OMG. Nick - This is life changing. I feel like you just unlocked the door. Thank you so much for this. I now know how to practice over blues chord progressions, and how to really think about improvising. Much appreciated. Thanks!

Amazing how the 16th's sounds so bebop like! More please this is killer!

Very good approach to teach improvisation . I just picked up a trumpet last month while visiting in China, and just began to playing the instrument at 64 year. I wish I started earlier in life. But, there is a saying, " It is never too late"

It took me more than 20 years to "ear" and play that way !!!!!!!! Listening Bird and A.Holdsworth helped me a lot to "build" my inner ear and I feel "free" now from learning modes, licks etc...in my own way, I have no fear now of playing "wrong" notes which i realize today are not "wrong" but just a different manner of "talking" when playing. Searching is accepting to be "wrong" for there is no "right" way, playing music is complete Freedom. Thanks for this very high didactic vidéo

your series of lessons is probably the best I've seen on youtube: clear, useful and straight to the point. Keep up the good work! Can't wait for the pdfs and for the future videos.

ooohh I didn't want this lesson to end. I immediately jumped on my horn. Love that feeling. Great Content!

jazz duets is a GOLDEN channel. you are a treasure on YT. Thanks for sharing.

exactly what i'm looking for to add to my improv tooliit, thank you so much

This is fantastic. Well done. Teachers are going to love this. Bravo.

One of tbe hippest ways to develop and understand Jazz improvisation. I know there are many ways to develop but this by far takes you straight to the Kingdom of Heaven.

For a sec I forgot that "killing" was jazz slang and I thought this video was about how chromaticism in solos needed to be killed. I was about to just be all like "wtf dude chromatic stuff is cool"

Your visuals are amazing example of how teaching in future should look like!!!

This series is so deep. Literally a masters course for a lifetime of learning.

realized that i've been using these licks without knowing the concepts n theory, when it felt good, it's good. thank you for giving us the comprehensions! cheers

so the Pink Panther theme was in minor and 8th notes / quarter notes

Where’s the five star button. More insight in this than anything I have read seen or heard. Bravo!

Thanks, this is exactly what I was looking for, looking forward to seeing where this takes me, very useful stuff.

one of the most impressive jazz tutorials ever, thank's a lot!

These videos by Jazz Duets really stand out...Thanks for taking the time to put them together.

Finally! Someone explained this in a way I can understand. Thank you!

This seems like jazz being solved to me. Thank you!

Loving this approach to approach notes. A great way to jazz up arpeggio practice, keeping interest right the way through. Many thanks

This is a brilliant explanation!

this video is what i have wanted

Awesome! I'm actually drooling for the 2nd Part!

Just came across your videos and it’s EXACTLY WHAT IVE BEEN AFTER FOR DVER

Without doubt - superb lesson and beautifully produced - one of the best - thanks

Nick, eres increíble, en inglés y español. I wish music was taught in conservatories the same way you do it, that would be a game-changer!

Wow this jusy made me realize how to get that jazzy sound its not so much about arpeggios and scales but how you approach them . i can imagine you can build patterns as a tool to approaching chord tones.....OHHHHH MAN. This is why every time i play single notes i struggle to not sound like an exercise.

That's the best channel to learn music!

U blew open a wide range of musical possibilities to me. Would try this

Excellent Series !

this is great!! tnks a lot!! part two already? I cant wait for it!!

This is godsend for all visual learners

This video started like an informercial but it was indeed everything I needed

Bass Players: There´s a book called Chord studies for electric Bass that contains very similar approach-note exercises for every chord type, it´s worth looking into.

NICK!!!... "THANK YOU"!!! "MERCI BEAUCOUP"!! and "GRACIAS"... these are the sounds I have been looking for!!! The concepts you present here are "INVALUABLE"!!! I play guitar, and cannot wait to apply these principles to the fretboard. I know it's going to be a challenge, but so much FUN at the same time!!! WOWWWW!!! THANKS AGAIN FOR SHARING!!!😎

Amazing Video! En tout cas c'est super je vais "essayer" de reproduire cette methode sur ma guitare tout de suite

4:00 Oh so who was able to keep exercice without playing Pink Panther theme ? Minor chord tone chromatic approach ! ahaha thats so cool

The genius here is the simplicity. In nine minutes this video gave me understanding that has eluded me for 50 years. Thank you so much, Nick. (By the way, I'm not seeing Part 2. Still in the works?)

sounds great Ksaxman.

just WOW... this is a new dimension for me... my brain thanks you this enlightenment.

Excellently done.....with precision.

Nick, estas siendo una gran inspiración para mi! Gracias!!! Tus posts son tan claros, tan didácticos...y tu espiritualidad me conmueve también, gracias!!!

muy bueno Nick!

Expecting the Part 2 of this amazing video

Beautiful, my compliments! What a Saxsound too 👏👌👍🎼💞🎷💞🎼

I used to think that those old Mel Bay method books were engineered to keep you from ever being able to actually play an instrument! I know now that putting away the written and using your ear is absolutely essential to playing jazz.

Thank You friend!

2:56 it sounds so jucy *.* so good!

This is so helpful!
