A powerful tool that doesn't get mentioned enough is chord synonyms - chords with enough similar notes that they can be used interchangeably.
It can be overwhelming to learn all your inversions for every chord type in every key, etc.
Using synonyms is a quick way to expand your chord arsenal without having to learn any new voicings!
In this podcast we'll discuss ...

Turnarounds! No, this isn't your GPS speaking - it's real jazz lingo đThey're the chord progressions you can use to get from the end of the tune all the way back to the top.
In this podcast, I'll be discussing the most common turnaround (I-VI-II-V), and how you can make it more hip using tritone substitution and shifting chord qualities (Ă la Tadd Dameron).

In this episode we decipher the whole mysticism behind "voicings in fourths", also called quartal harmony. The first few voicings on Miles Davis' "So What" immediately come to mind when think about quartal chords.
In the first part of the podcast, we'll discuss voicings built in fourths "under" all the notes of the C major scale, as their top notes ... and learn how to create so-called "quartal inversions" of those.
In the secon...

As a jazz guitar player, you'll be asked to and will likely want to play the blues. It's a ubiquitous form and there are so many heads out there. Likewise, there have surely been times where you've heard someone play the blues and thought that it sounds way cooler than how it does when you play off of a lead sheet.
It's probably because they were using all sorts of jazz blues substitutions. In this podcast, I cover different blues...

In this podcast, we'll look into an exercise that is relatively simple in concept, but that can go very deep (as far as helping you become a better improviser). The "big scales" exercise, so-called, deals with the entire range of the instrument. Start low, cover all the notes, climb all the way up. Then come back down! I challenge you to apply some big scales to your own favorite standard progression. See if you can keep playing th...
