In this Jazz edition of his TrueFire Revolution series, Robben explores his jazz musicality across 10 performance studies, each focused on a specific comping or soloing approach.

"I'm a self-taught guitarist who began as a blues player, but wanting to expand my musical knowledge, I started investigating what the jazz players were doing. I found that learning chords were the best place for me to begin because even if I wasn't able to solo over them, I could accompany those who could and gain experience.

Once I had the chords under my belt, I learned scales that allowed me to improvise through them. My first opportunity to play in a jazz setting and with players who were far more evolved than I was, was with Tom Scott and the LA Express, accompanying Joni Mitchell. Soon after, I formed the group Yellowjackets, my first fusion band, and eventually found myself with Miles Davis - my hero in jazz for sure!

In this course, I'll be showing you my unique way of blending blues and jazz sensibilities in what I think is a fresh approach to jazz composition, harmony and improvisation. We'll work through 10 different pieces of music, each accentuating a different aspect of writing, comping and soloing."
