Thanks from Jim Kelly I would like to thank all my family: my parents, Jim and Anne, for helping every step of the way, including buying that first electric guitar; my wife Meg who gave the love, support, and room to develop this music; and my kids, Matt and Kate, for being the great people they are. Thanks to the guys in the band— Jim Odgren, Bob Tamagni, Bob Killoran, and Christian Bausch— for bringing the charts to life. There are so many people at the college I should thank, but I must mention Larry Baione, Rick Peckham, Tony Marvuglio, Matt Marvuglio, Larry Monroe, and Tom Riley, who have helped greatly in getting this material out. Lasdy, I must thank all the students and friends who have helped by working through this material at the college and abroad: I hope you recognize some of it.

Introduction Welcome to Jim Kelly’s Guitar Workshop. For years I’ve written material to use in private lessons, ensembles, and workshops entitled Jazz Rock Improvisation and Jazz Rock Rhythm Guitar. This is a collection of songs and studies that I use in the classroom and in concert, for the student as well as thè working professional. This is not a method book as such, nor is it aimed at a specific level of experience. It need not be studied in sequence. Some parts will be very difficult for a beginner, and some parts easy for the more advanced player. This is resource material to play with friends, teachers, students, or the enclosed CD. Many of these songs I play on gigs because the arrangements are simple enough to learn quickly with a band and there’s room to “ stretch” and solo. The studies are designed to develop different skills and to build musical and technical vocabulary. The CD falls somewhere between a “record” and a “play-along.” The band and I wanted the music to be as alive as possible to keep the sound real while preserving the option of removing the guitar later. You will notice some leakage of the guitar track when it is removed, especially with the acoustic bass. We recorded live in the studio and got as much isolation as we could while keeping a natural feel. Any flaws contained in the performances were left as a matter of “ close enough for now.” Strive for perfection, but in the meantime, play the best you can. I hope you enjoy this material and find it as useful as I have. Jim

In Head: twice Guitar Solo: 4 choruses O u t Head: twice

This is a 12-bar blues in A minor. The title is a dedication to Kenny Burrell, one of the great jazz guitarists. Kenny can easily play over more difficult chord progressions, but he has a good “ down home” feel when it comes to playing the blues. Many blues-based guitarists, such as the late Stevie Ray Vaughan, have an affinity for Kenny because of this feel. Kenny was probably the first guy I heard playing a “head” (a melody line) of single notes mixed in with chord “ comping” (accompanying). This gives a good alternative to playing just single note lines and can fill out the sound, especially in a keyboardless group. Check out how some other players do this (for example, Wes Montgomery, Jim Hall, and John Scofield). I tried to keep the recorded solo on the CD sparse, not overcrowding the groove with too many notes. Kenny is great at this. I suggest, when playing the head, not to get too heavy on the chords. Think of the single-note line as the part to draw out and the chords as backup. Try sliding into some of the chord voicings as well as the melody notes. Usually this isn’t written in, but you’ll hear it when you listen.

In Head: once Guitar Solo: 3 choruses

I liis song has what is generally described as a Latin groove. To jazz musicians, this means not swing or triplet-based, but even eighth notes derived from Brazilian, Cuban, Spanish, Caribbean, or other music, often coming from South America. Latin traditionally was also a way to describe a rock groove since many rock songs contain even eighths.

O ut Head: once

The melody is primarily two-note voicings or “ double stops.” The term “ double stops,” I behove, comes from violin and cello music, when you hold down two notes. Since there are no frets, it is not called fretting, and you need at least three notes to give a chord name. The.melody is harmonized mostly in intervals of 6tlis and 3rds, with an occasional 4th or 5th. On the recording I didn’t use a pick, but 1 often play with the pick and use my middle finger to grab the top note (the higher note). This kind of harmony is also often found in country music and is a good alternative to single-note lines, especially when using a clean tone. listen for slides in and out of voicings. 1 was tempted to write them in, but I think it is better to learn the melody and add the slides after, where they seem to fit. The rhythm guitar track was added later. I am using standard bar chords to keep the voicings simple. Listen to die track for some ideas. Work on rhythms that complement die feel. Mainly try (o lock in with the groove.

