		<description><![CDATA[I remember when I first started playing jazz guitar. I was simply overwhelmed by everything that I had to learn. So many tunes, chords, scales, arpeggios, licks&#8230;. It was crazy. How was I supposed to learn all this stuff in a reasonable time. But I was really passionate about the music and the instrument and [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Anyone who&#8217;s followed my site for awhile knows that I emphasize building your jazz vocabulary by listening to the players you like and working with good transcriptions of solos.&#160;&#160; The idea being that the more you work those licks and phrases into your own playing, you&#8217;ll eventually create your own voice when improvising.&#160; This is [...]]]></description>
