Why does jazz guitar seem so complicated? You can play guitar pretty well, but this stuff is crazy!

Looking at a page out of the real book, it’s hard to figure out what any of these chord symbols even mean. How do people ever learn the chords to play on this stuff?

Let alone remembering them all. 

And soloing is another problem entirely. What ever happened to being able to shred through one scale for an entire song? There are so many key changes, it makes your head spin – and now you’re supposed to start learning a new scale for every chord?

A quick internet search for answers only makes things worse. There is just an overwhelming amount of information about jazz guitar. And everybody has a different (but very strong) opinion on what the “right way” is.

At this point, you either decide to go down every rabbit hole you find until you understand what these people are talking about…

… or you decide that “maybe jazz guitar just isn’t for me” and go back to the music you can already play.

But what if jazz guitar was easy?

Imagine you’re someone who just “gets” how to play jazz guitar. 

Chords just aren’t an issue for you.

It’s easy for you to crack open the real book and play through the chords to any song you land on. And in a jazz band, you don’t even have to practice playing your chords. You can just show up and play.

You understand any chord symbol at a glance – and you can build any chord you need. Instantly.

Your days of not knowing the notes on the fretboard are far behind you.

In fact, you know the fretboard like the back of your hand. You never get lost, because the notes you need are always right under your fingers – no matter where you are on the guitar neck.

When you’re playing chords, it’s easy for you to “walk” your shapes up and down the neck. And when you’re soloing, you can catch big key changes without even moving your hand. The fretboard is completely unlocked – it’s just not a mystery for you anymore.

In your solos, it’s easy for you to play what you hear in your head.

It’s almost like you have  a direct link between what you hear in your head, and what comes out of your guitar.

You have an endless source of ideas, so you never run out of things to play. And you don’t have to try and remember licks or formulas for improvisation. Because you can play what you hear.

Your practice time is anything but a routine.

It’s more like you’re just playing your guitar – but somehow getting better every time.

You sit down with your guitar and a cup of coffee – and follow your nose. Working on the areas of jazz guitar that interest you the most that day.

To some people, your practice almost seems more like you’re just playing around. But you know how much you’re really getting done – because you have a system.

You sit down with your guitar and play a tune you’re learning – picking out a couple of things you need to work on that day. As you play, you focus on the skills that are causing glitches in your playing. So you can play the way you really want to.

You can easily shift gears between playing the song, and working on something you need to clean up. So you keep moving forward without feeling bored or overwhelmed.

And at the end of your session, you’re a better guitar player than when you started.

You can confidently jam with other musicians.

It’s one of your favorite parts of your week. It’s always fun to get together with other players and play. Whether it’s in a friend’s living room, or on stage at a local jam session.

You can play any tune you want because you can read chord charts easily, and you’re learning new songs all the time.

You don’t have to do anything special to “prepare” for jamming with people – you can just show up and play.

You’ve started playing your own gigs.

You’ve got a couple of friends you like to play with, and you get some gigs at restaurants in town. It’s a fun way to spend an evening, and you even walk away with some cash.

You have a good time putting your set together, and you even have some of your own arrangements with your group.

Some people have even started asking you for jazz guitar lessons after they hear you play.

Save time and money with online jazz guitar lessons

Why listen to me?

I’m Kyle Smith, and at this point I’ve been a jazz guitarist for most of my life.

I’ve spent decades studying how to play jazz guitar, how to teach it better, and make jazz guitar easier for you to learn.

When I went to college for music, I fell into the same traps as a lot of jazz guitar students:

  • Did long transcription projects
  • I learned all of the theory
  • Studied every approach to improvisation
  • Memorized licks to use in my solos
  • Studied drop 2 chords

And at the end of the day, I was working really hard to get just a little bit better.

Now, all of these things are important to do – there’s no way around it. But I was doing it the wrong way.

I realized that I was trying to practice music the same way a saxophone or a trumpet player would. But what I really needed to do was practice these concepts in a way that works with the guitar.

Because when you take the time to figure out how the guitar really works, things get easier. The theory behind what you’re playing becomes obvious – it’s almost an afterthought.

And once you understand the system – the chords, scales, arpeggios, and licks almost play themselves. You’re just watching it happen and deciding what you want to hear next.

Because the guitar is supposed to be easy – you just have to work with it and not against it.

Once I  figured this out, playing jazz guitar became easy. Or at least – a lot easier.

With the systems I built around scales, chords, and arpeggios, everything was more straightforward. And it made a lot more sense.

The sounds I needed were instantly under my fingers, anywhere on the guitar.

And it didn’t just work for me…

… every single student who has followed these systems has had great results – better playing and an easier time understanding how jazz guitar works.

Get started with online jazz guitar lessons

Most jazz guitar teachers are going to offer you a free lesson right off the bat to “see if we’re a good fit” before you start lessons.

But this “free lesson” is really just a sales pitch where they try to teach you some “quick tips” and make you feel like you got something really quick.

It’s a lot less of a real lesson, and a lot more convincing you to sign up. And it’s usually not a real representation of how lessons with that person really go.

I’m not interested in selling you on lessons. I want to get straight into the real stuff – helping you actually get better at jazz guitar. That’s why I put together this 5 lesson package to make it easy for you to get started.

Online Jazz Guitar Lessons from Jazz Guitar Guide:

Something I’ve found in my years of teaching is that one-time lessons don’t work very well for most people. You probably learn something, but a lot gets lost or goes over your head.

On the other hand – being able to work together over time gives you a chance to really learn the material, ask questions, and get feedback on your playing. 

So I’ve put together this package of 5 lessons so you can get the benefits of taking lessons over time – without having to commit to a weekly schedule or monthly lesson fees right off the bat.
