Glad to see you got this one too ..love it ..thank you ! this book truly is a voice leading study extraordinaire. Bill Frisell was studying at Berklee with Brett the same year as me 76' -77' Brett Willmott also had Mike Stern and later Kurt R. I saw a podcast w/ Ben Monder talking about how he will "exhaust" a book before moving on... He said "it's tedious but I do it anyway". From the first year Rubank clarinet book: Since different pupils require different types and lengths of practice. The objective that every pupil should establish is : "I will master the assigned task whether it takes 1/2 hour or 2 hours" .the accomplishment of a task is far more important than the time that it consumes. I think you may be one of the 1/2 hour people. 🙂
@@Mikkokosmos Yes, the audio is pretty poor.. had to turn on close caption ...still muddled . ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-s1TzulqL1xo.html
Students find it easier to work through the three note voicings. They can see how to apply the three note voicings to their own playing but have trouble doing the same with the four note voicings. They think that they’ve “understood” the four note voicings after reading Willmoth’s explanation and playing through the example. More, obviously, will be gained by trying out other possibilities. Willmoth would have expected his students to work out solutions other than the ones shown on the page. It is only at that point that they can begin to apply what he was trying to teach them.
Thanks for this year. Great videos. I also love Drum Genius, especially after the latest update. I have the first book also which I really like. Didn’t know there was a second one in the series. Thanks for making this video. Will definitely check it out. It’s kind of weird that even if I know the theory about the chords the first book really gets your mind working. Found out I really got a blind spot when it comes to to substitutions for sus chords when I read the first book the first time. Great resource.
It was time that I was looking for a lesson like this on modern comping, thanks very much mikko! It's very inspiring and opens a lot of new ways about thinking the chords..I love that kind of mysterious sound behind these voicing, and the surprising thing is that they are not new voicings or nothing complex, but just substitutions where you don't play all the notes, creating wider intervals..and you are right, this technique also brings more freedom to the left hand.
So now I have to buy the sequel! I like that it has practical examples over standards. Watched this video during a practice break. I was just working on stacked 4ths on the lower strings while moving the top note, so this video has some relevance. I really liked the last example, you're obviously having fun! Curious that I'm Canadian...lol. Thanks for another great video, Mikko. All the best for 2021! BTW my first good guitar was a Hagström Swede, back in the mid 70's.
@@Mikkokosmos It's definitely on my wishlist! For now I'm working out stuff on my own and working with Generic Modality Compression & Peter O'Mara's Chordal Concept For Jazz Guitar (revised edition). I know I should be a hockey fanatic but I got into judo very young and interest in hockey dwindled. Shame on me! I might just rekindle my interest in it this year. Particularly when Canada plays Sweden!✌😉 Lacrosse is technically our national sport, although it's not very evident.
Great resource! How do you connect drum genius to your looper pedal? I hear you start and stop playing both drum genius and your recording at the same time. Thanks!
I bought Tim Miller's 212 study after I watched your video. I also picked up Fundamentals of Guitar. Thanks for review these books. They've been critical in getting me off of a plateau. What are your thoughts on Joe Pass Guitar Style?
That's good to hear. Yes books can give you inspiration. You mean Joe Pass playing in general or is Joe Pass Guitar Style a book? I think Joe Pass is unbelievably good but I have never studied his playing or any of his teaching material
@@Mikkokosmos Joe Pass Guitar Style is a book recommended by Yens Lelrsen :) in one of his videos. It's an older book so it's all written in standard notation but unfortunately reading standard notation fluently is one of my weaknesses.
good question. I'm sure it could work for piano as well but there are probably better books out there specifically for piano. This books deals with some of the limitations we have as guitarists that piano players don't have. 🙂
