About this course
This jazz bootcamp is designed to give you a practical, musical introduction to jazz guitar without getting lost in theory. Everything in the course is built around one of the most important chord progressions in jazz: the 2-5-1.
The key of C is used throughout, making it as easy as possible to visualise what's happening on the fretboard with no sharps or flats to navigate. From that foundation, the course covers both sides of jazz guitar playing: comping as the rhythm guitarist and soloing as the lead voice.
By the end of the course you will:
Understand the 2-5-1 chord progression and how it works in the key of C
Be able to play jazz seventh chords with authentic swing feel
Know how to improvise jazz lines over a 2-5-1 progression
Play confidently along to the included jazz jam track in both a rhythm and solo context
Whether you're picking up jazz for the first time or looking to add a new dimension to your playing, this bootcamp gives you everything you need to take your first real steps into the style.
What our students say
I first picked up the guitar just over 6 months ago and have been learning completely through Andy's videos on his app. It's great to have so many practice songs with the chords and strumming patterns broken down.
I have been playing for a couple of years now and felt that the Beginner's course might be too easy, but I decided to do the lessons anyway. I am amazed at how much I learned!
I could never have dreamed that in a short space of time I would actually be playing along with some of my favourite songs, but I am and I'm loving it. It's so much easier to learn chords while having fun learning songs, I'm hooked!
Andy's emphasis on learning to play along to real songs and have fun as quickly as possible taught me to make the most of everything I learnt and gave me the confidence to play in public and even to start writing and recording my own songs!
The website with the dashboard facility is brilliant! It has allowed me to keep a close tab on my lessons and practice plans. Keep up the excellent work Andy and team!
When my grandchildren ask me about what I did during the pandemic, I'm going to tell them about how I got stuck at my parents' house learning something I always wanted... music. I can't thank Andy enough!
