About this masterclass
Jay Umble shares his approach to soloing over major chords, working from the chord form itself rather than running scales. Using G major 7 as the home base, he maps the chord across five positions of the neck (3rd, 5th, 7th, 10th, and 12th frets) and shows how small "micro" ideas in each position connect into a "macro" picture for whole-neck soloing.
What's covered
- Viewing major 7 chords as interconnected positions rather than isolated shapes
- Subsystems for line-building: fourth intervals, minor 7th intervals, fifths, and compound tenths
- Translating each idea through all five neck positions so it works everywhere
- When to use the natural 4 versus the sharp 4 over a major 7 chord
- A Jaco-inspired bass line concept adapted to guitar
- Chromatic tension and release — moving outside the key center and resolving
If your major-chord soloing feels boxed into one scale shape, this class offers a chord-form visualization method for a more open, spacious, modern sound across the whole fretboard.

I would like to tell you about the lessons that I bought from Jay Mikes masterclasses<br /> Traduzione<br /> The first has been .. Major Linear how to play with class and taste of an agreement apparently static and Jay expertly crosses the Ionic with the Lydian mode with a refined timing.<br /> refined. The second Dominant Linear, even here on the timing of the sentences is the master and it starts to go out for the territories.<br /> The third dominant altered. Here.

A very revealing approach to creating lines all over the fretboard. Playing inside and outside and freeing oneself from the theory of why something works and just making it sound good by resolving, is very liberating. I also think using a chord as an underlying basis for finding your way around seems to bring a more intuitive approach to finding and creating ideas. Thank you Jay.
Jay has some great ideas about creating modern lines over major chords. These concepts sound very modern and fresh, yet they are so connected to the physical layout of the guitar, you wonder how you could have ever missed them. <br /> <br /> Great materials and clear presentation! Thanks!
This video is filled with modern improvisational concepts applied to the major chords. It's then up to the advancing student to start applying these concepts to Melodic/Harmonic minor. <br /> <br /> Jay has the ability to demonstrate these concepts fluently.
Content first rate.<br /> Jay has a good way of communicating the concepts<br /> ....and many of them sound great and fresh to me.<br /> Only reason for 4 stars [vs 5] is that the<br /> video quality is not what we've become accustomed to<br /> with other content providers....notably MMMC....and the lack of built in slow down facility.<br /> Considering the pricing of your [excellent] content<br /> it would be good if the videos could be played on<br /> other formats with slow down feature built in.<br /> VLC works well....for instance.<br /> So....what about considering the cost of the videos?<br /> Love Jay's stuff and would get all of his offering....but....a $ is a $ ...I'm sure you'd get more business to more than make up the difference...&/or<br /> offer a limited time stream for cheaper....What do you think?<br /> The buzz would be greater through the likes of the Jazz Guitar Forum for instance where I rarely if ever see<br /> Mike's Masterclasses discussed.
