Song Pack Volume 3
Add Three Must-Know Standards to Your Set List!
Three Jazz Essentials: Taught Through the Masters Who Defined Them!
Build Your Core Repertoire with Three Timeless Jazz Standards
Course Description
Three essential standards that belong in every jazz guitarist’s repertoire, each one teaching you something different about jazz composition and improvisation.
Song Pack Volume 3 takes you deep into:
- My Funny Valentine
- Solar
- How High The Moon
… giving you the harmonic understanding, melodic vocabulary, and improvisational tools these classics demand.
My Funny Valentine shows you the art of the jazz ballad through Jim Hall’s masterful approach. You’ll learn to play with sensitivity and taste, focusing on melody, voice leading, and the power of space. Hall’s playing proves that sometimes what you don’t play matters just as much as what you do.
Solar unlocks Miles Davis’s elegant minor blues with chord tone melodies that outline the changes naturally, comping patterns that support without cluttering, and modal concepts that keep your solos fresh chorus after chorus.
How High The Moon gives you command of this uptempo standard and its famous harmonic structure, the same changes Charlie Parker used for his composition Ornithology. You’ll develop the connecting phrases, chromatic approaches, and rhythmic vocabulary that make jazz lines flow effortlessly over fast-moving chord progressions.
Each song includes detailed transcriptions and analysis, broken down note-by-note so you understand not just what to play, but why it works and how to apply these concepts to your own solos.
This is where jazz guitar vocabulary really lives. Learn it authentically, play it with confidence, and make these standards your own.
