Learning to play jazz guitar using RUclips videos is a bit of crazy idea but I always learn something from your’s. I’ll check out your website. Many thanks Jamie.
Terrific. Very clear and great how you keep unfolding the potential of just a few notes - and link them to other little devices we've been learning with you. Cheers!
Great Jamie, you don't talk too much(and get us bored along the way), you don't play too much(enough for me to process) and too fast or difficult(I actually can follow you). I've got the impression I've learned something today. Thanks, keep on making videos!! Greetings, Fran
Thank you so much. I really appreciate these little nuggets of gold. I wonder how many of these little simple eighth note licks and motifs I'll never get to know or enjoy. I am not gifted with the neuro muscular talents most players have so I have to play very simple things. Are there 10, 50, 100 or 1000 of these kinds of motifs, licks? I would be so nice to have a video compilation of the tastiest, simplest easiest to incorporate major, minor and dominant licks over short 251s and static chords like the one in this lesson.
Are you from the north-east? I like the way you call notes "nurts". You are doing a great service with these tutorials. Check out Jimmy Bruno's "No Nonsense Jazz Guitar." He's upset that someone has uploaded his entire DVD. I downloaded it just in case it would be removed. I'll check out more of your videos as extra arrows in my quiver as I catch up with musical theory/grammar after over 35 years of doing it instinctively by ear. Thanks for your tutorials.
Thanks for this video. I just decided to add the bebop Mixo scale to my repertoire, and this was a nice introduction of theory, a very convenient scale, and some nice licks. Liked and subscribed.
The lick you showed was in C and the key/scale you said you were in was G.Your lick was an example of b5 or #4 lick in C, the mosted dated 'blue note' cliche in bebop. I was confused until I figured it out.
by the way, I am trying to learn all the chords possible and imaginable. I find that the best way is to learn all the main arpeggios, to learn all the notes on the guitar (through arpeggios study) and than apply this knowledge to the identification of all the chords (some chords have similarities with 3 or 4 other chords). is it a good way to learn notes and chords?
I find that, as many people do, studying scales without having a perfect knowledge of the guitar neck becomes a bit difficult…some people memorise many scales, in a mechanic way, but I realise that they don't quite know where they are putting their fingers. I can memorise a difficult standard (the chords and comping) and learn the solo, but how can I improvise effectively if I don't master the guitar neck and the relationships between chords? Some people study in that way, just memorising some tunes, but don't have a good knowledge of all the stuff that comes before. That's what I tried to do in the past..it doesn't pay…it looks like a short cut, but you don't learn.
I am enjoying this a lot, I am watching and learning every video and then will contact you to start with skype classes. Thank you very much for your amazing work.

Nicely done. I really like using the lick to embellish another ii V lick.
Nice video dude you make it look easier than other instructional videos besides u give us a little example of how to apply it. Thx :D
Thanks!
Thx for keeping it simple, understandable and immediately useful.
I try my best... thanks!

Jamie Holroyd Guitar Nice one dude, I nearly said Leeds. I'm from Coventry.I'll stay tuned and sub.

+Jamie Holroyd Guitar
Very nice. I've been making my own arpeggios with a Bebop nondiatonic added to yield 8 notes, but of course, this is better. 🙂
The lick you showed was in C and the key/scale you said you were in was G.Your lick was an example of b5 or #4 lick in C, the mosted dated 'blue note' cliche in bebop. I was confused until I figured it out.
great lessons and way of explaining things bro!
+Alex Delarge Thank you

Wow, great lesson. I love the dominant Bebop, since the dominant Bebop was my first Bebop scale what would you recommend I go to next?
An early proponent of the Bebop Scale was John Philip Sousa (G-F#-F-E-D-C-B-A-G).
Thanks

+Doral City Map Thank you - glad you are enjoying the lesson material!
as an idea, maybe you can make your own version of christmas songs and teach them to us :) cool video by the way
Guitar sounds mellow. Stock pickups? Amp?
This can be used in jazz progressions, right?
("Fly Me To The Moon", "Blue In Green", etc.)
That's the idea! It would work great over the major ii-V's in Fly me the to the Moon.
Right on, great lesson.
Gave me a different perspective on improv.
York?
(4:04) Actually, I think the F# sounds kind of cool againt the chord. Adds tension.
Muy buena. Gracias.
You look like Justin Timberlake N'Sync era. Mad guitar lesson too
first off ,,, you might want to invest in some sort of heat.:) you're always looking cold. second , good job with the lessons.
Hahaha thanks - I have since moved to somewhere much warmer!
do I detect a be bop Leeds accent ?
Correct!
G mixolidieaan isn't in the key of G -_-.
OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOh HowClever
High there.ello.Jerry garcia do you like?
