Jazz Blues

Tony DeCaprio teaches a master class on jazz blues, focusing on elements of blues playing that are often overlooked and sparsely taught. Rather than stringing together stock licks, Tony shows how to build real lines and tell your own story within the blues, in any key.

What's covered

• The V7 chord resolving home to the I7 chord
• The VI7 chord moving into the secondary dominant before the turnaround
• Turnarounds — developing 'line savvy' and a real sense of cadence instead of superficial stock licks
• Building a 'story' in your blues playing rather than relying on mimicry or chained-together licks
• Applying these ideas in any key, with Tony's hands-on approach

This class suits players who already know the basic blues form and want their jazz blues playing to sound less like a lick collection and more like a personal statement.
