Really clear and no brain damage done! It's true that a great teacher makes even the apparently most complicated thing simple to understand. Jazz in one area where bad teachers do a lot more harm than good - but you have really enlightened me, particularly with the triton 7 sub Bravo Jamey!
I don't know much theory, so this was a bit quickfire for me, but it was nice to hear the differences! Is that 'note borrowing' not also the essence of modes?
Thanks for watching! No, the note borrowing means we’re using notes from another key whereas modes use notes all diatonic to the same key, we just shift the major scale to start on the root note of the chord.
Very cool. When you went to the tri-tone substitution, the progression was very reminiscent of the tune “The Goodbye Look” from the Nightfly album by Donald Fagen, if you’re familiar with that one.
I like your intention to desacralize the theory a little and make it more understandable and accessible to the uninitiated 🎸🎼🎵🎶. Thank you for this important work 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻!!! Happy New Year 2024, Mr. Jamey Arent ☮!!!
Secondary dominants are fun to mess around even with simple typical pop progressions where every chord gets a dominant. Glad I learned this from the Joe pass dvd from years ago.He does include Tritone subs as well.
just out of the blue the G7 is played with the thumb and mutting the A string (like everyone can do it) ( played 2 or 3 differnt ways before that).. Im on a strat and dont like the smug bs of your long fingers AND thumb AND your offbrand les paul!
I learned the thumb over the neck method from watching Hendrix. It’s worth trying as a practical approach to playing the root on the low E string and avoiding the A string. Also, it’s not an off brand Les Paul, but rather, an ES-335 made by Gibson.
Hi Jamey, I'm beginning my 3rd attempt at the guitar, but this time I'm going to learn where the notes are. Can you tell me what you see when you look at the fretboard? What I mean is, do you see the notes or do you "know" from experience where they are? I've always seen just a vast amount of frets and I find myself trying to figure out where the whole notes are. I want to be able to see each fret as a note, is that possible? Is that something I should aim for? Thank you and btw, I wish I had you as a teacher 40 years ago. People didn't teach any of the stuff you do back then. Mark
Here's the system I used to learn the notes up and down the fretboard: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-s7dUv0oIlNU.htmlsi=FhcvNshYIoh98pbO Hope that helps! Thanks for the nice words.
One of few good teachers on youtube. He doesn't give wordy explanations that make your eyes glaze over, but instead inspires you to pick up your instrument and play with instantly musical ideas that you can apply in practical songwriting terms. It's passionate teachers like Jamey that keep me playing
