Basic Jazz Guitar Lessons : How to Play a Jazz Guitar Solo

[TheSlapFight]

He's not playing Jazz. >.>

[winslowwong100]

go back to magic gandalf

[MrXtamar999]

old man i like your style.

[pabcq]

lol

[headHunter241]

This guy reminds me of a goat.

baaaah baaaaaaaaaah.

[DiamondMusicChannel]

i just wasted 2.23 minutes of my life looking at someone with the hairyest head ive ever seen

[zaggazoom]

OMG?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?

[negativeonhand]

You should have talked about growing facial hair!!!

[ghike30]

i now know LESS about playing guitar, than i did before ??

[diegofernandin]

I think he was drunk!.....he did nothing!......improvise and have fun???...give us a demo dude!!...hahahahah

[MisreadIntentions]

so today i'm gonna tell you about my crappy band and never mention anything about jazz..... oh and i'm gonna play some crappy scales on my crappier cort....

[mig29su27f16]

expertvillage sucks

[AlbertoLaiho]

I had forgotten that watching expertvillage videos is bad for my health, damnit...

[bruce68]

Right!! Motivation and fun are important.

[jonbob251]

I already forgot what I'm supposed to be having fun about.

[Gir77661]

You're all ignorant if you think he didn't teach you anything. When you're soloing, you just gotta play with it. Have fun. Someone can't teach you how to solo. Of course someone can teach you scales and patterns, but you have to imagine it. What he's saying is that you can't just play, you have to have fun with it. If you still don't understand what I'm saying, continue to enjoy yourself with your amazing power chords for the rest of your life.

[fixatedtruth]

holy shit... where can i get lessons from this dude? and where can i get the tabs from this wonderful lesson??

[GAFFTV]

This is hardly a lesson in Jazz Soloing, I think my title is a little less misleading...

I think "TWO MINUTES OF A GAY OLD WIZARD FUCKING AROUND ON HIS GUITAR SPEWING NONSENSE ABOUT INJECTING PIPELINES INTO A PINK FLOYD INTRO'S" would be an apt description of this video...

[Vicyad0]

he looks high xD

[vengefulsamurai]

Now I can play jazz, thanks



[superdog797]

i have learned so much from this video

[11100sam]

he looks like a sort of person who has an imaginary friend.lol

[mrpcful]

This is freaking hilarious!

[MrUrech]

that was depressing

[gfmgma]

expertvillage = worst videos ever 

[bmc31190]

thanks for the help asshole

[aBEARwithCLAWS]

yeah that was horrible. why even post this video? nothing educational whatsoever

[JasonWB007]

"Ideally, you should make your solo make sense"??? So... this is only a high-level goal? "Generally, you can play like crap and that works too..."

[VonNashman]

How to Play a Jazz Guitar Solo: buy an arch-top guitar and play Pink Floyd and Cream tunes on it.

[sonique25]

no ma-mes que pasa con la banda de expert village son todos una bola de perdedores

[wba731]

what the hell? Just have fun with it? And be sure to drop acid before you play.

[ofdmax]

I want to kill this guy with the guitar string.

[oscarcool40]

chill out guys he's prob better than all of you guys

[Korsaro1]

words and shit

[gameoverrf]

What?...I'm confused, is this guy a joke?

[bavarianlynx]

@gameoverrf

Terrible ads every time when starting an expertvillage clip!

[klogg4]

lol. didn't know Cream was a jazz band =)))

[occams99]

I tell you what man. I want that guitar. You look like you need some pudabah, quite possibly for the first time, so here's my proposal: Give me the guitar free and clear, and you can come over to my house and bang my wife for as long as you can control her. We got a deal?

[DaBbLeMoN88]

Hahaha what the fuck man seriously thats some bullshit you dont know shit

[MrPeteyRocket]

I'm gonna skin him alive with a potato peeler...

[MrPeteyRocket]

"Interest is a good point" How about the point of my knife...

[MrPeteyRocket]

I WANT TO SMASH HIS GUITAR OVER HIS HEAD, THEN TAKE THE SPLINTERS AND STAB HIS EYES OUT!!!!!!!!!!!!

