John Scofield is one of the most important artists in Jazz for the last 40 years. Few artists can claim to have worked with such an amazing row of musicians and Scofields ability to come up with new and fantastic projects is amazing.
In this John Scofield I am going to take a look at some phrases from a solo off the "I Can See Your House From Here" album that was a collaboration with Pat Metheny. An album that features Steve Swallow and Bill Stewart. who would later form the Scofield Trio for a few albums.
The song is You Speak My Language which is a Bb Blues and I am going to analyze three phrases from the solo and talk about some of the things that are typical for John Scofield Licks

Jens, Your grace in handling all the negative comments on this video is admirable. You are among the top 5 content providers for Jazz guitar and instruction on RU-vid in my opinion. Not a fraud in any way. In fact I’d pay for a video lesson if you offer them.

So that's an interval. I call them two note voicings to ward off the "chord police"(3 notes in a chord). I use them a lot to stay away from all those big stretchy chords and to keep movement and because sometimes I forget what I'm doing so I can ease back into the groove. My old teacher lent me a Mel Bay book of rhythm guitar that was huge. It cost close to a $100 but had more guitar rhythms than I knew existed for a number of styles. There was a section I got into that emphasized Scofield, Abercrombie and another guy I can't think of. Great video.

Jens thanks for sharing this. One of the things that first attracted me to Sco when I was just starting to play guitar, playing blues primarily, was his angularity but within a blues vocabulary, which for me was something I was familiar at the time. I have listened to this record numerous times and would count it as one of my top 10 jazz guitar records. I should also mention that I have copped a lot of his angularity into my own playing.

Hey Jens, great video as always! I was wondering if you had any advice on how to develop your solos so they make sense and stay somewhat thematically consistent. I'm coming to a point in my playing where I know what notes I want to play and can come up with ideas that I like, but I have trouble developing my ideas so that they make sense over the changes without getting boring and repetitive. Cheers!
@JensLarsen
@JensLarsen 5 лет назад
Well, practice a lot of motif stuff when you solo and also spend time listening to how others use that in their playing. Keith Jarrett is a great example! Also try working with Call-Response when you are improvising. Another thing to try is to record a solo and decide in advance how long it has to be, then try to think about how you build it up and work on getting that part of the "form" right. Does that help? 🙂

Hi Jens, thanks for this video. Analyzing the style of John Scofield always fascinates me. To me, what sets him apart is he plays great 'sax' type riffs with the notes sounding like they are being being pulled off the fretboard. One of my favorite Scofield solos is on the song 'Decoy' by Miles Davis ... any thoughts you might share in a future video on that particular solo would be greatly appreciated! ... thanks, Brian
@JensLarsen
@JensLarsen 5 лет назад
Thanks Brian! I don't know that song but I will have a listen :) Funny that you should call his phrasing Sax-like. To me it is as guitar as it gets and in many ways more guitar than most jazz guitarists 🙂

@frdagaa
@frdagaa 5 лет назад
I think I agree with Brian. He does "breathe" in his phrasing, like a sax. Good amount of open spacing. And his picking dynamics with so many pull offs and almost ghost notes at times sound more like sax tonguing than, for instance, the rest-free machine-gun alternate picking of a Martino or Stern. To me, that style is much more "guitar" than Sco.
@JensLarsen
@JensLarsen 5 лет назад
Interesting! I would say that a style that really makes uses of the colours of the instrument (like dynamics) is more guitar, but of course that is personal I guess 🙂
@mateushayasaka
@mateushayasaka 9 месяцев назад
Maybe I'm wrong, but this solo reaffirms something I think a lot: the musician doesn't always think exactly about playing in the changes. I believe that the interval content created is more important than whether the note will be part of the chord or not.
@JensLarsen
@JensLarsen 9 месяцев назад
There are 2 layers to this: Most of us don't think about anything at all when we solo, if you know the song then you don't have to think about changes, but you can also choose to play in a way that does not connect with all the chord changes, like playing Blues on rhythm changes is really common.

