James (Metheny) - Barry Greene Video Lesson Preview

A great lesson on Pat Metheny's "James". This is a fantastic study on playing melodically, and understanding voice leading when dealing with predominantly triadic harmony. It's a deceptively simple tune that requires the improviser to think completely differently... Included is a section on using three note voicings and why they are an important part of your comping vocabulary.

If I didn't know it was you playing, I would think it was Pat Metheny himself! You have captured his tone!

I remember working on this when it first came out, I think it was 1980. Around 40 years ago. Boy time sure does fly! Again, excellent job!

Can't wait for this one Barry! So much of the stuff we learn for traditional standards doesn't get it happening on Metheny tunes. Look forward to you showing us what works. And lovely performance btw.
