You seem to be the only one on KZfaq jazz who explains that critical Barry Harris idea “Any note can be the chromatic”. It’s gold!! Thanks, Jens.

Thanks Jens 🤒 I look forward to reviewing this video (as usual). When I work on composing lines, I write short phrases out on manuscript - then play them on guitar. That's good for a lot of reasons but it helps to keep me focussed on (trying to) sound like Jazz / Be Bop. I look forward to the day when I have more vocabulary. I pay close attention to notation in your videos (I hate tab) to see what's going on. When I read my own notation it helps me to see if I'm learning / practicing / playing appropriately in Jazz / Be Bop style(s). If I didn't do this, it would be so easy to slip back into Pub Rock / Blues guitarist habits. Take two (2 x 500mg) paracetamol tablets at night before bed. Electrolyte drinks to keep your fluids up. Chicken soup with lots of garlic too.
@artompkins7958 Жыл бұрын
“I hate tab” - I am with you on that, man. I try to completely ignore it everywhere I see it. There are a few times when it gives some instruction on where maybe somebody decided the best place to play on the neck was, but usually best to come to your own solution on that. I have plenty of my own transcripts where I’ve penciled in positions on the neck and maybe fingerings, but I was brought up in the world of standard clefs, key/time signatures, etc, and still by far the best way to write down music.
@kevindonnelly761 Жыл бұрын
@@artompkins7958 I've seen notation in Jazz texts where position is marked by number - e.g. 7p. for seventh position, 9p. for ninth position and so on. String numbers are marked with a number in a circle. There are a few other playing techniques that go along with this to help play / fret what you read. It makes tab unnecessary. Also, people can use one or more of the scale systems like 3NPS, Berklee or whatever.

this is kind of the area im working on a lot lately i got the theory beaten into my head now its this type of stuff. i think of it in terms of melodic contour and rhythmic contour. please make another video going into more of this material for long lines. for example im working on lines for {C6} {F#dim7} {Dmin7} {Bdim7} that repeats and cascades through descending drop2 voicings using voice leading and applying the type principles to make melody out of it you suggested in this video here.
