Designed to help guitarists coming from a rock, metal and blues background expand their musical ideas and finally understand how to actually play jazz and fusion solos. It includes a deep explanation of the modes, how to phrase over modal and tonal chord progressions, practical ways to outline the chords and play over some very well known jazz standards, how to play over II-V-I progressions and finally, how to tackle Giant Steps! All that using simple shredding concepts such as the use of the pentatonic scale or ‘3 note per string’ scales.
