Hi mikko, Bert Ligon has a book dedicated to this outlines concept, it's called Connecting chords with linear harmony. He elaborates more with licks etc.

Another great lesson! It takes years to find the important things to focus on to master this instrument. I really appreciate someone who can find the core concepts that help us to that end. Thank you Mikko

HI Mikko.............I stumbled upon your channel today and have very much enjoyed what you’ve had to say. I’m a (73 year old) clarinet player, not a guitarist. I returned to my instrument about 8 years ago after decades of absence. Your information, musical insights and knowledge cross whatever boundary might exist between between my instrument and yours or, I suspect, all instruments. Music is after all music and the process of improvisation is, at least to my simple mind, transferable. And to top it off, besides being a damn fine guitar player, I congratulate you one being an excellent communicator. Thank you!!

Are we not all jazz students struggling over the changes?...🤔🤯

This book is really brilliant at many levels. Explanation are simple but accurate and powerful (= things presented in the book can be used for real playing). Practicing melodic outlines intensively is a great way to know your fretboard in a musical way. Bonus : what you learn can be applied to any songs.

Very, very useful Good post

As soon as you said "It's hard to make music with guide tones" I thought "All the Things You Are" but you went there before I could write it in a comment. Good stuff!

Thank you very much Mikko for teaching us how to function within jazz standards ... which I have always dreamed of ... you have saved me hours and hours of guitar teachers, who never quite clarify where I am and where I am going in jazz. .. therefore your faithful followed and soon yours patreon

Man, your so cool. I would give you my old lamp and stuff.

I just treat "the long walk" as a daily meditation and stopped beating myself up for slow progess.

I wish I would be an advanced player in 30 years, lol!!! Mikko, thankl you for reducing this 30 years!!!

Great channel

Thanks so much and the video is very Clear! Ciao from Como.

Bert Ligon also has another book that deals with this as well called Comprehensive Technique for Jazz Musicians. Highly recommended. Check them out I'm sure you'll be impressed. I predict another video dealing with his books. Love your stuff Mikko. Keep it coming

Great stuff Mikko - bopscales is the way to go - since it sounds more like real music 🎶 👌. Keep it up Mikko 👍

Cool

Brilliant!

Apparently I have a long, long journey ahead of me. ;)

Break given, you should have said his name in Swedish. But I am from Europe too, so maybe it doesn't count?

Muy buena la lección. Muchas gracias.

A student of Bert Ligon’s pronounced the surname as Lig (rhymes with fig) and Gon as in the last syllable of polygon. The G was pronounced at both the end of the first syllable and at the start of the second. Whether this is how Mr. Ligon pronounces it, I don’t know.

thanks

All the things you Are .QUOTE nice

Hello, nice lesson. I am a classical guitarist about grade 6 level(Trinity College London). I saw so many books about jazz and as you can predict i am overwhelmed. My interest in pursuing jazz music would be to learn fingerstyle jazz as all the technique learned so far will be easily transfered to jazz playing technique wise. I read in the sample of the book jazz comprehensive training by the same author, he says that the three books that he has written will provide enough material to be a jazz musician what do you think? Could you suggest book so that i could start learning chords required for jazz music from fingerstyle approach. Sorry for writing so long......

Hi Mikko, would it be possible to play even Autumn leaves or Alone Together with just one Hand grip, like a m7 shape(3 strings???)

"common melodic outlines" explanation starts at 11:19

Always good to hear you.. do you have "The Serious Jazz Practice Book " by ex. Miles Davis guitarist Barry Finnerty ? If not check it out its a killer./Don

Hi Mikko from Colombia and Venezuela

Not nerds but jazz is about to expand not to stand on one things

Wow this is like the missing link

How can you tell which notes are guide tones in harmony?

Another scalewise exercises ...😅

..that guitar has too many pickgaurds on it...
