John Scofield - Jazz-Funk Guitar

JOHN SCOFIELD: JAZZ-FUNK GUITAR
2 Volumes | MP4 + PDF Booklet

John Scofield helped redefine modern jazz guitar by blending bebop vocabulary with funk, blues, rock, and a deeply personal improvisational voice. In this complete two-volume instructional series, Scofield breaks down the musical concepts that shaped his unique style, offering a rare look into both his improvisational approach and compositional process.

In Volume I, Scofield explores the foundations of his playing, covering intervallic ideas, string-skipping, chordal concepts, fingerboard visualization, horizontal playing, and techniques for developing your own musical voice. Through demonstrations and musical examples, he explains how to think beyond patterns and approach the guitar with greater freedom and creativity.

Volume II turns to composition, where Scofield analyzes several of his original pieces note-for-note. He reveals the chord voicings, melody lines, and harmonic decisions behind each tune while discussing chromaticism, voice leading, form, contour, pedal tones, contrary motion, and the art of writing memorable jazz compositions.

Included is the original companion PDF booklet featuring transcriptions, notation, and musical examples from the instructional series.

Whether you're looking to expand your improvisational vocabulary, compose more sophisticated music, or gain insight into one of jazz's most original guitarists, this complete collection offers an in-depth look at John Scofield's creative process.
