Solo Jazz Guitar Tip of the Day#10 Pay attention to the stuff in the middle. Can you hear the inner movement of the voices that live between the bass and the melody? For me this is where the most exciting sounds can occur in a solo piece. To develop a better appreciation for the stuff in the middle try this. Play a common ii V7 I that you already know. Pluck all the notes of each chord simultaneously, try to sing the line that lives on the string just below the highest note in each chord. Then try to sing the line that lives on the string just above the bass note of each chord. No cheating! Just pluck all the notes together and try to pick out those middle notes. Can you hear it? If so great! If not learn to listen for the stuff in the middle and you will become very happy. By hearing and attending to the middle voices we can elevate the quality of our solo guitar playing. #solojazzguitartipoftheday
