    Outstanding Video Ben. Great exercises. In my humble opinion, the most important thing about Scales, Arpeggios and Chords as it relates to Jazz is, in addition to Practicing Exercises it's also important to practice all of this while Applying Actual Jazz Language and Phrasing to it. If all we practice is exercises then when we play a Show, Recording Session or Jam Session it's going to sound like an Exercise. Thanks Again.

      Thanks so much for watching, Michael. And yes, I agree completely - I’ve talked about this in some of my other videos, and I go into more depth in my How To Practice Vol. 3 course. I agree 100% 😃

    Great approaches, I really like the "backwards" scale

  • @jackwilloughby239

    This is a very good and comprehensive approach. One I wish I knew about when I was 11, instead of 65. The only thing I would add is to start keeping a Notebook of Scales that you find in Transcriptions and Songs. I had noticed this before, but it really hit me in the scale used in the chorus of the song "Yeh Yeh" from "the Queen's Gambit". Now that I'm aware of this, the way Composers use scales really just leap out at me. So much so that I've been going back and watching some of the older musicals: "Annie get your Gun", etc.
    A few nights ago I watched "Flower Drum Song" and Westside Story" back to back. I was amazed to hear how these two Composers: Richard Rodgers and Leonard Berstein had solved some of the most complex Ideas: Lydian, Diminished, Octave Displacement, Utilizing the #9. And that these musicals came out in the same years that Miles and Train and Dave Brubeck were making their most influential Albums. Good lesson! Cheers Mate.

    This is a great lesson... Playing the scales in different intervals is a little confusing but it sounds awesome ! 😝

    hi, thanks for the video ! I have a question regarding fingerings ; when it comes to scale patterns (3rds, 4ths etc) most of the time we have to barre two strings - do you recommend this technique or should I try to come out with a specific fingering (different from the one when playing the scale straight up & down) to avoid using the same finger for the same fret on two adjacent strings ?

    I need long fingers like yours to play scales correctly.

    The early scale examples remind me of 'Flying' by The Beatles!

    hey Ben, great stuff here, thanks for the lesson!! Quick question, do you think cutting your hair affected your playing at all? I'm scared to cut mine and lose all my chops! Thank you for the great lessons!

    • @beneunson
      @beneunson  Год назад

      Thanks for watching! I think I’m playing better now with short hair, but I worry that I lost a certain “fire” when I cut the hair… 😆 I’ll probably grow it back!

    Single-string scales improved my playing more than anything else I've tried I think.
