Learn how to play and improvise authentic jazz from an experienced jazz musician.
In jazz, we improvise on the chord of the moment.
Chords inform our note choices and the language we use to make everything sound solid and cohesive.
 To make everything sound, like, well, jazz.

If you want to be able to burn through chord changes, play hot sounding jazz lines, it starts by knowing the important notes of chords. The Chord Tones

.
When you complete the Chord Tone Command course, you will:

– Be confident knowing what the important notes are for any chord to focus on when improvising. 

– Know the notes to any chord by using simple formulas that I teach you. 

– Learn quicker because you will be able learn by way of comparing chord formulas.

– You’ll learn how to practice chord tones and where to properly place them so you can build killer jazz lines around them like the Masters do.

Not only that, you’ll be able to recall chord tones on your instrument and reduce think time and open more necessary mental bandwidth for creativity. 


You’ll never NOT know what to play on any chord on any song you ever encounter from now on.
Chord tones are likely the least talked about, but the most important to cut past all the fluff and just sound good.
 It’s so important for laying down the foundations of jazz improvisation that I made Chord Tone Command the first course at Jazz Mastery Academy.

Learning jazz isn’t rocket science. It’s not about having to learn complicated theory. Yes, you do need to now some basic things, but jazz is not about math. It’s about communicating and having fun doing it.
It’s closer to learning a new language. Especially if you are coming from a rock or blues background, it can seem like there’s an entry barrier. Like it’s a secret club or private fraternity. A secret society.
That’s where I come in!
I want to pull back the curtain and show you the magic. To eliminate the lost feeling you’re having not knowing where to start.
My goal is to bridge the gap between yesteryear’s jazz mentorship (which has all but disappeared) and today’s approach of spending tens of thousands of dollars studying in colleges, universities, and conservatories.
I want to save you precious time and money.
I will show you that with the right nuts and bolts, you can play jazz in an authentic way. Does it take a little bit of work? Of course! But I’ve got you covered there, too.
Each course will be extremely thorough, making sure you advance in a way that is logical and super time-efficient. A lot of the modules in the courses will feature quizzes to help gamify things a little while you’re learning, to make things more fun and interactive. This also makes sure you retain the knowledge you’re learning and that you’re ready for the next module.
I can’t hold your hand the whole way, but you have the option to receive coaching from me if you reach a snag, or want to check in with me to make sure you’re on the right path.
The courses aren’t just for guitar either. The concepts I teach (especially improvisation) will work for any instrument.
a High-Quality course from an experienced pro is your ticket to
“Learn to Burn”
I want you to succeed in finally learning all aspects of jazz, but especially how to sound great improvising!
