Turning Arpeggios Into Jazz Lines PDF/TAB available on Patreon: / chriswhitemanmusic Membership includes access to all of my previous Patreon Lessons. A 3 step process for turning Arpeggios into jazz lines.
I almost turned this video off immediately because the volume seemed low on your mic. Wow am I glad I maxed my volume and watched because it turns out that didn’t really understand how to write/modify chromatic enclosures until you explained it. You’re awesome 🙌🙏
When I was young I tried to get a jazz guitar teacher to show me this kind of thing to help make my solos more interesting but he either didn't know how or just refused and wanted me to learn tons of theory that wasn't computing since I'm self taught from records by ear. I can get mileage from simple concepts like this. Thanks and wish I could have found you decades ago!
Great lesson. Have you considered a series of lessons like this for minor, diminished, altered arpeggios, etc. It would make a valuable program to help students. In addition three more ways to do major arpeggios.
You have managed to cover such a wealth of information into 12 mins! As a former teacher your teaching style is excellent! Comprehensive content, excellent flow of delivery, obviously well planned and easily understood and put into practice at the level for which it was designed......I’m sure these sessions have caused quite a few to consider online private lessons with you! .....Myself included!.....Great work!
That was quite an insightful look at how to demystify the effective use of transforming an arpeggio into a beautiful sounding jazz line. Well explained and all that's needed is practice 👏 can be mastered in about a week. Great lesson 👍 thanks.
I like the way you bring the arpeggio’s to life in this lesson and I found the ‘front’ and ‘back’ loading concept really inspired me to use arpeggio’s in a more creative and musical way- thanks
Finally! Your break down and explanation of the approach is great. Most jazz musicians go way too fast and leave things out that they assume the student already knows. That was very chill and you didn't leave anything out. Kudos! Looking forward to checking out your other videos.
Thanks, Chris. This is the best explanation and example of how to make a line out of an arpeggio that I've ever seen. You have a real gift for teaching.
the 6 viewers that disliked the video up till now, probably didn't apreciate your hair-cut or the color of your shirt....damn....how could them....ok....you have to know something about theory to understand the content, BUT, in terms of practical approach on Arpeggios and the instantiantion of it into the Jazz Language, this lesson is a life time gainer for introduction AND can be adapted to lots of instruments, as I am doing with my Low G Tenor Ukulele.....Thank You SO MUCH!
I am struggling to emerge out of being an intermediate player and am often drawn to lessons like this but only get half way through-But I got this ! Very useful , clear and accessible thank you
Thanks you Chris ever so much , that was an invaluable lesson., you have opened up doors for me with those examples, just from that I could hear many jazz lines flooding my brain!!
Thanks Chris, a bit of inspiration from you was much needed and always a blessing to us all. That guitar is looking shiny and sounding sweet, sweet, sweet.
Brilliant lesson thanks his has got through to me it’s the building blocks for making lines rather than just the lines themselves, also lovely guitar tone too ;)
Your insights are always informative and greatly appreciated......as well as all your great chord-melody standards !!! THNX This really helped me break out of an arpeggio rut and open things up.
Definitely one of the easier to follow lesson than many others. The arppegios application is unpacked. There are so many gems in this lesson. Yes. Very useful.
Chris, thanks much, I really enjoyed the lesson. I'm 68, started playing at 8, wish technology would have been there back then. Making up for lost time. Thanks again.
I paused it at 3:47 to write this comment: "this is the best music lesson I've ever seen! " looks customized for my level. I'll check your patreon, promised.
Thank you for this lesson. It is very helpful to my progress as I have been learning the C major diatonic arpeggios for 6 months now. This shows what is possible on the one chord. Very well done and thank you.
Very good lesson. Many lessons get crammed full of too many aspects. This explains each new idea, so that they can be added to a player's "toolbelt". I've learned some great "licks" without the explanation of why it works, but this makes it applicable. You also have a great voice.
Chris - I'm new to your channel. I found this lesson to be a very helpful way of augmenting arpeggios. Your presentation style is very easy on the eye and ear. Randall
Greetings from Zambia? Some people are naturally born to make life easier. And because of this vid, I will start again to learn Jazz. Had stopped because my Danish friend, and coincidentally my boss at work, used to say negative things about Jazz. That it is for people who like to show off and boast. After a few hiccups of trying and lack of progress. I had stopped. But have just realised that I had stopped due to a combination of bad teaching from great Jazz players but who are bad teachers + negative vibes from my boss/friend. Have watched this video 9 times and practiced every part of it like 5 times or more and I think I am on track. Not quite like you, Maestro Chris, but enough for me and my boss to recognise the lines (close to yours) from what I recorded myself earlier (Nearly there). Bless you...sincerely, your newest subscriber...
This was very helpful. I've seen quite a few videos where they tell you to use arpeggios for soloing, but none of them showed how to do it, at least not as clearly as this video. Examples 7 through 11 really sounded like bebop lines. I am going to try this approach. Again, thanks for posting this.
Supper lesson! Just tried the exact same interval patterns with dominant, minor and minor b5 and sounds great. I bet your viewers would love a follow up lesson disguising on those arpeggios but maybe with different front and backload phrases. Thanks!
@@ChrisWhitemanGuitar Just a quick question for you, Chris. Do you use flatwound 11s when you play these tutorials? I am experimenting with some right now, but with my bigger fingers, then seem a bit slick. I love your tone, and am trying to achieve a smoother fluid movement. The rounds on my acoustic seem to give my fingers a bit more 'grab'. Thanks.