Etta A u d io C D Tracks

Play-along

16 (no lead guitar) 17 (no rhythm guitar)

In Head: once Guitar Solo: 2 choruses O ut Head: once

“Etta” is an 8-bar r&b tune that has a very vocal feel to it. Even though it was written as an instrumental, you can easily hear lyrics sung to this groove. Etta James, a great rhythm and blues singer, really shines at this groove and tempo. The harmony consists of only two chords, A (major) to B-7 (I to II—7). These are the first and second chords in the key of A. For soloing, the whole A major scale would fit, but the emphasis is on the A major pentatonic.

Major pentatonics consist of the 1st, 2nd, 3rd, 5th, and 6th degrees of the major scale, so A major pentatonic contains the notes A, B, C#, E, and F#. For example, check out the melody to the tune; all the notes fall in this scale. To help clear up something that is often confusing, I’d like to point out that F# minor pentatonic has the same notes as A major pentatonic. The intervals for a minor pentatonic are 1, b3, 4, 5, and b7. What often happens is if someone says “A pentatonic,” they really mean A minor pentatonic (C major pentatonic = A minor pentatonic). Back to the groove, this has a real shuffle feel to it, a triplet feel. Swing also has a triplet feel to it, but shuffle has a stronger accent than swing on the 2nd and 4th beats (or “2 and 4,” also called a backbeat). The rhythm has a muted attack on the 2nd beat. In this particular piece, I strum with a down stroke and mute with the side of my picking hand at the same time. This creates an accent with no chord sound. Muting is a very important technique, and both hands are used for it in different situations. It’s a good thing to experiment with. When playing the head and soloing, try to keep this vocal feel. Using slides, bends, hammers, and so on helps with this. A few of the players who are great with this feel are Freddie King, Carlos Santana, and Jeff Beck. On this session I chose to use a clean tone, but feel free to crank up the gain and dig in.

I wrote this study to concentrate primarily on the picking hand, or the “right hand,” as it is often called, even if you aren’t right-handed. Given the choice, I generally don’t pick every note, as when soloing in blues or jazz. Other articulations such as slides and hammers feel to me like an important part of this phrasing. On the other hand, I wanted to keep a certain degree of accuracy in picking, something I’ve always had to work on. Every note is played twice in this study, and the only logical choice is alternating down and up strokes. Cello and violin etudes (studies) often have this repeated-note writing to help develop bowing technique, I believe. When I speak of studies developed for myself, they are often developed simultaneously for students because I generally hope that if it is something I find valuable, students will as well. Truthfully, I still think it’s hard to get all the way through without messing up. I didn’t intend it as a performance piece originally, but my sincere congratulations if you make it all the way without a snag. One last word of advice: if you have trouble making the string skips, try resting the fingers of your picking hand lightly on the pick guard. This can act as a pivot. Traditionally speaking, this was often considered incorrect, but as long as it doesn’t cause tension in the hand, it can improve accuracy for some players.

In Head: once Guitar Solo: 2 choruses O u t Head: once

This is an exercise written over a standard jazz progression. It is not intended to be a melody or “head.” It is intended to sound like a transcribed jazz guitar solo. In many ways, trying to play a written solo differs from improvising. When you truly improvise, the line takes shape as the moment occurs and you draw from all the vocabulary and skills you have developed up to that moment, which doesn’t mean it all comes out as you would like. A benefit of listening to and studying other players’ solos is to build technique and vocabulary and to experience the feel of the line and the articulation. Much of the articulation is similar to the kind pioneered by players like Wes Montgomery and Jim Hall. Instead of picking each note, pick some (and not others) for a more legato feel. This type of playing includes many slides, hammer-ons, and pull-offs, which make a smoother line and better approximate the articulation of the saxophone, for example.

Some guitarists who have greatly influenced this study are Pat Metheny, John Scofield, and Mick Goodrick. They all use similar phrasing to one degree or another, and yet they still have very personal styles. One tendency is to pick accented notes and to follow with an “unpicked” note when possible. The way to best learn this is similar to the way players learn rock and blues: understanding what works best in certain situations, for certain phrases. One key difference is that a more involved understanding of harmony and playing over the form is required in jazz. Pay close attention to the phrasing, and play it at different tempos. I play it twice on the CD, at the beginning and at the end. Excusing the raggedness, I hope it gives you some ideas of how to articulate at a fast tempo.

