All The Things You Good To Know About Playing Jazz Guitar -P3 Have a Good time with the White Notes

Welcome to the third part of my video series! In this episode, we’re shifting our focus to the concept of white notes and the importance of practicing with a metronome.

White notes—those fundamental, unaltered tones—offer a unique way to simplify your approach while enhancing your understanding of harmony and melody. By focusing only on these “natural” notes, you’ll train your ears to hear the structure of scales and intervals more clearly.

But there's more: incorporating a metronome into your practice can elevate your timing and rhythmic accuracy. We'll explore exercises that help you lock into the beat, improve your internal clock, and ultimately enhance your groove. Whether you're comping, soloing, or just working on your time feel, this approach will give you a solid rhythmic foundation.
