Now, on to today's episode.

I find that a lot of musicians that come to me for help

are feeling stuck in their jazz playing. They're on that dreaded musical plateau, and they're in

the desert, they can't see the end, and they're not sure how to get to the next level in their

jazz playing. And this can be very frustrating experience,

feeling like your solos aren't up to snuff, that your baselines are never getting better,

that your comping's never getting better, that you're still falling back into old habits

that are constantly holding you back from your musical potential. Well, in today's episode,

I'm going to help you break through and get unstuck in your jazz playing.

I'm going to give you a five-step process that if you follow these five steps, I can pretty

much guarantee you're going to start making some progress and moving forward, getting unstuck in

your jazz playing.
