About this masterclass
Sheryl Bailey answers student questions in this live Q&A session from February 2018, covering ear training, bebop scales, and whatever attendees brought to the table — her teaching philosophy being that those who ask the most questions get the most answers. This session is free for members.
From the session
- An opening solo performance of the Jobim tune "O Grande Amor", which Sheryl learned from Gene Bertoncini
- Ear training advice for beginning jazz guitarists: hearing intervals, chord qualities, and cadences
- A practical singing exercise — singing the roots, thirds, and sevenths of a Bb blues to internalize the structure of the changes
- Why thirds and sevenths are the real changes, and how hearing them becomes your compass while improvising
- Bebop scales and their relation to the downbeat, answered for a longtime student
"Bailey combines an astonishing command of the fingerboard with a seemingly endless flow of melodic invention." — Joe Taylor, Soundstage
An informal, conversational session for players at any level. Read Sheryl Bailey's full bio for more on her background.
