    I like how you walk us through the steps adding just a little complexity as you go, just the right amount without leaving us behind. Great lesson.

    Glad this video is still up. Perhaps the best I’ve seen for an intermediate picker serious about improving jazz concepts and improving on any genre of guitar and essential theory. Basic and clear while informative with no condescension.

    This is truly a professional lesson, and has a high level of mindfulness in adding to the complexity. I greatly appreciated this lesson. It really made me sit down and work out these arpeggios even though I've known the need to practice this way, this video broke it down and made it possible for me. Thank you!

    Best lesson I have watched (and followed along with!) on arpeggios and turning them into lines. I know my arpeggios, mostly, but playing them over chord changes sounds like an exercise and not making music - your lesson added just enough for me in terms of making the lines more interesting, thank you

    I did a Blues based gig with a tremendous Jazz bass player, who said after the first set, "Oh, you're a Jazz player!", to which I replied, "Oh no, I'm not!". He thought I was because I played the changes in all my solos, but I don't put in the odd notes that aren't normally in the scale like real Jazz players do.

    This has really made a lot of half-understood ideas click for me.
    At last, I finally understand that there is a logic behind jazz soloing!
    Up till now my note selection has been, shall we say, experimental (completely random) but now I totally get it.

    • @ChrisWhitemanGuitar
      @ChrisWhitemanGuitar  Před 3 lety

      so harmony is 3 or more notes (a chord). To fully understand harmony, you would need to know the parent scale from which the harmony is constructed and all of the extensions that are available on the chord (9,11,13)
