An Advanced Approach to Practicing Jazz Guitar is for musicians who have an advanced
understanding of jazz language and are looking to develop an approach to practicing
which allows for an infinite amount of growth.
It is designed for the numerous jazz musicians who are essentially asking themselves
“What’s next? What’s next after transcribing many solos? What’s next after being able to
play fluently on all of the complicated tunes?”
Many jazz musicians, who are on the more advanced side of their journey, feel their
playing flatline at a certain point. This book is for those musicians. It provides ideas to
help facilitate a practice routine that will always nurture a musician’s growth.

The purpose of this 41 page publication is to provide a comprehensive and exhaustive practice method for those looking to achieve maximum fretboard fluency.
By mastering the material in this book, one can expect to free themselves of any barriers preventing them from expressing different aspects of language due to dead spots on the neck or lack of familiarity with note-to-note interval relations.
Although I strongly suspect that just using the material dictated in this book via a single G Major Scale will open up your fretboard fluency beyond your wildest dreams, applying this practice routine to any other scale that fits on the guitar would also be amazing to practice.
It is my strong belief that; if you’re looking to feel completely unencumbered by the fretboard when improvising, this publication will immensely improve your relationship to the guitar.

The materials presented in this book consist of, among other ideas, various harmonic possibilities that will help any jazz guitarist who is looking to incorporate colors into their language which are more dissonant than those generally heard within the realm of traditional jazz guitar. This book will give you new options, originating from jazz masters such as John Coltrane and McCoy Tyner, for dealing with common harmonic situations within the world of jazz such as a stagnant minor chord or II-V-I.
