Jazz Guitar Lessons with Chuck Loeb: The 6 Positions
Wed, 03/26/2014 - 2:50pm
One of the most important things in Jazz Guitar is being able to improvise. To pull off a good solo, you need to know which key and scales work with the backing chords. What can be confusing when learning jazz guitar is that there are a variety of patterns and locations to play the same scale. It's important to know the most efficient way of finding the right notes for the desired key from anywhere on the neck as you move around.
The way to do this is to learn the geography of the fretboard and understand how the notes relate to each other - which brings us to what Chuck Loeb refers to throughout his jazz guitar lessons as "The 6 Positions."

Without a background in music theory, the average guitarist often has trouble wading through all scales, modes, and other knowledge that's required for playing jazz guitar. Without access to a good teacher, trying to learn jazz guitar can be an overwhelming and unfulfilling experience.
