this channel is a hidden gem please dont ever stop making these videos
Thanks so much! I'm definitely planning to continue... really, I'm just getting started.
Awesome video, I play guitar but love all your ideas here.
Thanks so much. Yes, these ideas can be really useful for guitar.
Thank you but no, listen to Dave Grusin The Firm
Thanks for the comment! I don't really understand the comparison, though... The Firm is a composed piece of music with zero improvisation; I'm teaching people to improvise.
@@roberthodson It's in the way you build the sound czcams.com/video/0MQ8RxSiMlQ/video.html
@@roberthodson It's is the way you build the sound, listen to Ray's Blues by Dave Grusin from The Firm
@@karaoke6861 Also a very nice recording, but it's not the style I'm teaching; I'm teaching an approach to jazz blues that is based more on Bud Powell and Barry Harris than Ray Charles - different style, sound, textures, rhythmic approach, aesthetics. You obviously prefer the Ray Charles style -- good for you, buddy. I'd rather listen to Ray Charles directly, though, over Grusin's polished, composed, studio approach.
@@roberthodson Your style is a kind of jazzify western piano bar, don't forget to teach how to play with feeling
