You Can Play Jazz Guitar 2 - Improvising And... - Bosworth Music

Now it's time to dig deeper into jazz improvisation in styles ranging from bebop to jazz blues. On this second DVD, guitarist Mike DeMicco presents a full range of soloing ideas designed to expand your knowledge of the guitar in one quantum leap!
Mike starts off with an in-depth look at the Ilm-V-I progression and the relationships between chords, scales and modes. Through dozens of examples, including scale and chord comping exercises in all the keys and his own composition 'Lydian Girl', he explains sharp 9 and flat 9/flat 5 chords, the ecovative Dorian and Lydian modes, and how to create solos over some dazzling chord changes.
Mike examines styles developed by Mike Stern, Tal Farlow, John Coltrane, Wes Montgomery and others, and shows you how to create passing tones, solo lines, octave passages and personal improvisations. He closes the DVD with an exploration of jazz-blues, getting you into this popular form through his swinging original 'Dues Blues'.
