Breaking Down Jim Hall’s Perfect Jazz Blues Solo

Details

Description

In this video, we break down one of Jim Hall’s most tasteful jazz blues solos from "Things Ain't What They Used To Be" from his legendary "Jazz Guitar" album. You’ll hear how he uses space, phrasing, and motifs to create a powerful musical story with just a few notes — proof that great playing is about intention, not speed.
We’ll go through the solo step-by-step with slow playthroughs, tabs, and insights on how you can bring these ideas into your own guitar playing. Whether you’re a jazz guitarist, a blues player, or simply love beautiful solos, you’ll come away with practical tools to make your music more expressive.
