Effortless Guitar - Smooth Jazz Techniques
From a guitarist's perspective, Smooth Jazz is more like instrumental rhythm and blues guitar, funk and pop music! It is a vibrant playground of great jazz guitar grooves, sophisticated blues-based harmonies, and lush orchestration - in the tradition of James Brown, Tower of Power, Earth, Wind and Fire and Carlos Santana. It is where jazz, rock, pop, funk, r&b, and Latin guitar styles all come together on the guitar. This smooth jazz guitar lesson DVD will help you to master this jazz guitar style, extending your knowledge of jazz guitar harmony, blues guitar techniques, funk rhythm guitar skills and a keen, lyrical sense of melody in a variety of jazz guitar tone and amp settings.
