Bright Size Life- licks, scales and ideas 

You are an outstanding private music teacher. Your vid was a concise , understandable & practical analysis of that amazing piece. Thanks 🙏🏻

Big thanks for this lesson! I have been putzing around with this tune for years but never really learned it properly. I saw Pat recently live (for the first time ever!) and was inspired to learn this after the played it. The lesson helped me to connect the dots and now I have the necessary "tools" on how to approach the song that no longer feels intimidating. Wonderful tune and lesson! More please using this format.

Wow! I've seen lots of your videos and they are always educational but this lesson has a years worth of practicing material. Such gems here! I love the sound of triad pairs especially when you can get that legato sound of a wind instrument. Beautifully done.

Hey Mikko, thanks for the detailed and really musical tutorial. Great material! Thanks for putting it together and for sharing.

great content, thank you very much! its great how you cover different aspects of the song in 1 video (comping/soloing, harmony, licks...) keep it up!

Nice! I’ve been digging into some Metheny tunes lately and just came back around to this one

Always inspiring to watch your videos Mikko! Clear and thorough at the same time, never forgetting that it's music we're talking about...

What a fantastic lesson. I have loved this song since high school. Which was not too far from when it came out :) It is so great to get a handle on it after all these years! Thank you Mikko!

Wow. Mikko!!! Long time no see. We were in Toronto. Probably you don’t remember me (I was in first year when you graduated) but anyways really nice to see you. Thanks for the sharing!!!

Loved this ! Thank you 🙏

Wow Mikko you out did yourself on this one. Your videos are always well thought out and topnotch but this was amazing. Any guitarist or musician will be able to reference this video long after you and I are gone, again….brilliant!

Something I've discovered over the years, is that usually, the more complicated a chord sounds, the easier it is to play. 🙂 Love your content by the way. Thanks.

Great teacher great lesson!!!

Great lesson, thank you

Awesome!

Thank you

Thanks!

Thank you Mikko!!

great channel Mikko! saludos desde argentina

Excelent Lesson, thanks

I hope you make more videos like this.

Awesome vid, thanks for the insight. Just gonna mention 10:00 I like to think of them as fourths, the 5ths seem more like passing tones since the 4ths are one the strong beat

New Content YES

Mikko is the Master :)

The story goes that Gary Burton, who was helping Pat with his compositions, when he saw this song said now you got something here.....

11:23 "Sixthhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh"

HAHAHA Camp fire D!!

23:00 But that's ALWAYS a very high likelyhood when I play!

Your guitar sounds really good. I have that same model, where are you plugged? (which amp)? thanks

Too stuff as ever Mikko! What was the book you mentioned at the end … ?

Great video! Are you playing that Godin without an amp? I am very curious about the Multiac but have never played one or heard one in person

Ty Mikko! Can you tell me pls, what looper are you using that allows for rec A & B section?

Dear Mikko I remember faintly ED- BA- Ed + BA- ED- BA+ ED- BA- ED player of course over ajor Being the Chick Corea invention of 4 Tones a scale : Tetratonic Scale..Wish this to be any help

any chance you could make a video like this for "James"? :)

兄弟你要换吧琴

the bass in Bb is Bb, the chart is wrong. why do you talk about Bb/A? Burn the real book

I remember hearing this recording for the first time as a young college guitar student… Pat M genius! Great video!
