The jazz maestro Cecil Alexander guides us through some of his favorite improvisation concepts. This lesson will teach you a set of blues-flavored licks, taken up a notch with advanced jazz ideas.

This lesson has a lot of theory in it, so check out the TAB and work through each lick individually.

You’ll need to really take your time to understand Cecil's thought process behind each phrase. While you can just copy the licks and play them back, knowing why they sound so awesome is vital – this analytical mindset will help you become a great jazz player.
