A 3 step process for building lines to play the changes on a ii-V-I. PDF/TAB available on Patreon: / chriswhitemanmusic Membership includes access to all of my previous Patreon Lessons.
Glad this video is still up. Perhaps the best I’ve seen for an intermediate picker serious about improving jazz concepts and improving on any genre of guitar and essential theory. Basic and clear while informative with no condescension.
This is truly a professional lesson, and has a high level of mindfulness in adding to the complexity. I greatly appreciated this lesson. It really made me sit down and work out these arpeggios even though I've known the need to practice this way, this video broke it down and made it possible for me. Thank you!
Best lesson I have watched (and followed along with!) on arpeggios and turning them into lines. I know my arpeggios, mostly, but playing them over chord changes sounds like an exercise and not making music - your lesson added just enough for me in terms of making the lines more interesting, thank you
I just discovered your channel. this is a goldmine! in 3 vids you have disclosed a whole new world! unveiled mysteries. at last I start to see how all the stuff I am learning practising for hours connects. and makes MUSIC. Thanx. you are great
Some of us don't know what jazz is, what I gather is these odd chords that fit those odd melodies. Keep educating us! By the way I loved your Barney Kessel video a lot, a big big thanks to you!
I did a Blues based gig with a tremendous Jazz bass player, who said after the first set, "Oh, you're a Jazz player!", to which I replied, "Oh no, I'm not!". He thought I was because I played the changes in all my solos, but I don't put in the odd notes that aren't normally in the scale like real Jazz players do.
A great demonstration of the arpeggios with two octaves and their visual relationship as shapes and how to couns out the time in the progression, meanwhile pointing out the voice leading.
Thanks Chris, excellent lesson. I realize I need to get back to basics and build a foundation. It worked you and Bill Evans, so it’s probably the best way to go. I noticed your shell voicing is the opening phrase for “ I should care” which I’m pretty sure you have covered. Heading to your Patreon page, Thanks again, your the best.
This has really made a lot of half-understood ideas click for me. At last, I finally understand that there is a logic behind jazz soloing! Up till now my note selection has been, shall we say, experimental (completely random) but now I totally get it. Mucho gracias!
I really like your teaching style Chris. I would love a follow up on how to extend the II V to 4 beats each using chromaticism - maybe that would need a few follow-ups lol.
Awesome. I watched the front loading video before this one. Probably should have been reversed. Do you have a video of examples on how one can make interesting improvised melodies by varying the composed melody of a standard song?
@@ChrisWhitemanGuitar I’m practicing this awesome video. I see you just added another video on creating Interesting lines. I’ll watch that one too after I have this one under my fingers solid and maybe experiment a little with it.
so harmony is 3 or more notes (a chord). To fully understand harmony, you would need to know the parent scale from which the harmony is constructed and all of the extensions that are available on the chord (9,11,13)
i love ur channel. ALWAYS a thumbs up... but... always a "but", right? it makes me scratch my head when i see your guitar, on a floor stand, sitting atop the sideboard behind you. just waxed floors??
@@ChrisWhitemanGuitar ahhh... thank you... the giant question mark over my head is gone. and again... i love ur channel and your playing. you are absolutely mesmerizing to watch and obviously a musician's musician. i practice 8 hours a day (thank u covid) just trying to reach the very fringes of your ability. you are great motivation!
