CHECK IT OUT: Free Jazz/Fusion guitar lessons from Mike Outram!

Just spotted on Twitter, Mike Outram, has just posted not one not two but twenty-nine short guitar lessons for FREE!

Each lesson comes with audio, transcriptions and analysis of the ideas used:

The Jewel Box Vol.1 is a free, downloadable collection of 29 short guitar lessons, complete with audio, notation, tab and a brief explanation and analysis of the ideas presented along with suggestions for developing the ideas in your own way.

Dive right in and download the whole thing from here for absolutely free by clicking the ‘download’ link on the music player below. All the notation/tab etc., is included in the download.

The lessons range from simple to complex, so for an example of what’s included, here are two of the 29 PDFs included in the download: a simple one [listen] featuring some laid-back, funky comping, and a more complex one [listen] featuring a syncopated, chromatic fusiony solo. And, if you want, all the audio can be previewed in the player below.

Feel free to share it and pass it along. That would make me very happy
