Using Big Scales to Unlock the Fretboard (Ep. 77) Jun 13, 2025

Show notes

In this podcast, we'll look into an exercise that is relatively simple in concept, but that can go very deep (as far as helping you become a better improviser). The "big scales" exercise, so-called, deals with the entire range of the instrument. Start low, cover all the notes, climb all the way up. Then come back down! I challenge you to apply some big scales to your own favorite standard progression. See if you can keep playing the "right" scale (and change scales at the appropriate time) while your line keeps ascending/descending in the same direction. This is hard. You've been warned! :-)

What I Learned From Wes Montgomery (Ep. 73) May 23, 2025

Show notes

In this episode, I share three key lessons I learned from transcribing Wes Montgomery: using riffs to build intensity, phrasing with clear rests, and blending blues with bebop ideas. These insights helped me see solos from a bigger-picture perspective. I encourage you to transcribe just a few bars to discover the same depth.

Show notes

If I could go back and give my 20-year-old self advice on playing jazz guitar, this is it. No fluff, just the hard truths I learned over two decades. From overcoming overthinking and perfectionism to the importance of "playing your heart out" and deeply listening, I’m sharing the key lessons that truly matter. This isn't just about notes and scales; it's about the journey that I've experienced, and I want to share them with you.
