Sid Jacobs
Sid Jacobs grew up in Miami, Florida and began guitar lessons at
the age of seven. As a teenager he became serious about jazz playing and
would study and practice by day and sneak into the jazz clubs at night.
When the Jacobs family moved to Nevada he obtained a position as guitar
instructor at the University of Nevada, Las Vegas. This made him, at
eighteen, the youngest faculty member in the school's music department.
While living in Nevada Sid found work in the hotel pit orchestras, and as
touring accompanist to a number of celebrity singers and jazz artists.
After moving to Los Angeles Sid Jacobs developed the curriculum
for the Jazz Guitar elective at the Musicians Institute and the Advanced Bebop
and Jazz Guitar course at the Dick Grove School. In 1991 the CD It's
Not Goodnight was released featuring his original compositions and
improvisations.
Through his involvement in education, his personal associations with
jazz notables, and his own discipline Sid Jacobs continues to gain recognition as
an influential educator, composer, and performing artist. In reviewing a
live performance, Los Angeles Times jazz critic Don Heckman characterized
him in this way: "…a highly articulate improvisor…Never at a loss for a
new phrase, his improvisations seemed to unfold with the ever-changing
fascination of a set of Bach variations." Sid currently divides his time among his pursuits as GIT instructor,
musical equipment manufacturer's consultant, performance and recording
artist, and jazz clinician.

Sid Jacobs - The Changes
- Book and CD
These
lessons are offered as a way to visualize guide tones on the fretboard. From
these shapes lines can be
created for soloing and voicings can be built for
comping and chord melody. Most importantly, the changes
of the progressions
being played can be heard with only a few notes. The simple approach is always
best -
guide tones are easy to play and are how the ear identifies a chord
progression. Embellishing guide tones is
what improvising musicians from baroque
to bebop and beyond have been doing to make the changes.
Companion CD includes
all the exercises.

out of jazz harmony while stressing its creative applications. The explanations are clear
