Smooth Jazz Guitar by Rudy Helm - latin rock ballad in C Major

This is an improvisational smooth jazz guitar lesson based on a smooth jazz tune recorded by The Smooth Jazz Ensemble. The 'tie-in' of these scenery photos of 'my back yard' is the fact that each time I see them I get misty.

Check back soon for a discussion on scale theory regarding jamming to this tune's chords.

Our vocal version can be heard if you go to http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=krDSxemnIBA

If you would like to purchase the backing tracks for your own practice, please contact Rudy. The tracks have Cliff Lopes on drums, Tom Wider on keyboard, and Rudy plays bass as well as synth overdubs. Obviously, this video shows Rudy improvising a melody and solos against said backing tracks. The backing tracks that you get will not have a melody or solo of any kind. You get to provide them as you practice at home!
