This Jazz Learning Path core course is presented by 6 top TrueFire educators: Sheryl Bailey, Tom Wolfe, David Hamburger, Tom Dempsey, Bill Evans, and James Hogan.
The Advanced Lick Vocabulary curriculum is comprised of select Jazz guitar lessons from the educators’ existing TrueFire course libraries.

The vocabulary in this advanced core course is designed to stimulate you creatively and further advance your skills with challenging right and left-hand techniques. Learn these licks as presented and then use the ideas and technical approaches to craft your own vocabulary.
Play Jazz Guitar 9: Advanced Lick Vocabulary is organized into 7 sections, each focused on a particular sub-genre of jazz. You’ll start of with 5 bebop licks from Sheryl Bailey in Section 1. Section 2 features 6 licks paying homage to jazz masters, and Section 3 features 3 soul jazz licks, both presented by Tom Dempsey. Tom Wolfe shares 11 of his favorite hard bop licks in Section 4. David Hamburger’s 13 jazz blues licks are presented in Section 5. Bill Evans and Mike Stern show you how to take a sax licks and make it sing on guitar in Section 6. And finally in Section 7, you will be put to the task of learning 14 jazz rock licks from James Hogan. All in all, these 62 licks will majorly advance and diversify your jazz lick vocabulary.
The educators demonstrate all of the key examples over jam tracks (where and when applicable) to simulate a real-world application, in a musical context. All of the key examples are also tabbed and notated for your practice, reference and study purposes.
You’ll also get Guitar Pro files so that you can play, loop or slow down the tab and notation as you work through the lessons. Plus, you’ll have all of the available jam tracks to work with on your own.

Bebop Licks
Whatever style of jazz improvisation you aspire to master, bebop is an essential rite of passage. In this first section, Sheryl Bailey presents 5 must-know bebop licks along with the technical and harmonic know-how to put them to good use in your improvisations.
TIP! More advanced licks usually have one of two things, if not both that make them more difficult. Speed and number of notes, and harmonic structure.
I find that working on licks helps me isolate these things. If there is a particularly fast section to a lick, break it down into smaller parts and work on those. Make sure that your picking is correct and efficient, make sure your fretting hand fingers stay close to the fingerboard. These little details are usually what make or break a lick.
If the sound of the lick is new or different to your ear, try isolating the notes that are making it sound that way. Then just play those notes over the chord that is being played and listen to what is happening in there. Sometimes if you can just get the "sound" of the lick to sit properly in your ear, it makes the mechanics of actually playing it much easier.

The Coltrane Tonic
The Coltrane Tonic - Lick 48 is a video guitar lesson presented by Sheryl Bailey and is sourced from 50 Essential Bebop Licks You MUST Know.
Besides being a master of the tenor saxaphone, John Coltrane added many new harmonic concepts to the world of jazz improvisation. One of the most important is his exploration of the "3 tonic system" which comes out of his study of the augmented scale through studying "Slomininsky's Thesaurus of Scales." This lick has many harmonic applications, but here we'll use it over a Bbmaj chord. The passing triads create a lot of tension against the chord, but because they are in motion and eventually resolve, it moves the sounds forward. The 3 tonics are: Bb, D and Gb.

Joe Pass
Joe Pass - Lick 37 is a video guitar lesson presented by Sheryl Bailey and is sourced from 50 Essential Bebop Licks You MUST Know.
We can revisit the chromatic below/diatonic above concept by approaching, or embellishing, the chord tones of the Gb diminished arpeggio here with this oft-used symmetrical diminished lick. Joe Pass uses this frequently, but I've also grabbed it from Sonny Stitt, John Coltrane and many other great players.

Burnin' Bernstein Sweep
Burnin' Bernstein Sweep - Lick 40 is a video guitar lesson presented by Sheryl Bailey and is sourced from 50 Essential Bebop Licks You MUST Know.
One of my favorite contemporary guitarists is Peter Bernstein. Here's a shape on a G7+ arpeggio that he uses so tastefully as a sweep.

Stern's Tritone Burn
Stern's Tritone Burn - Lick 29 is a video guitar lesson presented by Sheryl Bailey and is sourced from 50 Essential Bebop Licks You MUST Know.
I grabbed this fun tritone lick from a Mike Stern solo. It is just using the triads of the tritone sub, but is very effective because of the movement through different octaves. Once you have the muscle memory of this down, try it starting from a Db on the 6th string.

Permutate The b9 Shape

Here I've changed up the order of the notes. I recommend that you explore all the possible combinations, they will open up your lines and your ears!
