In this 75 minute lesson, Fred Sokolow shows you:
Chord construction and chord types, including inversions and diminished chords Scalewise progressions and how to use them Circle-of-fifths progressions and how to play and recognize them Chord comping, chord soloing and playing single-note solos to standards like I Got Rhythm, Honeysuckle Rose and Watch What Happens How to improvise solos using scales and chord-based licks How to solo over II-V-I standard changes.

There are some good tunes to learn and practice with good chord diagrams and tab.
