If you're asked to play an Eb major scale, can you do it, fluently, and without hesitation?
If you're asked to play a Gb Melodic minor scale, can you do it, fluently?
If you're asked to play an F7#5#9 chord, can you do it? Can you play two forms of this chord?
If you're asked to play an Cm11 chord, do you know it?
If you're asked to play over a basic progression of Bbm7, Cm7b5, F7#5, do you know what scale(s) to use?

If the answer to some of these question is ''NO'', this course is for you.
If the answers are YES, then check out Talking Jazz Guitar and Blues Forms for Jazz Guitar

After a lifetime playing as a self-taught beginner, a hobbyist, this can be a good opportunity to evolve in an organized way with a well-defined method and objectives! It's never too late...!
