Learning jazz doesn't have to be complicated.

Do this:

  1. Learn the melody of a song you like
  2. Learn the chords of the song
  3. Find a way to play a solo guitar version of it
  4. Learn to play all the arpeggios for the song
  5. Connect them through the changes
  6. Learn licks that you can use on that song
  7. Write an etude as a way to study the song
  8. Jam on the song & perform it
  9. Repeat steps 6 to 8 as needed
  10. Repeat steps 1 to 9 on the next song


If you're interested to learn more in depth on this topic or level up your guitar playing ,music theory or songwriting or composing skills. get in touch with me for private lessons in Kuala Lumpur or worldwide via Skype/Zoom/Facetime etc.
