Multi-language support using YouTube auto-translation is being added.

The first course is the Jazz Guitar Improvisation Workout; all videos also provide auto-translation.

Other courses will follow.

See how this works:

Paypal is currently not a standard payment method, but if you want to use it anyway, please send a message to Matt in a chat or an email to mattottenjazz@gmail.com; it can be set up for you quite easily.

Notation has been added to each of the 4 main tunes' solos, besides the fretboard videos.

The main guide of this course has been updated with some additional explanations, and minor corrections.

In the course Blues Forms for Jazz Guitar, notation has been added for all of the solo examples.

See example below

A cool new course has been released, called Playing with Loops.

Read all about it here:

Playing With Loops

Because of the discontinuation of the video search feature by Podia, a video index is added to lesson pages, to help navigate through videos.

This update is now being implemented and will be finished in the coming weeks. In the mean time you will find the index on some pages, until all pages have been updated.

See example below.

Podia has switched to a different video player.

Unfortunately the feature that allowed navigating through videos by searching through the subtitles is no longer supported by this player :(

Hi Matt,

I'm excited to join your community. I'm an older beginner/intermediate learner. I know my basic scales and chords. Have a good knowledge of the CAGED system. I would love to learn how to play/improvise using Smooth Jazz technics. Where would you advise me to start? Thanks, Jerry

Hi, I am new to the site. The content of the courses is intriguing. However, it appears I can only pay for a course via pay pal? I do not see an option for credit card. Please help. Thank you. Carla Clark
