Student Reviews: Rhythm Changes - Modern Jazz Guitar Approach - Part I
“Great.. Very great masterclass!”
If you want to learn to play Rhythm Changes and be thorough, you need to buy this class! This is a GREAT class! Tons of examples for comping and soloing. Tom explains everything very clearly and the whole lesson is very easy to follow. And much of the stuff is applicable to other tunes as well. Thank you Tom for these amazing masterclasses! Each one i've bought are just pure gold! So well organized.
<br /> A clear and thorough approach to the basics, plus great illustrations of the subs used on diatonic changes that really show where the 'jazz sound' comes from harmonically. I found the single-note exercises very helpful in applying all the information. Nice work Mr. Lippincott, and thank you! <br /> -Steve Nye
A really complete lesson on the rythm changes. With this class u ll study it from the beginning to the more complex forms and learn great substitution ideas really effective!
Amazing lesson packed with information. I very much appreciate Tom's approach of starting with the basics and using this as a foundation on which to build up to more advanced, modern approach. He has the right balance of explaining and examples (a sign of an excellent teacher). This lesson alone has really helped my playing, and what's incredible is that there is a part II. You cannot go wrong with this class. Highly recommended.
Excellent course on learning a vital set of changes for all Jazz musicians. Tom covers the basic Rhythm Changes both traditional and Jazz, but shows you how to keep evolving with many approaches to using chord substitutions. Tom does the same for improvisation covering fundamentals of arpeggios, guide tones, and classic lines to learn and study. The improv continues to study implying those chord substitutions as well as other scales. This alone is a very complete course on Rhythm Changes, but there is a part two that continues with more source for improv sounds. This class is an excellent way to learn Rhythm Changes getting the necessary foundation and resources for creating your own sound.
Tom is a great player and teacher. There is a ton of information here. Great insights into various approaches to playing over these changes, and Tom provides lots of great line examples with the theoretical foundations for each. Highly recommended! I'm looking forward to checking out his other lessons.
A great intro to the vast matrix possibilities that can be explored over Rhythm Changes. I like Tom's explanations and he's a great player who has certainly done a lot of research on this topic. I look forward to checking out some of his other videos.
