Complete with Video Memos and Band-in-a-Box files, this package has everything you need to learn to play great Jazz Guitar comping phrases in the style of Freddy Green and other comping masters. Each phrase includes a video memo with award winning Jazz Guitarist, Oliver Gannon. Watch these videos over and over as Oliver describes and shows you exactly how he is playing each phrase. It's like having your guitar teacher always on-call. Band-in-a-Box files each include a song memo describing the phrase and since they are Band-in-a-Box files, you can open the Notation window to view the chord symbols, notation and guitar tablature, adjust the tempo to match your skill level and quickly change the key signature to learn the phrases in all twelve keys. Open the Guitar Fretboard window to see exactly how the phrases are being played. These files were recorded with a MIDI Guitar controller so the displayed fingerings on the Guitar Fretboard window will be exactly how they were originally played.

The Windows version of this program can be used either as a stand-alone program featuring notation and video, or it can be used in conjunction with Band-in-a-Box. The Mac version requires Band-in-a-Box (version 12 or later) for full functionality - there is no stand-alone application.

Memo: This begins on the Fm7 chord, and goes to Bbm7, Eb7, and back to the I. A bass line is added to connect the chords together by playing a Fm7, going to a Gm7 and to an Ab6. Then connect to the Bbm7 by using an Adim chord, followed by a Bbm7, Cm7, Bbm7, and moving chromatically into the Eb7, to Db6, Cm7, Bbm7 and Ab6. Complete the phrase by playing Bbm7, Bdim and Ab6.

Memo: This phrase is in a 3/4 tempo. With any of these comping phrases you can use a pick and your fingers, or you can just use the pick.
