that 3-5-2-1 pattern is a gem.

I'm just starting to work from this book and it's very cool. Nice to have a lesson/demo of the book, to demonstrate its musical potential. Thanks Mikko!!!

LOve this video, and as before...love your down to earth approach. Cheers! :)

still I worked through all your practicings, because I like your timing, and the way you played it immideately made a lot of sense + nice accents

Great lesson, makes a lot of sense and sounds really good.

Thank you for including your personal study on Melodic Structures. Just printed out...time to go practice it! Mark

Great lesson, great jam Mikko!

Thanks! its very well explained and useful, greetings!

Splendid..

Great !!! Master!!!

Hello Mikko---- I came across this video about a year ago, tried these patterns and found them interesting. Then I went away and forgot about them and focused on other stuff. Then I came back and found it again. For some reason, I haven't seen these patterns elsewhere. In Coker's "Patterns For Jazz" and other pattern examples I've seen, practically all patterns in major and minor are 1-2-3-5 and their permutations. The vast majority of other books have arpeggios 1-3-5-7 etc. I'm not musically trained enough to understand why these Bergonzi patterns sound and feel better, but basically I see these as just triads with a passing note. The critical difference is that when you switch from major to minor or b9 etc. you immediately hear the difference. Especially with the altered chords. This is a major revelation to me. I've been improvising with these.... and they work! My ear takes over and goes to the right note. Not like the standard 1-3-5-7 or 1-2-3-5 at all!

I love your channel

Thanks for this video. I just started working out of that book a few weeks ago, and it is good to see where it goes.

👌

Really enjoyed your lessons on Autumn leaves and this one and practicing some of the material. Thank You! Quick question about the book you suggested: 1. Is it all musical notation? Any tablature? 2. Does it come with a CD with examples of the patterns 3. Is the cost in the 35$ range? Thanks again.

I'd love more of these lessons on applying the Bergonzi patterns in actual bop tunes. The books are sax oriented of course and It's so helpful seeing how you use your left hand fingering approaches for these patterns when applying over some of the bop tunes. Thanks!

What books would you recommend to help a bass player solo better?

E split? First time I've heard it called that. Is that a Swedish thing?

On another song ( Never be another you ) The final Turn around .............. Do you play over each chord .............I saw you do It while showing this same concept BUT I might just go to the key center and play something Instead. ( I haven't tried It ) If It would work. I would have to create lines and memorize lines to make It work smooth. Do you play over those changes or do you feel It's optional to find another way ( simplified ) version?

Hey Mikko, Blues for Alice I studied also years ago, Nice favourite Tune, Do you know the pentatonic drop 2(tone skipping) over more than one cotave paterns of Jerry Bergonzi? I did study it till now I don't think it had already entered my playing, those are very beatiful, but mean difficult(orcs)

I am not totally sure, but could it be that Charlie Parker had Au Privave in mind and ear, and wanted to go a bop a bit more brutally???

It's a Bird blues.

Bird blues :)

Another great video! Do you teach lessons on Zoom?

Ok there have to be at least 20 combinations in that 4 note patterns.... why 4 notes? why not 5 or 8 ?? Coltrane motifs as I understand them are these basic 4 note flavors so that they can be sequenced quickly during fast tempos . But what about slower tunes?

Its great , but very difficult and too fast playing for advanced players like me .

Turn your neck PU lower, you're hitting it the whole time with your pick?!! And: your guitar will sound jazzier ;)
