RSS FeedFree online Jazz guitar lessons and Jazz theory lessons
Welcome to the Jazz Chameleon. I've created this webpage to make it easier for people who are just starting out in the world of Jazz guitar to make their first steps into this maze. I do not consider myself an advanced player, but having spent the last two years studying Jazz and looking everywhere, from books to web pages, for good coherent Jazz guitar lessons, I decided to create this page to provide something that I did not have when I was starting out; someone to tell me what to learn so I can play Jazz.
Here, you will find lessons about chords and their construction, chord substitution (including the famous tritone substitution), chord changes, scales and modes, arpeggios, the bebop scale, improvisation, soloing and comping ideas and techniques, a Jazz dictionary, solo transcriptions and even transcriptions to Jazz standards with backing tracks so you can start playing today. I hope you enjoy the material, it is my purpose to update and add to this page as often as possible, so keep checking back.
Now you can also find short biographies of Jazz guitarists in the "who's who in Jazz guitar" section, so that you can check out influences or a few recommended albums of your favorite Jazz guitarists.
