Here’s a great Jazz Guitar Lesson based around the G pentatonic major scale. Billy Wilkie gives you some great ideas about how to use this scale as the basis for some great jazz licks with a few extra slides thrown in.
There’s a couple of really nice lines that he plays as part of this exercise. Learn them in the key of G, and then make sure you know how to play them in other keys.

@chiniack Blues is to simple. 12 bars blues and pentatonic scale over and over..Boring. Jazz is Awesome forming licks to a jazz progression Cmaj7 Dm7 Am7 to G7 Using C Ionion then using D Dorian then Am pentatonic to G Mixolyidan and forming different aspects of the modes to form a bebop sound is just my style of music.

I don’t want to have a big strange right hand like that !! Anyway thank you very much for the lesson.
Does anyone know if he has any bebop Jazz CD’s? I would really like to hear him play a tune like Giant Steps in a jazz quartet/quintet format.
@ Omerta011 do you know where jazz comes from?! lol!
no.. not hard.. but honestly he is one of the better teachers I have seen. Break the licks into sections and work through it. Makes it easier for the student (doesnt have to rewind as much)
The most fun I have had on the tube in a while
something is wrong with this. HE’S NOT PLAYING A SEVEN STRING!
ABCDEFG
