50 Jazz Guitar Licks You MUST Know!

[000Z9A]

charlie was the really first one that made electric guitar popular by playing solo's over the background chords...and all before hendrix's time...really amazing..

[SteakMusic]

looks cool! this dude is so mellow, I love it!

[Colorfulspheres]

Christopher Walken's kid with Jerry Seinfeld seems to know a thing or two about guitar licks.

[taildragger53]

Frank Vignola is one of the finest. I have so many of his CD's .."Deja Vu" being a real favourite of mine.

Wonderfully explained on every video.

These must've been filmed some time ago though...

[caseofours]

wheres the licks?

[MrHenrick1]

I've been playing guitar for 11 years but feel I have kind of stopped progressing in the last couple of years - videos like this help me to keep enhancing my playing with different styles. Thanks.

[dcrasta]

Stop hating guys. Good video guy. Help the beginners out and ignore the 'experts'.



[florafox]

@dcrasta yes, ignore the expert in the video clip and help the beginners.

[ArkRed1]

Interesting guitar. Is is a D'Angelico or a D'Aquisto?

[micljnes]

He could have made a better choice for a background solo, in shotr, dull.

[toyaLEET]

[00roastedlampost00]

He talks just like Eddie Money

[PF1964]

@pipe2k27 yee es igualito!!!! xD

[deadzior]

too bluesy

[saron380]

@deadzior What's wrong with that?

[athanasiuscontra000]

I asked Clark Terry at a seminar how you're supposed to know what to play during a solo, and he said to build up a library of licks and riffs, and pull from them as you play. Then he sang a riff and asked me to repeat it in front of everybody. LOL. I haven't forgotten his words!!

[viniguitarjazz]

very good lesson ! thanks !

[DeathCalamaro]

there are very few useful lessons on web, that's one of the best

[samnovak100]

this guy is fuckin sweet

[marshi09]

its only a blues scale.. how come its a MUST KNOW licks?

[flvtist]

Rexicano, you are right about listening to sax players, though I suspect you haven't actually listened to what is being said on the video. Learning certain licks and adapting them to your your own tastes helps you to build your own vocabulary. You gotta start out by imitating others before you can make up your own. It's not enough to just learn scales and try to make up your own licks w/o knowing how jazz licks should sound or you'll end up with cool licks that are more rock than jazz.

[Rexicano]

Just learn the scales and make up your own licks.

This sounds like someone who is stuck in the past.

It's 2001...guitarists should listen to sax players and other players so they don't all sound the same as guitarists from fifty years ago.

Jazz and Blues are living art forms not something you take from the Museum and try to do a paint by numbers piece of music.

[erik987987]

@Rexicano Common, what the heck is your problem? Stop complaining, this is a great vid, all famous jazzguitarists except of course the founders off jazz started playing by learning other players licks. Its the best way to learn jazz. Of course improvising and making up your own licks is what jazz mainly is about, if you'r not Pat Martino you cant start from scratch.

[Rexicano]

@erik987987

And I guess that if you were going to be a painter

you'd want to get a paint by numbers kit.

[phishUMup]

@Rexicano learning a lick is not so you can repeat it in your playing it is to build ideas upon

[Rexicano]

@phishUMup

Gee whiz, that's so brilliant...

why didn't I think of that?

[phishUMup]

@Rexicano because you were to busy being sarcastic i guess

[jazzand]

@erik987987 Pat Matino didn't start from scratch either. He copied Wes Montgomery (who copied Charlie Christian, who copied Lester Young, who copied Frankie Trumbauer, etc.) Nobody springs up in a vacuum!

[screechkid116]

@Rexicano it's 2001? wow. so much hasn't happened yet, including the invention of youtube, therefore this comment doesn't exist!

[Rexicano]

@screechkid116

The fact that you and your playing are "not happening" are clear after watching your awful video. Your picking is like seeing a drunk man stumble in a dark alley.

[screechkid116]

@Rexicano what video?

[screechkid116]

@Rexicano because i didn't think i was TOO bad in this video: /watch?v=iBM1U3u_ku8

[sebabsen]

No Wes montgomry licks??

[jimraw1]

@sebabsen I'm sure Wes is in there. Frank Vignola is one of the great guitarists out there.

[alpacazzz]

So So So helpful... thank you.

T.

[HendrixcommaMartin]

[snowyICEgun]

[dantz75]

[chillichomper]

He's a made man you plays guitar lmao

[jmsbk12345]

Could someone please let me know how I obtain the backing rhythm tracks that I can hear. Do I receive a CD with all the jazz tracks on and are they at different speed and how long are the tracks? etc etc. I've tried emailing Truefire but have not received an answer.

[zwendkos]

The full course includes 52 full-length video lessons, PIP video of picking hand, text commentary, tab, notation, practice rhythm tracks and Power Tab so you can see, hear and play along with the tab and notation at any tempo, without change in pitch.

[darthfocus]

try band in a box software

[awesomewelles90]

yeah band in a box is great

[riempito7]

[KarPtube]

It is a D'angelico NY-SS

[spamount028]

[GibsonSGKing]

No it doesn't.
