JAZZ GUITAR LICKS LAB

JAZZ GUITAR LICKS LAB

ONLINE WORKSHOP WITH PAUL SILBERGLEIT

In this hands-on workshop with MJI guitar instructor Paul Silbergleit, you can start building a vocabulary of melodic ideas for jazz improvisation by trying out a few simple, short, easily playable lines or “licks.” Technical tips for their execution on guitar will be given, along with examples of how they may fit into an improvised solo. The focus of this month’s session will be on phrases that work over the ii–V–I progression, as a way to begin playing through changing chords.

Cost: $15
