My eyes have been opened with this I been struggling for a while with improvisation this has helped so much

Hey Greg, this is awesome! I've always loved the jazz improvisation sound but could never figure out how they do it. This "simple" video shows me how to get that sound without having to get bogged down in all the theory of it. For me, this is a MAJOR step forward! Thanks for posting it. I hope there's more of this kind of teaching on your website... I'm headed there next.

+Jeff Lewis Hi Jeff, glad you enjoyed the post! My site www.fretdojo.com is fairly new at the time of writing however just published a new post on jazz chord melody playing. There will be lots of new material on jazz guitar playing coming soon. Cheers, Greg

This is the way I learned to play years ago. One thing I would like to point out is by practicing these techniques in each position first and then learn each closed position of the natural, harmonic, melodic, and blues scales , all of the approach notes and enclosed notes exist within each of the minor scale variations. Not just the particular minor key but its relative and parallel major. Very cool. Thanks for the refresher!!

This might be the best jazz soloing video I’ve ever watched. Solid, to the point, and with practical tips that you can put into action right now. Great work and thank you!

nice simple explanation of something I have always known yet never articulated, thus my playing is sort of sloppy...thanks, this was a good lesson, very clearly explained

NICE LESSON ... played the minor pentatonic scale instinctively before I ever knew what it was ... all of my solos were built around it ... this now gives me some new options to incorporate ... not so random but with a focus on specific basics for riffs ... COOL ... makes for great phrasing ... NEVER TOO LATE TO LEARN ... THANKS !!!

Well done! You are correct in saying that most people trying to learn the jazz vocabulary just haven't found the right way of learning for them. I absolutely love jazz but haven't been able to make sense out of it in a way that translates to lyrical improv. I stumbled on your site and finally found a way of learning that works for me. Thank you for posting your knowledge. I have been having so much fun and even my wife said my playing improved over night.

OMG!! This is golden!!! This is what I’ve been looking for since I remember playing the guitar, this is a game changer right here! 🙌🏾

Thank you so much! These tips will help me improvise a lot better playing other styles. Best video on improvising I have seen.

this concept really quickly brings you to the jazz guitar improv, that i like. making lines with these licks and permutations. hear the lines in your head and bringing it to the guitar, thanks fret dojo, another great video.

This is soooooo good and clear!! You are amazing. It’s like we finally see how magic trick works for the first time. Thank you!!

I will thank you so much. This single lesson just change completely my way to approach, as blues student, the jazz guita playing! Well done!!!

I LOVE YOU. Finally. Simple. To the point. So HELPFUL

This is literally EXACTLY the video I was looking for. Thank you so much.

Half way through this video i cant wait to pick up my guitar and have a blast at using fourths in a jazz style in ascending and descending. Fabulous video, ps 5am in 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 and played for many years. Just never Jazz so im intrigued. Thanks 👍👍

This is the type of vid I've been looking for. Good one

OMG.I am so lucky to have found your channel. Thank you for your amazing lesson.

Tremendous lesson so well explained. Thank you so much for teaching us how to start driving towards the Jazz road.

Excellent for my level of Jazz - very helpful - much appreciated.

I've been playing for roughly ten years. THIS IS WHAT I HAVE BEEN LOOKING FOR. I've memorized all of the pentatonic patterns, but I've always stayed to a blues style, and haven't been able to break out of my usual bluesy vocabulary. Can't wait to smoke a legal joint (Canada things, woot woot) and chill out to this. Thank you so, so much!!

Great to see some of the techniques broken down into easy to practise parts

Thanks, Greg. I am a member of Matt's jazz guitar group. A great teacher. Looks like he did a great job with your talents.

Really solid and excellent been trying to find Lucid explanation like this for years

Been playing guitar for 35 years and Jazz for 33. The secret: there is no secret. You have to study, practice and have some (not too much) natural talent. Shortcuts are very useful for people who do not want to study and practice.

Great to hear you found this helpful Arthur!

This taught me so much, glad I found this video.

Excellent concept of making the scales more interesting BUT what I would have liked is not only the improvisation but also what CHORDS go with the scale so the player is totally self sufficient instead of using backing tracks. For Example: Playing half the scale and then throwing in a couple easy jazz chords that would fit, then continue with the scale and then add more easy chords. some people out there (like me) who are at the novice/intermediate level) just want to sound good. Play some George Benson and you will have a better idea of what I mean - thank you for your efforts, I really enjoyed your video. Hope you take it to the next level.

Approach notes and enclosure notes on the pentatonic !!! wow, thanks man, thats a great lesson, cheers mate.

Thank you so much from Thailand. I finally got somewhere to start having an idea.

Man, such simple techniques, but they sure make playing look and sound full and skillful!

This really helps me, thanks you so much!!!!

Excelente aula, professor! Estou estudando aqui!!!

That a very good lesson. Without complicated teorical concepts. Thanks a lot!

Wow....really brilliant. Thank you!!

They you so much for this! I've been trying to finding the right lesson for me to start of my improvision but i'm still a beginner at preforming jazz.
