In The Jam: Henry Johnson

In this Jazz Expressions edition of In The Jam, Henry Johnson performs both rhythm parts and a soloing parts for all 10 multi-track video jams across a variety of jazz feels, tempos, and keys. On each track, Henry comps a rhythm guitar part from start to finish and then also solos over tracks. Using the player’s controls, you can choose which guitar part you’d like to view. You can also mix, mute or solo any of the video or audio tracks. In this Jazz Expressions edition of In The Jam, we’ll jam together over ten commonly encountered jazz feels and progressions. You can comp for me while I solo, OR I’ll comp for you while you take a solo. For each of my performances, I’ll point out things that I was listening for, my approaches, things that I heard on the tracks, and how I responded to them. Whatever instrument you play … guitar, bass, drums, even vocals…you can mute that part, mix it however you wish, and jump in the jam with me.” You can switch video angles between Henry’s rhythm and soloing performances as well as adjust the volume, mute or solo the parts — you control the mix! Along with all the performance videos, Henry gives you a commentary about his approaches, note choices, scale choices, things he’s listening for and reacting to. All of the rhythm and lead guitar parts are tabbed, notated and synced to the video performance. You can also loop and slow down the videos to work with them at your own pace. Grab your guitar and let’s jam with Henry Johnson!
