Introduction

It has been said that a great composer doesn't borrow, he steals. If this book dealt with memorizing rules, I would certainly place "steal from the best" as rule number one. Some might feel uncomfortable about imitation but there is little to fear if you are judicious in what you steal and don't just "loot one store:' We learn to speak by imitation. We use an existing language to express our thoughts. It is no different for the improviser, using and connecting phrases from an existing idiom. If we substitute the term "line" with sentence and "improvisation" with conversation, we de-mystify the process. The way a person puts his words and phrases together gives him his conversational style and consequently, the more vocabulary he has, the better equipped he is to express himself. Similarly,the way a player connects his musical phrases gives him his improvising style, and the more vocabulary he has, the better equipped he is. The idiomatic phrases of the Jazz language distinguish it from other music. Through use of examples, we hope to illustrate some ideas that are used to create jazz lines and phrases. Improvising is an art. The ability to articulate your ideas clearly is a craft. When you connect your ideas creatively and extemporaneously, the craft is elevated to art. Improvisation is the art of jazz. Observe your own speech patterns and phrasing. You will notice that no two or three words have exactly the same volume. What I'm pointing out is that in conversation, we naturally use one of the first learned and first forgotten lessons in music: dynamics. In good conversation, one idea naturally flows to another. With fluency we make connections. In jazz improvisation, where the subject of our conversation is the chord changes or modulations, we need the ability to melodically imply the chord we are playing over and at any given point in time, smoothly connect to a close available chord tone or note in the key center. (See Example 1.)In this example the modulations and chord changes are made by moving to the closest available note.

About the Author Sid Jacobs

Sid Jacobs grew up in Miami, Fla. and began guitar lessons at the age of seven. As a teenager he became serious about jazz playing and would study and practice by day and sneak into the jazz clubs at night. When the Jacobs family moved to Nevada, he obtained a position as guitar instructor at the University of Nevada, Las Vegas. This made him, at eighteen, the youngest faculty member in the school's music department. While living in Nevada, Sid found work in the hotel pit orchestras, and as touring accompanist to a number of celebrity singers and jazz artists. After moving to Los Angeles, he developed the curriculum for the Jazz Guitar elective at the Musicians Institute (GIT)and the Advanced Bebop and Jazz Guitar course at the Dick Grove SchooL In 1991the CD It's Not Goodnight was released featuring his original compositions and improvisations. Among the many jazz artists Sid has performed with are Eddie Harris, Harold Land, Buddy Montgomery, Red Holloway, Conte Candoli, and in duo concert settings with guitarist Joe Diorio. Through his involvement in education, his personal associations with jazz notables, and his discipline, Sid continues to gain recognition as an influential educator, composer, and performing artist. In reviewing a live performance, Los Angeles Times jazz critic Don Heckman characterized him in this way, "... a highly articulate improviser... Never at a loss for a new phrase his improvisations seemed to unfold with the ever-changing fascination of a set of Bach variations:' Sid currently divides his time among his pursuits as GIT instructor, musical equipment manufacturer's consultant, performance and recording artist, and jazz clinician. Sid jacobs plays a Borys guitar and usesThomastik-Infeld strings.

MEL BAY'S COMPLETE BOOK OF JAZZ GUITAR LINES & PHRASES

By Sid Jacobs

I wholeheartedly recommend this book to anyone who is serious about playing jazz guitar. It is a thorough, comprehensive and organized approach that can only come from someone who is a great musician and teacher.

-Bruce Forman

The plethora of disorganized, trendy guitar "methods" is ultimately confusing and overwhelming even to the most dedicated and devoted of students. Jacobs has brought us back to the simple musical truths that must inform all of our studies and music making. Jacobs' text is simple, clear, concise, and complete-It's the only jazz guitar "method" you'll ever need! -Fa reed Haque, Blue Note Recording Artist, Professor NIU (Northern Illinois University)

The Complete Book of Jazz Guitar Lines & Phrases is a concise, thorough exploration of the modern jazz vocabulary. It takes the mystery out of jazz harmony while stressing its creative applications. The explanations are clear and easy to follow, and the notated examples are fun, challenging, and musically relevant. I highly recommend this book to anyone interested in the study and advancement of jazz guitar. -John Hart

