This is the most intelligent thing I found on YT on this subject. I cannot thank you enough for posting this video.

this is game changing, the way you approach intervals is so easy to get and we can feel how they linked up. thank you so much

This is an explanatory and auditory masterpiece Nick. Thank You Brother!

For years I have tried to teach by emphasising a pentatonic core ... but you have in this simple structure emancipated every single chromatic step. The examples are clear, contextualised, and graded to allow easy absorption. Bravo!

Hands down the best blues lesson ever.

This method of looking at musical notes available to improvise with is so much better than concentrating on scales. Focus on the chord that is currently playing in the song, emphasize the 1, 3, 5 of that chord and throw in a sprinkling of all the other notes (b7, 6, 4, etc) that relate to that chord. I wish someone had taught me that years ago. Screw scales.

I’ve been playing and studying blues guitar for almost 30 years. This is by far the best demonstration I have seen or heard in all that time. Brilliant!

First I laugh. Then I listen, then I eat. Then I practice and play. I think I am in heaven!!!

This is the Best Jazz Blues Lesson!!!! I look forward to seeing how you improvise on a more complicated Jazz Blues Progression!!!! Thank You!!

For future videos, could you highlight whatever new note you've added so it's easier to spot/hear? Making one of the notes or "spices" bright red whenever you add them in would help out a lot I think

This is brilliant. Thank you for your work. I bought your book for my nephew who is just starting out. I wish someone had taught me like this when I was his age!

Blues Is Everything 💙💙💙 Jazz Duets 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

This is amazing material. Few people are teaching blues this good

holy smokes the "soul scale" one was HARD!

That is some really good pizza.. Thank you teacher!

I love pizza. I love The Blues. I loved this lesson. Congrats!!!

I love Blues, I love pizza, I love Jazz Duets!

Thanks a ton for putting this up. The lesson is excellent and easy to understand and by including the music on the screen I can play the examples myself and actually feel the lesson through my instrument as well as get some muscle memory going. Great content.

This is by far one of the most interesting things I have heard on youtube. I love that little rhythm you have going. I enjoyed your 1st pizza lesson. This one is even better because you tease the intervals enough for my tone deaf ears to hear the differences.

I always have to watch these multiple times, not just because you pack it full of great information but your playing is beautiful

You're a badass teacher!

Thank you so much for all these pedagogical tutorials. You're the best! Lots of regards from Mendoza.

What an incredible lesson brooo!!! I usually starving when I play blues but nooooow I’m just repeating the garlic!! Probably you will finally teach’s me how to play this Thamks

어려운 곡이지만 즐겁게 잘듣고 갑니다. 귀여운 악보입니다. 영상도 멋져요. 공부를 잘 하고 갑니다.

This one drew me into the Jazz Duets site and now I'm hooked-- such a logical application of intervals & improvisation over the eternal jazz/blues!!! thx N!!

Amazing content. I've been practicing solidly focusing on triads (1,3,5) and seventh chord tones (1,3,5,b7/7) pushing my soloing to a new level (I used to just stick to one scale previously and it just didn't seem to fit, especially on the changes). I like this video as it shows all the additional notes or flavours. I was sustaining b9 b3 #11 but prefer this method of just passing through these notes (stick on a b9 and your ears will hurt!) As these melodies are single note, this content really works excellently on guitar, so not just for the kewl kats with wind instruments.

the ones who disliked are the ones who couldn't take the taste of that bluesy pizza! loooove your vidssss... I will look forward for more

Nice analogy with the food choices, I already use the soul scale which you’ve shared. I think I’ll try the pineapple. Thanks

like a gold

This is an outstanding lesson: thank you. I appreciate the metaphor but I'm especially blown away by the quality of the examples. Even the simple examples are truly musical... I'm going to study this deeply, as I struggle with playing flashy licks (badly) and need to get back to basics.

awesome video

This video fills in some gaps. Prior to this video, I was transcribing the examples you played in your video titled, "How to Improvise on a Simple Blues - Method". I wanted to see what rhythms you were playing for each of the "pizza ingredients". Now I see you presented the sheet music for each example in this newer video. Fantastic, thank you!

A small suggestion: please put the count "aand 3 4..." at the beginning of each exercise: it helps a lot for all of us that play each one many, many times. Y muchas gracias desde México. Eres un gran maestro.

You're fucking great. I've played for over 15 years without any lessons.. Just trying to read and listen as much a possible. I'll buy as much stuff from your self as possible in the near future.. Just need to get back into the street to play and get some money first! Keep it up man, your teaching style gels really well with a lot of people. ... And you have a really clean and tasty tone!

Food for my brain

Going over it one note at a time was really helpful!

Creative and amazing teaching method

this is unexpectedly profoundly helpful. I thought the title was clickbait at first.

Gran vídeo, excelente clase de Blues 🎶👍🇵🇷

Thank You:)

A m a z i n g work, thank you so much, you rules ! C heers from France !

Very interesting on basically how to use all the chromactic notes but with careful use to create the perfect bluesy taste. Great one, thanks !

Cada vez q lo veo aprendo y me encnata la buena onda que me transmite. Gracias Nick!!

Just what I needed now my man, I love your content a lot :)

Crystal clear and informative as usual! You are an excellent teacher and muso!

Greetings from Mar del Plata, Buenos aires.

Fabuloso

5:52 “...hey what’s up guys its Jay from better sax here”

Awesome lesson Nick! But, I am sooooo hungry now!! :D But seriously, thank you! -JoJo

ha! love it, got me hungry

Saludos mr. Nick!.

After this lesson I understand why Fruit Loop Studio so popular because music contain many ingredients

What a brilliant video

The sharp 4 is okay but I like the flat 5th better

I want to learn saxophone so bad.

Thank you very much for the video! I really like the Rhythmically of your playing from this video! Do you have any videos about rhythm training posted? Thank you very much again!

cool!!!!

Really love the idea of connecting food ingredients and notes; really loved the concept of using all 12 notes of the chromatic scale, but in an orderly fashion and i also dug the concept of doing microtonal 3rds between minor and major. Yet, one question remains unanswered : I really love the guitar parts, anything to say about these ?

Thanks for teaching the secret of Blues and how to improvise. Do you know where I can buy the teaching methods

Nice analogy! An italian would never use the b6 though (pineapple) 😂

The only thing I can say is thank you Diego La Spezia Italy

"The root should not bet underestimated" . Many other tutors say so often : "Never begin Your phrases on the root". Who is right ? I don't know...

Hola, en 14:05 pusiste Db como 9m en lugar de Cb, gracias por el video!

hey Nick this Patrick from Melbourne Australia,can i play this on tenor. Im a beginner

Watching whilst eating pizza (crappy Danish pizza unfortunately ☹️).

7:22 Limiting ourselves to these 3 notes 1 3 5 & 6?

And then we will add the wolf fifth Pineapple appears

Is this playing on mouthpiece..? ..think about color of timbre...

Como faço para pagar e receber aqui no Brasil?

What's a sickth?

As far as I understand, your usage of the minor 3rd is always kind of chromatic approach for the major 3rd, not as a stand alone color. Also in your soul scale videos you never play the major 3rd before the minor 3rd. Correct?

Are the notes relative to the key or the chord ?

Oh yeah, great stuff again! Deciphered all but this, kzfaq.info/get/bejne/mr2am8eCyc2nnWg.html , now I've only got to practise and come up to speed and you will have enriched my language.

This is amazing!, how are these ingredients on a minor blues ?

Egg on pizza dear god he’s mad
