In this lesson I show some of the key features of John Scofields guitar playing and some ways to work on developing these in ones own playing. The idea of this lesson is not to try to clone Sco, rather to draw peoples attention to some important aspects of his playing and to use these to create your own thing.

🎸 Nick Granville proudly used Ibanez Guitars.
This video was shot in 4K using the panasonic GH4 and converted to 1080p for KZfaq. In my opinion the GH4 is the best camera on the market for guitar videos, due to it's highly detailed picture and lack of Moire / aliasing issues ( a major problem on my 600d). I'm not paid to say this, I just dig this camera.

If you were ever looking for a take-down of the trope "those who can't do...teach" this is the video to watch!! Beautifully produced, directed and, more importantly, structured and thought-out, this guy gives you more "real information" than you are likely to find in most any other other videos. THANK YOU brother!! I have had the honor & pleasure to perform and record with your fellow countrymen Ian Cooper (violin) and Joshua Boyd (guitar) and I TRULY hope you all get to collaborate in the not to distant future! Great things are happening down under!!!!!!!!

Marc Packard Thanks. Appreciate your comment. I've always hated that idea of people teaching who can't do it themselves. It's lame. My saying is those who can't do, shouldn't teach. Ha. It's been ages since I've seen Josh but i'd be keen to collaborate with him sometime. Dual guitar sounds like fun. Cheers

what i like the most of scofield is his ability to let the blues licks sound out of context or even off. he improvises modal and suddenly out of nowhere he throws in some blues stuff but never in a way that it sounds like bunch of licks and phrases he just pins on. it all sounds very fluid and fresh. nice vid, u got my sub:D

Outstanding. The most insightful take on Sco's playing I've seen, ( & I've seen many!) I've seen his show twice-once in a trio w/ Bill Stewart,the other was the Uberjam band- his ability to make his style work in such a wide range is just astounding. Preaching to the choir,I know-- Glad I stumbled onto your video,you've really got a handle on him. Great work. I'll be looking at more of your stuff!

@paulmichaelsmith3207 9 жыл бұрын

Love your lessons, Nick, much appreciated. You really break things down quite well yet you keep it simple enough to comprehend and cop, be it Sco or Ford, etc. One thing I learned from Mike Stern and he emphasizes lot and is quite useful (you allude to this too, so props) is playing vertically. Practicing scales and such that way really opens your ears and helps one play more fluidly on the neck. It's big with that Berklee crowd. So again, thanks and keep 'em coming.

@NickGranville 9 жыл бұрын

Thanks Paul Michael Smith, I trying to keep things as simple as possible. Mike has said the same to me too. He's big on that vertical approach as is Sco, Metheny and others. I think they were all turned onto that stuff from Mick Goodrick who taught all those guys at Berklee. Have you seen the book The Advancing Guitarists that Mick Goodrick wrote? He talks about the single string approach in that. I found it really useful. Cheers

@paulmichaelsmith3207 9 жыл бұрын

Yeah, I think Goodrick was a big influence with all of them. I know the book and it's great but to be honest I can only digest a bit of it at a time till my brain hurts. The inside out approach. Then there's the Charlie Banacas (sp.) method Mike employs; approach notes from scales and chords, etc. Mike's such a great player and overall good guy. Just talking with guys like that you can't help but learn. Very glad I stumbled across your stuff. Keep up the good work! PM.

Great stuff. Seriously. I hear the major 7th thing for sure, as well as tritones, and in particular, min6 arpeggios (without the fifth). He is big on intervallic playing in general, of course. One style thing of his that is very distinctive is his vibrato (or a bend) that ends in something of a string choke. He also does volume swells now and then. He has a ton of tricks in his bag, but he always swings, always plays musically, and is often restrained so much as to be a musical tease. I remember rewinding one of his solos on the _Blue Matter_ album because just as he seemed to be catching fire, the solo ended! Sco and Metheny have been huge influences for me.

@NickGranville 6 жыл бұрын

Cool. Agreed. One thing I always loved about sco’s playing is he never seemed to play the same thing twice. Like the guitar was a true extension of him, speaking

Hi Nick. Great video. It seems you have modified the controls on your JSM100. Could you explain what has been modified and why? Thank you.

@NickGranville 6 жыл бұрын

Thanks, I’ve removed one vol and tone control. I like the simpler controls. I’ve moved the pickup selector to where the volume control was and the now master volume closer. I ride the volume control at times. Other for easier access. Other than this the rest of the guitar is stock.

@gdrb1397 9 жыл бұрын

Thank you for posting your insights on Sco's style. Interesting tone/volume mods of his signature model. Do you find the instrument to be more usable to you with less controls? What significant tone implications have you found by reconfiguring the knobs & selector? I think that at least the look of the guitar has improved by showing more wood work to say the least.

@NickGranville 9 жыл бұрын

Hi Gabriel. Thanks for your comment. I have my tech do this mod to all my guitars that have 2 vol controls, not for tonal reasons, more that I find the simpler controls easier to deal with. I change pickups quite a lot on gigs, often within one tune. I find that 2 volume controls often results in an annoy volume change when switching the pickups - with one volume this isn't an issue. I hadn't thought about the looks, but I think you are right: it does look better showing more wood.

Thanks! Yes, you are right, that is the 5th to the #11. I guess I meant it's a 7th interval, and tripped up on my words. Glad you liked this and thanks for checking it out. Cheers

Great video, very hepfull, how about his pick palming technique, have you covered that? I just found you. Thanks so much.

@NickGranville 6 жыл бұрын

Hey! Thanks man. Yeah, there is plenty more I should cover, probably about time I did a part 2 of this video

@@NickGranville please do a part two - yours is by far the best introductory breakdown of scofield’s playing. If you could explain his technique when palming the pick and getting those lovely warm bends and little moments of screaming hornlike notes that would be awesome. thanks!!

One thing i would add is the way he strums, particularly the difference distances he strums from the bridge to change the tone.

@NickGranville 9 жыл бұрын

Hi Oliver Morgan. Thanks for this. Yes, there are many things I haven't covered in this video, including his strumming style. Maybe I should do a part 2?

Great lesson Nick! I'm gonna take a few of those melodic ideas and workshop them :) Keep posting more of this stuff! Any plans to examine other musos (other than guitarists) that have helped shape your playing? Fave horn players? drummers?

@NickGranville 9 жыл бұрын

Charmaine Ford good idea. I often find other instrumentalists more inspiring than guitarists - especially drummers - so I should cover that at some stage. More to come soon! Cheers

If you have any other ideas for content Charmaine Ford do let me know! It's a big help, as sometime I can't think of what might be useful to people. Cheers :) xxx

Wow, incredible lesson. Thank you Nick! Do you have a lot of gain on the amp to keep the volume so high on the hammer ones? It seems you are using a really light touch.

@NickGranville 8 жыл бұрын

+JasonFiske thanks! I run the amp loud and play light. That way the tone is fat and you have more dynamic range to work with. I like to set the amp to the point of just at break up and use pedals to kick it over if needed. I use a volume pedal that I ride a lot..
