Learn Martin Taylor’s Jazz Guitar Solos on Classic Standards

Are you struggling to play complete guitar solos on jazz standards?

Do you want to progress from playing “just licks” to developing long, meaningful solos that tell a story?

Are you stuck trying to solo over longer combinations of common jazz guitar chord changes? 

In his new book, Jazz Guitar Soloing Etudes, Martin Taylor presents 12 beautifully crafted jazz guitar etudes, rich with authentic jazz language, that tackle the most popular jazz standards.

Master jazz guitar by going straight to the source!

• You’ll quickly master engaging melodic solos over multiple choruses
• You’ll learn long-form jazz vocabulary that goes way beyond scales and arpeggios
• You’ll discover how to grow long, improvised guitar solos that grow organically
• You’ll tell your own musical guitar soloing story that connects with the melody of the tune

Accelerated learning for the jazz guitarist

Learning Martin Taylor’s original solos is like taking a conversation class when studying a new language. You’ll start with a small seed of an idea inspired by the song’s melody, then naturally develop it into longer, more complex musical guitar solo. Instead of just playing licks, you’ll learn to develop an actual musical conversation that always links back to the source.

These 12 etudes have been carefully crafted to help you progress beyond predictable scales and exercises into playing actual music. Together, they cover virtually every essential chord progression in modern jazz and accelerate your progress as you learn to build solos that will keep your listeners engaged.
