After beating around the typical genres of Rock and Blues and focusing 80% of my playing on licks and neglecting all accompaniment and rhythm guitar skills, Im finally ready to take the plunge and invest in some decent Jazz Guitar Lessons with a focus on accompaniment, standard songs, and chord based concepts.
Any of you guys know a decent instructor that can teach me Jazz Fundamentals? By Fundamentals, I mean FUNDAMENTALS! No show-offy-speed-legato-hybrid-picking-11 million bpm-shred-fusion-repetitive-guitar-lick-that-relies-on-muscle-memory-super-sweep picking-riff lessons. Ive finally grown weary of devoting time to licks (which account for 10% of music in a typical band setting) and want to focus on understanding what goes on under the hood of harmonies and song structures.
I think I owe it to the guitar to be really good at playing music (not repeating practiced pyrotechnics), sukli sa daming beses na pinasaya ako ng gitara.
Im a typical Average to advanced Rock guitarist who would want to dip his toes in Jazz and get a hold of some decent fundamentals on accompaniment, and what It really means to improvise (Tired of hashing out memorized scales on I IV V's)
If you are such an instructor or would know anyone who can do this kindly PM me your fee, details and number.
Again I'd prefer someone who can teach me with a formal background on music instruction, I'm not looking for a degree holder, but I'm avoiding shredder's who claim to be Jazz Instructors and try to teach me Fusion-y Allan Holdsworth licks.
I've got no gripe with shredders or guitarists who think like athletes but Its just not what Im looking for.
Thanks! (Mods kindly move na lang kung maling forum 'to)
