I have a couple of his other books. And they come with videos of each exercise. They're really good. I've learned more off him than anyone else.

@@brandonmalone1893 Yeah I'm actually more of an upright bass player now typically than electric, even though I started with electric, but I find a lot of his stuff very interesting and inspiring!

Where did u get it from coz i also need it yeap.

the ideas translate to every instrument

The point is actually never to think about theory ever. That is never more important than when you're improvising. But the assessment of an altered scale being the 7th mode of the melodic minor is accurate. It's not altered AS a melodic minor, but altered as the 7th mode of the melodic minor. Big difference. And yes, the Db does function as a 4th/11th. A sharp 11th or flat 5th, and the Eb functions as a flat 13th. But it's all academic. Literally. If one can't play and doesn't know what to do with it, and hasn't immersed themselves in the sound of this harmony and melody before, it's a bit of a waste of time discussing it. To me it's a bit of waste of time discussing period until you're operating on a performance level where using this sound is a natural extension of your playing.

@@janekgwizdala Thanks for answering, I appreciate you taking the time! Putting the indeed-academic debate aside, I guess my problem is I am not on your level and I DO need to think about it academically, until I get to the level I am fluent in it. Similar as to how when I learned spanish, I would try to note etymological similarities to english (the spanish "cantar" is similar to "chant" in english). That would give some foundation to my learning, until I got fully fluent at which point I don't need any tricks to remember the word. Similarly here -- do you have any tips on how to get fluent in a new concept without starting from an academic standpoint?

@@crapadopalese My advice is to do the exact opposite of what it sounds like you're doing. You're purposely going into the process trying to add things to your thought process, when the only thing that matters (if you want to be a fluent speaker/performer) is the connection of your ear to your instrument. And the only way you do that is from constant immersion in the music you want to play, transcription of that music (regardless of whether you notate it or not), and then repetition of the vocabulary you transcribe, eventually putting it into musical context and performing with others. If you have to think about theory and academia when you're trying to perform, the performance will never be honest. The less things in the chain between your ear and your instrument, the more pure the performance. If you HAD to think about Cantar being like Chant every time you wanted to use the word, it would take you days to have a conversation that should take 5 minutes. That is memory. What you're looking for is knowing, not remembering.

KZfaq algorithm is secretly listening to us all :)

I don't wear a tin foil hat, but I do think people are listening to us... just too many coincidences of advertising these days. 😳

Hahaha me too!

100%..it happens to me all the time. Too much to be coincidence

Yep. Makes you wonder....Do you have Alexa.? ... or maybe Algorithm or who knows. Sometimes I am thinking of a song and it gets played on radio and it is not a rotation thing.

Is there no Amazon in Singapore?

@@janekgwizdala It says "this item could not be shipped to your selected delivery location" *sob*

Exactly the same for Spain ☹️☹️

@@eduruano Crazy that it's not available in those countries right now... It might just be a question of time, and that it's a brand new book. Could need a few days to propagate to the various Amazon outlets around the world.

@@janekgwizdala it is already available 😉

👍

He's really intense! Looks like he's been working out and going real hard at it like he probably does with anyrhing he does.

@@terrimac7993 It's a CGI..

As is your right. But quite why, like the rest of the youtube commenters on earth, you feel the need to advertise your negative feelings to the world, is beyond me. If it was that bad, why take the time to be an asshole in the comments? Why not move on with your day, and find someone who doesn't talk as much? Or maybe, JUST maybe, you could not be the product of all social media, and regain an attention span longer than 2 minutes, and actually learn something. Music doesn't happen in 2 minutes, it happens over many decades. So rather than looking for the shortest route to what you think the answer might be, take the video for what it is: a relatively minor fraction of some decades. Also, if you're going to apologize before telling me something I did sucks, why comment in the first place? pick a lane.
