Why practice with swing?
Understand Swing Feel
That triplet-based groove is fundamental to jazz. Master it and your jazz playing transforms.
Learn Rhythm Guitar
The Freddie Green four-to-the-bar style is a lost art. Swing is where you rediscover it.
Play Standards
Most jazz standards are swing tunes. Know this feel and you can jam on hundreds of classic songs.
Practice tips
- Swing feel is about the triplet subdivision - practice with a metronome on beats 2 and 4
- Chord voicings should be economical - no need to play all six strings