@@JensLarsen Denny Dias studied for years with Billy Bauer, and thought of himself as a jazz musician, even when he was playing with Steely Dan. He never bent strings, used vibrato, or copied other rock guitar player's licks. I listened to a trio performance Sco' did with Adam Nussbaum He did beautiful chord work to play the melody, but when he soloed, he sounded horrible. Every song was the same thing- fine chord work, followed by ugly sounding solos that didn't swing. It's as if he had a fetish with sounding angular like Monk, but because he didn't have a left hand to comp for him like Monk had, it just sounded terrible. He sounds okay when he's got a chord instrument to comp for him, but on his trio albums where he uses chorus all the time, and distortion, he sounds like a rocker more than a jazzer. I think that's why rock musicians love Sco' so much. Sure he's had a very successful career, but sometimes success has nothing to do with being a great jazz musician. Rant over...; - )

I am a Acoustic/Electric Bassist, new somewhat to Jazz Guitar gear. I play an Ibanez Artcore Hollowbody and have three questions. First I was told to play using flatwound strings. Is this common or preferred? Second is it better to use a Bass amp (Galien Kruger), or a guitar amp (Fender Front Man)? Lastly I want to be able to play melodically with a pick , but I also want to be able to comp and play chord/Melody Solo's. Should I use pick and fingers approach? Please let me know what you think! Thanks Bill
@JensLarsen
@JensLarsen 5 лет назад
Hi Bill, 1: You don't have to play flatwounds,Personally I don't but a lot of people do. 2: Bass amps are not nice for Jazz Guitar. Guitar is about mids, also Jazz Guitar. Don't be afraid to use the EQ :) 3: There are many approaches when it comes to right hand technique. I actually go back and forth. Mostly solo with a pick, but not all the time and I very often comp with my fingers. I rarely use a combination of pick and fingers, but that's just me. Does that help? 🙂

Flatwounds are ok, compared to non flats or Brite flats you lose some higher tones, you gain in mids, the lower strings lose sustain. The best sets are expensive. You can try $14 budget flats. It is also it's hard to get extra light guages and lose some ability to bend strings easily. Thomasek Inveld lights are what I use, over $22.If your a swing chord and lead player the smoothness is really nice.

Are you 100% cofident it is a mistake? I can't know for sure, but it doesn't sound like a mistake to me.

@@JensLarsen Well, since "there are no mistakes" that's probably right but that line sounds rather bad to my ears and I LOVE dissonance.

@@josdurkstraful I guess it is more dissonant than your average Coldplay song, but the maj7th over a dominant chord is not that far out.

@@JensLarsen Agreed (I hate Coldplay by the way, favorite band: Magma :-) .... Still think the line doesn't sound that great. Who cares? I guess no one but that's not the point here. I for myself could not care less but still discuss this..... It's all fine and Scofield style outside and so on. My point is: even players like Sco can have their weaker moments and it's not blasphemy to put the finger on it or is it?

@@josdurkstraful Maybe that is a bit unfair to me, look at it from my point of view: Some random guy on the internet doesn't like two notes so it HAS to be a mistake, and I am not allowed to disagree without being some sort of cult-member? I have no idea how much experience you have with Jazz, lots of people think all sorts of stuff is wrong or are mistakes because they don't have any reference for understanding it. For the way I make videos: If I thought it sounded like a mistake then I would have mentioned that in the video, or I would not have used the example. That is how I did it in the other videos.

Another way to think of the E♮ played over F7 in measure 7 (at 6:29) is that he is using a tritone substitution going from Cm7 to B♭7 by playing over B7 instead of F7. The E is then the fourth as in the B blues scale. All of the notes in measure 7 are in B blues (except for the E♭ - you forgot the accidental - but if we think D♯, then it's the third of B7).

I feel sad, because although i have tried a few times, I really don't get Scofield. I don't like the dirty sound, or the bending the note you land on a quarter tone. Probably a shame because I know so many people dig him, but I just don't "get" it. Thanks for trying.

Agree with Jens, but if you want something maybe a little more accessible - check him out on Soulive’s records he’s featured on, or some MSMW or Uberjam stuff.

Pat Metheny is on a different level to Scofield imo, but Scofield has his moments.
@JensLarsen
@JensLarsen 5 лет назад
Well, at that level I think it really is a question of taste 🙂 Did you check out the Metheny video I did? ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-CUtjnC7S7kk.html

As I already said: At that level I think it really is a question of taste 🙂 It's a bit silly to go George Benson is better than Pat Metheny or Eric Clapton for that matter.

I've heard Scofield live several times. The last time I heard him he was playing country tunes with a piano player and I liked it not at all...

I like an old album of Krantz's called "Two Drink Minimum". The solo on the tune "Whippersnapper": ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-i2jaRZ_OzcY.html is one of the best live fusion guitar solos I've ever heard. Here is some more of what he used to play: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-bZYRiv5nnqA.html He was also Steely Dan's best guitar player IMHO: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-RW2mGFKQWlg.html The solo on the song "My Old School" at the end of the 2nd part of this concert is very, very good.

That's very true David, If you don't like my videos you can always find another one! This is really a step up from the other comment where you said Holdsworth was only playing the whole-tone scale and then couldn't write out the notes of a whole-tone scale. Just keep at it! You could also consider sharing my videos on social media to warn others?
