solar

the solo is great and guiding through the solo is a nice bonus thank you

Another spectacular lesson!

I’ve been a fan of Randy Johnston for decades. How can you go wrong by listening to this master guitarist explain his thought process for developing lines? You can’t! His discography speaks for itself! The video is right to the point, and covers all the elements of putting a solo together! I love this platform! Adrian L

This incredible lesson should be called the Secret of Jazz Soloing!!

I probably have encountered at least 1000 lessons on the Internet and otherwise, and this is the best one ever. This is the real deal.!!!! I am applying this lesson to all the songs that I am working on and having fantastic results! Thank you so much for having the insight and sharing this incredible key to single line soloing!! Hi Randy, please finish the Confirmation lesson B Section And depending on what you think, how about doing a similar lesson on 5ths and 7ts, and roots, etc etc Bob B

C minor blues - solo and techniques

Excellent lesson! Clearly presented and explained. Warren

Not just how but when.

This is really working for me. Randy nails it down so that the techniques can be applied and replicated.

Mastering fast moving changes

Randy hits another one outta da park. I never miss an opportunity to learn from this master. Teaches with a conversational style. Check out Randy's Confirmation solo on the recording "Remembering Eddie Jefferson." Among other elements touched on in this lesson, the first two notes illustrate his "one can eliminate the ii chord" perfectly. So musical. Simply great, lyrical bebop.

Mastering fast moving changes

As always Randy is very clear and concise in his lessons. The material is logically presented and demonstrated.

Great course

Just what I needed as I'm playing this with my band. Many thanks for your insights Randy!

Very cool!

Didn't see any reviews for this one so I just wanted to say thanks! This is a great short course, and this is a very cool technique that has many applications.

Randy Johnson Q&A

Outstanding. Randy held nothing back, there were no trade secrets he did not divulge. The questions were good, and so were the answers. I have watched so many online guitar lessons now that it's scary. This was up at the top of the heap. I love the fact that he really did not know what CAGED is, because I've had some rather acrimonious arguments online about CAGED. I don't really use CAGED, but CAGED is analytic or tautological, it's purely descriptive and must be true or correct, there cannot be anything wrong with it, so if a player visualizes well using CAGED, great. Obviously, one does not have to use it to become a great player. If you don't like to use a mechanical stringwinder, don't use it, it's optional.

Rhythm Changes Part II

Great lesson -- Lots of ideas to play on Rhythm Changes

Excellent

Thank you Randy! Can’t wait for the follow ups.

Really helpful lesson. Thanks Randy! I will work on the chord melody and soloing with the suggested scale choices.

Blues for the New Millennium | by Randy Johnston

Great course Randy. Thanks!

Another Home Run

Anything Randy Johnston teaches is always good. This one breaks down some specific elements of double time playing that I find very useful. I like the way Randy teaches...organized, logical, and clearly explained and demonstrated. Can't wait for his next video!

Tetrachord Scales-Part 1-Randy Johnston

Always loved Randy's playing-this is my first exposure to his teaching. Have to say, his approach makes jazz guitar a whole lot simpler and much more logical-not necessary to learn endless fingering patterns. This system allows you to actually play much more melodically, which is really what it's all about!

Great overview

Nice overview of the various blues changes and some ideas on how to solo over them. Very informative!
