If you can play jazz, you can use a super strat Charvel with a floyd rose, won't matter.

@@GuyNarnarian I totally agree. It’s just usually everyone else who judges you on your axe!

@GuyNarnarian Месяц назад

@@JazzRockswithAdam Totally agree. As long as the instrument plays well enough not to hinder you in learning or playing, the axe doesn't really matter. It's 95% the player and technique, 5% the equipment and everything else we obsess over that is usually less important to the tone and sound than we think.

I teach guitar to adults. Most have tried to teach themselves by using books and listening to Jazz. Many have had a guitar teacher who played rock. The teacher gave them good feedback on their technique and practice habits but the students all eventually stopped going to lessons. Some students want to learn the ins and outs of playing like a specific Jazz guitarist. The second group are not interested in listening to other Jazz guitarists. What this group wants is to learn the soloing style of musicians on other instruments like piano, sax or electric bass. I find it easier to teach the latter group since they are interested in something I can teach, which is improvisation.

It’s a language. I remember meeting this piano player who could play some of the best jazz I have ever heard. I asked him what he was doing, he told me he only learned about the chords so he could communicate his music with others, that his playing is like speaking. He learned by listening, transcribing and playing with other musicians

All the points in both of these videos are right on. Both of you guys are dispensing some great insight for anyone struggling to start and/or learn more about playing Jazz. Took my first lesson as a kid in SSM the 60's. Spent a couple decades as a weekend country, rock and blues cover band guitarist, 1000's of hours and 1000's of dollars on lessons, vids and workshops, hammering away at learning to play. It wasn't until I was retired and got a chance to play with a group that actually played Jazz standards that I really began to learn the music. It eventually lead to an ongoing solo guitar gig at a local restaurant. The big turning point: LEARNING THE SONGS! It made me work to actually build a vocabulary of chord voicings and a repertoire of tunes. Also, any one standard tune can be a test mule for any technique, scale, rhythm variation or chordal thing you may be trying to work into your playing. There's a reason why all Jazz musicians know these tunes. Thanks Adam and Jens for all the inspiration and tips.

@thehappyheretic2136 3 месяца назад

great comment and advice. I love jens vids but this channel is easier for my stroke brain to understand and use what I learn. I'm grateful for both channels as well as others. I use videos to help me understand what I learn from my local guitar teacher. I'm afraid in this economy after a year of lessons I may have to go it alone for awhile anything over 100 bucks a month that's nonessential will have to go if this economy gets any worse

@JazzRockswithAdam 3 месяца назад

@piotr.soton88 3 месяца назад

I would add that it's great to learn playing along others. Find local jam sessions, when they welcome beginners, observe better players. I like to learn from other musicians, especially from non guitarist. Piano players are great for example to learn from. I've been blessed to meet some kind people who like to share some ideas with me.

@JazzRockswithAdam 3 месяца назад

Absolutely! Especially the part from piano players. I’m surprised I didn’t mention that actually. Thanks for checking it out.

Hi Adam, from France ; not very related to your present video that i'm right now looking, but wanted to let you a little comment. Your videos are great, genuine contents, absolutely monster advices and very rich musically (i think about for example the lenny breau chord concept approach with several great examples from you 🔥). I hope you really pierce with your channel, because it's surely a lot of hard work you put on.. Have a great journey Adam, in your own musical projects or pedagogical/historical/musical jazz related videos, i will keep check and recheck your very original pedagogical approach and deep process into jazz music. God bless humans like you that deliver culture and "peace" in this world, they are getting fewer and fewer...

I think you’re onto something there for the most part. But there are people out there that are born with seemingly near super powers. When you get a combination of talent and hard work, then you have the potential for momentum, for sure.

Some people are born with things that makes it easier. A guy who’s 6’7” is going to have an easier time playing basketball over the 5”7’ guy. For the most part though talent is just a synonym for skill.
