I really want to get into playing jazz. I'm only 15 and no practically no music theory :S I've been playing for 4/5 years now. If anyone has got any pointers as to where to start, what to listen to, or even just to explain some basic music theory, please pm me :)
hey man, Could you tell me the best way to practice jazz? At the moment I'm kinda just playing arpeggios over the chords in autumn leaves, but i don't really know how to make it sound jazzy or anything.
can someone tell me where i should begin. i am a rock guitarist who knows a little jazz, i play bossa nova pretty well but now i want to become a great smooth jazz guitarist. i have no idea where to begin, what to study, who to listen too and how to listen to music to absorb what i hear. please give me some tips people. PM me.
@DeathMetalDeth This was fully improvised. Of course, I incorporated a few licks and phrases that I already knew but I had no idea how the whole solo was going to come out in the end. Some of what I played, I actually surprised myself. That's what's so great about improvising. Thanks for the compliments. Check out my site if you want to improve. Believe me, it doesn't take a genius. Just hard work and dedication.
lol this is amazing and sounds great. Would be interested to hear how it sounds through a tube amp. Do you have videos of you playing with tangiable amps? This made me very happy cheers !!
for some reason i keep getting jazz and blues mixed up...'start listenin' WTF! WHAT IS THIS waiiiiiiittt i see whats going on XD haha... its great though
@Ins4n3Guit4rist it's the number note in a scale. for example, if you were to solo over c using this progression, the chords roughly would be d, g, c, a. in this case, you would use the notes in the f major scale.
@Ins4n3Guit4rist It may be the chord progression pattern. I'm a 13 year old intermediate but an example would be in C major it would be D-G-C-A. However it all depends on the key your in...
@Ins4n3Guit4rist Do you understand music theory? Because if you do then this is pretty simple to learn. the numbers are relative to the chords in the key he is playing in. He's playing in F so 2-5-1-6 are the chords: Gm7-C7-FMaj7-Dm7
@learnjazzguitar THAT'S GREAT! I ONLY USE TUBES, BUT I FIND MYSELF WONDERING, IF EVERYONE IS USING SS; MAYBE IT'S TIME TO GET WITH THE PROGRAM. BUT, ALL THE CLASSIC TONES THAT BROUGHT US TO LOVE JAZZ GUITAR WERE RECORDED USING GLASS. HMMM?
@ArniePyeInTheSky No, you can play the parent scale over any of the chords in a given key. For example, over Am7, can play a C Major scale since Am7 belongs the key of C. While your solo won't necessarily sound like your defining the sound of the chord you're playing over, it's a start and at least it won't sound like you're playing obviously wrong notes. The next step would be to incorporate arpeggios and substitutions to outline the chord changes for a more harmonically specific sound.
@learnjazzguitar hi, great song! but can you tell me the bass line and chord of the INTRO SONG of this video? or, actually how to create it. is it any scale theory, or just improvise? do you have a song like that? i got stress with this kind of song, but i really want to know how to play it. :D
i can imitate it (with hear it, over and over), but i can't improvise.
@learnjazzguitar on top of that you want to bust out more lydian/ myxolydian base outlines, main key is adding sound in a jazzy way, you can hear what hes doing. he has silence periods, and has his ins and outs with pops. Make sure you are busting out some 7th or 9th arpeggios mostly, or youll sound like a neo classical shredder. Try to play with the drummer more than any other instrument as well, have chromatics, and dont forget to mix non and diminished licks into harmonic modes.
@metallicafan979@metallicafan979 Yes, I did 2 takes on this recording. Of course, I am using some licks, phrases that I already know. That's what improvisation is: creative reorganization of melodies that you already know. That being said, after looking at the video I was a little surprised by some of the melodies that I played. Sometimes melodies come out that you didn't think you knew. That's what's so exciting about improvisation!
@learnjazzguitar Yeah I'm just learning jazz guitar so im pretty new to all this stuff lol.I'll definetly subscribe though and see what i can learn from these videos.cheers!
@jazzguitar2010 not nessecarly, he isn't actually playing in the key of F, saying that means that the rhythm guitar is playing in the key of F, hes just soloing on which ever notes are being played in the key of F by the rhythm guitar. Maybe he played a couple licks in the F major scale.
