Jazz guitar is a cruel mistress. After
spending years learning and adding all of the genre’s theories and
techniques to your arsenal, you’re still left with the challenge of putting
it all together into a cohesive statement when it’s time to step up and solo
or
comp behind a vocalist or soloist. Jazz Combustion offers up a fresh and
insightful approach for comping and
improvising innovative solos.
By using real world examples, Jazz Combustion breaks down higher
improvisational concepts such as chord voice selection, chordal movement,
target tones, chord substitution, motifs, pacing, scat vocal techniques and
outside playing, all while retaining the vibe of the prevailing tune’s
melody and harmonic structure.
 Swedish jazz guitar phenom Andreas Oberg shows you how to effectively tie
these and other key concepts into your playing while guiding you to develop
your own voice. Oberg has performed with and earned the accolades of
such guitar luminaries as Les Paul, Toots Thielemans, Bireli Lagrene, Larry
Coryell and Frank Vignola and many others.
"The goal of this course is to illustrate the way that I look at jazz
improvisation and comping. I have selected five different chord progressions
and styles that are very common
within the jazz repertoire (fast bebop, jazz blues, funk, ballad and jazz
waltz). I’ll first perform over that progression and then break it down for
you, revealing the ideas and concepts behind the performance.”
 Andreas has showcased his unique ability to go from cool, smooth phrases to
an incendiary barrage of well chosen notes and back again through countless
TV and radio appearances as well as regular features in international guitar
publications. Andreas also demonstrates his unique talent for presenting
techniques and concepts, often considered daunting, in a laid-back,
easy-to-comprehend manner.
Using familiar progressions as a foundation, Jazz Combustion takes the
viewer through such higher rhythmic concepts of jazz improvisation as
selecting of appropriate chord voicings when comping; using
chromatic, ascending and
descending chordal movement to direct the tune’s feel; and choosing chord
voicings that share common target tones to lend cohesiveness to
complex progressions.
 Jazz Combustion also delves into such
advanced soloing techniques as incorporating rhythmic and melodic motifs as
a foundation for improvisation, the use of pacing to give your solos an
evocative edge, singing along with your improvisations to encourage
thoughtful note choices as well as the effective
use of chromatic passing tones to link complex harmonic ideas smoothly. Even
while incorporating these higher improvisational concepts, the focus of Jazz
Combustion remains on the tune, with Andreas showing us how the right note
selection can retain the progression’s outline during even the most outside
solo excursions.
Jazz Combustion is an indispensable resource for taking your improvisational
skills to the next level, not only for jazz guitarists, but guitarists from
any discipline where improvisation is the name of the game.
