20 Beginner Jazz Standard Licks

This brand new licks pack from the incredible Luca Mantovanelli gives you the perfect introduction to Beginner Jazz lead guitar playing and more specifically, ways to approach the most common beginner Jazz standards out there. Keeping the licks technically simple but melodically interesting this package contains all of the tools you will need to master the basics of Jazz guitar and get you jamming right away over the authentic backing tracks in various Jazz styles.

Some players are a little weary of Jazz as it often seems like only advanced players and theory-buffs can play it, but this package debunks this myth by giving you 20 simple Jazz licks that you can start incorporating into your playing right away. If you are interested in the theory behind the licks our bonus lick notes contains extra little nuggets of information and tips about the theory and techniques you may encounter such as: harmonic minor scales, super-locrian scales, diminished scales, altered arpeggios, chromatic notes, the blues scale, dominant chords and arpeggios, superimposing chords and more.

This pack boasts 10 great backing tracks to cover all of the basic Jazz featuring the following standard chord progressions: Major 2-5-1, Minor 2-5-1, All The Things You Are, Autumn Leaves, Bb7Swing, Bb Jazz Blues, Rhythm Changes, Blue Bossa, Major Latin backing track and a Minor Swing backing track.

If you can conquer the progressions in these tracks, and master the basic Jazz licks you will be well on your way to tackling other more complicated Jazz standards. Luca will be releasing intermediate and advanced versions to follow this pack, so purchase and download the beginners pack now to get a great step up on the next release of the series.

As ever, we have included everything you need to practise and perfect the material in this package. There are video and audio tracks for you to watch/listen and study, accurately transcribed TAB/notation for you to analyse and master as well as backing tracks for you to practise every lick to, and jam out your own solos! We've even included some text notes to help you really get these parts down!
