Learn only the arpeggios you need and quickly turn them into blazing jazz guitar solos…
A solid understanding of arpeggio shapes and how use them to create meaningful solos is a foundation of jazz guitar, but many players struggle to get musical with these important building blocks.
Jazz Guitar Arpeggio Soloing quickly shows you how to bridge the gap between arpeggio shapes and the inventive arpeggio-based lines played by players like Joe Pass, Jim Hall and Wes Montgomery… right through to Jonathan Kreisberg, Julian Lage, Kurt Rosenwinkel and every modern jazz guitar player.
It cuts to the chase to teach only the most usable arpeggios for the jazz guitar player. You’ll find yourself turning to these ideas again and again as ammunition for solos, as you explore the sounds of:
- Major 7
- Minor 9
- Dominant 7b9
- Minor 7b5
- Dominant 7#5b9
With a chapter dedicated to each arpeggio, you’ll discover a powerful mix of drills and melodic vocabulary:
- Learn essential “box position” arpeggio shapes
- Discover extended arpeggio shapes that use the full range of the neck
- Expand your fretboard knowledge with melodic lines that link together arpeggio shapes across the fretboard
- Learn to avoid the root, so arpeggios sound like music, not exercises!
