Guided Fingerstyle & Jazz Guitar Arrangements
Martin has just filmed a batch of new videos as part of his Guided Arrangements™ guitar lessons series. These consist of jazz and fingerstyle lessons designed by Martin to help you create your own versions or arrangements of classic tunes. It doesn’t matter whether you are a beginner guitarist or an advanced player, the Guided Arrangements™ series enables you to create your own, custom arrangements of tunes you love. Here’s how it works…
Martin starts off with a video lesson showing the very basic arrangement of a tune in order to show you the melody, harmonic structure and chord sequence (including transcriptions). Now the fun starts as Martin personally guides you through developing your own version of the tune. You can submit a video of your progress for Taylor to provide video feedback on. Over a series of video exchanges you’ll be able to create your own arrangements.
“Creating your own arrangements is an incredibly powerful way to expand your skills and increase your understanding of your own playing,” said Martin. “Having literally watched countless students achieve dramatic improvement online, it is gratifying to be able to evolve the lessons to help them to take this next step.”
If you are already a subscriber of Martin’s online guitar school then you can get instant access to the guitar lessons here. If you haven’t yet joined and want to learn more then head along to the Martin Taylor Guitar School here.
