Book One Page One: Fundamentals Masterclass [Moving Voices] Class Content | Sid Jacobs

If you’ve been playing guitar for years, but still feel a gap in your playing – this might be what you’re looking for.

In “Book One Page One”, Sid Jacobs explores musical fundamentals that seem simple but are powerful. Taking a page from his friend the late great Joe Diorio, “We’re always on Book One, Page One”.

You’ll discover in this Masterclass:

  • Two essential voice leading exercises through the circle of fifths (these seem obvious, but the way Sid does it shows you how to hear and see the changes even clearer)

  • The way you can simplify a song into melody & countermelody (and get out from the grip chord trap)

  • See how Sid takes a single Jimmy Wyble Etude phrase & transforms it into a powerful exercise that makes your contrapuntal playing even better 

  • Great sounding voicings that you can use that incorporate open strings and fretted notes in “Moon River”

  • More applications of fundamental music concepts in the tune “Two for the Road” by Henry Mancini

  • See how Sid adds moving lines to make his arrangement of the Bill Evans tune, Very Early sound more orchestral (he even explains how you can outright steal certain moves that you can use in your own arrangements!)

  • Why and how the song All The Things You Are can be a perfect vehicle to apply Bach like contrapuntal approaches and good voice leading 

  • Secrets to make you can sound more like a contrapuntal pianist rather than a typical chord melody style guitarist

This is really a masterclass that will benefit you for years to come!

The best part of it all is that every time you watch it, you get even more of the subtle details in Sid Jacob’s masterful playing. And, in addition to the video, you also receive 12 pages of Sid’s personal solo guitar arrangements so you can study closely his contrapuntal & harmonic approach.

Ready to allow your guitar playing to level up into an even higher level? Let’s begin now with “Book One Page One”!
