Jazz Guitar Lesson: Minor Blues

[skwp]

is this a 'lesson' in the sense that you've schooled our asses? if so, you have done a great job :)

hi professor...

thats a really nice sound you got.

how do u get that train sound??

what kind of Substitutions do u use?

i been working on trying to got that sound but i cant crack the code....please help...ur a realy great guitarist...thanks

[ProfessorOKaine]

sorry for the late reply. i have to be honest and tell you that i'm only thinking about a standard minor blues and am conscious of the "right notes" and which ones might be considered "wrong." after that I use my ears really. if you can get your hands on scott henderson's "improvisation" video (it's an old one), it'll change your life. it did mine.

wheres the lesson?

Great playing!! what thumb pick are you using? I've been willing to change my picking technique I saw craig wagner playing at a jazz camp but i guess I'm too afraid.

Also because I don't have anybody to teach me a proper technique... do you know any material that could help me out?

Thanks! Love your guitar!

i'm using a Fred Kelly thumb pick. search it on the internet. it's a Bumblebee xheavy!

Hi,

You sound very nice, thoughtful and creative. Where are you based?

Regards,

John Stowell

[ProfessorOKaine]

Thanks very much John!! I've always enjoyed your playing as well. Nothing like playing to a play-a-long?!?! Based in Miami.

[ProfessorOKaine]

It's a McCarty Hollowbody 10-top! Love it. I just crowned/dressed the frets (myself..yes I do that too) and its even more lovely than ever before!
