Lesson 15 - Latin Jazz Style
Lyle: Hi
everyone! It's essential for a guitarist to be able to play several styles of
music. This lesson will teach you a little bit of the Latin Jazz style. Listen
to the lesson sample.
Lyle: It's made from a couple of
chords:
Lyle:
Here's the main rhythm riff made from these chords:
Lyle:
Here's a looping jam track for this progression:
az2: Is there
an easy way to understand if you are strumming up or down based on the riff 1
tab?
Lyle: Yes, watch the video
clip.
Lyle: Does that help?
az2: Yes
for most of it. The midi suggest fingers 1 and 4 for the Am chord, it looks like
you have something else going on in that position, is that
so?
Lyle:
Play the full Am chord, your 4th finger happens to lie on the 4th string. You
don't need to strum all 6 strings.
Lyle: Watch video clip of rhythm 1 and you'll see
me holding down the full Am chord.
Lyle: Here's another rhythm riff, based around
the same chords:
Lyle:
When you have a jam like this in Am but the other chord is E7, you want to use
the A harmonic minor
scale:
Lyle:
The lead riffs in the lesson sample were made from the notes in the A harmonic
minor scale.
Lyle: Here's the first riff from the lesson
sample, you'll play it twice:
Lyle:
Once you repeat that riff, the second riff starts:
Lyle:
The next riff flows through the whole scale:
Lyle:
The last riff of the lesson sample is a fun one:
Lyle:
Each riff was played twice in the lesson sample.
Lyle: Here's another jam track with the rhythm
parts in it:
Lyle:
That's all for this lesson. Next week a different style, maybe
classical.
