Get Started

This is where blues meets jazz. You’ll start using notes beyond the blues scale to add a jazzy touch to your sound, and bring new rhythms and textures into your improvisation. By the end, you’ll be able to dial up or dial down the amount of jazz in your blues, so it matches your own taste.
