I first got interested in Pat Martino’s minor conversion method from a post on a jazz guitar forum. Forum members recommended getting the book “Linear Expressions” and learning the jazz lines. There was some discussion of their interpretation of minor conversion and some posted playing the Activities. That’s where it stopped. You had to be Pat Martino to improvise with these lines. I did some research, found Armin’s videos and ultimately purchased his course. I learned the jazz lines from the book “Linear Expressions”. This was before I took the course and before Amir graciously made his Formations available on YouTube. I also learned you don’t have to be Pat Martino to improvise with these lines. Which jazz lines did you learn - Pat Martino’s five Activities or Amir’s four Formations?

Hi guys, as a way to introduce myself and have your comments on how to improve, here's a recording I made on this tune.

What is your dream result in learning jazz guitar? Is it getting gigs? Having a good time at the jam? Whatever it is, I WANNA KNOW!❤️ please comment and maybe connect with someone that has the same goal as you!

This one’s for the players who feel stuck, even after doing all the right things: - Practicing regularly - Learning solos from records - Knowing their scales and arpeggios - Even jamming with others when possible But still… the solos don’t flow.They feel safe, or repetitive, or like you’re trying to remember what comes next instead of actually playing music. I was 100% there too.What finally clicked for me was learning how to simplify my mental process while soloing.Less thinking, more listening.Less “what scale goes here?” and more “what sound do I want?” That shift is what helped me actually enjoy improvising — and start getting better, faster. If you're in that spot right now — feeling stuck even though you're putting in the work — I built something for you. Inside GuitArmin Premium, I break this entire process down into simple, practical steps: - How to hear the changes before you play them - How to make soloing feel natural, not mechanical - How to actually use the stuff you practice — across real tunes It’s not just lessons — it’s a complete roadmap with feedback, community, and support to get you from stuck to flowing.
