In my opinion, this is your most beautiful and most effective lesson because it is a practical lesson and this is what a student is made of. Thank you very much. I enjoyed and learned
So much great material here. I had no idea how to negotiate these changes and you laid out at least an half a dozen serious exercises to help get this under your fingers. Another amazing lesson!!
Our little jazz sextet has just put this in the pad and I was struggling to solo round the changes. Now I have something to ‘get my teeth into’ Thanks Mikko !
Thank you Mike I needed this pep talk, kick start because I've struggle with long phrasing over quick changes which just don't work and you find your lost in the form.....
Very good lesson! And very good point at the end. Even if it's the same or similar lick, no one is going to play it exactly the way you do so learn this stuff. To be completely honest, the average listener can't even tell a difference if it's a pattern or not. Some players need to get out of their own way.
Hi Mikko, In my opinion, you are a genius player! a pity that you stopped your soloing right there...I did practice a lot in my life, (mainly classical music Jazz on the side) but you studied an amazing amount if I am right...Like way way beyond, I can hear that Great to hear you play , just so musical!!!
nice patterns to ease the way through the changes! I'm working that on my sax in all 12 keys (I am missing my guitar sometimes, I wish I could play the same pattern by just shifting my left hand). Increasing speed is tough, it'll take weeks at least to reach fast-tempo
by the way your pattern #2 is only using notes from the wholetone scale. quite a nice hack because there're only two wholetone scales so I can spam this pattern on my saxophone pretty easily. it won't replace learning stuff in 12 keys but it can be helpful as a safety net
I really dig your impro on Moment' s Notice,,actually i often come back to this as i m having quite an hard time to play it fluenlty at 200bpm,,you re playing is great
I was wandering why you didn't use altered scale on all those II V's, do you think that doesn't work? or where you adapting to beginner level ? Please explain.when you have a little time...I am now writing all your examples in, + some GMC's generic modality compression, I am woking at this moment with three different ones two that you came up with I foud one realy nice one on a dominant that realy sound Scolfieldish: on A7: G CBbC. C# FEb... and also nice what my Teacher did was drwaing them in the circle of fifths what than happens is you can see for instance that in Em7 b5 Lcrian that for instance the other 6 tones are: Bb F C > G D A so this is than the symmetrical version two sus4 chords...and you could play also as a scale of course...I like those findings a lot...
Those "dominant craziness" licks \i did study them also a lot, I had the lucky opportunity to study with a teacher who told me "that those things not learned when you're young, forget about them when you're 50 you'will be to late." I studied for him one half year 9 houis a day Giant Steps He said: "If you are able to play Giant Steps, ypu are able to play anything afterward...I took his advise seriously..He let me make 50 formulas of course with a few that are famous to get started...I never stopped making those formulas actually...
Great playing!!! I have the same Godin Grand Concert guitar as you. I also play jazz, but I struggle getting a good sound like yours. It always sound kind scratchy. I plug into an Evans jazz amp. Can you give me any tips that would improve my sound? Thank You Kevin Sterchi
Thank you! To get the Jazz tone I roll off the high of the eq on the guitar. Here I'm playing through a Tanglewood amp. Try to turn down the high frequency slider almost completely on the guitar.
Still great lesson maybe it handy to tell the less experienced players.how shoyld applie this to.G7 alt where the line has to be flatted....matbe nice to.do.ones.a.continuation lesson on this.on.with.other.stuff appled like maybe GMC? Generic modality compression

Thanks. Yes I found these patterns useful when trying to play this tune. Glad you like it
wow, what a phenomenal lesson from a phenomenal player!
Lewis Cannon thank you! 😃

fantastic lesson and presentation - truly useful information in bite sized / do-able segments.
Great lesson, Mikko!
Thank you, maestro!
Brilliant video man! Just the devices I was looking for.
Very good lesson! And very good point at the end. Even if it's the same or similar lick, no one is going to play it exactly the way you do so learn this stuff.

Thanks Mikko, great help for getting into the tune.
Really clear explanation. I'm a tenor player and have this style of approach, which needed developing. Many thanks for your ideas.
Glad you like it
Always musical! Great technique and great time! Really inspiring!
Daniel Rainard thank you!!! 🤠
Hi Mikko thanks for sharing your ideas. I was looking for some fresh ideas on how to teach this myself and your video really helped. Thanks
Dan Forshaw I'm glad you like it. It's inspiring that people are watching. Makes me want to keep going! 😁😁😁😁
Great Lesson, thanks!!

Thank you Mikko. Very usefull lesson; great insight for this piece. 👏🏽
Very useful, you're a terrific player btw!
Again thank you for this nice insight, I didn't know this one, makes sense!
Good lesson , rock solid advice
Thanks you :)

Nice! Don"t worry too much about fast tempos 🙂 get the pattern under your fingers and in your ears. Speed can come later, I think.
@@Mikkokosmos I know, I am a big fan of 60 bpm practice :)
Great lesson, basicly you gotta get in to get out
Thank you I have to play this on a gig tomorrow and I need help :-D
by the way your pattern #2 is only using notes from the wholetone scale. quite a nice hack because there're only two wholetone scales so I can spam this pattern on my saxophone pretty easily. it won't replace learning stuff in 12 keys but it can be helpful as a safety net
amazing lesson. thanls a lot. i'll check your other lession vids...cheers from italy

Great stuff bro!
Roan McCormick thank you! 😃

subbed! great content and tasty nylon action ; )
Thank you, yeah I love the nylon strings :)
Yeah, nice sound Mikko, me too, bud i need more scales!
Thanks!!

Pretty hot guitar player ,this Mikko.
😎😎😎😎
Also what you play sounds like "chops" to me. Chops are licks that work ..Nowadays people start to call everything a lick..
