Mister Ruch is one of the few to keep it calm, aurally and visually, but soul moving the whole way through, every time, every lesson. And Jack, that is THE hat.
Hey, Jack. We just got home after our first visit to Nashville, where we happened to see you at the Underdog. Thank you for being as friendly and generous as anyone could possibly be. Also, the GT Trio was astounding. We brought along our local friend and his fantastic wife and met Jimmy Hall, a friend of our friend. What a night. Any music lover should try to get to the Underdog, especially on a Monday night. We can't wait to return. Thanks again, Jack.
Oh man, so tasty! Thanks brother. Your voice is quite tasty too - has such a lovely character and tone. Soothing. Epic sound quality and production. Cheers, Mitch over in New Zealand.
Well I don't usually play the blues but I will try this out because I'm supposed to maybe jam with a very good blues guy who's also a former guitar teacher who's pretty good and laid-back Peace ☮️ n serenity
Great lesson. I've always wondered if it's ok to use the altered scale over a V7 chord when it's not altered since it contains the perfect 5th. Does playing the b5 and #5 not clash in these cases?
Jack, serious breakthrough with the diminished arpeggio in context with a minor one dom five vamp. Trying to decode Cuban soloing, I was playing all the right notes, but just not the right way. Thanks so much. Also creating anchors, like knowing I can start the diminished arpeggio off of the third of the five chord, or off of the 2nd of the one chord, allows me to always know where i am. Excellent stuff.
Well, that was terrific. First I was all like, "Oh great, another minor pentatonic tutorial. Who can't use 10,000 more of those" Then I was all like, "Wait a second..." Now I'm all like: 🎸🤘
Damn it, Jack, you went and made me understand something here that I struggled with for decades! You made the penny finally drop in my head, brother. That Phrygian Dominant example, but more importantly the clear simple human way you explained it finally made it make sense to me. Feel free to call me thick. 🙄 🤪 🤣 Thanks pal. Honestly, if I could afford it, I would fly you out here to Australia and tour you, as well as introduce you to some huge names out here who are friends of mine. Alas, Covid destroyed our industry. Thanks, brother. 🤩🙏
If Jack doesn't jump on this, I'll take one for the team. Also, while I'm there maybe you can explain the Phrygian dominant for me, as I'm still not getting it 😂
@@zbo1 it's just a mode of the harmonic minor scale, in the same way you have modes of the regular major scale. So you play harmonic minor but start and finish on the 5th note of the scale. In this case the parent scale is A harmonic minor, it's the same notes. So if it's easier you can just play A harmonic minor but starting on E, and that gives you E phrygian dominant. Does that make sense?

@@jeromeellis4665 yeah it's kind of muscle memory, just learn the shape then shift it up and down. Some of the other modes are beautiful too like dorian #4 and lydian #2. Makes sense after a while if you keep practicing them.
