Ever have a great idea you want to play, yet when you go to play it, it somehow doesn't come out right? Want to make a better connection between what your ear is hearing and what your hands are doing on the guitar? This course addresses putting the basic building blocks of music into your ears and under your fingers at the same time. Both Melodic and Harmonic hearing and playing will be covered. This system is based on the material taught by Dr. Asher Zlotnik to many great players around the world, and adapted specifically for jazz guitar by Paul Bollenback. Learn the sound, location, uses and construction of all the intervals, scale fragments, triad shape, chromatic approaches and outlines of harmony, ultimately applying the material to improvising on tunes. The classes will be recorded and a link sent after each class for download, so you will be able to review at your leisure, in perpetuity. Intermediate/Advanced players, some music theory knowledge required (intervals, scales, chord construction). 26 PDF files included totaling 55 pages.

About the instructor

Paul Bollenback →
Paul Bollenback is not only a masterful performer, but a down-to-earth instructor. His approach to jazz is both inspiring yet attainable. Guitar master George Benson, a long-time supporter, has described Bollenback’s work as ". . .bona-fide playing, unambiguous, up-front and powerful," calling him “a versatile dynamo on guitar. His approach to jazz and blues has a uniqueness unto itself . . ..”. That comment has special resonance in that Bollenback counts Benson high among his wide range of influences; these also include Carlos Santana, Wes Montgomery, Kenny Burrell, John McLaughlin, Johnny Winter, and Jimi Hendrix (among guitarists), as well as such giants of improvisation and composition as pianists Herbie Hancock and Bill Evans, and saxophonists Wayne Shorter and John Coltrane.
