    This is a great Jazz guitar lesson for those of us trying, mostly failing, to capture that Bebop "Feel". Because I took music theory through high school and know a lot of Jazz Standards and picked up complex ideas, I find that I am really missing fundamental concepts, just like this lesson. Thanks a million. This should be required learning for anyone wanting to learn Jazz guitar.

    You’re an excellent teacher. I never could figure out why the extra note in the Bop scale mattered. But I get your point. If I start on 3rd my line will end there. How clever!

    Very useful and clear lesson. First time I've seen a short and clear explanation of how to combine the "bebop" scale with other arpeggios. Definitely would like to see you extend it to minor and major applications too. Maybe include more etudes of all three played against some other classic changes, like the rhythm changes example for dom7 you did here. I also appreciate your always positive teaching style! I second Salvador comment. Muchas gracias maestro.

    I think that talking about the function, or purpose of the notes B natural and B flat is worthwhile- like they do in classical harmony books- the B flat is used to lead to the 4 chord- the B natural is used to go back up to the 1 chord, as the leading tone- why use them both? there must be a tonal reason-

    This is a great resource, it's a bit confusing that at the 3:55 adding arpeggios section that the music says Em7b5 but you are clearly playing Gm7b5 and then Dm7b5 even though the musical notes are correct.

    Do people really find their way around the neck by thinking about what chord they're playing and naturally just knowing what notes make up the chord, and then instantly seeing those notes on the neck? To me it seems impossible to do that spontaneously.
    Im self taught and i only rely on my ear to play the right notes as i visualize scales as kind of a map of where i can go.. I've found a way that works for me, but i'm frustrated that videos like this never make any sense to me.

    • @NathanBortonMusic
      @NathanBortonMusic  10 месяцев назад

      I think that using your ears is the most important thing! However, this stuff is to help put labels to things that people are doing. Like if you hear some sort of sound in someones playing, it's easier to communicate with theory between people. I play both with visualization of the fretboard and ear! Thanks for your comment!

      The idea behind jazz is to improvise (and colloborate) in service of the tune. People are usually curious about how others have done this and what tools enhance this ability. The greatest players acknowledge this and also carve their own path. As GB said, 'Once you hit that first note, it's all yours.' In my learning journey, I find this video's insights useful toward my personal approach to improvisation.

      @@kevinogorman3374 You apparently have not played in modern jazz groups. Many guys get downright angry if you don't play like the "pioneer" musicians of their instrument. I'm saying that poorly but what I mean is (to them) a sax player should play like Coltrane, a trumpet like Miles, a pianist like Monk, etc. They take issue with playing melodically in solos. The faster, modal, higher, and not complementing others - the better in their view. To them "rigid rules" rule.
