This reminds me of the ear training exercises my old bass teacher would have me do. He'd have me sing a drone or a variety of scale tones I'd have call out by name and play against a keyboard drone or chord. Your exercise is a little more contextualized and easier to digest. I find contextualized instructions to be far easier to remember and evocative of real music. Good lesson - I would like to see more on improvisation.
@@cursedswordsman I was very fortunate. He studied under Gary Willis at the Musicians Institute and worked for years in Japan at various music academies. Unbelievably heavy musician - real teachers break you open. I'm trying to relearn some of what he once taught me after years away from serious study.
I love watching your channel even though I understand maybe half or 80% of everything at best which is a shame considering I am playing music since 20 years. In this video I really felt like I was amidst the subject and able to take everything in. Thanks a million man! I'd say keep doing intermediate to advanced stuff but throw in some beginner lessons occasionally.
This is pretty good . Mostly coz its easier to grasp for the layman who is ot exactly a beginner. BTW the guy on " Jazz duets " [RUclips ] explained / demonstrated this by playing his horn over the changes of All the things You are to demonstrate the Triad usage and eventually the extensions . Its easier to memorize the sound when played on a horn . Thanks .
Dude, I stopped practicing arpeggios and 7th chords in favor of scales for about 2 weeks and it's like I haven't done it for months! I think I will vary it now, for example - playing 2 octave major and harmonic scale and 2 octave minor and melodic 7th chord/arpeggios...
Hi Anthony, thanks for making this video as I too often find myself trying to learn intermediate/advanced stuff whereas deep down I know that my fundementals aren't strong and need to be worked on before moving into fancy stuff, so this video definitely will help in that regard. Just wanted to ask you about the singing part though, I've heard a lot of players recommend this, but they never really get into why it's that important therefore I would appreciate if you gave more insight on this. Is it something that just helps you develop a much stronger connection with the instrument over time so that everything becomes more intuitive or? Is it worth incorporating it into my practices no matter what I'm working on (scales, riffs, melodies etc.)?
Totally dig this, absolutely waiting for more rudimentary lessons!
Praying right now for your recent hand issues. Excellent teaching!
Much thanks as some of this will show up in my church on Sunday morning!
