You can use these chords to play thousands of songs, and for someone like me who needs immediate gratification, I was ALREADY playing some of my favorites after one night of practice. Jeff really knows how to explain these chords in an easy-going way, and it makes sense to virtually anyone. I highly recommend starting here.

3. 30 Beginner Jazz Licks You MUST Know – Fareed Haque

This fabulous course is giving me an arsenal of jazz licks that I can use to impress my friends and family. These licks can be played over a variety of chord changes and help build some beautiful musical phrases and solos. This will be a challenge, and I am excited to learn all 30.
And that’s it!
