And More…
Learning is a process of taking the impossible and making it possible, this course is like many private lessons. If you’ll follow closely, and play slowly, again and again, the movements will eventually get into your body and fingers, and then it happens, we can play the thing that we couldn’t play before.
And that is exactly how I teach in this course, slowly and repetitively.
So take your time, play, and it will happen.
Part 1 = Basic Harmony and Theory
Part 2 = Chords
Part 2 = Scales
Part 3 = Walking bass technique

Very Important Note: Walking Bass Jazz it's not an easy technique, from this it is necessary to learn harmony, theory, and all the basic jazz chords before begin!! I know you just want to play jazz on the guitar, but be patient and follow all the step by step. It´s much better to spend fell days learning about harmony than give up after 1 week just because you don't know how to play a Cmaj7(9) chord.
