August 10, 2024Your Own Voice + Stella by Starlight Analysis (Ep. 06)
When a sculptor creates his art piece, they start with a simple block. At the start, it doesn't seem special but when chisel away the pieces and refines the details, it does become a very special work of art. In this important podcast, we'll talk about the most crucial element for any jazz artist: finding your own voice, which can take a process similar to creating a sculpture -- starting with a foundation and finding your form through patience and persistence; and then we proceed to a short and sweet harmonic analysis of the great standard "Stella by Starlight." Enjoy!

December 04, 2019 Podcast #44 - Chord Synonyms
https://www.jazzguitarlessons.net/blog/podcast-44-chord-synonyms
A powerful tool that doesn't get mentioned enough is chord synonyms - chords with enough similar notes that they can be used interchangeably.
It can be overwhelming to learn all your inversions for every chord type in every key, etc.
Using synonyms is a quick way to expand your chord arsenal without having to learn any new voicings!
In this podcast we'll discuss 3 chord synonyms that you can use right away for comping on standards, using chord shapes you already know 👍

October 23, 2019 Podcast #43 - Turnarounds, I-VI-II-V and Tadd Dameron Chords
https://www.jazzguitarlessons.net/blog/podcast-43-turnarounds
Turnarounds! No, this isn't your GPS speaking - it's real jazz lingo 😉They're the chord progressions you can use to get from the end of the tune all the way back to the top.
In this podcast, I'll be discussing the most common turnaround (I-VI-II-V), and how you can make it more hip using tritone substitution and shifting chord qualities (à la Tadd Dameron).
