Even though this lesson is too advanced for me (I'm a beginner), I understood more about the big picture of what I need to learn and even why. It was very concise and carefully explained. Now I'm more motivated to do the less "fun stuff" (scales and learning the fretboard) so I can improve but I also have a few tips from you that I can apply right away. Thank you!
thanks for your kind words! I hope you will elvolve quickly. for learning arpeggios there is a great book by Michael Sagmeister: Arpeggios in Jazz ( or something like that) that I recommend!
Great video! I like that you mention licks not as the first idea. First learn the notes on the fretboard, then learn licks and understand why and how they work. Lots of stuff to work on.
Thanks Sven! I appreciate how you started with a pentatonic scale then break it down to show the chord tones. I have watch this video several times and it's slowly sinking in. lol
This is incredible Sven, thank you so much! This is one of the first times I've seen an explanation on improvising in this style that I can actually understand. Your first tip is awesome! I've been working on your other video showing the chords of the song for a couple of weeks and finally getting comfortable with the new (to me) shapes. Really enjoying your videos, thanks!
Yeah I’m working on all of me. This lesson is fantastic. I’ve been playing GJ for 18 months, in a general way. Now I’m concentrating on songs. Ps!! Sven. What is the exact guitar model you are playing in this video. Many thanks. Willl.
Great! Yes pentatonic with some chromatism and harmonic minor (A7-Dm7) it s all you need But I would consider trying all the arpeggios except for the turnaround
Hi Sven. Fantastic video. I love them all, particularly this one and the minor blues lesson on improvising. Can I ask you, how do you know what the special notes are? Is it from the melody, is it from the differences to the C Major scale? I have always tried to hit the root of each chord, this idea of hitting the 3rd of the secondary dominant is new to me. Is that always the special note for secondary dominants? Teach me !!!!......please :)
Well to know the "special" note in secundary dominants you need to identify the notes of the secundary dominants that are outside the Main scale and replace them
Ahhh did the whole scale mistake myself. Is your point being basically know your relative minor which I just call the 6th and major which is the 1st. And then just reference everything to that. i.e in this case you sharpen the G (the 5th) to G#
Hi, not yet, but this one is a volkert guitar, a very good builder from germany. Joscho Stephan and Diknu Schneeberger are his most famous endorsers. My second guitar for gypsy swing is a Höfner from 1956. Also a German builder. I have a Taylor, a dobro from gretch and a mandolin " the loar" These are the instruments I use on stage. the rest is not worth telling. I sold a telecaster usa several months ago and badly miss it 😂
@@SvenJungbeck Thanks! I have a 76 Tele. It ain't going anywhere! Recently I am hooked on my own model I call the Djangothunders guitar. Shaped like a Selmer but about the size of a Tele. One P90 and a wraparound tailpiece. Basswood body with black walnut neck.
A third is a whole tone plus a half tone step, in a major third the whole tone comes first, in a minor third it is the other way round. The note gsharp is the major third of e. That's intervals! One of the most fundamental stuff in music theory. Music sounds good, because notes have different spaces between them. Those spaces are called: interval. 😉
My mind thinks in : pentatonic With embellishments to suit the progression. It might actually end up being 7,8,9,10,11,12 notes depending on how the chords move. And yes sometimes it is an actual chromatic movement.
