***************************************

Tenor Madness is a jazz standard written by Sonny Rollins. It’s basically a Jazz Blues in Bb.
In this jazz guitar tutorial I’ll be teaching you the melody / head of Tenor Madness for guitar, as well as one chorus of soloing.
I arranged the melody partly in diads in order to make it more interesting.
The guitar solo is intermediate level. You’ll find plenty of Blues and Bebop Lines in it. So if you ever wondered how to solo over Tenor Madness this is the perfect guitar lesson for you.

You’ll find many ideas for your own improvisation over this jazz blues.

If you like to have something written, you find the Tenor Madness guitar tab above. I also made Guitar Pro Tabs for my Solo over Tenor Madness. If you want to practice my solo or want to improvise, you find the backing track / playalong for Tenor Madness above too.

Now grab your guitar and follow me on this enjoyable ride!
