20 Jazz Licks: Box Set

A three stop tour of jazz designed to help players of all abilities become comfortable with its many wonderful quirks and unique touches. As Luca Mantovanelli unveils each lick, you’ll be treated to an ever expanding world that will enrich your abilities and allow you to be inspired in new and invigorating ways.

It all starts with the beginner level pack, filled with accessible licks and familiar concepts, but oozing with lessons that will allow you to step up as a player. With a focus on articulation, a wave of new scales and a feast of technical tricks, these 20 licks act as a perfect introduction to the genre.

The intermediate level release looks to notch up the difficulty by developing the ideas from the beginner pack. Working on diminished arpeggios, Benson style bebop lines and a swathe of swing licks, this is where you can refine your skills.

As the box set reaches its crescendo, you will uncover licks that bring together advanced modal ideas, pull in tension filled chromatics and dips into the deep waters of outside playing. A fitting finale to a 60 lick roller coaster of jazz soloing.

Every lick within the box set is played both fast and slow, and each release comes with its own PDF study guide. In total there are 20 backings, spread across the releases, played by real jazz musicians. Each lick comes with full tab/notation in PDF and GP format.

Whether you’re beginner, intermediate or advanced, Luca’s jazz licks box set has every angle and ability checked and covered. Open the book on the timeless genre and step into the mystical world of jazz guitar.
