The Chromatic Line Game
Join Paul for his first Mike's Master Class where he will impart his concepts and experience using Chromatic leading tones in upper voices in chords as a means to generate motion in comping and soloing. The Chromatic Line Game makes use of a chromatically ascending or descending upper voice as a means for generating direction in comping, new chord voicings, or as a basis for constructing a single line solo. Examples start with simple ii-V-I-vi and progress to a practical application to familiar tunes.

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.
