March 01, 2012 Podcast #9 - Personal Development + Scale Positions
Becoming a better person is key in developing your jazz guitar skills. The more we grow as human beings, the more we learn about life and music. That's why this podcast focuses on personal development. And, as a second topic, we'll talk a little bit about scale positions.

January 01, 2012 Podcast #7 - Practice Time + The Shadow of Your Smile Analysis
Finding the time to practice is often described as the #1 hurdle for up-and-coming jazz guitarists. If you're having difficulties getting enough time in the practice room, then this podcast is for you. And, as a second top, we'll analyze the chord progression to the song "The Shadow of Your Smile".

December 01, 2011 Podcast #6 - The Form + Minor II-V-I
Respecting the form (of the song) is what guides our jazz improvisations; it's the vehicle. In fact, not following the form properly is one of the main culprits for "not being quite there" for lots of improvisers. And we'll discuss just that, at great lengths, during this podcast. We'll also discuss the minor II-V-I cadence in the second half of this podcast.

November 01, 2011 Podcast #5 - Chord Vamp Solos + Bebop
A discussion on how to improvise during those rather "static" chord vamps. And the second topic has also been a very "in demand" one recently: bebop. How? Why? ... and who? I believe that every jazz guitarist should be a well versed bebop player.

October 01, 2011 Podcast #4 - Adding Chromaticism to Your Lines
The most awaited podcast topic of all: chromaticism! Jazz guitarists are always curious about jazz lines with a chromatic flow. How can we achieve such a technical level of "out playing" while still remain true to the chord changes? Listen to this podcast for M-A's best advice on the topic!
