Thanks Marc, the lessons are always useful and informative. Because I have a broken collarbone at the moment I do a lot of note taking. All will be worth it later, thanks.

Ah yes -- for sure. Virtually an infinite amount of lines can be derived from this: www.jazzguitarlessons.net/blog/connecting-chords-with-linear-harmony

[@dougsmith8430]

Awesome lesson! Just the first trick alone of adding in more eighth notes to spice up the blues with a little bit of jazz feel is something I took away from this that I will always use… Thank you!

[@jazzguitar]

Glad you liked the lesson, Doug!

[@vincebrizio953]

Exellent I really like what you do! I have a question :,
do you prefer the Ibanez PM200 or the Ibanez AF2000 ? Who has more The so-called "mellow tone"? Thanks 🙏

[@jazzguitar]

Never tried the Ibanez 🤷🏻‍♂️

[@rich842]

Me: So just remove distortion and then play a swing beat on the ride

[@seattlevegas66]

Looks like you almost always play a 13th for dominants. True?

[@jazzguitar]

;)

[@davidtropp6232]

TOO EASY!

[@AlMonzoEsq]

The guitar looks deformed. Like a piece of 4 x 2 and lifeless. What do some people find aesthetically pleasing about a butchered headstock, I'll never know.
