Harmony Masterclass
Psychology, Philosophy & Methodology for the Jazz Guitarist - 3
About this masterclass
Jay Umble's third class on the psychological, philosophical, and methodological side of jazz guitar, drawing on his 30 years in the music arena. Rather than the standard masterclass approach (put this finger here, play this chord), this series is a discussion about the artistic side of music, covering topics that are rarely, if ever, discussed.
Topics include
- Balancing energy
- One of the big secrets to improvisation
- Polarity
- Giant Steps
- Go to school without going to school
- Hearing, and expanding your awareness
- Improv substitutions
- The most important thing
For guitarists who want perspective on how to think, listen, and grow as a musician — the kind of class that leaves you thinking "why didn't I know this 20 years ago!"
