Questions:

The big PROBLEM for many students of Jazz is that they are stuck practicing the traditional “Symmetrical” scales and arpeggios: Majors, minors , modes + Pentatonics.

This is a serious issue as none of these scales actually contain the juicy, bluesy non diatonic notes that the jazz greats use to express themselves so passionately.

This means the students are missing out, limiting their horizons and even wasting precious time practicing

Jazz is not symmetrical.

Much of the flavour of Jazz comes from dissonances! So learning how to use these dissonances is of paramount importance!

SOLUTION