nice! this is the kind of jazz i can get into :D it reminds me of JC Penny music though hahaha is all smooth jazz like this? before this kind of music all i had ever heard from jazz was like swing type stuff
Gorgeous guitar lines. Man,It's heaven in my ears right on the buttton. I'm wonderin' how do you come up with those lines? Im new at jazz music and I really want to learn those kindfs of stuff. What lesson would you recommend me????
Thanks Harmonikz and everyone for all your comments. Remember, you can buy the tabs and the jam track for this solo from my website. That way you can learn the solo for yourself.
@ lilhomefight you can buy a loop pedal for your guitar like the boss RC-2 which is the one i use. it will record your own rhythm track you play and you can even add drum tracks to it right from the pedal ! its quite the pedal (Y)
not really more like a dorian scale most the time with some blues in it penotoinc scale. jazz scale is way harder then a blues scale your fingers have to be far apart in blues your fingers are always close together.
Dorian is a mode, it's the second in the major scale. (so to play D Dorian it would really be a C major scale starting on the D) Jazz improvisation uses a lot more than just Dorian. All of the other 6 modes are fair game in Jazz. (heck, you can play any note you want as long as you resolve it correctly) There isn't a "Jazz Scale" unless you are talking about Real Melodic Minor, which is "Jazz Minor."
I think most guitarist habitually do a little thing with their mouth when the play. I purse my lips when i use my wah wah pedal. this guy mouths the rythm he plays on the runs.
I'm going to be straight up honest here, i was in the mood for some cool jazz guitar, so i searched it up but i had this feeling i wouldnt find something that i was looking for, but dude, you just blew my mind because this is what i needed to hear, but just better. you are amazing!
Learn the basic jazz chord shapes (minor and major 7ths, and other jazz chords) then learn the scales, then soloing, BTW you'll want a VERY low gain amp, this guy's amp has NO gain on it naturally, which is rare, most amps (especially modern american amps) have gain (even with the 'gain' controll @ 0) thats how you get the jazz tone
very sophisticated indeed, the music of the intellectual! im trying to learn all the modes and weird jazz chords but struggling to remember it all, what would say is the best way to get started on this style, thanks.
Hey NICE JOB!!! I got a question, next year ill be joining the jazz band but I dont know if my elec. guitar is equiped with jazz capability! I have an epiphone gibson special - guitar
and an amp thats 15 watts but it only has volume overdrive treble and bass knobs on it
Will this work for jazz music or not remember I'm also a little better than begginers but still entree level!!!
hey there I loved your improv throughout the whole video :) I was wonder about a few licks though and if you could do a lesson on mixing the blues and jazz together especially with licks like the ones at 00:58-1:02 that was an exceptionally beautiful lick and I love to learn licks like that and similar for improv work thanks :)
Dude, you are my hero for playing this type of jazz solo! can you recommend me any artists that have this type of solo that you play on this video? thanks.
i used to play jazz now im in a hardcore/progressive band, and if it weren't for jazz i wouldn't be at guitar as i am today. its definately one of the best genres going around. jazz is something everyone should appreciate, especially with the garbage going around like techno and rap and all the pop crap they play on the radio. the concept of music is changing rapidly but this genre will never die.

hey there I loved your improv throughout the whole video :) I was wonder about a few licks though and if you could do a lesson on mixing the blues and jazz together especially with licks like the ones at 00:58-1:02 that was an exceptionally beautiful lick and I love to learn licks like that and similar for improv work thanks :)

Hi, does 2-5-1-6 mean G-C-F-D the backing rythmn progression on keyboard?
are you combining different scales together,your scales are not linear like minor blues or modes?
what do they mean in singing and guitar by the term phrasing?

i used to play jazz now im in a hardcore/progressive band, and if it weren't for jazz i wouldn't be at guitar as i am today. its definately one of the best genres going around. jazz is something everyone should appreciate, especially with the garbage going around like techno and rap and all the pop crap they play on the radio. the concept of music is changing rapidly but this genre will never die.
