Guitar Lesson: Jazz Licks

[MrAxSAP]

2:16 you say a G7alt chords, I've seen in sheetmusic chords names like Galt, and so on, what does that mean? Can I alter anything I want..?

[Esbenmad]

@MrAxSAP Usally you would alter the 5th to a sharp or flat 5th, and you could alter the 9th to a flat or sharp 9th, or a combination of the two approaches. A nice scale to use here is the altered dominant scale: 1 b9 #9 3 b5 b6 and b7. As you can see it includes all the altered notes:-)

[chelseagrin1992]

slow it please :((

[Savvas1211]

what is the ''altered'' scale?

[consul1957]

Thanks for posting!

[andjoeabhimanyoe]

[slippingontheslide]

that guitar has a very short neck??

[slippingontheslide]

you are retarded for not getting such an obvious joke.

[crackerjacknix]

I know right? It's so obvious...well...it is retarded. I probably would not have made fun of you if I thought you were being serious. I just wanted to let you know I thought your joke was dumb.

[slippingontheslide]

lol, why did yo say it had a split screen if you knew i was jokiing, you were obviously taking me seriously.

[Bluesy345]

your an idiot. The video has been cut so u can see what he plays and how he plays it with both hands. The picking hand and the chord hand.

[slippingontheslide]

don't call me an idiot your idiot.

if you think i was being serious you're an idiot.

[ianwalter3]

@slippingontheslide hahahahah no they cut it out to show both hands! ahhaha

[Larzei1]

[sipimanify]

[gofusiesbass09]

[1projectreality]

@ColtonSaylor713 ya i agree im in varsity jazz at my high school and its improved my playing so much

[Vebbster]

@ColtonSaylor713

Now that's poetry

[paulb7]

@ColtonSaylor713

One of the funniest comments I've ever read on YouTube. So basic...right to the point.

[smokinweed1818]

i love jazz guitar, but it's really hard!

[hailbelial666]

you my friend, are a fucking idiot.

[musicman69123]

tehmaninblack, jazz is full of technical stuff. You need a lot of pacience to learn it.

[spule85]

very informative, and nice guitar ;)

[MrPintGlass]

dude, good licks, but ever heard of treble?

[kenederick]

it probably sounds like that because his amp isn't being directly mic'd. and besides, that tone is great for jazz.

[ICreamsodAI]

flatwound strings as well I believe

[Mike3303]

Have you ever listened to jazz guitar at all?

[juglis]

Yes he has, but lowering the trebel is what gives the guitar that jazzy tone.

[tehmaninblack]

Looks like some tech death riffs.

But then again, same shit.

[happyo69]

good man keep practicing

[guitaristavista]

Your playing is superb! Thank you for sharing

[HappyCioran]

Your name made me laugh, especially with the way of saying it with a naive smile :D

But thx anyway, gj :)

[riskotibor80]

I take back my comment about it being spoon-fed. Useful licks, with good theoretical information around them. Thanks

[gabriel2099]

the altered lick sounds very, very nice. i'll have to start digging into altered chords and altered scales...

[lukeb101]

can somebody please tell me how to understand and compose jazz music?

[marsacko16]

@lukeb101 : transcribe!

[ceira7]

7 frets ,mini guitar ,Man thats everythting a jazz dwarf would want lol!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[ceira7]

[icesikill]

hahahahaaa i was thinking that too.. i was gonna say he have the smallest neck n the world, but then i noticed that the screen is split to show u the picking hand and his other hand LOL

[DannyDSHomebrew]

hahaha Billy Wilkie

[gagi1963andjeo]

5 stars!

[wilsonjrleon]

the chord changes are amazing

[josethegreat321]

first lick was kinda bluesy

[JensGullbrandsson]

George Benson blends in alot of blues in his phrases :P check him out if you haven't heard him, amazing guitarplayer!

[fluffhead059]

if you pause at 2:08 it looks like he is playing a 9 fret guitar.

cool video though

[Charmaniaca]

[loammiperalta]

[bgtocak]

[YOUYOU47]

I think Billy is not very tall

[billygwilkie]

I think he is a midget

[spikester3612]

does anybody know if theyve got tabs on the website, i went and looked but im a little slow and couldnt figure out where to find em (if they have them that is). Great video btw!

[dacrowster]

Hi Wilkie :)

[Lumsden20]

Haha it does look like a midget guitar or somethin'

Good lesson though... I just got into guitar and it's kinda hard at first but once you start to get it it's not too bad.

[carvalhotoze]

Amazing this licks, you're a great guitar player an excellent teather, thanks for free lessons.

[samusician]

Hi Billy, these are very nice licks for the serious guitar player. Do you have any DVDs. I admire your playing.

[artem911]

milky wilky lol

[elixirguitarist]

I hate jazz

[hyperzippoguy]

nice dude

[asdjfasdfasdf]

lol i thought he was playing a 5 fret guitar when he switched to the cutaway look at 0:43

[Silfaire]

LMAO, it DOES look like he is playing a 6 fret guitar if you are not paying attention to the fact that the screen is divided up into 2.

First time I saw that, I was like what kind of a guitar is this?!

[MEGAMIGA]

Jazz rules!!!

[scat4u]

yeeehaw