[MrPeteyRocket]

I'm gonna cut his arms off...

[MrPeteyRocket]

I'm gonna stab his eyes out...

[MrPeteyRocket]

I'VE NEVER BEEN THIS ANGRY AT ANYONE, UNTIL I SAW THIS VIDEO. I'M GONG TO FIND WHERE HE LIVES, DOUCE HIM IN GASOLINE AND SET HIM ON FIRE.

WHEN HE IS SCREAMING HIS LAST SCREAM I'M GONNA SAY "THIS IS WHAT YOU GET FOR SUCKING"

[MrPeteyRocket]

He looks like one of those lesbians when they grow facial hair...

[Eva413]

i fucking hate this guy so much right now....

[johnhorneguitar]

Pink Floyd?

[rbcampbell]

Um--this is supposed to be about Jazz and all this tool does is play some piddly-ass blues licks from Pink Floyd, some Pipeline drivel and some other shit. Maybe someone should have reminded him what the topic was.

[gerjaison]

Those who have ADHD, skip to 1.30 after to start listening to any licks.

[JackDaPicker]

He doesn't demonstrate anything he says, , just all talk,,,

[jottie77]

???

[OldJong]

Doesn't seem to be able to play any kind of music except maybe some basic chords strumming and even more basic soloing! What is that video for?

[metallica04100]

dude i wanna jam with this guy

[rrksevilla]

Where's the jazz?

[kklala19]

loook at george bush! ahaha

nicee



[maxmoves64]

i never knew Generlal Custer could play:)

[Visualundeath]

I love the almost universal hatred for "experts" village.

[seppesai]

good message, bad tutorial

[feo130]

I love Pink Floyd, but this man is nuts if he thinks THAT'S jazz!!! On to the next one, I guess...

[w4weasel]

can you add some more info how do you play this? It is difficult to understand you

[vladimir0402978]

lol

[MrGuitardude12121]

dammit!

[rexasul]

"Improvise a solo over practically any chord changes"

*plays Cmaj7*

.......

[n10tan1gam1]

@rexasul I paused and laughed for a good minute when he did that. I resumed and continued to laugh at the rest of his failed antics

[tcapri]

uh, Drugs are bad...

[DiatonicSoul]

pretty funny how negative people can really be when someone is just trying to help you. there is no reason to comment about the way he looks, because you are only reflecting your own insecurities, this video is not bad at all, a good message.

[PflegerFlav]

mindblowing!

[artdencrenca]

muito loco esse cara,muito foda...

[BuddLightbrain]

...and the point of this is?

[VBSouthpaw]

@BuddLightbrain If you couldn't figure it out, then you weren't ready.

[BuddLightbrain]

@VBSouthpaw ..... there is nothing to get ready about, clearly you are not ready to see how pointless this video is!

[guitarsurfer2010]

A lot of BS

NO jazz guitar playing

The bad hair and gross beard should have warned me

[mymailtube]

Wow, very nice Catweazle look alike!

[6OUI7]

cel mai mare vacar:)))))

[marinelovesuperman]

OMG Lionel Luthor teach guitar!!!!!

the guy looks a little bit like Lionel Luthor in Smallville :D

[marinelovesuperman]

OMG Lionel Luthor teach guitar!!!!!

the guy looks a little bit like Lionel Luthor in Smallville :D

[ramiahmad93]

[Batman001]

oh man this is hilarious

[ZobiLaCheum]

:-)

[TheVinc67]

Nice one,everybody is got the right to show they ability,the courage to do that you need balls,showing how to play jazz like that.Anyway i would strongly raccomand to this guy ,get a good harmony chords and jazz licks ´books ,and learn with this materials for 5 years,then get a real book ,band in a box to play it over over again as many jazz standart as possible.You already got a nice jazz guitar ,that´s all.I see you in 5 years to show your new jazz video.PS:don´t play it to fast,slowly smooth.

[guitarmaestro078]

This guy is having the time of his life.. Unfortunately, the camera guy forgot to remind him the day of the week and what the hell the camera was for.

[halbex]

bla bla bla - your not a musician ...

