Connecting Your Ears, Mind and Fingers: 2023 Live Sessions [6 Weeks]

Paul Bollenback's 2023 six-week ear training course for jazz guitar — and your purchase includes four full previous sessions of the course as well. The class puts the basic building blocks of music into your ears and under your fingers at the same time, covering both melodic and harmonic hearing and playing. The system is based on the material taught by Dr. Asher Zlotnik to many great players around the world, adapted specifically for jazz guitar by Paul.

What's covered

• The sound, location, uses, and construction of all the intervals
• Scale fragments, semitone fragments, and tetrachords — including the modes of major and melodic minor in tetrachords (with Soundslice notation)
• Triad shapes, sung and identified by ear
• Chromatic approaches and outlines of harmony
• A methodology for improvisation: applying the ear training material to soloing on tunes

All classes were recorded, so you can review every session at your leisure. For intermediate to advanced players; some theory knowledge required (intervals, scales, chord construction). 26 PDF files included, totaling 55 pages, covering the full methodology, graphics, pivots on standards like Autumn Leaves and Days of Wine and Roses, and repertoire lists.
