From a guitarist's perspective, Smooth Jazz is more like instrumental rhythm and blues, funk and pop music! It is a vibrant playground of great grooves, sophisticated blues-based harmonies, and lush orchestration - in the tradition of James Brown, Tower of Power, Earth, Wind and Fire and Carlos Santana. It is where jazz, rock, pop, funk, r&b, and Latin styles all come together on the guitar.

This DVD will help you to master this style, extending your knowledge of jazz harmony, blues techniques, funk rhythm skills and a keen, lyrical sense of melody in a variety of tone and amp settings.

At the end of the course, you'll have mastered a range of guitar techniques crucial for smooth jazz playing. Here's a list of some of the techniques covered:
•  Vibrato
•  Alternate Picking
•  Legato
•  Bluesy Bends
•  Chord Progressions