Jazz is a musical language with a variety of dialects. To speak jazz on the guitar with authenticity
and eloquence requires more than finger dexterity, a facile mind, or a creative impulse. It requires
a sense of tradition and a seemingly endless well of ideas. In non-literary cultures, the act of communication
and the art of conversation are learned through what is known linguistically as "oral
tradition"-a practice passed down from generation to generation by listening, imitating, mastering,
and ultimately reinterpreting with personal expression. So it is with jazz. The great jazz players
of history have, largely by ear, studied, absorbed, and reassembled the contributions of their
forebears. Picture George Benson repeating Charlie Parker licks until they were part of his vocabulary.
Or imagine Barney Kesselstruggling to get Charlie Christian's phrases under his fingers. Pat
Martino memorized and reinterpreted Johnny Smith's and Howard Roberts' signature licks to formulate
his own innovative style. Joe Passemulated and respun the stylings of great jazz wind and
piano players. And new voices like RussellMalone, Ron Affif, and Jimmy Bruno currently lead
today's straight-ahead movement with inspired reinventions of Wes Montgomery, John Coltrane,
and Hank Garland. The process largely entails the learning and mastery of specific phrases, or
licks, that are akin to sentences in a spoken language. This can be a daunting task considering the
vast number of musicians and styles in the genre.
Enter 101 Must-Know Jazz Licks. This book is a lexicon of essential phrases in a wide variety of
styles within the jazz genre. Each lick is a self-contained phrase with a central idea or focal point
and is an indispensable piece of the jazz vocabulary. The 101 licks are presented in rough chronological
order beginning with the late 1930sand continuing to the present. If you're already a jazz
guitar aficionado, this book may revive some delightful memories and inspire you to take your
current playing down some familiar old paths. If you're coming to this guide with an interest that
outweighs your knowledge of the jazz genre, expect to be taken on a trip through musical
Americana, with a soundtrack to match, from which you will emerge a more conversant and passionate
player.
-Wolf Marshall

Introduction
This volume is designed for all guitarists. Arranged for quick, easy reference, it contains 101 stylistic
phrases, commonly known as "Iicks"-those essential, self-contained instrumental figures utilized
by the great masters. Licks are part and parcel of the jazz tradition and the jazz experience.
Charlie Parker used 'em, so did John Coltrane and Wes Montgomery, and so does virtually every
player on the current scene. Licks are short, meaningful passagesskillfully tucked into tunes and
riffs, and laced through the improvised solos of the repertory. The audience may not hear them
or even be aware of them, but they can always be felt. A well-turned lick can make the difference
between a cold, mechanical statement and a communicative, engaging performance; and
the right lick driven by the energy and conviction of a seasoned player can bring the audience to
its feet.
Now you can add an authentic jazz feel and flavor to your playing. Here are 101 definitive licks
from every major jazz guitar style neatly organized into easy-to-use categories. They're all here:
swing jazz, pre-bop, bebop, hard bop, modal jazz, cool jazz, soul jazz, postmodern jazz, free jazz,
chord licks, and more. Browse to your heart's content, and feel free to tap into the feeling of
each lick that speaks to you. As you do, you'll be taking that vital first step of reinvention that
connects you to the spirit and the essenceof America's most emotional and transcendent
art music.

Tips for Using this Book and CD
1. Play these licks allover the fingerboard. If a lick is positioned at the eighth fret, move it down
to the third fret and play it in that area; you will notice that the string feel, tension, and fret
distances have a bearing on how the lick feels. Then move it up chromatically as a drill, playing
it in every position from the third to the seventeenth fret. This will depend on the range of
your guitar's fingerboard. Note the key changes as you move the licks to different positions.
2. Put several licks into the same key. For example, if a lick is presented in C and another is in G,
place them both into C, and then into G. This is the musical equivalent of using all your linguistic
phrases in one conversation.
3. Take that collection of phrases into various keys. Once you have grouped a number of licks into
the same key, move that grouping to new positions.
4. Make notes, mental or written, about the feel of each lick. Your visceral, emotional reaction to
a lick is part of the ad-lib selection processwhen improvising. This processcould involve forming
a visual image of the lick's physical shape-how it sits on the fingerboard.
5. Add at least one new lick per week to your vocabulary. Memorize and use it in your current
musical situation-playing with a band, adding it to an existing solo or song, or when jamming
with your friends.

About the Recording
Each lick is played twice on the accompanying audio: first at the normal tempo and then, after a
two-and-a-half-second pause, at a slower tempo.
Licks 1-98 are found at the corresponding CD counter numbers. Licks99, 100, and 101 are presented
as a single track on number 99. Within that counter number (99), use the following time codes
to find the three licks: Lick 99 occurs at 0:00, Lick 100 occurs at 0:45, and Lick 101 at 1:04.
These licks were played using authentic Gibson archtop electric guitars and miked amplifiers
including vintage Gibson and Fender tube amps and modern Polytone amps. The sounds, settings,
and particular instruments are cited in the accompanying performance notes.

