About this pack
This pack starts with a short improv, and then breaks it down into its parts to show you how one phrase can come from 6 simple licks and fundamentals.
We avoid chord changes and just focus on a tonal center, so you get the knowledge without worrying about modulation or confusing Jazz theory. Play along with the video, work each lick in all 12 keys and then start mixing and matching to make it your own!