Intro: 8 bars In Head: twice Sax Solo: 4 choruses Guitar Solo: 5 choruses O ut Head: twice

This tune is a dedication to Mike Stem, who is equally exceptional at bebop and funk-fusion styles. It has a 16-bar form and a half-time swingfunk groove (I’ve heard it called “swunk” ). It’s felt more in 2: that is, the half note gets the pulse. C minor is the overall sound. Start from there, and add anything you can in the way of scales and arpeggios to the chords, but try to keep it grooving. On the melody, strive for a blend with the sax, and you may notice that I occasionally throw in a chord voicing in the 8th measure, a G7#9. The first 12 bars of the melody are not too difficult. The last bars are the workout. This is the “ Stern” section, the stuff that Mike can fire out with ease. For myself, this kind of line is difficult and takes much practice. Work on this section slowly until you can play with the recording. Meanwhile, groove out over the solo section. Hey, try it with some friends.

In Head: twice Sax Solo: 4 choruses Guitar Solo: 4 choruses O u t Head: twice

When Stevie Ray Vaughan hit in the early 80s it was refreshing to me to hear some one with such great blues and rock roots shaking things up for a new generation, and so this was written in dedication to him. Not being a vocalist also got me into writing instrumental music, so having a blues melody gives a beginning and an end to a jam, and what happens in between is up to you and the rest of the band. Check out the chord comping behind the sax solo. It’s a mix of traditional blues guitar and stuff borrowed from other places (piano, horn sections, etc.).

This is the last tune to solo over in this book, and a fun one to play. It’s a good old 12-bar shuffle blues in A. This is a typical key for blues guitar, but not so in jazz. Most jazz blues are in F, Bb, etc., “ flat” keys. So although to a guitarist A may be typical, to a horn player it isn’t. Unless the horn player has worked a lot with r&b groups, as has Jim Odgren. I grew up listening to Mike Bloomfield, Albert, BB and Freddie King, Eric Clapton, and so on. Most of the rock music at that time was blues-based. I think a lot of contemporary jazz guitar is a mix of jazz and this era of rock and blues, a hybrid of the sound and feel.

So listen to some blues and try and build your solos. Dynamics and pacing are a few things that blues players study hard, things that are equally valuable in jazz. Work on changing your pick attack for different sounds and styles (this holds true for soloing and rhythm playing), and try not getting to frustrated when you don’t like the sound. Change is gradual, but it comes through repeated listening and practice.

12 (no guitar)

As the title implies, this is a rhythm guitar study. It is a good groove to work on and relies a lot on the use of string muting. The single note lines are strummed — that is, they are treated like chords.- This is accomplished by muting strings with your fretting hand (“left” hand). Blocking the sound of the surrounding strings allows you to get more aggressive with the strumming and helps in creating the groove. This is common in funk stuff as well as with players like Jimi Hendrix. Work on the muting and the feel, it will probably be stiff at first, but after you play it a while it will loosen up. A good exercise for this style of muting is to hold down one note, say D on the 5th fret of the A string with your first finger. Now strum with the pick, but get only the one note. Use the side of this finger, slightly arched to block the other strings. Be sure to experiment with the angle to get the right results. Next try holding notes on other strings, for instance A on the 7th fret of the D string, and figure a way to mute the surrounding strings while strumming. All this sounds more complicated than it is, but believe me you will find many uses for this technique. Remember in your pursuit of guitar skills to spend a fair amount of time with rhythm playing; it can often be the thing that will open up other doors for you.

T a b l a t u r e and F i n g e r i n g s In this section, you will find several different styles of guitar-specific notation. Tablature is included as a guide to those who find it helpful, not as an alternative to learning to read on the guitar. In my estimation, guitar is die hardest instrument to read on, largely because of all the alternate note positions and fingering choices. Many choices are determined by the style and the tempo of the music, and it is often up to the player to find something that works. Surrounding the written music you will find numbers in circles as string references, ® being the high E. Fingers are numbered without circles, and Roman numerals indicate position, adding up to what most likely looks like too much information. In a one-on-one situation, I prefer to hand out music with few indications and discuss the possibilities. The indications in this section are basically how I am fingering and positioning things, something I still experiment with. These are meant as guidelines. Feel free to change some if you like; just make sure it will work. In many cases, there are choices that work as well and possibly better, but be sure the alternative is solid. This kind of research is an important part of development and will help your playing and reading. I suggest that when you play with the CD or a group, you use the lead sheets at the front of the book. They are much cleaner visually and more like a part you would be handed and asked to play.
