Am I right?

For over 7 years, we’ve taught primarily gospel music by ear. Yes, you can pick up our 300-pg home study course and find general music theory, ear-training, and various progressions from other genres, but our main focus up until now has been on gospel music.

I simply called it “drilling deep” or focusing only on one type of player. It was the classic “don’t try to please everyone” and “stick with what you know best” philosophy.

But even I’ve realized the necessity for gospel (and ALL) musicians to explore other genres as there is a lot to be discovered by doing this.

Not only do you increase your creativity by pulling chords, patterns, licks, and tricks from other places, but you break yourself away from being limited to one style of playing.

That’s why so many musicians get stuck trying to figure out why they’re playing the same stuff they were playing years ago… or worse, have gone several steps in the wrong direction due to lost interest — because they’ve realized that most songs in a particular genre follow certain patterns and once you knows them all, it gets extremely difficult to learn new patterns unless you step outside the “genre.”

And if you are like me, you will agree with me that jazz is one of the most popular genres in the world today. In many instances, it’s like the “default” style of music you end up listening to whether in an elevator, waiting in a doctor’s office, as hold music on the phone, in the background at a fancy restaurant… even at church these days as many pastors are holding gospel jazz brunches and concerts.

Heck, it’s commonly used as an adjective to describe certain ways to play other genres. You’ve probably heard musicians say “jazz that up a little” or “play that a little jazzier.”

That’s why I’m finally answering the thousands of musicians who have literally begged us to teach the basics of jazz by ear — and this page reveals everything you need to know to start playing jazz now.

Are You “One Dimensional?”

Who wants to be stuck playing the same chords and songs over and over again?

I’m sure nobody… if they can help it.

No one wants to be labeled by others as “one-dimensional”. And to be honest, knowing only one style of music is pretty boring. And as a musician, excitement and unpredictability is the name of the game!

I mean, adding even just one style of music to your playing, especially one as vibrant as jazz, will have an exponential effect on you, forever.

Heck, just being able to understand jazz will ignite your creative side and allow you to accelerate your improvisational skills that can be used to instill your own personal touch in literally everything you play… regardless of the genre.
