  • If you want to know how to solo over songs and jazz standards, but feel like there is a huge gap between playing a blues or a song that has 1 center, and songs that are harmonically much more complex, this video is for you! Today, I'll explain in 8 steps how to CRUSH any jazz solo. We'll work on the song Solar (Miles Davis) for the examples.

    Amazing video man! I continued to work on All The Things You Are after we last talked, and I can now solo over it pretty easily. However, I struggle with hearing the music in my head and the melody simultaneously. The anchoring point and triads practice in this video seems to be really great ways to work on that. So I'm gonna try that next. Thank you so much!

      I'm pretty sure his looping pedal that has a drum track on it (anything more than a ditto looper has that) is going through the same delay that's on his guitar.

    At around :34 you mentioned the ease and inclination towards blues and modal playing. I've heard you play blues and I've heard myself and others in my circle... there's a gap in that type of playing as well and it has nothing to do with theory or chops. Your blues sounds like story telling that projects your thumbprint into our ears (ew). Mine sounds... not like that, hehehe. I've been knee deep in the blues as of late, seems to fit 2020 quite well. Anyway, playing the blues convincingly--whether you are chasing Grant Green or Albert King--is quite challenging. Sticking to a theme, elaborating on a theme, call and response. These words are empty phrases until you really apply them to your craft. I think playing modal is one of the most challenging things to do as an improviser. I mean, doing it convincingly--like Miles or 'Trane did. Could you teach a lesson on the blues or modal playing that has little to do with theory or chord sub's and more to do with melodicism? Could you do another lesson on that? Loved this lesson as well, it just made me think of the blues and playing modal--the way that we amateurs often fall short of taking the time to learn everything that these "basic forms" have to offer because we yearn for more "advanced" theoretical concepts. Most of the old masters, including Dexter Gordon, said that they continued to refine their blues and rhythm changes playing throughout their playing careers. "There ain't no jazz without the blues" is the constant refrain.

      Yes pickinstone. There are formula's and formats that the greats seem to follow (of course there is no one specifically and feeling it in the sub conscious is important. I have walked away from jazz and am going back to Freddie King and Charlie Christian transposing to ingrain it). I think Stanley Turrentine does a thing where he plays into every second bar and then rests in the early parts of his improvs. It has such purpose, destination and you can feel it is going there and when he lands you get all gooey inside cause you know yes that is the resolution that is where he was going. Yes it is about the journey but it is also about the destination. Like doing an essay to pass an exam there is a way. It is rhythmic, melodic and harmonic all at once. Thanks Rotem for all your wonderfull insights and teachings.

    • @pickinstone

      @@gggomez9764 your name looks oddly familiar, but I would rather not go down that internet memory lane... Anyway, nothing wrong with Freddie King and Charlie Christian. I would also recommend Bill Jennings, Tiny Grimes, and Billy Butler. Throw in some T-bone Walker and you've got quick the concoction. My mentor always tells me, you can't play jazz worth it's salt if you can't truly play the blues. I saw it when I studied at CCNY. The guitarists that could REALLY play jazz all came from a blues, R&B, or rockabilly background. No shame in pluming the depths of blues to get back to the roots of jazz. Theory is great, but you need way more than mathematics to play jazz--to play music--to branch out from that tree that griots planted in yesteryear.

    Solar: I play the c natural minor on the one. then is the g minor in key of F? I play the dorian as in a 251 or phrygian.... ok the lesson the melody... G minor as the 5 chord in c minor? That g minor sounds similar to G#9.... Having the natural minor go to dorian it sounds ok? ear still deciding...

      What he means is that in the melody always or usually are the same notes from the chord that is playing in that time, because if the notes are not from that chord or scale it will not sound good.
