Sax master Joe Lovano's approach to practicing tunes applied to guitar, and a demonstration on 'Bye Bye Blackbird'.
I came across this way of practicing tunes a few months ago via this amazing master class:
• Joe Lovano Improvisa...
The title really grabbed my attention, as I'm sure you can imagine if you know anything about my philosophy of music. Joe is a really soulful and deep thinker about the music.
Obviously I highly recommend you check out the full lecture.
I have been applying the way of practicing tunes he describes in the lecture nearly every day for a few months, and the results have been amazing. In fact, I noticed significant changes after only a few days.
There are a lot of ways to practicing standard jazz tunes on guitar, and this is just one of them. But it's surely a great one.
As always, thanks for tuning in to Music Magus.
All the best with your music,
Aleister James Campbell

Really enjoyed this lesson and your playing. I know this tune as a listener of Miles Davis and Keith Jarrett, never seeing it from a musicians perspective, which I found illuminating.i like the idea of stripping a tune down to its essence. It creates a different way of knowing.

@music_magus 23 дня назад

Thanks so much for you comment! I've heard Miles play it a bunch, but not so familiar with Keith's interpretations. I must check it out.

Goodness. That's quite a jazzy sound for a solid body. What model pickup is in the neck position? Pick gauge? String gauge? Lovely sound and playing.

Thanks a lot! That's a Seymour Duncan Little 95. I'm using 1.1mm Celluloid pick, and just a set of round wound 10-46.

I'm not clear on what exactly it is, that transformed your playing. Is it playing the tune slowly? Is it mapping out the chords beforehand? Is it playing more, rather than taking lessons? I didn't hear you explain what it is that transformed your playing. You play very, very nicely, I enjoyed listening to you, but I could use clarification on what exactly the "thing" is that transformed your playing.

@music_magus 18 дней назад

Thanks for your feedback, John. Spending time moving through the tune(s) in a relaxed, almost rubato way. Rather than using backing tracks. a metronome, or any other method that involves keeping strictly in time. Working from the simplest version of the chords certainly helps, too. I recommend checking out the original Joe Lovano lecture for a more eloquent explanation than I could ever hope to give... 🤠🤘
