Rufus, I've been watching and taking notes from many of your lessons (RU-vid, SBL, lessons on your site), often struggling to grasp the complexity of jazz harmonies concepts you present, stopping, rewinding, then watching again... And now, I've reached the point where I’m finally starting to understand your fast-paced concepts on the fly and can even predict some of your next moves. Thank you, teacher!
Great lesson! I do not understand why the Lydian scale in 'C' would include a sharp 11 (F# Sharp 4) I was thinking Lydian is the 4th interval, so if you are in 'C' the 4th interval is 'F' and not F#... so what am I missing? (Other than common sense)
What a fantastic video from my favorite youtuber have a wonderful day Rufus also i cut my wrist when my family was sleeping with a knife after an argument with my mom ❤😢😊
Often times I find that my knowledge level is not up to comprehending fully what you're teaching. This lesson was different, however. For some reason when you were explaining and demonstrating the Bm pentatonic intervals over the CM7 loop, it seemed to click and fall comfortably into place. I'm going to hunt down a CM7 drone somewhere on the net and then work on some lines based around the Bm intervals idea. Thank you.
On an improv context, I've found through the years that linking the arpegios with enclosures and or passing notes, is a far stronger tool than just going at it on a mere scalar fashion. It is a part of the work that as improvisers and given our instrument and its main function, we rarely get to use these things, and they do take a ton of work, because it's in the depths of these minor modes (harmonic minor also), that we get to unveil a fk ton of language and secrets to the fretboard, and everything in general. But, good news is that all that nerdy effort pays well and pays a lot, and relatively fast too. Great lesson, watched it all just for the sake of checking your method out, real cool and interesting. Cheers
Thanks for sharing this Rufus Just getting back into playing bass after a car crash head injuries And unfortunately another head injury b Was hit by a e bike who was riding on the pavement all fine now obviously taking things easy
Man that shit was beautiful you are a great player I would love for you to redo the Lydian thing from journey to love and slow down those licks and call out those notes the jazz bass was singing I’m glad I discovered your video
