      Also a little depressing 😕 ...
      How 🤔 ever far you are on the guitar 🎸.
      There is also so much more to learn ...
      It s an endless yourney.
      And my nature is I like to be able to finish 😌 something.

      He dropped out of berklee after first two years. He then toured with Gary Burton, who at the time was the Dean of Berklee. Lol.

    • @eternalrainbow-cj3iu
      @eternalrainbow-cj3iu Před 4 lety +2

      I am a fan of Rosen winkel too, but after a solo of Scofield, I thnink it is difficult to not get pale after a few bars, dynamically and rythmically Rosen winkel being a genius still has got somthing to learn from Scofield, choise of note harmonic feel etc etc makes him already great player...

    • @eternalrainbow-cj3iu
      @eternalrainbow-cj3iu Před 4 lety

      also listen to last tune of scofield-stern there stern trys to immitate scofield, it is realy strange to see him loose his style at that moment, I think Alan Holdsworth John Scofield and Alan Holdsworth are most renewers,

  • @Dylan96n
    @Dylan96n Před 2 lety +5

    Attended a masterclass with this guy about 5 years ago when I was 19. Completely changed how and what I practiced and what I do as a guitar player and composer. He basically called everyone out for not knowing what exactly the major scale can do. He has a great ear and knows what’s he’s talking about but he always keeps it simple in the most complex way.

    • @FlaxeMusic
      @FlaxeMusic Před 2 lety +3

      Guitar teacher here. You know this now already from experience but, so many people skirt the more involved major scale stuff thinking they know it all, but there's just so many ways to milk it you can never truly say you do. Barry Harris did the same, un-egoic verbal beatdown followed by demonstration of the difference between someone with true control.
      You hit the nail on the head with that last sentence, to kind of elaborate I think the route to that level requires a firm handle on fundamentals of permutation, from there you're making use of powers (the mathematical exponents kind) to compound your options, like a tree that grows from seed and bifurcates it's branches over time- If you know the major scale everywhere you can form any kind arrangement of chord and generate the rest of the chord scale by moving along the scale degrees. The part that takes the lions share of time is finding some way to manage all the branches and options you gather and put it to work making real music. That's a question I'd love to dig into Kurts mind on, but he'd probably just say it play it a bunch until you have one way to play it then keep playing it.

  • @mikikomurdoch5985

    Highly technical stuff that only a handful of accomplished musicians can afford to experiment, and Kurt makes it sound so damn beautiful!! I like the Latin stuff he does with Caipi a lot, but also appreciate this type of inner space he creates with his music. Thanks for sharing this!

  • @rjadavis5865
    @rjadavis5865 Před 6 lety +4

    I never hear this fella 1 time before yesterday, i watch the way he patiently plays, smooth effortless beautiful guitar work, I knew I was going to emulate his patience, I had some weakness and pain big time in my fret hand so playing with the smooth, graceful finger work was perfect for bridging some major obstacles, instead of losing time being unable to play harder. faster. as I was doing at the time, I can rehab atleast my fret arm wrist shoulder, bicep, elbow.

    Some of this comment section is just disgusting. This is expression that stretches tradition and honours it at the same time.
    If you want to hear “Stella” then listen to the fucking original. The harmonic and melodic information is there. If this is your reaction to this piece of art then stop calling yourself a jazz fan.
