r/jazzguitar

so i’m buying my first electric guitar, as i plan on learning jazz, as well as applying for a jazz university this year. i need to find an amp as soon as possible, because i’m going to try out a used ibanez artcore in two days, and the seller said they no longer have an amp, so i should bring mine. i was planning on buying a new amp (preferably a small one, and budget friendly but good for it’s price.) but i know nothing about amps and would like some recommendations. what amps work well for jazz tone? i was thinking of ordering one online so that it arrives as soon as possible.
another option i just found out about is mini amps. i thought to just buy one, just to try out the guitar, and then return it and buy an actual good amp.

I am currently working six days a week and take care of two disable family members, so I don’t have time to play music with others at any regular interval. I do not want to go backwards by only playing over loops and synthesized backing tracks. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thank you.

Hi all! In the spirit of the season, I wanted to share this arrangement of Vince Guaraldi's classic Great Pumpkin Waltz :)

Been playing for 20+ years but recently got very interested in Jazz and wanted to start learning. I have very limited theory knowledge and have been mostly a pentatonic player.

Can anyone recommend a good online course to get me going?

hey!

i'm looking for recommendations of jazz guitar pieces to start learning

i've played guitar for a while now but never really focused on jazz

recently been learning a lot of theory (including avant-garde oriented stuff) and focusing on chords, voice leading etc

i really don't know where to start with finding tracks to learn. i of course like davis for the modal jazz sound, coltrane for that spiritual intensity (plus the Everytime We Say Goodbye and Blue in Green style)

i want to get better at expressing these styles on guitar but the jazz i listen to now doesn't feature guitar as much.

thanks for any advice in advance
