Truefire James Hogan Trading Solos Soul Jazz

No one would argue that one of the most effective ways you can become a better guitarist is to play with other musicians. That's where the real learning happens. By sitting in at jam sessions, interacting with the rhythm section, and playing behind soloists, you can hone your comping chops and learn how to improvise compelling solos yourself.

In James Hogan's Soul Jazz edition of Trading Solos, you'll jam with James over five popular soul jazz grooves, in a variety of keys and feels. James kicks off the course sharing some tone tips to help you get a great 'soul jazz' sound. And then for each of the five grooves, James shows you a handful of moves and comping approaches. You'll then take turns applying those ideas, trading solos, and comping for each other over the tracks.

”We'll jam together over five killer soul jazz grooves in a variety of keys, tempos and feels. For each of the five examples, I'll teach you a handful of classic licks and comping ideas that we can both use when trading solos and comping for one another. I'll show you some killer licks, talk about developing good tone, and show you how the soul jazz greats have inspired my playing in this style. You'll be able to jam along together on screen, checkout the tabs and chord charts, and follow along with video synced tab, too. This is gonna be fun!”

James will explain and demonstrate all of the key concepts and approaches along the way. You'll get standard notation and tabs for all of the key examples and performance studies. Plus, you'll be able to use TrueFire's learning tools to sync the tab and notation to the video lesson. You can also loop or slow down the videos so that you can work with the lessons at your own pace. All of the backing tracks are included to work with on your own as well.