[emirate25]

That is one weird looking f***

[babbersabber]

I think he isn't a bad player, sure he can play really good. But this video is just nonsense... where is a introdoction to play a jazz solo?

[xXRASHEEDXx]

he looks like someone that would be on the history channel talking about something 2012 or something.. lol

[thepanostube]

just shut the fuck and play!!!

[lukas4]

and the lesson was, have fun with it???, well that's what I say to the girlz, hey bitch!, have fun with it

[kenbendover]

just play the fucken guitar

[guitarslim56]

I want what he's smoking!

[toccata33]

@HardAsARock222 I think its a Cort?

[Am0lie]

too much talking... but nice try..

[HardAsARock222]

what is the brand of the guitar???????? anyone? :l

[pdasaro]

How about a scale or something to start with?

[Flymagnet2007]

Should call this "General Custer's ghost goes gaga on guitar" ..... or perhaps "Jazz avoidance technique for hill-billies" hahahaha .....well...that was 2:23 wasted in terms of 'jazz solos and how to play them'....hope it was at least therapy for someone....maybe....perhaps ?

[fckinlovebeans]

hahahahahahahahaha what a legend

your jazz is the best keep being sick

[skipheaton]

This is crap ! C R A P.  This guy knows little or nothing about jazz

[richard4120]

What was that? :O

[puddleduck8051]

Crap it appears I'm about to waste $15000 on a degree in a jazz. I really should drop out of my degree and just use this video.

[GoNoRdEaTh]

@puddleduck8051 fucking snob fuck off

[lele794]

where is the voice of this guy ???? WTF

[Rafzorz1]

its expert village, all their tutorials suck

[jazzdings]

how to play what?

[MrApocalyte]

worst lesson of all time...fucking joke

[deathofasellout]

Medical marijuana good, but not before giving lessons

[chumlymau]

This is quite unfortunate, for those of us who want to REALLY learn something from and "expert," which Jim clearly is not. there was no content whatsoever, not a scale, a chord progression (other than what sounded like folk or rock), and a somewhat badly swung rock thingy. Please, please, please remove this video and post something we could actually learn from! Or please don't post any more. Sincerely,

Chum

[georgiebest99]

This dude is way over high.

[georgiebest99]

This dude is way over high

[newtimes2]

what does this have to do with jazz.

[ralge]

what guitar is that?

[gendrone09]

2:23 minutes of my life wasted

[IamPeavey]

0:46 whut!?! haha

[Poisonseed]

@IamPeavey

Hahaha I just noticed! Those are definitely some interesting chord "changes" to solo over.

Seriously though, wtf is this guy on?

[IamPeavey]

@Poisonseed haha.. he's probably Willie Nelson's bud.

[GuitarLegend327]

It seems nobody knows how to teach jazz these days...

[franksinbeans]

@GuitarLegend327 nobody used to "teach" jazz

[Hoopermazing]

@franksinbeans That is complete nonsense. People have been teaching jazz since jazz differentiated from ragtime. 

[franksinbeans]

@Hoopermazing What I mean to say is that Jazz used to be something that you learned just by doing it you know. Sure, you have to be taught the notes and concepts but its what YOU do with them that really matters. I don't mean to sound ignorant. GuitarLegend327's comment just ticked me off, because this guy is making an honest effort to share his experience and knowledge and mr. "guitar legend" just has to shit all over it.

[Hoopermazing]

@franksinbeans I disagree with your assertion that musical training in jazz is something new. It has always been taught. For instance, 100 years ago Louis Armstrong was studying music in an orphanage in New Orleans, and was subsequently taught to play jazz (still in its infancy) by the likes of Bunk Johnson, Kid Ory and especially King Oliver.

[EpiLPstandard]

a good joke, but bad lesson

[fenderzag]

What a strange people ... he looks like D'Artagnan ... :-) ahahha !!!

[brauliomacedonio666]

the best parts are when he mentions pink floyd... oh wait those are the only good parts

[blackstonefilms123]

i dont know about anyone else but all these expert vilage videos makes me think there is actually a village where all these people are lol.

