Pat Metheny | Best Advice To Learn Jazz Guitar

Free PDF link below

If you were fortunate enough to get to take private jazz guitar lessons with Pat Metheny, what do you think would be the first thing he would ask you to do?

Arrange a solo guitar chord melody for a jazz standard?
Transcribe a famous solo?
Master all of your scales and arpeggios in every position of the fretboard?
Memorize all inversions of your basic drop 2 chords?
Read a theory book?

What do you think that Metheny would say is the absolute most important thing to your jazz guitar progress? I'm going to tell you what it is today, and I'm going to attach a PDF and give you some ideas how you can accomplish it and begin applying it to your music and your playing to start seeing changes in your playing immediately and continue watching those changes grow and unfold for the rest of your life.

I recently stumbled across a random video of him giving a masterclass to a group of young jazz musicians where he laid out his answer, and it might surprise you. I was so happy to hear what he said. It lines up with my own thoughts on learning and teaching. It's something I started doing after I became ill and had to learn to replay. I didn't do it because Metheny told me to. I did it out of sheer necessity.

I was 35 years old, living in NYC and having been a professional performing, touring, recording, and teaching jazz guitarist for almost 15 years - four of which were in New York. But I had suddenly lost all of my muscle memory, forgotten my entire repertoire, I only had about 5-15 minutes worth of practice time before I physically needed to stop for the day, and yet I was somehow supposed to learn to replay. Out of desperation, I started doing one thing everyday that helped me get where I wanted to be musically. Now it's the first thing I ask of everyone I work with one-on-one. In fact, if you were interested in signing up to work with me in my Online Coaching Program, you'd find that before we even meet, just while you're filling out the Coaching Program Request Form, I would ask you about it. Rarely do I come across a student who has clearly put serious time into this one, simple little musical secret.

And it's the same thing Metheny is talking about in this video.

Are you ready for the big secret? It's going to sound too simple to be true at first. But it's actually a really, REALLY big deal and quite challenging if you want to take it seriously the way Metheny and I recommend...
