Jazz Guitar Q&A #25 – Functional Harmony – Jam Sessions – Uninspired

In this weeks Q&A I will go over some questions on Functional Harmony as an approach to understanding jazz standards and songs in general. How I use it and in general times what it is. Jam sessions, how do you behave and what to expect and be aware of when going to an open session. Finally there is also a question on dealing with practicing when you are not inspired or motivated.

If you have any questions on guitars, effects, improvisation, technique or improvisation then leave a comment on my video or send me a message on Facebook or Instagram.
