Jazz Guitar Scales

JAZZ GUITAR SCALES IN CONTEXT

Learning jazz guitar scales can seem daunting, that’s why we created the Fastlines series of printed and ePub range of low cost guitar methods. You can download our free taster PDF and listen to all the lick ideas that are presented in the printed and ePub book. We hope you enjoy listening to the examples and that you will consider buying our low cost printed versions direct from Amazon.

So what are the main problems in learning to improvise and understanding how jazz guitar scales work? The biggest challenge is having a good library of musical ideas to work with and develop. If you have a range of great sounding ideas and backing tracks to actually play them over; that is half the battle.

By learning the jazz guitar lines presented here, you are building up a resource or library of pre learned phrases that you will develop and change as you continue your practice.
