Soloing Masterclass
The Improv Style of Chet Baker for Guitar
About this masterclass
In this lesson Mike Godette takes 12 different Chet Baker licks and breaks them down, analyzing the intervallic and harmonic devices Chet uses in his single-note soloing. Along the way you'll dig into the different arpeggios he likes to superimpose over different types of chords, and how he uses them to create voice-leading movements within his lines.
What's in the lesson
- 9 major and 3 minor ii–V–I licks, each with its own video explanation
- The melodic and intervallic devices behind Chet Baker's soloing
- The arpeggios he favors over different chord voicings
- The typical voice-leading movements you often hear him outline in his lines
By the end you'll have a much better understanding of how Chet Baker builds a solo, and a set of arpeggio and voice-leading ideas you can put straight into your own playing.
Running time: 50 minutes. PDF of all 12 licks written out included.
