    The first thing I learned to play on guitar was the blues, and I guess that’s the case for the majority of guitar players. Blues has it all, it has a very expressive form and sound and is the best place to master the core elements of jazz playing, such as keeping the form, giving each chord its own sound and the use of substitutes.
    One of the difficulties I had during my early years of guitar playing was transitioning from playing the minor pentatonic scale over the entire blues form to giving each chord its own sound and making the blues sound jazzy.
    In this free lesson, I’ll show you how I started this transition from playing a “bluesy” blues to a more “jazzy” blues.

    You are exactly the guy I need to teach me GJG. My background is blues guitar and your right about going from the pentatonic scale to a brand new system of scale and chords seldom used to play blues if not at all. All this jazz is new to me. I have been trying to train my finger to do new chord shapes and then switch from one to another smoothly. I feel like a baby learning to walk all over. You have a wonderful way of teaching that really breaks it down and explains things. Thank you very much. Looking forward to learning more from you and maybe when i get to the level I want, I will be able to jam with you someday. You seems like a very nice person. The world needs more like you. Thanks John

    Yaakov - you're the best teacher, hands down, because your jazz and blues references & music theory are solid & clearly demonstrated. You're on my bucket list for further instruction. Thanks, Yaakov.

    This is excellent… I really want to be able to mix my GJ into the blues I play , and this is such a great resource.
    There are a lot of teachers on CZcams, but I’ve gotta say, I’ve learned more from your content than just about anyone on here. Thank you Yaakov
    Also wanted to ask if you would do a video like this for minor blues… that would be super useful

    excellent yaakov, authentic blues, feel and tone. A great mix of gypsy and blues.That's what i was thinkin : if i could only combine django arpeggios etc with blues. You are way ahead me and have already done it.

    Do you think you could do a video on shopping for a gypsy jazz guitar or gypsy jazz guitar reviews with information on where to find them etc.
