In this 86 minute video lesson, Fred Sokolow shows you how to play easy fingerstyle chord/melody solos for classic jazz tunes:

Yes Sir, That’s My Baby

Sweet Georgia Brown

Dinah

Has Anybody Seen My Gal?

The Man I Love

Oh, Lady Be Good

Somebody Loves Me

Bye Bye Blackbird

All By Myself

Along the way, you'll learn some of the principles of chord soloing and lots of new jazz chords... and just for fun, Fred always provides some historical context for the songs.

All the arrangements stay in the first 5 frets (nearly all the time!) so they're easy and fun to play. Fred slows down each tune, and split-screen closeups of both hands make it easy to see what he's doing. A PDF tab/ music book has all the songs written out in detail. All the lyrics and chords are written out for each tune, to help you strum and sing the songs.
