😂 happens to the best of us! Thanks for watching Marc!

Glad you liked it!

It’s very useful! Thanks for watching!

Appreciate that Bill! Thanks for watching!

Well I suppose Miles has opinions, but it’s probably a good skill to have in order to play jazz

Hey thanks so much! I'm also striving for clarity in my teaching, so I'm glad that is coming through. Make sure to check out the etude at the end for more exercises with this concept!

This is because I am using the altered tones of the dominant chord for the line closers. The first half of the lesson I cover line closers off the normal chord tones of G7, then the second half I talk about the ones off the altered tones being b9 (Ab) #9 (Bb) b5 (Db) #5 (D#). Hope that helps! I personally enjoy the altered one as it creates more of a pull to the one chord than the normal ones, but sound more tense

Thanks . I just hadn’t watched far enough into the video.

Thanks Keith!!

Glad to hear that!

Thanks! Happy to help :)

It’s a phrase that I use on some video thumbnails to draw in viewers. It’s simply a marketing tool. It’s worked very well on pervious videos, so I kept using it. As someone who is actually trying on KZfaq marketing is key. I’m always looking for better ways to package the videos Because I believe my content is worth it. Sorry the thumbnail offend you… but I’d encourage to watch what this video has to offer! Triads are such a useful tool!

Thanks Steve! I know you have been follow the channel for awhile, and I really do appreciate your support. Glad that I can help you on your musical journey!

Hey Adam, such a honor to have you check out the channel! Really respect your playing, thanks so much :)

Hi Danny, thanks for your kind words! I acually don't use an amp but rather a pre-amp that goes straight into my DAW via DI. I use the golden age mkiii! I have a link in the video description if your interested in purchasing one!

Much appreciated! Thanks!

Thank you so much!!

hmmm sorry you feel that way! I suppose people have different definitions of melodic. I consider melodic when people take a motif and develop it in their solo (like Jim hall) and like this video teaches. I hope your musicality is still in tact!

@@NathanBortonMusic I like how you attempted to make a link between Jim Hall and this video.. when Jim Hall was a melodic wizard but your line was one of the most unmelodic things I have ever heard played on a guitar. It jarred me so badly I had to stop the video immediately.

@@godzoo18 Well I got the idea from Jim Hall’s masterclass linked in the video description. In the video he goes over a tune that he wrote over the changes to “Someday My Prince Will Come.” He talks about taking a note cell and moving it around through the changes. I doubt you watched my whole video since you hated it so much but I literally do the same thing as Jim did on his contrafact. Now my application of it will not sound like Jim, it sounds like me because I have my own voice but the process is the same. Honestly I’m happy my playing moved you so much!

You make it very clear as always, thanks for your video !

@@NathanBortonMusic Sorry I could not go further into your video. That first part was more than I could bare. One can not just sling any old group of notes together and call it a melodic line. There are certain aesthetic rules or even mathematical or universal rules on note choice, note order and placement etc that differentiate an inately exquisite moment of sheer auditory joy from an jagged, angular, jarring, not well thought out or wrecklessly archetectually designed piece of torture. I guess that's what seperates the men from the boys and people like Jim Hall from everyone on Youtoob..

I think my voice is probably just stupid 🤷

Because it is a practiced skill to speak interestingly without that up down effect

I don’t know how much theory Wes knew. However, transcribing his solos you see him use these sounds a lot! So wether he knew the theory or not, we knew playing A-7 over D-7 sounded the way we liked, which is why this video exists (for us mortals who can’t hear like Wes)

Glad you liked it!

switch to jazz. then theres no wrong notes

Aw man, thanks so much!

Thanks! If you look on the channel I have done a couple videos centered around solo guitar. I'm search if you search "Nathan Borton solo guitar lesson" they will come up :)

Hi! I'm using the benedetto bravo deluxe. Such a great instrument!

Appreciate that :) hope this video helps you in your musical journey!

Really appreciate the support :)

Thanks so much!

Hope it helps!

So happy to help!

Hope it helps you!
