Literally the tastiest guitarist out there.
So tell us how he tastes.
@@mooseymoose Ahhh well played!
@@mooseymoose it’s like saying because the speech has no “figure” we can’t use figure of speech
maybe cc deville then mick mars then Jack
Love the misuse of the word literally
Never seen that one before
To be honest 95% of guitar or amp reviews or even lessons I come across are
pretty much unlistenable. Mindless noodling and too much distortion. So what a breath of fresh air to discover Jack's channel. It's as if he thinks about the notes
and how they will melodically relate to the other notes before he plays them.
Reminds me of Robben Ford. Glad I discovered this awesome channel.
No one breaks out of the blues with style like Jack!
bro you energy is so calm, I just wanna listen
Wow. After years of searching and confusion, I finally found MY teacher. Great work…
This chap is giving away all of the alchemists of jazz secrets. He'll be chucked out of the Magic Circle (of Fifths) for sure lol
Man, you inspire me to play more everyday. Your style of teaching is so humble and gentle and my brain is just getting filled with new concepts. I've been going through your lessons and practicing the last few months and I can truly say I'm a better player for it. Thanks my friend!
That's great to hear! Thank you!
Agreed
Very rarely do I audibly say ‘ooooh’ when watching a CZcams guitar lesson, but I did it several time in this lesson. Jack, you are awesome and I’m glad I found your channel.
Love that!
Jack is such a tasteful, deliberate player. Very refreshing.
This guy is just plain SMOOTH ! I probably fall asleep if taking lessons from him, but being in many rock cover bands , it sometimes nice to go back to the basics !
Marshall Ohio: This stuff isn't exactly "the basics", at least as far as rock & roll is concerned. It's jazz theory, and not part of your average (or, in some cases, much better than average) rock guitarist's vocabulary.
Really great stuff you do, totally inspiring. Thanks for all of it.
So good! Such a great sound!!
I'm so happy I found your channel, I'm a fan of your playing!
best instructor and content on the net hands down
Hi Jack..what's up
Once again you have laid out the roadmap I've always wanted. Brilliant playing and teaching, brother!
Wow. Thank you so much
We love you jack 👍🏻 your playing so fenomenal keep up dude
Jack, that's true gold! Such a well explained and tasteful played concept! Never stop exploring! Thank you!
Terrific! Thanks.
Thanks Jack. Brilliant as always!
Thank you Stephen!
I'd love to see you and Robin Ford play together. You both take the Blues to new heights. Your smooth playing and Robins pushing the limits. Man, that would be so sweet.
Just what I needed. Thanks 🤝
Glad it helped!
Thanks a lot, this is great ! The mixing of the grunt and the sweetness.
Thanks for listening
Such melodic genius! Brilliant and so skilled. It’s enlightening every time I watch your videos. Thank you.
My pleasure!
Jack, man, wow, you're giving away many secrets! And we love the added bonus of pointing us to where you got some your lines and inspirations. Following those leads to whole new and wonderful worlds.
Thanks John!
Thank you for the lesson, Jack. You're a amazing guitarrist and a great music teacher. 👌
Thank you Bruno!
Great info. Thanks for sharing!
Thanks for watching!
Omg I’ve been wanting an es 345 and the last few video’s I’ve watch had at least 2. Now this 335 , I think it’s a sign. Man I love that guitar.
Excellent content thank you Jack
Wonderful stuff really well explained
Thanks Steve!
I was lost after hello….😂
Thanks ! cool stuff..!
Glad you liked it!
Excellent !
Thank you!
Great, i remember someone on youtube also mentioned to improvise on any dominant chord by playing lydian dominant scale on the same key, this is really tricky and need some time to learn.
Thanks!
Thank you!!!!!
Great stuff Jack for all the musicians wanting to expand their vocabulary, besides your excellent approach I found out the whole tone and phrygian dominant ( 5 of harmonic minor) also function well as altered sounds on the one chord. The practical approach of you gives de possibility to use the same melodical material going a half step down, great stuff man, greetings Vic
Nice! Thanks Vic
You are literally the most clear, understandable teacher I’ve encountered. Thanks so much for what you do.
Sweet
dude is smooth a silk
Old school Bop lines. Nice.
Good tutorial
Thanks
The 4 is the stank chord. Sounds great man.
This is awesome. I've been working through this and trying to get a tone that's approaching yours Jack. I've realised that so much of this is in your fingers and I use my pinky a lot more than you which is leading to a less smooth sound. So I'm gonna try and involve the ring finger more. As a very happy patreon subscriber please post up the tabs when you get the chance, they really speed things up for me. Thanks a lot.
Thanks Roger! I'm going to have them up soon.
