 New Member in Chattanooga, Tennessee I stumbled on this forum last week, and I'm really enjoying it. My jazz guitar history in a nutshell follows. I wore out 3 jazz guitar instructors in the mid-seventies with my impressive lack of intuition coupled with lack of industry. Now I've returned to an attempt to learn some jazz guitar 35 years later. My goal is to speak the language and communicate in a basic way, with no expectations of becoming a poet or a novelist. What has made this project possible has been the evolution of online resources, allowing me to learn in fits and starts: some time spent with JBGI, currently Andreas Oberg. Throw in more books than I could ever possibly digest and some private lessons locally. Two years into this project, there's been definite progress. I doubt my hodgepodge approach is the most efficient, but perhaps it's the best I can do with an aging brain! It keeps me off the streets.     |

| Welcome to the forums! Congrats on your lack of industry. That matters not, you are here now. Like you said there are many online resources available now. Try taking little bites a long way rather than big bites, then to the toilet to purge. You will digest the info better and perhaps even be able to use some of it. There are many free resources, including here, that you should avail yourself of. In my signature is the link to Matt Warnok's site. There are over 100 free lessons as well as tons and tons of scales, modes chords, in his "jazz resource" link in the site. You could spend months in there. Good luck!

| Hi Bruce, I'm from Chattanooga as well. I'm 55 yrs old and been playing a long time. I'm getting back into playing after a long layoff, and this is a great place to bounce stuff around. I've only been here a short time but I've gotten a great vibe from the threads and posts, A lot of passionate players here. As an aside I would like to thank the members for their contributions, maybe I can throw in a few tidbits here and there. |
