It's overwhealming what you're supposed to know before you start soloing in a jazz context. Chord tones/arpeggios, modes etc... there's too much to do and it's often off putting.

When you listen to some of the classic jazz guitar greats like Django, Charlie Christian etc, you hear this relatively simple idea ALL of the time. It's a big part of jazz foundations and it gets you playing exiting lines almost immediatly.

Just start with the harmonic minor scale and the inbuilt diminished arpeggio, and you'll be able to start creating lines with tension and resolution/movement straight away.

I am a professional musician from the UK, and I'm primarily known for my work in the folk/country duo Smith & Brewer. I do all sorts of session work for other artists, and I perform in a number of other bands to pay the bills.

I've been teaching for around 20 years now and I love sharing what I have learned with my students. Get in touch via my website if you are interested in having guitar lessons - I teach both in person and online.