@@JackRuch great thanks I can see you just put them up. I'm going to finish working through that. That minMaj9 arpeggio is 🔥
Most CZcams guitarists play riffs. Jack plays music.
great classic jazz ?blues lesson here..very sophisticated vibe!!! thanks
Thanks Chris!
@@JackRuch !!
I’m late to this party - #533 👍 So, last night I was watching Tomo on Brett’s channel and as I’m watching I’m thinking, this is how Jack approaches guitar playing! Carry On with your great content! 👍🎸✌️😎
Thank You!!
You really have me wanting an ES 335
Go for it. Its a wonderful guitar 😀😀
@@goswo Im saving now thanks for the inspiration!
Wow...I'll never be smart enough for this.
Great video!
I've been playing (not only) blues for 45 years. I've been trying to keep blues sounding like blues, not like jazz (although a jazz blues is also nice). Over a major blues (12 bars only using I7 IV7 V7) I've been playing the Lydian Dominant scale plus the minor 3rd on each chord (on C7 CDEbEF#GABb) and extending this with a b9 for that diminished sound.
I would be interested what you suggest on "simple" minor variants:
i7 iv7 v7
i7 iv7 V7
i7 IV7 v7
i7 IV7 V7
when the goal is to NOT sound jazzy.
Regards from Vienna Austria, Martin
So basically the lydian dominate scale is the harmonic minor of the dominate 5th in the key .lydian Dom.scale in A would be the same as an E harmonic minor scale?
hi jack where can i find the backing tracks you used here? thanks!
Is this lesson on Patreon?
Awesome video Jack!! Quick question if you don’t mind. What is the relation of the Ab-M7 to the G7 that makes it function as an altered sound? I do understand though the GmM9 over C7 for L. Dom because of of the way the fit into Melodic minor
If you understand that GmM9 arpeggio works over the C7, then in that same scale theory framework the GmM9 works over all the other chords and that would include the last note of G melodic minor which is F# (G A Bb C D E F#) and the F# mode is called the Altered scale (F# G A Bb C D E).
Same notes as G melodic minor, just starting on the 7th degree.. Gets you F# Alt.
So if you want to play G alt on the G 7 as Jack does, you have to understand what scale has G alt as its 7th degree just as F# is the 7th degree G melodic minor and that scale is Ab melodic minor (Ab Bb Cb Dd Eb F G).
So in summary, if you want the alt sound on any Dom 7th chord just play the last mode of the melodic minor scale that contains it, first to hear it.
Then you can play any mode, Jack on the G could run up and down G alt (the seventh mode of Ab melodic minor) but he chooses to play the first mode, the An melodic minor, and he uses the AbmM9 arpeggio to do it.
That makes total sense! 🤯 wow thank you!
@@elijahsomlock_music I'm glad x
💖😎💝
Hi Jack , are you familiar with Barry Harris 4 chord diminished concept and if so could you show use how to use the Dom 7 5b ?
I'm not but I have the book, I need to study it more!
@@JackRuch lol it’s fun to play with just not sure where to put Dom 5b it not being diatonic and all. I need to find songs that have that chord maybe,
I like it. (all of Jack's stuff is great). However, when I played the lick (4:27) over a few other CZcams backing track-shuffles it did not work. I wondered why. Oh...the other backing tracks had a strong g-natural on top of their C chord, clashing (in a bad way) with the F#. It seems this is better served in a trio w/o another chordal instrument or....one needs to be careful.
Man, I feel dumb for never thinking of this. Diatonic 4 = Lydian and Blues 4 = Dominant. Lydian Dominant should have been a no-brainer. Thanks Jack.
My pleasure!
Question so your saying I can noodle over the dominate lydian scale over a 12 bar blues in E? And what kind if feel does this scale give the blues? Lydian is a dreamy sounding scale to me. So is that the feel I should be going for playing the dominant lydian scale over 12 bar blues in E?
And I’d this scale only good over the fourth chord in blues?
So root chord stick to minor pentatonic then fourth chord play a line from the dominant lydian scale?
Where is the patrion page?

I love your lessons, however, I think even though you are a terrific blues players, you have a lot of jazz influence in your playing and lessons. I am kind of beginner (even though I am 70 years old), and could use more "simple" lessons. I am about to become a Patreon but I am afraid your lessons are too advanced for me. Not your fault, of course, It is me. But I am still deciding and meantime I will enjoy your lessons, at least to watch them. Thank you very much for all your help!! Cheers
Lol stop playing blues start playing jazz!
I'm sure he can play jazz, but blues is a great expansion making the transition to jazz.
@@JazzgutsVGvanKampen Yes, I realize he can, and very well, too. It was a general silly comment intended for everyone, including myself :-)
