It's always a real pleasure to watch your videos, Denis. The philosophy and historical perspective are very much appreciated. And here's another vote for a deep-dive into rhythm changes.
Btw. I love the philosophy behind it, the why's, and then the how's. The how is simple, hearing as much as you can to learn the language... like learn a speaking language... thank you Dennis.
When can we expect the following volumes for Practical Harmony for Jazz Guitar? On sound slice it only goes up to volume 4 but in the description you write that it will be continued…
"Properly" It really depends on what the player has in mind to say through his instrument. Django was missing fingers and still outplayed almost everyone. If one hums a solo to either heard or imagined blues backing that is what's "proper." The only thing required is if the player can translate that to their instrument. The danger in taking seriously generic lessons like this is that everyone will sound the same. And they do. If you want an example of throwing out the rules and playing what you feel, go to You Tube and listen to The Firehouse Five Plus Two's recording of The Canal Street Blues. I guarantee you will never hear anything like this in modern jazz circles.
Seems like you only commented on the title and not the actual video where i repeat multiple times that you have to choose how you want to play and to play with artistic purpose
@@DenisChangMusic So the actual title should be "Properly Learn the Jazz Blues (Knowing that "properly" doesn't mean anything)? The word "Properly" implies that there are improper ways to learn and they are incorrect. Usually students figure someone who teaches can offer shortcuts and a unique perspective on a subject. I'm afraid when you say "proper" and the end result says it's up to the student how and what he wants to do, it's not surprising that everyone will sound the same (the "sheeple effect").
