Practicing Blues/Jody Fisher

In: Video

10 Sep 2008

Lately I have been practicing different ways to play over a jazz blues.  One of my favorite ways lately I got from Matt Warnock via Fred Hersch.  Check out Matt’s web for more info.

What are your favorite ways to practice playing over a blues?

Here is a video of one of our National Guitar Workshop teachers, Jody Fisher.

    Thanks Tony.

    I just got an email from Jody. Such a great player. I would encourage you to check out our community website at http://guitarworkshopcommunity.com. Let me know what you think.
  • Cool, The National Guitar workshop changed my life. I loved it so much that I even spent part of my inheritance going there. I also interned there for 4 years and studied with Jody...

    The only thing I do for blues playing is transcribe and then take the licks and then improvise variations on them.

    I only transcribe the most swinging players:

    Wes Montgomery
    George Benson
    Grant Green
    Emily Remler
    Pat Martino

    Where can I hear your playing...
