Jared, being able to accompany singers using this walking bass style has been a lifetime goal for me and these videos are helping me to achieve it. Great work; a million thanks. John
I've always wanted to learn a good jazzy version of this song, every tab I pull up is just basic open position chords. Your arrangement is fantastic, thank you so much.
I liked how you broke down the bass section. You did the hard part for us. Now all we need to do is practice it over and over again until we’ve got it.
Great lesson, Jared! I like the way you have added the interval numbers for each chord. It helps to see the structure of the bass line that you are playing. This is also useful for learning to improvise. 👍😍🦘
This is my first time at your channel, just spended here 1 minute so far. I have a really good guitar teacher, and by now I think I can distinguish who to worth to follow or to pay attention to and you are among those.
Dang man, amazing stuff. I "thought" I had an understanding of guitar and playing but NOPE! I am gonna dive deep into that phase 3! Thank you for this. Thats a ton of work and you've got a new subscriber!
I'm loving this lesson, but my brain is saying - "what are you doing to me?" The amazing thing to me is that all of a sudden this makes total sense to me. All that theory that has seeped into my brain over the years and has just been festering in the corner with nothing to do has finally got got a task. Now it's all about the mechanics of the piece, my fingers are not keeping up with my brain - come on guys, get your act together :-) Thanks so much for this lesson, I'll definitely be following you from now on - Great Work.
Nice lesson as always Jared, lots of useful info for my brain to absorb. However, I have a challenge for you! I challenge you to repeat the whole lesson whilst riding that unicycle in the background 😂
thank you so much for the lesson. I actually pulled my bass to try the bassline alone and it's just like wonder. now my bandmate can just play the chords, I got him covered :)
I know, I sound like those stereotypical people whose amazed with your teaching, but man your dang good! It's free, it's new and hot sticky fresh information and wow! Thanks bro!
Hi Brian. Understandable! I generally feel comfortable using ANY non chord tone on beat 2 or 4, especially when they're passing or approach tones. And then will usually shoot for chord tones on beats 1 and 3. In my opinion you can't go wrong with that approach. :)
Thanks Jared for these invaluable and enjoyable lessons, I would be grateful if you could explain how you insert the chord shapes in ireal pro,? Many thanks.
Glad you're enjoying the lessons, thanks so much! For the graphics in this lesson I just drew the chord shapes in by printing the ireal pro sheet as a pdf, importing it into an ipad app called notability, then drawing the shapes in with an ipad pencil. Hope that helps! -Jared
It's an exercise wrist band, used to dampen the overtones that spill over from the strings above the nut. It's a subtle difference but it feels much cleaner to me when it's on. People use scrunchies too, or anything to tie up there to tame those harmonics. Thanks for asking. cheers, -Jared
Interesting ❤y the way using it will be easier BUT I need to learn these fingerings…just had my last (?)guitar acoustic ax om 28 y I got my old tele too etc y I am old😂❤ this coming year
Wonderful lesson - how did I not find your channel earlier I wonder - as I use a tele to play Jazz! :) Two questions please - are you on the neck pickup (cant see your switch position)? and when I finger-pick when playing Jazz I always find the high B and E strings quite jarring with overtly bright tones despite turning down treble on my rig (don't want to turn it all the way as it moots everything). Any pointers on getting the mellow jazz tone when using a tele (esp on the high notes)? Thank you very much!
Wonderful lesson.understanding theory really makes it. Your Tele sounds great for jazz. what model is it? I have a 63 customer shop Tele that I use primarily for jazz.Versatility is amazing with those Tele's.
That's correct! I don't worry about or think of the letter names at all though other than the root. I just think of the number/scale/chord tone relationships since they're the same off of any root (like 1765 distance would be the same off of any root), whereas the letters are different off of every root. It's totally fine to think of the letters too - just sharing how I think of it. :)
@@soundguitar Yea, you’re right. Just anytime I see a chord, I see a picture of the scale with 1-7 above the letters and 9-13 below the letters. If I see Am6, I picture an A minor scale and a sharp will appear beside the F haha. Weird I know.
Glad you liked it, thanks! You should be able to download the chart from the ireal pro forums easily. And here are image files from the lesson if that's helpful: www.soundguitarlessons.com/blog/Fly-Me-to-the-Moon-Guitar-Chords-with-Walking-Bass-Jazz-Tutorial
This is driving me nuts. I’ve only been studying theory for a couple years and I’m racking my brain on how a D minor 7 contains the root, flat 2nd, 5th and 6th. Unless the flat 2nd is standing in for the flat 3rd, or the flat 3rd is implied and, hmm. I’m just confused. If someone could explain.
Not sure if your still looking. But a D minor 7 has root, flat 3, five, and flat 7. You're right there is no 2nd or 6th. The idea here is you only need to land on chord tones on the first and third beats and then you use passing tones on the 2nd and 4th beats . Jared generally uses passing tones on the 2nd and 4th beat from the scale related to the chord (a D minor scale of some kind) but he has made the point that you really can even use non-scale tones on the 2nd and 4th beats. So chord tones only on first and and 3rd beats and on the 2nd and 4th beats just something to get you to the chord tone you need to hit on the first or 3rd beat.
This lesson is against your walking bass lesson you already have. In your walking bass lesson you reveal how walking bass _emerges_ from chords of harmony By itself. It's already embedded in chords and "approaching" might vary because it's just "approaching". From one chord to another. Walking bass line is born naturally. And here you just drop _random_ sequences of notes in front of chords and telling us "go learn theory and harmonisation in 20+ hours course'... C'mon ! Don't shoot your foot ! :)
Sorry for any confusion, Sviatoslav. I appreciate your feedback and I'm always working on improving and making my lessons as effective as I can. There are not any "random sequences of notes in front of chords" here in this lesson, and I'm quite sure it does not contradict the previous lessons in the series. Again, I apologize for anything that's confusing. If you let me know which notes seems random to you I'm happy to explain them and clear things up. Thank you for your feedback and helping me get better. Cheers, -Jared
I just realized. Perhaps you missed seeing the second video in the series? If so, that would explain why it feels suddenly like random notes are added. Here's the playlist in order, and video #2 explains adding scale notes that aren't just chord tones: ru-vid.com/group/PLho65cYn4nF2zh1u6fz67P1Ymp3ynHXoG. I hope that helps! Thanks - Jared
@@soundguitar Don't get me wrong ! Your lessons are THE BEST I found online EVER about guitar theory. And please take in account I'm judging your approach from my position as jazz piano player. It's radically not the position of guitar beginners you're targeting on ! My problem with explanations and education to other always was my inability to split whole theme in separated blocks. But you can do this ! I'm sure your lessons are perfect. They just sometime don't fit in my model. But your exercises and your knowledge is still priceless ! I'm just talking about models of explanation ! You are completely right in everything I've heard. I just disagree with approach to describe the same.. sometimes :) Please share more !!! We need you ! %)
