Скачать или смотреть Leon Rhodes’ Western Swing Guitar Lines Every Jazz Player Should Know!

In this jazz guitar lesson, I break down a powerful Leon Rhodes solo from My Window Faces South with Willie Nelson. Leon Rhodes was not only a Western swing legend — he also had deep bebop vocabulary that translates beautifully into jazz guitar playing.

We’ll look at a 4-measure phrase from his solo, analyze it one measure at a time, and explore:

How Rhodes’ lines connect through the changes using typical bebop language
Alternate fingerings and variations you can use right away
Practical applications for jazz standards and improvisation

If you’re looking to expand your jazz guitar vocabulary with fresh lines straight from one of the greats, this lesson is for you!
