Here’s a great jazz guitar lesson covering how to solo over a II-V-I progression.
In this video they take you through playing the progression, and then explain the theory behind the notes. This is important because it teaches you how to solo over chords, so next time you’re in a solo situation, you’ll be able to improvise more confidently.
Jazz Guitar Licks – Part 1
www.jazzguitarlessons.net presents… Here’s how to get more material into your playing without having to memorize lick after lick… The three jazz guitar licks in this video constitute a basis for the vast majority of jazz lines in history. They’re the foundation to most of the music … from Bach to Tom Harrell (no kidding!) Learn those easy II-VI licks so you can create thousands of your own and make sense out of your favorite jazz licks and solos on recordings. Also, make sure you check out Connecting Chords with Linear Harmony here www.jazzguitarlessons.net This is, in my humble opinion, the quickest way to learn and understand the language of jazz… word by word! See you on www.JazzGuitarLessons.net Thanks for watching.

@toobored02 Thanks!
I love jazz guitar but I must admit it is quite intimidating. This video probably broke down jazz lines better than anything else I’ve seen into an easily digestible explanation that lets you put this info into use immediately. Thank you!
@MrMusicgenius My pleasure. I’m glad you liked it.
Thanks for sharing us your knowledge.
@NoKeTri Thanks!

@owen9586 Thank you! (wow, is it really 7:32? I never noticed!)
I’m glad I stayed for the 7 minutes, excellent video!
@themoyadude Hello. Start with going on the website (JazzGuitarLessons . net) and get as much info from the “Start Here” page. There is also the “Practice Blog”. If you have any specific question after reading, please go to the “Your Questions” page.
I hope this helps, Marc-A.
i dont get any of this.. help me. i dont know what chords your talking about. im having a hard time
@b5b9 Hey thanks Bill! To reassure you : it took ME far more than six months and books to figure this out (let alone find a way to share it with the world!!!) Practice well. -M-A
Wonderful lesson. It took me six months of hard work and many expensive lesson books to figure out what you have explained here in just seven minutes and thirty-two seconds. You’ve got a fan for life……………or, at least the near future.
Cheers, Bill

It’s just the guitar through a fender…
Blues Junior (tubes…)
I guess the microphone gets the amps and the “room” sound.
Thanks for watching!
This is good!
Do you have some special magnet on guitar or just regular? Sound very acoustic, I have Ibanez artcore, but it doesn’t sound like that.
By the way I also have some jazz guitar examples on my channnel, check it out if you want. 🙂
Thank you for watching.
Thanks a lot.
It sure helps!

My pleasure. I like your nick/username. It’s my credo.
finally someone who starts from the BEGINNING! Jazz has been so confusing to me because there is no “smoke on the water” per se. It’s all advanced, and there doesn’t seem to be a gradual build up at all. thanks for your efforts!
Good Job.
Thanks a lot.
I’ve played guitar for more than thirty years and have focused on straight ahead jazz for the last 15 or so. All that time I’ve absorbed bits and pieces of musical knowledge from method books, lick guides and transcriptions as well as from the experience gained playing with others. No resource that I’ve encountered offers the degree of fundamental understanding that one…
