You’ll go way beyond the typical jazz rhythm guitar parts most guitarists use, and learn to play beautifully voiced movements that decorate the chords and become an integral part of the tune itself...
... If you took away the rest of the band, your guitar part would stand alone and still entertain the crowd.
What You’ll Learn
First, you’ll take a deep dive into John’s unique strategies for creating comping movements. Here, you’ll discover the tools you can use to develop your own stunning arrangements.
In a clearly illustrated, step-by-step guide, you’ll learn how to:
- Artistically embellish any chord sequence with inside and outside movements
- Add related chords to create moving chord phrases
- Connect multiple voicings of chords across the range of the neck to expand your palette

Once you understand how John thinks, you’ll learn to play his beautiful, creative chord comping movements over the most common sequences in jazz. Individual chapters are dedicated to:
- Major ii V I movements
- I VI ii V (Rhythm Changes)
- Minor ii V i movements
- Latin Jazz vamps
Every example is accompanied by a detailed breakdown of what John played and why, and you’ll quickly learn to apply these strategies in your own unique voice.
Next, each collection of jazz chord phrases is followed by an etude where John demonstrates how these ideas translate into a full arrangement.
You’ll learn beautiful arrangements based on:
- Fly me to the Moon
- Embraceable You
- Have You Met Miss Jones
- Yesterdays
- I Remember You
- All the Things You Are
For each piece, John highlights exactly how he alters the chords to create fresh harmonic movements and give these classic tunes a fresh twist.