[Muthaphuckka]

@blackstonefilms123 haha word

[afiqnordin]

best advice ever!

[thebookofjoy]

What the hell? I really confused about the sanity of the people who film/chose/uploaded this crap even more so than him...

[machinianfpro]

Jazz solo?? WTF

expertvillage sukcs on everythin` they put on YT

whatta piece of nothing

[Vermillion2176]

I was sure that Wild Bill Cody had passed away years ago, but I'm glad to learn that he put down the Colt 36 Navies and started playing guitar. He plays really well for an old cowboy too. Thanks for the pipeline jazz idea - really cool.

Sorry I have to agree with zthetha "Noodling for Numpties"

Big Ron

[kcpd2050]

This guy has to register in what ever neighborhood he lives in.

[roge69charger]

I first saw the Cream, On a Murry the K show Xmas, Live uptown in NYC, when I heard that opening line of I'm so Glad" I was able to figure it out, from the intro of that'll be the Day, Holly. The descending line.

Same with the Doors, Riders on the Storm, Same as Pipeline.

[Rabidburt]

Waste of time. No instruction at all. . .

[y2zgt]

is this for real lol?

[davidsonghello]

What a weird looking old man

[gabrielhuanosto]

this aint jazz this old foo trippinn

[weloveu2]

um, jazz?

[Vermillion2176]

I have the greatest respect for guys that make these free videos and share guitar playing lessons with the rest of us. Having said that who would have ever thought that "How to Play a Jazz Guitar Solo" would have Pipeline in it.

Next thing will be "Take Five 12 Bar Shuffle"

Big Ron

[afeld4171]

Pretty awesome video, especially once it ended and I haven't learned anythign

[TheoriginalGrumphy]

Who the fuc. cares how he looks...He does this voluntarely..and as many examples as possibel just help diffrent individuals..If it doesnt help you look at something else

[dantothex13]

if you are a visual learner this video is FUCKING pointless...

[tedybear335]

Buffalo Bill on guitar!!

[Savlo1]

Jazz-Gandalf?

[HQMatt]

"Expertvillage" you say? What a magical land that must be if this guy is anything to go by. Every time I search for an instructional video on any subject, a fucking wizard from Expertvillage trundles along and gives me a completely sub-par introduction to an illustrious video that may or may not actually exist where you might possibly learn something about your subject. I hope your entire village falls victim to some moderate inconvenience soon. I'm going to Moronville for some REAL advice...

[fmkmusic]

Papa Smurf on dope.......

[The1970sInfatuate]

How the hell is that jazz?

[JoeGancher]

That was real insightful. ..... have fun.

[kweerb8]

this guy looks like a fucking puppet.

[mojohand53]

Incredible. A Jazz guitar lesson with ZERO jazz licks. Now, that's real improvisation.

How lame.

[JohnnyArthur1]

how to play jazz on heroin

[GerMaj7th]

This guy never made it back from Woodstock

[shadowmyst88]

um... ok.

[Holycrap27]

Please sir I'm trying to be as nice possible, no offense but your a fuckin piece of shit.

[rexmiguechidoto]

There is only one jazz guitar player with the right to use striped clothes and that's Pat Metheney. This old man just isn't in that level

[sambo07]

um what?

[DeVeeWee1]

Wow, it worked! Now I'm able to play a Jazz guitar Solo...I could never would have thought this was possible, before this video! Thanks!

[DeVeeWee1]

Wow, now I'm able to play a Jazz Guitar Solo. Who could have thought that, before this video? Thanks a lot!

[DeVeeWee1]

Wow, it worked! Now I'm able to play a Jazz guitar Solo...I could never would have thought this was possible, before this video! Thanks!

[HeaVeNeRq8]

expert jackass village :D . thumb up!

[guitarz04]

what this has to do with jazz? nothing.

[Holycrap27]

i'm better than this pothead and i was playing for a year, i'm 15

[tommygoodkin]

@Holycrap27

Yet you're still dumber than an 11 year old.

[MrLongtimegone]

Dude!!Please get a dam shave and hair cut.Youare to old for this 70--80's look

How ever I like your guitar stuff.Even if it ain't jazz
