaticism in his solo lines. We'll learn eight licks in the key of G minor and then practice them over a jam track. Watch sample clips from this lesson.
