Hi. I’m Jakob from Stockholm, Sweden. I have been playing guitar for many years but I am struggling to find a process for practicing and developing. Looking forward to exploring this community.

I really don't get it. I mean...so what should I do first of all...? the scales, and arpeggios and stuffs...? or memorizing fingerboard...? To be honest, these amounts of new informations overwhelming me and I really wanna know what is the right 'first step'. As a beginner jazz learner, I thought, frankly, 'is it even possible to me to play jazz....?' Well, I'm sorry but could anyone tell me the right path...? This is too frustrating...

In the "Classroom" @Coach Marc-Andre Seguin has created Apple Music and Spotify playlists for historically significant jazz albums and guitar focused jazz albums. For those who do not have Spotify or Apple Music, I have duplicated these lists on YouTube Music. Here are the links: Historically significant Jazz Albums: https://music.youtube.com/playlist?list=PL67JCS3UfryzMNvop_7HJX2rfkceRRSEW&si=FcJ0esqRIjfmpsax Historically significant Guitar-Focused Jazz Albums https://music.youtube.com/playlist?list=PL67JCS3UfryyYOFavNmIM0cAWHGQ_mLpU&si=qv0rhUr4Cc4zjCRQ NOTE: Coach Marc graciously approved this posting

That was quite challenging, almost felt like that l've returned to 15 years old first time player. Felt shame to myself that underestimating theories and just learned to play 'cool sounding' songs, without proper thinking.

How do you get the most of your guitar practices? @Coach Marc-Andre Seguin has some tips for you 🧐

What scales can you use for each chord in a minor 2-5-1 progression? In this video, @Coach Marc-Andre Seguin will give you shortcuts on how you can go to the next chord, or destination, with these approaches using the modes of the melodic minor. Use these tips to spice things up in your improv, giving your playing a bit of "exotic" sound.

Here is Blue Monk after I did Blue Bossa first!! Not overly happy with it. I started to mess with arpeggios so I think it feels very mechanical with a repetitive motif - but I did learn a new tune and some arpeggios!

Heres the lead sheet for a tune I wrote earlier this year. https://youtube.com/shorts/AvQGNSBBLxo?si=AnqD00zMVu5Yxb_5

I am having trouble finding live people to jam with where I live. So, lately, I have been considering whether jamming online in real time might be an option. I have read some good reviews of various free and open access jamming software packages, on reddit and other platforms, so I was wondering if anyone has had any luck with this crazy idea, and with what results. Thanks in advance.
