I watch your videos for two reasons: 1. Knowledge and inspiration 2. Therapy Thank you for all you do

This is just what I needed as a Fusion Jazz guitarist. Back to the basics and focus. Thanks for the lesson.

@skineyemin4276 Жыл бұрын

Actually, the basics for fusion players would be getting into bebop and hard bop, then learn those. Not skipping through all of that and going straight into fusion.

Thanks. This and the"Resolution" meditation exercise has brought me full circle, to my youth. When I practiced every lick I got off records or where ever.until it was in my vocabulary. Information was scarce then if you could not afford a good teacher and or did not know what a good teacher was. But there were gigs and the opportunity to play what you knew. You had to develop nerves of steel just to play improvised solos in whatever kind of group you were in . and you had to progress and or keep on the move to at least hear your self in different contexts. Don't give up!

These are great sounds....but the notechoices are fairly simple...On maj7 chords you play maj-pentatonic from the 5th (you can also start the maj-p on the 2nd-> lydian#11 sound)...on the sus-chords you play maj-p from the 7th... it is the mind that is the limiting factor...(at least mine ;-) to change from one to the other...as always very (!) inspiring content...thanx a lot for that...stay well

this is rather too deep things to practice in terms of jazz improvisation however, imho in my 20s I don't feel it's necessary. nevertheless, I won't wonder if I change my mind in 20 more years

@davidjordan5175 4 жыл бұрын

I am 62 years old. Tomorrow I celebrate 40years of "no day job". The easiest way to find adequate time to practice was to play music for a living . I encourage you to use these resources . there are less gigs of any kind now,but way more practice resources. What ever you truly ingrain in your mind is the basis of your future. when you attain the ability to work/improvise from a hypnotic/trance state you will have very little awareness of the content. In order to trust your self you have to take Charlie Parker,Trane, all of the Masters seriously ." Learn every thing you can, and then forget it on the band stand. You are fortunate to have these resources.USE THEM NOW!

@@davidjordan5175 I struggle practicing while working in a non musical environment for a living and I can't just leave saxophone, I love jazz so much during the lockdown this is the best time to continue practicing more.

@unfinished93 4 жыл бұрын

@@davidjordan5175 also, improvising on a melody instead of harmony is a great achievement I believe. like Lester and Bird did, this is a very hard to achieve thing but I'm leaning toward it with all my nature of loving jazz and hope one day I'll find the approach to express my thoughts through a melody without a singe unnecessary note. for now, there are many unnecessary notes ahead

@unfinishedx this exercise displayed in the video will give you greater intimacy on your musical lines, this will allow you to make much more cleaner less risk “in the moment” decision making at higher bpms. This then grants you the ability to avoid the pitfalls of dry rote regurgitation (from your collection of licks/riffs). Hopefully I explained this well. It is a more profound exercise in nature but has true benefits.
