21st Century Jazz Fusion Concepts

Packed with his signature deft touch and one of a kind blazing dexterity, Josh Meader’s JTC debut is a chance to learn how to add something next-level to your lines. An access-all-areas pass into new age phrasing concepts and neo jazz note choices.

Inspired by greats such as Govan, Lane and Metheny, Josh Meader has gone on to forge his own unique style. Across twenty licks and two solos, he shares this style, packed with his expansive vocabulary, helping you access interesting shapes that you can apply to your improvisations.

Over “Titan” Josh flexes his fusion muscles in a furious display of effortless fretboard fluidity. Over “Lunar Light” Josh melodically tips the jazz scales and channels his inner Coltrane. The two together make use of slides, bends, sweep picking and string skipping; and show you how to navigate and create longer lines while smoothly outlining chord changes.

As you stretch your way across the 20 licks, you’ll discover bebop scales, saxophone arpeggios, stacked perfect 5ths, odd rhythmic patterns, wide intervallic shapes and a ton of tension building ideas alongside their resolving cousins.

Each lick is played fast and slow so you can get into every nuance of the mind bending madness. And to contextualise it all Josh has performed a full solo over each track. These show you how to connect ideas, how to make use of more familiar facets such as the pentatonic scale, and how to improvise a solo in a jazz fusion setting.

This release includes 20 licks (fast/slow), two solos, two backings, lick backings, lick notes and full tab in PDF and GP format.

Become comfortable with new note choices and discover how seemingly chaotic concepts can add extra flavours to your compositions. A brave and outlandish JTC debut packed with jazz fusion ideas.
