🎸 Updated & Expanded Jazz Guitar Lesson
This is the updated and expanded version of my classic lesson on the Modes of the Major Scale — now redesigned with a professional jazz guitarist’s approach to fretboard study, harmony, and improvisation.
What You Get
- 🎵 TABS, MIDI, and Audio tracks for each mode – hear, see, and play every scale clearly.
- 🎸 Scales and chords written in position, moving up and down the fingerboard for real-world playability.
- 📘 Each mode linked directly to its corresponding chord for melodic improvisation practice.
- 🔁 Includes full key of C study with instructions for transposing into all keys and fingerings.
Why This Lesson Matters
All chords are based in the key of C. Learn how to use each mode for improvisation depending on the chord you’re playing over — then expand to all keys and positions. This step-by-step approach gives you true fretboard freedom and deeper jazz harmony understanding.
Perfect For
- Intermediate to advanced jazz guitarists.
- 6- and 7-string players wanting to connect scales and chords.
- Students exploring modal improvisation, chord-tone soloing, and melodic voice leading.

Wonderful sweatshirt! Comfy indeed! My favorite merch from Ron Jackson! Would love to talk 7 string guitar with anyone who asks about my sweatshirt! Quick shipping as well! Thank you Ron!🎸
A fine idiomatic and creative arrangement. Bravo Ron!
The hat is a great snapback, and it has the old school green brim underneath. It reminds me of the way they used to make caps when I played little league. Thanks RON!!!
Very happy with my tour bag! My coworker gave it compliments saying its very stylish! Wonderful quality and sturdy materials! Thank you Ron!🎸
Thanks so much we love our Ron Jackson merch!
This mug is the best! It's got cute Ron Jackson reminding us to practice guitar!
I love being a guitarist. In particular, a jazz guitarist. This cap is a great fit and I'll admit allows me to walk proud with my cap knowing that I am part of the guitar community. My thanks to master guitarist Ron Jackson.
This is was one of the place I could find an arrangement of the song I was interested in playing and it’s a great one!
This music is a must buy, why? Because it reaches your mind and soul in new ways that other music just can’t go… so buy now and find out for yourself!
I recently purchased 3 CD’s and Ron’s book
“Chord At Your Fingertips” All signed by Ron for NO extra charge! I am completely satisfied with the quality of the music and the “pressing of the CD’s” and of course the book which is outstanding for any beginner to intermediate level to practice with 12 Four Week Lessons! Attached are some pictures showing the CD’s and Book and Ron’s Autograph. The Price is Right purchase Now!
Wonderful shirt that reminds not only guitarists but all musicians to practice! Happy with the quality of the shirt as well Ron! And, shipping was very fast! I truly appreciate it! Thank you!
It starts with my favourite song on the CD "Brandy" and the third song is my second favourite "From Dusk To Dawn" which is an original Ron Jackson composition. Honorable mention is the 11th song on the disc is "Time After Time". The whole thing is great but those are my personal favourites. Great for listening while relaxing at home or driving
Ron's sheet music has been really helpful in picking up new Jazz concepts, especially playing lines over chords. His sheet music comes with standard notation, tabs, chord symbols, and audio files. They are helpful if you're just starting out in Jazz, or if you already have experience. You can purchase them as stand alone tutorials, or you can even get lessons with Ron! Here's an awesome arrangement of Happy Birthday.
Ron is extremely generous with sharing his vast musical knowledge. His patience and down to earth approach has been very inspiring for me in many ways, some of that is far beyond music. He's also very humble, which is in a huge contrast with what he actually brings to the table.
