Actually, the basics for fusion players would be getting into bebop and hard bop, then learn those. Not skipping through all of that and going straight into fusion.
I find your videos very inspirational. Not only musically but also mentally - your serenity, consistency, dedication, strife for perfection - it inspires me to keep working.
I love your videos! I am a bass player (mainly classical) and I use your videos for inspiration. It's authentic and that's the beauty of it! Keep making these, they are awesome!
Thanks. This and the"Resolution" meditation exercise has brought me full circle, to my youth. When I practiced every lick I got off records or where ever.until it was in my vocabulary. Information was scarce then if you could not afford a good teacher and or did not know what a good teacher was. But there were gigs and the opportunity to play what you knew. You had to develop nerves of steel just to play improvised solos in whatever kind of group you were in . and you had to progress and or keep on the move to at least hear your self in different contexts. Don't give up!
This is what Claudio Arrau taught. The fluidity and liquid beauty in the melodies when the notes are like water flowing naturally. I can hear this in your last example. Thanks
Nice sound! I play trombone and am using the time to keep my embouchure in shape and work on fundamentals. I play in a community band with mostly old geezers. I'm a junior geezer myself.😊 Aging is a real pain! Keep shredding!
Thanks for sharing your studies, they are useful, deep and provide lots of material for me as a player. (You should look the video of Ben Levin: Danceable Shreds)
We can only think of beauty All distance is nothing All nothing is an equation Therefore distance is nothing because of equation. Enthymeme of equation is distance because of nothing Epicures of nothing is distance because of equation Deathly top heavy over Styx ?
These are great sounds....but the notechoices are fairly simple...On maj7 chords you play maj-pentatonic from the 5th (you can also start the maj-p on the 2nd-> lydian#11 sound)...on the sus-chords you play maj-p from the 7th... it is the mind that is the limiting factor...(at least mine ;-) to change from one to the other...as always very (!) inspiring content...thanx a lot for that...stay well
i miss personally freedom of rythm I miss the improvisation aspect...it sounds to be honoustnverynwell done already shredding is somthingbt that isnanresult and not main goal I think In pmayed once with a blacknsopranon saxplayer from new york he made me crynhe playedmon gteenndolphinsteet with a lot of shredding in my ears shredding needs tonbemsonfast that it is notnhearable whatbyou play it nees madness addes to the loads of practicing....I encourage even more paterns uneven with noth contiuniy pmayed but more rests...other wise it sounds to mechanical.m...
this is rather too deep things to practice in terms of jazz improvisation however, imho in my 20s I don't feel it's necessary. nevertheless, I won't wonder if I change my mind in 20 more years
I am 62 years old. Tomorrow I celebrate 40years of "no day job". The easiest way to find adequate time to practice was to play music for a living . I encourage you to use these resources . there are less gigs of any kind now,but way more practice resources. What ever you truly ingrain in your mind is the basis of your future. when you attain the ability to work/improvise from a hypnotic/trance state you will have very little awareness of the content. In order to trust your self you have to take Charlie Parker,Trane, all of the Masters seriously ." Learn every thing you can, and then forget it on the band stand. You are fortunate to have these resources.USE THEM NOW!
@@davidjordan5175 I struggle practicing while working in a non musical environment for a living and I can't just leave saxophone, I love jazz so much during the lockdown this is the best time to continue practicing more. I transcribe different solos and finally decided to continue with a teacher who can obviously help me to get over what I am now thanks for cheering!
@@davidjordan5175 also, improvising on a melody instead of harmony is a great achievement I believe. like Lester and Bird did, this is a very hard to achieve thing but I'm leaning toward it with all my nature of loving jazz and hope one day I'll find the approach to express my thoughts through a melody without a singe unnecessary note. for now, there are many unnecessary notes ahead
@unfinishedx this exercise displayed in the video will give you greater intimacy on your musical lines, this will allow you to make much more cleaner less risk “in the moment” decision making at higher bpms. This then grants you the ability to avoid the pitfalls of dry rote regurgitation (from your collection of licks/riffs). Hopefully I explained this well. It is a more profound exercise in nature but has true benefits.
I watch your videos for two reasons:
1. Knowledge and inspiration
2. Therapy
Thank you for all you do
This is just what I needed as a Fusion Jazz guitarist. Back to the basics and focus. Thanks for the lesson.

Hip, beautiful sound and phasing over these chord changes.
That tone you have is sublime.
I totally love this.
I need to practice more patterns like this.
Thanks for sharing Nick, hope your family and you are doing well!
... and most of all: you have a very beautiful tone.
Thank you so much for everything you put out. I play trombone and your videos have helped me a lot with flexibility and soloing in general.

We can only think of beauty
All distance is nothing
All nothing is an equation
Therefore distance is nothing because of equation.
Enthymeme of equation is distance because of nothing
Epicures of nothing is distance because of equation
