Melody is king in Jazz music, perhaps even more so than in any other style. Students of jazz guitar frequently find themselves overwhelmed by scales, arpeggios and theory, which can be a barrier to getting to the sound and feel of jazz. Having a solid grasp on melodic devices, fretboard layout, and understanding how to navigate jazz harmony is the key to improvising fluidly and truly bringing your jazz solos to life.

The most commonly encountered chord progression across the entire jazz standard songbook is the 2-5-1 in both major and minor keys. The broader your vocabulary of 2-5-1 lines, the more creative you can be with your solos. And once you understand how to craft your own 2-5-1 lines, you can take your improvisational skills to a whole new level.

Like any other language, the language of the blues relies on a player’s command of its vocabulary coupled with their ability to express themselves creatively with that vocabulary. Stringing blues licks together and running pentatonic scales up and down over the changes may get you up and running quickly but that’s only the first step of your learning journey as a blues guitarist.

Great jazz rhythm guitar players have command navigating all over the fretboard, have a solid understanding of the harmonic material for the underlying changes, and possess a wide range of tasteful rhythmic approaches -- all of which require a never-ending process of learning, practice and perennial growth.

Guitarists spend most of their time on stage playing rhythm guitar.
