funk jazz blues improvisation: Ive got work to do

[CorruptorMusics]

Great playing man.  How would you say the clean tone of the SL1 is for jazz?

[spocktrometer]

@CorruptorMusics Clean tone for Jazz, with a bit of eq you can get by, but the guitars forte is not jazz in my opinion. thanks for checking out this vid.

its great but you're playing in a shred style over maceo parker, doesnt work!!! leave some gaps and use less notes!!!!!

[spocktrometer]

@Mattytheman91 Thanks for your opinion and for taking the time to watch this video!

hey you're really good !! sorry, i think you play too much notes.. but I think you that

[colgatesmile123]

Hey dude. You kick ass. But with the style of both the smokey bars and the stage-koncert. I like you, and i like your fusion the best. At bit more variation, but usin long "feeeeeeling" tunes, and i would be perfectly satisfied. But thats just my taste.

I'm looking forward to some live-vids from you at the jazzclubs, as refered to in another of your vids ;)

By the way, i like you answering to the comments and giving tips and so on, thats nice. I Respect you very much. :) keep up the good work!!

correction: "a bit more variation by playing long tunes" (the "feeeeel"-tunes-thing is something personal you know..)

Thanks again, I really value you taking the time to post your comments. Much appreciated. I have some not so high definition quality of the last few gigs ive done but its such low definition it really isnt worth viewing. I hope to film the next gig and get it posted. cheers,

spocktrometer.

improvising fascinates me, its a minor psychological phenominon IMO, your creating something out of nothing. good jam, and there seemed to be some genuine improvising in there, what with such frantic playing. The catch with 'just letting go' is sometimes that you dont give the song enough room to breath. Particularly liked the phrase u kept coming back to, where u shred up the neck, and then a really rhythmic SRV thing on the way down. With all that said, tapping got old about 15 years ago

Very very good! Your guitar perfectly accompanies Maceo!

[Borisyeltsinthegreek]

You are a guitar genius.

[thermalegoogle]

Wonderful

youve got an insane phrasing

by the way, I was wondering if you'd learnt lots of scales ? (if any) Im currently developing my improvisation but don't know any scale

[spocktrometer]

Thanks for checking out the video and for your very kind words. Your comments are vital.

Improvisation is a very personal and conceptual thing as I am sure you know. It is important to have your own concept. However, I would recommend checking out the book: "an improvisers os" by Wayne Krantz for a very logical starting point. Remember There are no scales unless you decide to call them that ;)
