People must really be dumb to think this is improvisation. This is an etude from a book! Nevertheless a great performance of a fantastic written etude. I have this book and I don't have the sight reading skills that this guy has. Great work! I hope to be able to sight read this one day.
They would make good sight-reading exercises, but they really need to be memorised and internalised if the ideas are going to be used in actual jazz improv. I didn't sight read them myself.
i like your tone very much! im trying to learn more patterns from you... kindly post more of your tutorial vdo's if possible. appreciate it very much... your doing good contributions for those who starting playing jazz... thanks alot keep up the good job. (your fellow guitarist)
He is just playing the Joe Pass exercises. The blues choruses with all 8th notes are just exercises to get you accustomed to the changes, not something you would actually play at a gig or anything.
Try starting simpler, just 4 or 5 note licks for a chours or so, then build the difficulty as the song goes on. Different rythms would help a lot too. I've watched 3 of your videos, and you sound exactly the same through all of them. You have excellent tone, and technique, but it sounds a little choppy.
Thanks for the advice, all you guys, but they actually sound pretty much how Joe Pass wrote them in the book, as it says in the description of the clip.
ya but it's jazz you can change up some stuff if you want. but NOT THE MELODY. you can change everything but the melody. also put some more energy into it. it looks like you are really bored playing this.
thanx a lot, I like this approach of working, I've finished the 1st chorus (with the two ending, I play it with you, really thanks, it's easier when you hear someone playing it like a backing track and you have a good level
really cool!! two weeks ago, I saw this video and I just take the book ( I owned it since months but never worked it)and I began to work and I have just a question wich may help me;
Some I learned many years ago, and have re-learnt them a few times over the years, so they don't need much time to refresh. The new ones I add 4 bars each day, takes about 15 minutes a day. When I've got about 3 choruses done I play them together for about an hour with BIAB, slowly increasing the tempo. I have learnt whole choruses in a day in the past, but now I do just a bit a day like a warming up thing. I'll keep doing more if they are any help.
I thought that Wes Montgomery was good, and then I heard you. WOW!!! Where can I get your album? And who is in your band? They are ROCK SOLID!!! Your bass player sounds like Paul Chambers.
Bb key?

Oh, I'm sorry. I thought you were improvising over Joe Pass chord changes. My bad then, excellent work.
