Absolutely! But make sure it aligns with what you want for your jazz playing. This is a practice program that focuses on fundamental elements of mastering jazz blues material. If you are already happy with your jazz blues playing, this course is not for you. If you are looking for a new jazz theory magic trick, this course is not for you. If you understand the value of improving your blues playing and doing so through a formualic plan, you’re going to love it.

Technically, you do not. However, you would be at an advantage if you do. While I do encourage you to learn material by ear, and provide recordings for everything, I also have everything notated in the Exercise Book to make things easy and to be there if you need help.

Unfortunately, no tabs are provided for guitar players. If you don’t read notation, you can still do the course by ear as I provide recordings for everything, but you will be at a disadvantage. Keep in mind there is a lot of transposition done in this course into different keys.

How quickly you move through it is mostly up to how much time you can invest, and your current experience level. You will have lifetime access and can start and stop anytime. However, I do suggest that if you take this course you should commit to some level of consistency.

Students who consistently practice for at least 3-4 hours a week can complete it in 2-3 months. Shorter than it would take to complete a college course.

Keep in mind, you will get lifetime access and there is no start or end date. You can take this course at your own pace. I don’t recommend a specific amount of required hours, but I find that those that can commit to at least of 3-4 hours a week have the most success. It’s more important to be consistent than practice long hours.

Yes, very good for it! This course is all about improv though, so don’t expect there to be lessons on walking bass lines, especially since this is a course geared towards all melodic instruments.

A vocalist’s instrument is the voice, so yes it can be good for vocalists. But please note that while there are recordings provided for everything, it can be very helpful to read music, therefore having a secondary instrument like piano could be an advantage. It’s also important to note that etudes and exercises are composed with other melodic instruments in mind.

Many other jazz and blues courses are simply a library of content, or a lot of ideas thrown at you with little process. If you want that you can just go to my podcast or YouTube channel.

My super power is leading students from point A to point B. This course is an actual program and process. These are the things that have gotten huge results for me and my students time and time again.

We will book your coaching call within the first 1-3 weeks after your course enrollment. It must be booked within the first month unless the instructor is unable to do so. I want to assess your skills right away and help you get set up for success.

It really doesn’t. It would literally cost you over $1,600 to have me walk you through this process in person, forget about the bonuses which easily brings you over the $2,000 mark.

This course is a small fraction of that, or even that of a college course which often is also just a bunch of content and not process (trust me, I have a degree in Jazz Performance).

Also you need to have skin in the game to grow. Trust me, it works every time.

The 3 Pillars are:

1. Blues language
2. Playing the changes
3. Bebop language

In the course, we focus on etudes that embody this language during each module so you can start internalizing it.

Absolutely, this course isn’t for everyone. First and foremost, if you are not willing or don’t have the time to practice, this course is not for you. If you are someone who already feels great about your jazz practicing and feels good about your progress, you may not need the help of this course. If you consider yourself an advanced jazz player, this course could still be great for you, but if you feel like you already practice the core material on a regular basis, you might want to pass up on it. Be sure to read up on the main course goals, and make sure it’s a fit for you.

Absolutely, you have lifetime access to the course and can login and start at any time. However, if you wish to order the VIP package, wait until you have time. I only book coaching calls within the first 1-3 weeks after enrollment.

I’ll be sending you detailed instructions in an email, so no need to worry! But you will log in to your account at learnjazzstandards.com and find your course access there.
