What is your best advice for sounding better when playing Jazz? Barry Harris Take on Chromatic licks and phrasing: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-Jria4wPiwdA.html

@JohnAmatulli 2 месяца назад

Good stuff Jens and I really like that Barry Harris Chromatics vid too. I thought you might mention his chromatic rules, even/odd numbers of chromatic passing tones based on the starting scale tone. Perhaps you do somewhere else (or will ;^D). Also, often feel like there isn't enough attention paid in teaching how to get past the rote practice and licks to the hearing a melody (singing it) and being able to play it spontaneously. The real creation on the edge. This is where the joy is. In the zen. The zone. The flow state man. So I am glad you are getting at that some here. I'm a big believer in finding the shortcuts that make playing freely more accessible. Getting it in your ear and under your fingers so that you can let go of the consciousness and stretch out in the music.

This is a great lesson for intermediates because what you did was breakdown "feel" in practical, practicable ways. Always puts me in a good mood to see a new vid from you! One of the best ways to get good at this is to listen to and try to mimic the "greats" by ear.

@gtrgeorge348 2 месяца назад

Incredible… I have never had good right hand technique, so I have always used hammers & pulloffs just the way you describe; I always thought they sounded better than picking every note, and you just explained why… THANKS!

@jeffreyoneal276 2 месяца назад

Jens, This was exactly the right lesson at exactly the right time in my jazz journey. I've been using the Barry Harris pivot you taught on some tunes which improved my phrasing. This lesson gives me some rhythmic tricks to add variety and still be within my ability to execute. I've been resisting learning licks - it goes against my ethos "it has to be hard to be good for you." This material is gold for me. Your humor is always appreciated as well. Thanks.

@DevanJackson 2 месяца назад

There have been a couple of things that have helped me improve at least a little here lately. The main thing is what I would just call as lead-in ideas. Two, three, or four note things that voice lead into the next bar is the 1st concept. And “opening licks or phrases”, that you can use before and after a more or less “textbook” scale or arpeggio run. There’s one more thing that has really helped a lot but I can’t get into it right here but it’s made playing over Dominic Chords so much easier for me at least. It’s something I’ve kind of piece together accidentally after studying Barry Harris’s books and DVDs. It’s nothing he ever came right out and sad but it’s almost like it’s just staring right in the face.

@billguitarvin 2 месяца назад

Thanks so much for putting this lesson together! I never thought about playing a higher note on the ands and accenting it or pulling off on the next note to make the next note softer. Great observation! Berry Harris’s pivot cords help make lines more interesting as well. All the best and take care.

Off topic, but I just played a gig with a fine Jazz guitarist who comped with what he described as "stride." How about a future video on this topic? Great work as usual....

There is no strict definition of what stride is on guitar, so I can't tell you what he was playing and whether that would make a good video.

Hey Jens can you suggest a few albums that contain a tonne of 'essential' Jazz or Jazz-Blues Vocabulary? Like if you were to set a student 'Listening & Transcribing' Homework to give someone loads of licks or phrasing in Jazz.

I would first go with Parker playing Billie's Bounce, Now's The Time, Au Privave etc. Maybe some of the stuff of Grant Green's "Grant's First Stand"
