I retired about 3 years ago and began learning jazz guitar. I still consider myself a beginner and to my ear I sound like a hack, although my teacher tells me I’m making good progress. My biggest challenge is weening my ear off a lifetime of rock n roll rhythm and timing, and toward being able to replicate something closer to jazz phrasing. For me that’s a more daunting task than learning theory. Seems to me that Donna Lee would be a great teaching tool for someone in my situation, assuming that I take it a modest tempo. What do you think? Does Donna Lee work as a teaching vehicle for a beginner or is it better suited for a more experienced player?
