Welcome Wolf Marshall

Welcome to another live broadcast from TrueFire Studios! We're very excited to have one of our favorite guitar players, Wolf Marshall, a legendary player, author and instructor. He's nicknamed "Rich Little of Guitar", being the leading impressionist of instruction, as he's able to emulate the styles of any great guitar player. Blues, jazz, rock, or anything else - he can do it.

You've seen his articles in almost every guitar magazine out there, and has also been a faculty member of the UCLA jazz program since 2007. You'll be blown away at what he can do, so without further ado, let's check in with Wolf and get started.

The Un-Caged Concept

We'll start things off discussing Wolf's new course, his career as an instructor and his definition of "Un-Caged System" and where it comes from.

The Un-Caged Mechanisms

Wolf takes us a through an example of how the Un-Caged mechanisms work.

Milestones

Now, Wolf puts the mechanisms into action over a track, "Milestones".

Value of the Un-Caged System

Wolf talks about the value of using the Un-Caged system and where you can apply it in your playing to get the most out of it.

The Un-Caged Dominant

Moving on, we'll talk a bit about the Un-Caging the dominant and how it would work in a blues framework or any improvisational playing scenario.

Live Plus: Jazz Soling, Episode 02

This course is an extension of the valuable TrueFire interview of Wolf. It gives Wolf's improvisation on Kenny Burrell's song Chirlin Con Carne as well as Masquerade. It also complements Wolf's course, Uncaged Jazz Improv. All this material takes improvisation to a higher level beyond the CAGED improvisation strategy. This should be studied any serious jazz student.

meat and potatoes

Wolf Marshall exposes the true nature of approaching jazz via the Dorian minor chord’s juxtaposition sustaining the Lydian Concept. This is the meat and potatoes, the interview was the broccoli a bit over cooked.
