Get an insider’s view on John Stowell’s style of teaching and playing, approaching guitar chords pianistically, developing arrangements of familiar tunes that create new challenges (modulations, odd meters), use of open string voicings and voice leading in comping.

3 Standards:
“Days of Wine and Roses”
“On Green Dolphin Street”
“Like Someone in Love”
Sub-topics:
Modulations as part of an arrangement of a familiar standard
Odd meter interpretations of standards
Melodic minor mode applications to introduce tensions over dominant chords
Expected Outcome:
New ideas for soloing, adding new chords for comping and solo ideas, improving ability to internalize and memorize chord progressions.
