Hello! Thanks for watching!

Thank you!

A serious but funny way to go about developing a sensitivity to this is something I found in a Biography on John Coltrane, and in one of the Transcriptions, John plays the same lick, like a Charlie Parker lick, but he starts it on progressively later beats in the measure as he plays it throughout the Tune. Like starting on the & of One, then the & of Two then the & of Three, each time a certain Two-Five is played. So, you're not just learning a lick, but learning how it sounds in different parts of the measure. Now, Why this is Important is because of Acoustics. If you play a Chord on the piano and hold down the pedal, different notes get louder over time, so each note of the lick has a different note of the chord as an undertone. Instead of Harmonizing a lick four different way, Like Jacob Collier, you use the Expanding harmony of One Chord, which against the Rhythmic Displacement of the Lick acts like four different harmonization's. Targeting the same beat with the same notes won't teach you much because your Mind is already a Library of Great Music that it can assemble in any way It likes, depending on your Mood. And that Basic Information that People Insist you have to learn first, . . . Your Subconscious Mind already Knows all that stuff and you will just bore it to Tears, and it will refuse to help you create! It is only interested in Creating something New which it does all by itself without any effort. Your mind doesn't do this with Poetry. You never hear a Poet complaining that they can't seem to be able to Write all the "Great Poetry they Hear in their Head". You yourself don't have to think out each word you are going to say before you say it. Even Wes Montgomery told my guitar teacher Tim Hadyn, when he was at Berklee, that He could never play what he heard in his Head. What people Like Charlie Parker meant when they talk about thinking ahead is really just anticipating the chord Changes, not planning out a lick. If you experiment with the above idea, you'll see how just that simple changing of beat changes the effect of a lick and you'll start to develop an affinity to both Melody and Meter. Something people don't talk about much, but Meter in Poetry is more Important than Rhyme.

Thanks for the feedback! Will try to make adjustments.

Great lesson! 👍 I don't think the guitar sounded bad but I did hear the warmth dissolve a bit on single note lines - also, are you using flat wound strings?? It kinda sounds like they buzzed like round wounds...nope, i listened again and they sound like flats🤷‍♂️ just a very bright guitar. Great lesson tho! I'm one of those guys from a rock background that always tends to approach solos scalularly. This helps.

@@HarlanHarvey76 Yes, that's when I noticed it - on the single notes. The chords sounded OK.

Pretty sure thats right lol

That arpeggio is dm7, that's the 3rd of the chord and if you play that arpeggio over a Bb major chord it also sounds amazing
