In this Fingerstyle and Chord Melody Masterclass, Martin shares how he internalizes the core framework of any piece of music and then builds upon it utilizing melodic, harmonic, and rhythmic variations to add dimension and color to an improvisational performance.
“Martin Taylor is one of the greatest and most impressive guitar players in the world.” - Chet Atkins
As a solo jazz and fingerstyle guitarist, I’ve found great joy in exploring the many dimensions of jazz composition and improvisation. I’m excited to share how I approach adding dimension and color to jazz standards for solo guitar performance and improvisations.
We’ll explore three popular jazz standards; A Foggy Day in London Town, In A Mellow Tone and Body & Soul. For each standard, I’ll demonstrate the 9 levels of exploration that I use myself to craft all of my solo arrangements.
We’ll start by learning the basic chord sequences for each, breaking them into smaller intervals, and adding the elements of accompaniment and feel. We’ll then learn the melody, build a basic chord melody arrangement, and learn to improvise using harmonic movement, melodic variation, and embellishments. Finally, I’ll give you two performances for each song to illustrate how I use this approach in my own improvisations.
My hope is that once we work through these 3 standards together, you’ll be able to craft your own arrangements in your own voice.”
”He out-shreds all of us put together - I’ve never seen anything like it!” - Jeff Beck
You’ll have all of TrueFire’s advanced learning tools at your fingertips to personalize your workspace and learn at your own pace.

    I picked up the "Masterpiece Guitars" CD about 10 years ago. I've been a Yes fan forever, mostly cause of Steve Howe's guitar work, and this CD shows just how excellent and varied Steve's, as well as Martin's, guitarmanship really is. ! This has everything you need to hear about guitars.

    So refreshing to hear you be so honest Martin in that you struggled a bit with the stretches over those chords and I can totally relate as often a very slow song is actuually much harder to get 'away' with playing it correctly, cleanly and accurately. Truly wonderful though.
