    I like the calm demeaner.... Thank you for not screaming in voice or music.

    For blues players not quite ready to rap their minds around jazz, this is the kind of lesson to take you playing a step closer. Jack your teaching just keeps getting better and better. I am proud to be supporting your work. Thanks

    Pre-chording out the solo at the beginning was a perfect illustration of C-A-G-E-D, Then adding a priority stack of: 1) know where you're going (chords), 2) find your arpeggios, and 3) know and and the appropriate scales and 4) connect them fluidly, is a compact masterclass I will spend the next month inhabiting. Thank you for the great roadmap.

      Agreed Professor Rockstar! While this is a 10 minute explanation, getting down the application of these approaches will take some very focused practice (which I am looking forward to). Jack has put in the work and the time over years to understand and play this way, and we should expect no less. I I am coming to appreciate more and more that there are no shortcuts…!

    Two things.
    1. Just realized that it says that's a '68 ES-335. 🫠 that's amazing.
    2. I call you the Mr. Rogers of guitar. You're so kind and soft spoken about everything you teach and I learn how to be a better guitar player every video. Thank you for all the lessons you create for us. 🫡

  • @VintageTubeTone
    @VintageTubeTone Год назад

    Jack, this is so expertly explained. Linking the dominant 7th arpeggios to chord shapes up and down the neck and then to each Mixolydian scale is so insightful for playing the changes.

  • @mikerathgeber8057
    @mikerathgeber8057 11 месяцев назад

    Really great lesson! I'm determined to master every lick in this video and I really liked the chord progression segment. I had to really concentrate on getting the order of the chords but after a few tries everything came into focus. A big tool in my tool kit!!

  • @sdfswords
    @sdfswords 11 месяцев назад

    Great stuff, Jack, good breakdown, I use the chord shapes as my cues and landing zones for lead riffs. So easy, really, no problem staying in the pocket that way.

  • @guitarnerd4099
    @guitarnerd4099 Год назад

    Thank you Jack! Since studying your playing I've massively improved my phrasing and I've noticed it's because I'm associating each lick with a specific chord and I'm now waiting for the right moment to use my vocabulary and subsequently adding impactful space feels quite natural now.
    I've been focusing on listening, visualizing, and internalizing each interval relative to the tonal center. I mapped out the intervals in the key centers and adjoining relative modes for both Major and Minor keys to visualize the music within the fretboard. To better internalize I recommend practicing the same lick using the same notes in each position/relative mode you're working on to visualize and create new muscle memory. It's a lot of info to learn so only focus on one new position of the fretboard at a time. For example, Natural minor and after learn the adjoining Major, and then relative Dorian.
    I really wanted to do a focused training on strictly chord tones because I know it will link everything I know together but haven't had the motivation until now, so thank you!!

    Brilliant. I never thought of playing the chords in their various positions during the progression. That really helps illuminate the possibilities. Great stuff as always. Love your teaching style Jack.

    Thank you Jack I’m looking forward to employing these ideas… I have been approaching blues soloing from the scale perspective, and I’m fairly decent at it, but my blues solos pretty much sound like… You got it… Scales! So I can hardly wait to get into the practice room with this stuff. Thank you for sharing your knowledge with us mere peasants 😂.

    Great teaching. Are you using an Xotic pedal for the dirt? Sounds great.

  • @jmc7581
    @jmc7581 Год назад

    Jack, this is (as usual) a great lesson, helping remind us to “mind our chords”! One question tho - I don’t want to entirely abandon the minor blues scale - the friction of the flat 3rd against the chord, and the sour flat 5 - in favor of pure dom7 chord tones and mixo scales. There must be a middle ground! Maybe?

  • @mikerathgeber8057
    @mikerathgeber8057 11 месяцев назад

    the dodo that left the nasty comment obviously has no life and probably no friends and perhaps spends most of his time posting messages of that nature.....I say flush it. I just wanted to say I'm digging this lesson immensely and I noticed that you can extend the solos you play by mixeing and matching the solo of a lesson you posted a while ago: How To Play Over a 1-4-5 Progression 3 Levels as they are both in the key of G.

  • @mercercraft7224
    @mercercraft7224 8 месяцев назад

    I have been working this lately, like a month or so. It's very hard and lots of mistakes being made. Plus now sound like just hitting random 'chord tones' without much of a real solo. Oh well, I'll keep at it.

    Is a dominant 7th scale the same as a major scale with the flat 7th in place of the major 7th?

    Your lesson is good blues but it’s drinking from a firehouse. Breaking down chords in caged theory and solos in specific scales Is needed
