What will you cover in “How To Practice, Vol. 3: Developing A Linear Language”?

• In How To Practice, Vol. 3, we begin by building on foundational materials—scales, triads, and 7th chord arpeggios—and expanding upon them to demonstrate how to apply these materials practically within the context of chord changes. We also explore how to transform these basics into linear language for soloing.
• To maintain focus throughout How To Practice, Vol. 3, we will limit ourselves to two standard chord progressions frequently used in jazz and improvised music. These progressions were chosen because they include essential chord types (major, minor, diminished, and augmented) as well as practical examples of ii-V-I progressions (both major and minor)—vital components of nearly any chord progression you’ll encounter in modern contemporary music. These two progressions offer a harmonic framework that can be applied to virtually any other set of chord changes.

What will you cover in “20 Melodic Etudes For Rhythm Guitar”?

• We’ll focus on 20 rhythm guitar etudes, each accompanied by play-along backing tracks, to explore the melodic, linear, and chordal vocabulary shared between rhythm and lead guitar approaches. This approach results in a contemporary rhythm guitar style that I call Melodic Rhythm Guitar. You'll primarily encounter this style in contemporary jazz, R&B, and soul-influenced music. It draws heavily from the classic chord-melody techniques often heard in traditional jazz guitar.
• Through 20 etudes, we’ll dive deeply into this approach, applying it to a variety of chords, including Minor 7 chords (e.g., Ab Minor 7 and Ab Minor 11), Dominant 7 chords (e.g., Db13sus4 and Db7#5#9), and Major 7 chords (e.g., Gb Major 7).
