Jazz Blues - Part II - Minor Blues

Tony DeCaprio continues his jazz blues series with a master class focused on the minor blues. Building on the ideas from his first blues class, Tony digs into the harmonic details that are often overlooked and shows how to tell your own story over the minor blues form.

What's covered

• How the V7 chord resolves home to the I chord, and the VI7 chord moving into the secondary dominant before the turnaround
• Turnarounds — developing 'line savvy' and a sense of cadence instead of stock licks that only cover the changes superficially
• Building a 'story' in your blues playing rather than relying on mimicry or stringing licks together
• Applying these concepts to the minor blues, in any key, with Tony's hands-on approach

A natural follow-up to Tony's first Jazz Blues class for intermediate players who want their minor blues solos to sound like connected lines, not a chain of licks.
