Steve Crowell solos to the chord changes of "How Insensitive

[MrJohnjellis]

Dustednugs....I think the idea is that Steve Crowell is playing the "linear math" for a reason: He's playing a series of 8th notes using the scales he prefers. I don't think he's playing a "solo"; I think he's just showing you how those scales can work over those changes.

All a guitarist would need to do with Steve's solo is add phrasing, and rhythmic variation, etc., and you'd get a great solo that would be less linear...

His teaching materials are great....

good but sounds like a load of scales joined together, wish I could play like him tho!!

I worked through a few of the Steve Crowell "Jazz Standards in Chord Style" volumes in the 80's and 90's and I will stack those method books up against anything put out by the major jazz legends-Joe Pass, Barney Kessel, etc etc. Nice to see Steve is still playing and educating.

Actually I am playing the solos just as written in my book, "Formulas For

Jazz Guitar Improvisation." My desire is to show the value of learning

THE 84 JAZZ GUITAR EQUATIONS System, and to enable aspiring guitarists to discover what took me 50 years to learn. To be free to improvise and

emotionalize intelligently to standard chord changes, you have to know

the "numbers." The "84 EQ System" is the first to offer such a complete

and comprehensive scope for jazz guitar soloing.

Do the equations you put forth in your book work for all types of music or is it strictly jazz orientated? I ask because I admire Robben Ford very much and he seems to fuse elements of jazz with his playing

[JazzChordArt]

@MilesofColtrane Yes, it is pure music in its most coherent and correct sense. Add this to what you already know and you will really have something -- a foundation that will always hold true.

way to linear... no emotion what so ever...
