Yes. Barcelona. Thank you. Such a great distinctioin. "Hearing ahead" versus "reacting" to the chord that I am on seems the crux of the matter. I know that I really *know* a tune, when I can "hear ahead" and therefore relax into the natural (mysterious) unfolding of a melodic phrase coming through me. Nice incremental approach to incorpating and elaborating guide tones.
When I first switched fr classical to jazz 6 mos ago and saw "guidetones,' I was like 'what is this - skeletal remains of chords?' Getting it, very useful - yes they 'guide' ... These are my"go to" videos in the early a.m. before I start my own practicing. Great for inspiration, and getting the music part of my brain waked up. What's helpful? The incremental approach - very simple to complex (well, for us learners it's complex, you're at a whole 'nother stratosphere). Enjoy yr sabbatical semester! Well-deserved!
Hello JS !! The best class on Guid tone I've seen to date. I have a lot of good jazz books, but your book has come to occupy first place in my studies. My intention was to follow your book by doing a study, first superficial, and then go back and delve into it, taking more care of each topic, and going deeper into each one. But, in the first few pages, I realized that I wouldn't be able to do this, I gave up. Each topic is approached in an absolutely intelligent and creative way, which makes us feel bad about leaving it behind -- even committing to come back, as I said before. Today, right after seeing this class, I had the renewed joy of having already bought the book. Then I thought like this: Does the JS book have this particularity? That of making you happy as you continue your studies or watch the video lessons. I thank GOD for having been able to buy JS's book and ask for many blessings in the life of this great musician and teacher.
Sorry for the late reply to this incredibly nice message. First of all, I'm so happy I've been able to help you on your journey! That makes me really happy! I'm honored and wishing you lots of luck (and perseverance)!
Been following your videos since around the 3k follower mark, very happy that you're getting the attention that your content deserves! I really want to dig into this guide tone line concept. For a tune like Lady Bird, would you strictly stick to 3rds and 7ths and accept an occasional small leap or would you rather deviate to other chord tones to keep a stepwise motion going?
I'd start with 3rds/7ths until they're totally mastered. Once you feel great about those, you might enjoy some of the techniques from this video: ruclips.net/video/0hQXFADTjtY/видео.html
@@JeremySiskind targeting Guidetones as color notes are a great way to guide your improv. Been using them as chords also in left hand (3 and 7) for comping
@@JeremySiskind Let me know if you can't find the book and I'll send you a pdf-the first chapter is really everything you're talking about here. Have you ever met/played with him?
@@isaacbeen2087 thanks! I was in a masterclass with him once but didn’t have too deep of interactions with him. He’s a couple of generations my senior.
May I ask you whose recordings are good to learn articulation for melody of "Afternoon in Paris"? Any particular horn players and vocalists you recommend?
Hey there! I'm on sabbatical next semester, so the next offering will be January 2024. The best time to apply is mid-November. Thanks for your interest!
@@tioliak ah, sorry, I play on an actual piano. I don’t know too much about keyboards. Generally, Casios are very appropriate for beginners and are lightweight so very portable.
Barcelona! Enjoy your honeymoon, knowing that here in Australia your students are working hard…. With improvs sounding a less of a dogs breakfast. (If I may say so myself🫤)
No matter what Instrument you play, best Jazz education channel on RUclips
That's so very nice! I"m honored - thank you!

So many great ideas here - many thanks, Jeremy. Have fun in Barcelona!
My pleasure, Cliffy! Thanks for checking out the video!
@@JeremySiskind Always, Jeremy - your lessons are invaluable.
Barcelona indeed! Thank you for the excellent lesson.
Barcelona Boogie Ballad Boppers. Excellent and informative 🌹⭐🌹
Hahah, the only B's missing are "Brenda" and "Boykin"

Excellent lesson!
Awesome! So glad you liked it, Nick. Happy practicing!
enjoy Barcelona, Jeremy! such great stuff here
Many thanks, Dave! Have a great one!
This is just what I was looking for. Sound quality isn't the greatest but it's a tutorial, not a concert :) Thanks
Awesome. Thanks for watching - I think my sound is better and better all the time? (but maybe that's just wishful thinking)
Great lesson! thank you 👍
Thank you, Jeremy. Barcelona, ENJOY! Interesting and immediately useful. 🌹🌹🌹🌹😎
Yay! Thank you much, Brenda!
Whoa Jeremy!
You keep dropping gems like this … and … and I’m gonna be auditioning for the Ed Sullivan Show.
Wait … that’s so … last century
I'm afraid I don't 100% get it, but I'll smile and nod 😂

Do you know the book "Forward Motion" by Hal Galper? some of the ideas here are shared with that book.
I don't. Very cool and good to know - I think really highly of Hal Galper!
@@JeremySiskind Let me know if you can't find the book and I'll send you a pdf-the first chapter is really everything you're talking about here. Have you ever met/played with him?

Very helpful. I'm waiting for your books to arrive...thank you so much!
Fantastic! I hope you enjoy them when they do!

Hi Jeremy still always interesting I work on volume 2 are you intend to write a third volume best regards
Book 3 is in the works now! I bet it will come out before you finish book 2, but I'm really happy you're working on the material, kenny!
Are you offering the Jazz course at Fullerton this fall? If so, when should I apply?
Hey there! I'm on sabbatical next semester, so the next offering will be January 2024. The best time to apply is mid-November. Thanks for your interest!
did not expect to see Scarlatti's biggest fan here :/
Hi Jeremy! What piano are you using?
I have a Mason & Hamlin at home…but I’m a Yamaha artist and always recommend Yamahas 😉
@@JeremySiskind Great! What Yamaha piano do you recommend for beginner playing jazz? I travel a lot, so portability is a must
@@tioliak ah, sorry, I play on an actual piano. I don’t know too much about keyboards. Generally, Casios are very appropriate for beginners and are lightweight so very portable.
0:15 I knew there was a string orchestra hiding in there somewhere...
Haha, thanks, I do my best. 😜

I'm so happy to hear that! And I'm happy your dog is still eating well. 😉
