  • Summary

  • Grab your guitar, today I’m sharing with you one of my favorite jazz scale patterns, the 4123 lick.

    This Charlie Parker pattern literally transformed my solos overnight from sounding like scales to sounding like jazz.

    It’ll do the same for you.

    In this lesson, you learn the 4123 jazz scale pattern & immediately solo with it over the most popular jazz chord progression.

    No complicated theory!

    First, you learn a C major scale shape and solo with that scale over a ii-V-I progression.

    Next, you discover how the 4123 fits into this, and any, jazz scale and then immediately add it to your solos over a famous jazz progression.

    To finish, you and I jam together as you experiment with accents, dynamics, and rhythms with this easy jazz scale pattern for guitar.

    Have fun as you transform ordinary scales to extraordinary jazz guitar solos with one, easy to play pattern.
