  • Admin

Here I talk about some ideas how to make your improvisation on the tune " Blue Monk " by Monk sound more cool and to fit it to the overall vibe of this cool jazz blues. This includes some explainations how you use the mixolydian mode in specific in a blues setting but also specific in this blues by taking the theme as an inspriation for your jazz guitar improvisation. Also I show you some cool tricks how you can use the mixolydian #11 mode on the Eb7 chord, the diminished arpeggio on the E dim chord and how to move a minor pentatonic motiv all across the fretboard.

Here you can download the files associated to this tutorial :
