STEP 1: MASTER THE JAZZ GUITAR BLUEPRINT

Our flagship Master Standards Blueprint provides a unique, immersive approach to learning jazz guitar.

  • Monthly focus on a new jazz standard
  • Progressive learning: Each lesson builds on the previous lesson's concepts
  • Comprehensive coverage: Theory, technique, improvisation, harmony, rhythm, and repertoire

What You'll Learn Each Month:

  1. New Theory Concept (e.g., ii-V-I lines, tritone substitution)
  2. 5-Position Chord Study
  3. Fundamental Skills (Arpeggios, Scales, Essential Jazz Patterns, etc.)
  4. Detailed Improvisation Study (Learn from Wes, Benson, Grant Green, Joe Pass, and more)

🎵 THE CGA DIFFERENCE 🎵

Our unique building-block approach ensures each lesson connects directly to what you've already learned - a feature not found in other programs, even at the university level.

""I was watching Chase regularly and thought well, I'll join his academy...I thought if it doesn't work out I can leave, but I'm here a year later and I plan on staying." Rich M. - Member for 1+ year

 

"I've had a number of good moments in CGA, but I think my most meaningful moments are those that occur every month or two...where I realize I'm definitely doing things I couldn't do in the past. - Max J. - Member for 2 Years

 

"I stumbled upon where Chase was teaching. I did like his presentation and style, and I decided to sign with CGA. I have learned so much over the years and one of my best moments is...where Chase gives you the opportunity to continue a line from your own creativity." - Pierre D. - Member for 2 Years

 

"The period before joining CGA I had a musical blindspot, everything I played was copied. Now after a year, instead of being afraid of searching for the next note, like stepping on a minefield, I'm looking to hear which gives me a feeling of self-assurance." - Fred K. - Member for 1 Year