TF=Target figure. This three-note melody pattern typically approaches a selected (tar-
get) tone by beginning on its upper neighbor, jumping to its lower neighbor, and then
moving to the target. See Lick 20.
VLF=Voice leading figure. A specific four-note pattern endemic to bebop and modern
jazz styles. The all-important figure involves approaching a particular note first from a
half step above and then from below (always by two half steps in succession).See
Lick 20.
SUB=Substitution. This refers to an alternate scale or melody substituted for a primary
relationship. It is followed by a scale or chord name, such as "SUB Abm" (AI, minor
instead of a more typical Bbl scale or harmony). See Lick 27.
Q: and A:=Question and answer phrases.The "call-and-response" procedure is an
important aspect of applying licks to form a larger melody structure.
Every lick is defined by an overall context; this can be a "basic scale" or "basic tonality." Most jazz
licks are defined by their harmonic setting and use a variety of scalesto convey melodic motion
through chord changes. In this case,a single basic scale would not be a sufficient label and could
present an incomplete and erroneous picture. Melodies such as these are labeled as having a
"basic tonality" though they are comprised of single notes as in Lick 10. Many jazz licks have a
plural harmonic application. For example, Lick 1 can be thought of as originating from either the
AI, major scale or the AI, Mixolydian mode (dominant seventh sound) as it does not contain the
crucial seventh in its melody. Similarly, Lick 5 has a plural application and could be used over an
FmGor Bb9chord background.
A suggested tempo is provided for each lick-Fast Swing, Moderately, Slowly (Rubato), etc.-to
further guide you in applying these phrases in your music. All licks marked with a swing feel
(Fast Swing, Moderate Swing, etc.) are to be perceived as occuring against a triplet feel background
and are generally to be played with swing eighth-note rhythm. This means that each twoeighth-
note rhythm unit is to be played as a quarter-eighth grouping of an eighth-note triplet

After getting these licks under your fingers, try taking them apart by playing them in pieces,
inside out and backwards. Each lick can be thought of as having several melodic or harmonic
"cells" of varied sizes in its structure. Eachcell is akin to a thought or group of words in a sentence.
These can be grafted to other cells from other licks to form new phrases.This processof
developing original music from fragments is a viable strategy for building a new musical statements
of your own.
Finally, once you have grasped the essentials of these licks, begin your own investigations. To this
end, a list of suggested recordings is offered in the back pages of this volume. Pick your favorite
jazz improvisations, and listen for these devices at work in the music of the great players. Be on
the lookout for imitative procedures and sequential activity in melodies and riffs, question-andanswer
phrases, harmonic extensions and alterations, unique turnarounds, and other thematic
development strategies. This sort of listening and thinking opens the door to a deeper understanding
and assimilation of the jazz language.

Swing and Pre-Bop
This group comes from the swing era of the late 1930sand early 1940s.Jazz was at
the height of its popularity in this period. Swing was a dance-oriented jazz style played predominately
in ballrooms by big bands of fourteen or more musicians. The music's harmony centered
around mildly dissonant chords like major and minor triads with added sixths, dominant sevenths,
and dominant ninths. These harmonies supported largely diatonic melodies set in riff-dominated
jazz tunes, 12-bar blues structures, and 32-bar pop tunes.
Swing's leading guitarist was Charlie Christian, who combined elements of earlier classicjazz traditions
as well as blues licks from the southern states and horn licks borrowed from wind players
like Lester Young and Roy Eldridge. The practice of emulating and adapting "horn licks" (largely
from saxophone and trumpet) has been a mainstay of jazz guitar since Christian's time. Christian's
pioneering use of the newly-designed Gibson Electric-Spanish (ES)guitar established the role of
the electric guitarist in jazz. Prior to his appearance, jazz guitarists were mainly confined to
strumming in the rhythm section or forced to play in smaller all-string combos such as Django
Reinhardt's Hot Club quintet.
Christian's work with the Benny Goodman Sextet set the standard for early combos that included
electric guitar. Jazz, blues, and pop guitarists who followed in the 1940swere under the spell of
Charlie Christian and sought to emulate his sound and style. In swing and pre-bop, this included
Oscar Moore, Barney Kessel,AI Casey,Herb Ellis, and others. Sweepingly influential, Christian's
licks were also heard in the subsequent wave of jump blues guitarists and early rock 'n' roll players.
Identifiers of the swing style include an eighth-note-dominated horn-like phrasing, extensive
use of the sixth degree of the scale and chromatic passing tones, blues riffs, and a strong swing
rhythm feel.
To maintain sonic authenticity, I played these licks on my Gibson ES-175/CCwith heavy-gauge
strings. This instrument is equipped with the early Gibson bar pickup (dubbed the "Charlie
Christian pickup") in the neck position. The volume and tone controls were both set at 8. The guitar
was played through a vintage 1952 Gibson GA-75 amp with one 15-inch speaker. The tone of
the amp was set for a warm and moderately clean sound with a hint of tube overdrive; in this
case,treble and bassat the midway point and the volume at just below halfway. This sound is
generally the norm for early jazz guitar, circa 1940s-1950s.
