Many have come from rock playing ( I include myself ) and find the jazz improv style a vast ocean to swim and need someone to show us the first strokes without which we might sink. Questions like, given a melody, do I play arps or use the notes from a scale?. Is it best to play a relative minor?, should I be using a modes approach? What i'm saying is where would we start to unravel this vast ball of string(S) Thanks for all your help, Kevin Hi Leon,

It's kind of frustrating running this site because the number of ideas that I have for articles and quality information to provide you guys is just mind-boggling. I really wish I could post more often--even everyday but the reality is I have to work everyday like everyone else. But, I just have to keep plugging away consistently and my goals for this site will be realized. I love jazz guitar so much that I won't stop no matter what until I feel I have nothing more to contribute. But to answer your question, here's what you and others reading this comment can do to help: 1. Email me and tell me what kind of specific information about learning jazz guitar you want to know. It's as simple as that. I know, however, that it's not always that easy to describe what you want especially for those that are newer players. But, do your best. 2. Give me regular feedback. If you do or don't like a topic I discussed or the way it was discussed or whatever, let me know so I can improve. 3. Support this site by purchasing my (forthcoming) products and then give feedback on those products. This website costs money to run, web hosting, video production equipment, audio production and recording equipment, music production software, etc...and it's not cheap as you might imagine. So, help me keep this site going by purchasing my products. But, I'm not asking for charity. If you don't like one of my products, give me suggestions for improvement and believe me I will take heed. Finally, if you have any other suggestions for helping out with this site, feel free to email me. thanks again for your support, Leon Hi Gary,

Is there anything that we (those of us benefiting from your site) can do to help? I love your informative approach to teaching. There aren't many who can really teach. I think you have a good feel for whats needed in approaching the difficult task of learning to improvise. Let me know if there are hurdles I might be able to help you over. Looking forward to your next article. Hey Leon
