Coltrane changes are fun to play on. 

If you're intimidated by Giant Steps, it could simply be the tempo of the tune. 

Just because Trane's version is fast doesn't mean you can't enjoy using the changes at slower tempos, in smaller increments, and on generally easier tunes.  

In this guitar lesson with free PDF and YouTube short we’ll learn how to turn a dominant 7th chord into a diminished 7th chord.

Free PDF transcription with tab / notation available on GUMROAD and PAYHIP.

In this guitar lesson for beginners, we'll explore how major scale shapes relate to basic major seventh (Maj7) chords. 

In this guitar lesson with tab and YouTube short we’re diving into diatonic arpeggios, focusing on playing them in a fixed position.

Welcome to this lesson on a classic jazz guitar lick that navigates through a 2-5-1 progression in C using some essential jazz concepts.

Here is a guitar study in chord melody of the theme of "Blue Monk" by Thelonious Monk.

The main theme of "Blue Monk" is a simple yet soulful 12-bar blues in Bb. 

You can watch the YouTube Short video and download the PDF transcription with tab.

Here below you'll find a free guitar cheat sheet to learn the chords of the main types of scales that are :

• Melodic Minor

• Major 

• Natural Minor

• Harmonic Minor

Here’s a breakdown of seventh arpeggios and their related chords based on the major scale for guitar.

An arpeggio is essentially the notes of a chord played individually.

Seventh arpeggios add a fourth note (the seventh) to each triad, giving a more complex and richer sound.

In this guitar lesson, we'll be focusing on the arpeggios of the seventh chords derived from the G major scale.

You'll find the free PDF (or name a fair price) here in the GUMROAD Store.

Harmonizing the major scale using 3-note chords, also known as shell voicings, is a fundamental technique used in jazz and contemporary music.

This lesson with free PDF (or give what you want) proposes an easy jazz guitar lick built with an A major 9 arpeggio A (1), C# (3), E (5), G# (7), B (9) including two passing tones Bb (b2 / b9) and G (b7).

This guitar warm-up exercise involves playing three types of triads—major, minor, and diminished—in a consecutive sequence following a descending progression.

The PDF, which includes both TAB and standard notation, is available for free (or pay what you want) in the GUMROAD STORE.

This guitar lesson for beginners explains what's a basic blues progression and how to add a chromatic descending chord sequence at the end.

"Blues For John" by Matteo Mancuso is a compelling funky jazz, blues piece in F that showcases his exceptional guitar skills and deep understanding of blues music.

This lesson provides a free PDF transcription of the main theme.

This guitar lesson provides 7 alternative scales to the Dorian mode.

These scales all include a supplementary note, making them octatonic scales (made of eight notes).

They can be used over minor chords and prove to be an original choice to enhance your soloing skills.
