Unlock the secrets of jazz improvisation on the guitar with this mustwatch video! Whether you're a beginner or an experienced player looking to enhance your skills, these 3 essential exercises will elevate your jazz guitar game to new heights.

In this week's video, I've put together what I think are three essential exercises for improving your sense of melody on the guitar. We'll be using the arpeggios from the major scale in the key of C and linking them together in a variety of different ways.

In exercise one, we'll explore how we can use just the diatonic scale to connect all the different chords in the key. I'll also show you how we can use accents on different parts of the beat to vary our phrasing.

In exercise two, we'll expand on these concepts by incorporating some chromatic notes from Barry Harris' chromatic scale concept. We'll use these to practice resolving to each note of the scale.

Finally, we'll work on another aspect of melodic contour by using descending arpeggios, combined with ascending scale runs AND extra half steps in order to link all the chords in the key together.
