I almost turned this video off immediately because the volume seemed low on your mic. Wow am I glad I maxed my volume and watched because it turns out that didn’t really understand how to write/modify chromatic enclosures until you explained it. You’re awesome 🙌🙏

When I was young I tried to get a jazz guitar teacher to show me this kind of thing to help make my solos more interesting but he either didn't know how or just refused and wanted me to learn tons of theory that wasn't computing since I'm self taught from records by ear. I can get mileage from simple concepts like this. Thanks and wish I could have found you decades ago!

You have managed to cover such a wealth of information into 12 mins! As a former teacher your teaching style is excellent! Comprehensive content, excellent flow of delivery, obviously well planned and easily understood and put into practice at the level for which it was designed......I’m sure these sessions have caused quite a few to consider online private lessons with you! .....Myself included!.....Great work!

That was quite an insightful look at how to demystify the effective use of transforming an arpeggio into a beautiful sounding jazz line. Well explained and all that's needed is practice 👏 can be mastered in about a week. Great lesson 👍 thanks.

Finally! Your break down and explanation of the approach is great. Most jazz musicians go way too fast and leave things out that they assume the student already knows. That was very chill and you didn't leave anything out. Kudos! Looking forward to checking out your other videos.

The rounds on my acoustic seem to give my fingers a bit more 'grab'. Thanks.

Greetings from Zambia? Some people are naturally born to make life easier. And because of this vid, I will start again to learn Jazz. Had stopped because my Danish friend, and coincidentally my boss at work, used to say negative things about Jazz. That it is for people who like to show off and boast. After a few hiccups of trying and lack of progress. I had stopped. But have just realised that I had stopped due to a combination of bad teaching from great Jazz players but who are bad teachers + negative vibes from my boss/friend. Have watched this video 9 times and practiced every part of it like 5 times or more and I think I am on track. Not quite like you, Maestro Chris, but enough for me and my boss to recognise the lines (close to yours) from what I recorded myself earlier (Nearly there). Bless you...sincerely, your newest subscriber...
