I remember listening to this 11 years ago when I started playing guitar, I was amazed. Coming back to this and getting the same feeling is truly humbling, you really SWING, man!
Hey Man. I'm a serious Jazz Student and yer playing really moves me. I can see sitting in a darkened LA club in the 1950's sipping on a Scotch, smoking a cig (oh wait, I don't smoke) and grooving to your playing complete with raised thumb snaps. You really pop. Hot Stuff.
Lei è il guitarrist migliore che mai ho visto!! Lei la tecnica è impressionante!!! Chi era il suo giocatore di chitarra preferito quando lei imparava?? I Grazie per la grande musica e me perdona il mio italiano
I learned guitar and piano by ear. I think developing the ear for music is more important than the theory. In other words: You have to be able to really hear how you sound when you play and adjust your playing to what you want to sound like. However, I am taking a theory class in college now and it really has improved my musical knowledge so I can know what to play but developing that ear for music is whats going to help me to improve my skill. That probably didnt make any sense but its alright.
As a musicologist (and jazz musician, classical musician and composer) I must insist on the fact that theory can develope your playing WAY more than just playing by ear can. T. Adorno speaks, as you may now, of the 'regular listener' and the 'advanced listener'; the later being someone studying theory. Same applies to painting: Everyone can experiment with colors, but only those who know colour theory can master the paint truly. Theory is not the point of music, but it´s always an advantage. :)
To say Wes or Christian didn't know theory is based on the fact that they didn't take formal classes at school but anybody who plays guitar or piano must have some understanding of chords, substitutions and the relationship between melody and harmony,(theory)in order to play and write music as well as they did. Of course it doesn't hurt to have great ears,great feel and a sincere love of the music.-Greg Hyslop
i found the secret is in the tone of the neck pick up put ur amp on a clean channel, ruffley set everything to 1 o'clock then turn ur tone knob for the neck pickup to about 4/5 then play though the neck pick up works on my les paul though and engl :)
I have watched his videos and had the same thought, how can I learn this. I dont think this can be taught, in my beginners opinion. This seems like years of playing coming thru his fingers, He could give the basic chords but all the subtle fills, and changes and rhythms seem so natural and require an understanding of theory and the instrument that I can only hope to begin to understand a few years from now. But I am only a beginner. but he is incredible! Good Luck. peace
This is an ear & a half. It’s years of experience & practice culminating into this performance. Some of the voicings are pretty standard, but of course sound great. However, the lines & rhythms all come from knowing the language & having a great ear. You can learn all the modes, etc & you will not sound like this. Jazz is about feel & language.
Well, I guess art will still remain art: It is what you want it to be. If say you can´t play jazz thruthfully without studying the theory that lies behind it, then that´s true. But if you, on the contrary, say that you in fact can do so, then that´s also true. A little wishy-washy maybe, but that´s how art works. Bach´s cello suite no. 1 in G major is art. But John Cage´s "4'33" is most certainly also art. Whatever floats your boat... :)

This man is, straight up, one of my very favorite musicians. Absolutely incredible.
Thanks Mjolnir!
To me this sounds like a jazzed out version of the Inspector Gadget theme song. It's awesome man.

Subscribed. This is incredible.

i found the secret is in the tone of the neck pick up
put ur amp on a clean channel, ruffley set everything to 1 o'clock
then turn ur tone knob for the neck pickup to about 4/5 then play though the neck pick up
works on my les paul though and engl :)
I enjoyed every seconds of that vid
amazing 5 stars
his cam cant keep up! truly spectacular.
muito bommm !!! muito jazz !AM !!O K USA NO IMPROVIZO????? good D +++
very nice playing, what kind of modes/scales do you centralize around? i hear a good amount of blues scaling, some chromatics, maybe? just curious
its not fake for sure
Nice one, never thought that chromatic bass so smooth with chord progression. By the way, it's A or G#?

Fulvietto! Tutti bellissimi I video! Ma ti prego: comprati una telecamera con un microfono all'altezza delle performance!
UN abbraccio
hey got any tabs.. sorry if people keep askin you i like your style its groovey ;)
sorry if people keep asking.. but do you have tabs for it.. (:S)i love your groove~
Greeeeeeaaaaaaaat !!!! raaaaaaaahhhhh !!!!!
Thanks a lot :) I'm not a huge fan of the amp too much either mainly because it's not tube driven and doesn't have the sound that I want.
I love when people shut up and play jazz
its called an overstatement, he just ment: stop asking to learn something and start practicing trough an ironic stylefigure ;)
How would I go about getting that jazzy sound on my amp? I have a marshall halfstack Mg series 100 Hdfx
@sclogse1 Thanks for the advice. However, I think I have to accept my limitations !!! LOL
I like it...yea man
cool!
I've been playing for about 2 weeks now and am finding this a bit tricky. Any tips?
@guitarslim56 10,000 hours is almost 14 years. How old are you?
bello...dove posso trovare lo spartito?
Grande
Thanks!
Ciao! Mi potresti dire su che brano hai improvvisato?
Complimenti.
Grazie
o my god:O
you're so cool
nice!
Damn man, this makes me wanna scat.

practise... practise... practise.. :)
Hey what song is this? any tabs etc?
what song is this????
wich scale are you using?
That's not how this works - certainly, not in jazz, and definitely not in any good improv.
it's an improvisation ?
In the pocket!
Jazz doesnt require theory, it requires a great feeling!!!
@Ladiesman534
try to learn it by ear
nothing is based on theory
@TheJohnRitchie
Take it apart, practice little bits at a time...slower.
After about another 3-4 days...no prob.
dont carry the watch = =
You kinda sound like it? lol
'Jazz doesn't require theory'
gtfo.
nice
