Living Through The Changes Masterclass

Many modern guitar players are becoming increasingly adept at playing over blues and jazz standards such as incorporating II-V-I’s, but what happens when we’re confronted with something a bit more complex - something that changes key a lot, and has a different tonal centre as it changes from section to section? In these scenarios a new set of rules apply, and James’s masterclass will give you all the knowledge you need, so that even the most complex harmonic structures become fluid to you.

James say’s ‘Solos aren’t technical exercises - the solos we love appeal to us on a deeply emotional level’ … ‘when you can bring all the things together that we study in the masterclass, you can transcend the solo and it turns into a piece in it’s own right - and that’s really where the magic lives.’

Everything is laid out clearly for you in PDF format, as James give you all the supporting information and explanations you need to study his masterpiece!

In an in-depth exploration of his piece, you’ll look at the main melody with harmonic variations, a full chord solo, three note shell voicing, and techniques such as pivoting, approach and landing notes, suspensions, double suspensions, altered notes and inner lines, allowing you to think vertically and add all kinds of colour to your solos. There’s a lot to work on and none of it is at the sacrifice of what matters most - the music!

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, and backing tracks for everything!

So if being able to play over even the most complex chord changes smoothly is something you want to be able to do, then let James show you exactly how to do it in the most musical and expressive way you can.
