Thanks pal! Glad you’re getting something out of it!

I'm a jazz novice as well but this kind of anti-intellectualism is just as snobby as that which you purport to find irritating . And apparently you are the arbiter of just how much 'blablabla' is acceptable . You may wish to ponder just how far you are in your own colonic journey . Just sayin' !

Haha not a word I’d use to describe myself but thanks for the boost buddy!

Thanks pal! Which show were you at?

@@SteveDownExeterGuitarLessons I had only watched you in a youtube video. Never got any chance to watch you playing live.

Thanks Sean!

(I know you have patreon, but im not currently in the best financial state as a student. But i would definitely subscribe, maybe later in the year) cheers :)

Thanks pal. No worries I know it's a tough time right now for a lot of people. Are you asking about how to comp along to the backing track during the solo?

Yeah, basicly. Just some examples and patterns that i can mix and match that fit this kind of a song.

Thanks for correcting me on this!

@@SteveDownExeterGuitarLessons ..... he said through gritted teeth .

Hahaha primary school flash backs

Yup I talk too much 😂

Thanks for this. Good question Tom! I didn't mention this in the video but in the head I would argue there is a very vague hierarchy as the sequence always starts on Gm7 and repeats but not a hierarchy like there is in conventional harmony such as a ii - V - I. However when you get to the solo there is no hierarchy at all. If you listen to Red Garlands accompanying he is moving around a lot of chords within the G Dorian mode so not always sticking to the Gm7 - Am7 - Bbmaj7 etc sequence. The way we distinguish whether it is in G Dorian is by listening to Cannonball's playing. In my second video you'll see a breakdown of the notes he is favouring which are mostly G, Bb, D, F and E. So he is outlining a Gm7 and then crucially he is highlighting an E which points towards the approach being dorian. If he played an Eb he would be pointing towards G Aeolian/Natural Minor. Hope that makes sense! Feel free to email me with more questions info@exeterguitarlessons.com or just comment on here again if you want me to expand more. Cheers!

Sounds like you have a good work around. But some finger stretch exercises using scales or arpeggios will help you to improve your reach. Try also to manoeuvre your thumb so your fingers open out. Are you asking about composing solo or head modally?

@@SteveDownExeterGuitarLessons I appreciate your answer! there were 2 things... that I play the melody of the song with the fifth string open and it sounds incredible to me! and the second, ideas to compose modally... thank you very much!

A Aeolian. A B C D E F G A

Hahaha that is a painting of my mini Dachshund with headphones on

@@SteveDownExeterGuitarLessons No. I think it is the bottom of pendulum clock that is just in the frame :)

Thanks for your feedback Mike. There are a lot of people that enjoy lessons with lots of explaining but equally there are lots out of people who don’t. Thanks for highlighting this is one with explaining. Next time try to be more kind with your feedback though 👍
