Description

You listen to people like Wes Montgomery, Joe Pass and Kenny Burrell playing chord solos and you want to play solos like that. Playing Chord solos is a big part of especially the hard-bop era guitar vocabulary.

In this video lesson package I have recorded and transcribed a three chorus chord solo on summertime  The lesson includes exercises and a 3 video analysis of the solo

The lesson package

In 3 videos I will analyze the solo and talk about how the phrases are constructed. To help you work on chord soloing. I also demonstrate some exercises to come up with voicings for chord solos and to train your ability to actually play the chord solos.

Since Summertime is a minor tune with a lot of tonic minor I also discuss 3 different approaches to harmonize minor chords. This will help you to get different sounds so you can add variation to your solos.
