🎸 Two comfortable Altered Scale fingerings across the guitar neck
🎸 Simple visual shapes that help you target altered tensions with ease
🎸 How to create more modern jazz guitar lines and outside sounds
🎸 Practical ways to improvise over dominant 7 altered chords
Rather than memorizing endless patterns, you’ll learn easy-to-recognize shapes inside the scale that make it much easier to access altered notes naturally in your solos.
Inside the lesson pack you’ll also get:
✅ 3 fully transcribed guitar solos
✅ Backing tracks for practice
✅ An 8-page PDF featuring 32 Altered Scale licks
✅ Step-by-step demonstrations and explanations
✅ Real musical applications you can use in jazz improvisation immediately
This course is perfect for intermediate and advanced guitarists looking to improve their:
Jazz improvisation
Bebop vocabulary
Modern jazz phrasing
Soloing over dominant chords
If you enjoy the playing styles of players like Robben Ford, this course will help you bring those sophisticated altered sounds into your own playing.
