This is part 1 of my new "Simplifying Jazz Guitar" series.

• If you sometimes wish that jazz could be simpler.
• If you wish it were easier and faster to get to the point of truly jamming on a tune.
• If you’ve ever wanted to pick up your guitar, jump into a jam, and actually sound like you belong there—without overthinking scales, chord changes, or theory—you’re going to love this series.

If you know my teaching style, you know I don't shy away from complexity or effortful practice, but I've learned over time that methodically simplifying our approach first is the secret ingredient to sounding amazing as quickly as possible—And I've created a framework for just that.

In the lesson, I outline my framework for simplifying jazz and I elaborate on the concept of improvising with tonal centers.

After watching the video, please comment on YouTube and let me know if you found it helpful. A quick "yes" works great (more is fine too).

I really appreciate hearing from you. It fuels my energy for filming the next lesson. :)
