    Hi Denis, I recently discovered your channel while learning to use SoundSlice. This must be the 4th time I’m watching this lesson, and will probably watch it a few more times. I like your teaching approach. I also your language approach to music. I started to learn to play the guitar in Jan 2022 at 70, trying out Blues and some Jazz. This year I want to focus on Jazz. I have learned the melody of Blue Bossa and now want to learn how to improvise. I will stay for a while and buy some of your courses at SoundSlice. Thank you for this lesson. There is quite a lot here. 👍👍👍

    Good job Denis, so many jazz musicians struggle to explain the basic approaches, which makes it really hard when you start. Key centres are a great way to get going on songs with structures friendly to that approach (and most are). Triads also great, but can lead to listener fatigue very quickly if you don't give them some personality :)

    • @DenisChangMusic
      @DenisChangMusic  3 года назад +3

      Yes indeed many are friendly to this approach to varying degrees. I really like Blue Bossa, because it’s not just one key and you fake your way around, there’s just one extra sudden key shift. Enough to force the student to be aware of when to switch. With Autumn Leaves, you can kind of fake your way in only one key since both keys share the same key signature. At the end of this video, I talk about different tiers of songs. I don’t think songs like Body and Soul or There Will Never Be Another You are appropriate for complete beginners. Those tunes are not too difficult but are part of another tier that requires the abilities that could be easily developed while working on songs from the Blue Bossa tier.

Et est ce que sur cet arpège il faut rajouter d'autres notes ?

    This might be a topic for another video but I particulary watched this one because this is a tune I've found difficult to negotiate on a solo, phrasing-wise, without ending up with all the lines sounding rhythmically the same. Probably because it's a groove tune. I'm always curious what different players will do with simple groove tunes like this, and say St. Thomas. And as I listen to some of the version, I see that even some of the great players end up with the same problem :) Others don't and handle it in a way that I think sounds great. Joe Henderson, for instance was great, and also the Pat Martino. and also a more straight Latin one I found (at least for the groove) Joscho Stephan and Peter Autschbach, and Joe Pass was great on the phrasing against the groove.

I have yorgui, Tschavolo (i love watching him), stochelo and a few of Angelo Debarre.

    Hello Denis, do you think gypsy picking and rest stroke is a trick now because alternate picking is more efficient. REGARDS.

    • @DenisChangMusic
      @DenisChangMusic  3 года назад

      Hi. Hmm I don't know hahaha I think on acoustic guitars there is a very distinct tone with that technique, but on electric guitar, it's not as easy to hear. Using that technique also makes certain phrases that were made with that technique a bit easier to play. I guess it's just different. I think for sure that modern technique is more versatile in general though. It's a very hard question to answer. But also, different people mean different things from "Gypsy Picking". Like it does it mean using rest strokes, or floating the wrist. If it's floating the wrist, there are some players who alternate pick using a floating wrist, like many jazz guitar players in Hungary
