all the things guitar

I like to improvise over jazz standard chord progressions to keep myself fresh. Here’s my usual process: I practice for about 45 minutes, then sit down at my computer, download a jam track, and try to nail it on the first take. After that, I transcribe my own solo—which is, to say the least, very interesting!

What’s funny is that I often struggle to play my own lines—the ones I just played a minute before! But I learn so much from this process, and it’s been incredibly rewarding.

This etude comes with a PDF featuring tabs and standard notation, as well as a WAV audio track so you can play along with me.
