Guitarists will learn the traditional grooves and changes along with modern approaches to time-proven figures in a way to help you play in a wide spectrum of settings, from big band and small combos to a solo context.
Material is presented progressively but nothing is simplified.
All examples are rhythmically notated which is very important in a jazz context as rhythm represents perhaps the single most important element of creative jazz improvisation.
