[jbuzzzz11]

i dont understand why people dislike videos....if you don't like it then stop watching it...no one is forcing you to watch it.....

[DreadCrawler]

MONSTER

[Alpha7xxx]

Will you be tabbing any of this? I love the lessons I just have a hard time telling where your fingers are going. I'm trying to just listen but it's difficult with the complexites of the chords.

I would gladly pay for tabbed versions of these lessons. Thanks!

[97nikoniko]

who are those 5 idiots? you're awesome man!

[mradnanchowdhury]

totally feelin the 'fitting room at macy's' vibe here

[poop634]

It's talent like this I see that makes me go grab my guitar and spend another 4-5 hours studying new scales TO CATCH UP

[Japsem]

Hi man. What strings do you used in that guitar

[BrendanTotten]

lol i was wonderin why i got an elctric after years of a acoustic playing - this is the reason why.

[lancerandy]

This is really great. I can play along, and build my ideas around the scales/arpeggios you are using and notating at the bottom of the screen. This keeps me from playing the same ideas I might normally play otherwise ;) Well done sir.

[papa62old]

I want to say thanks for the nice tutorial I will do my best to immitate you . Isn't that the best form of compliment? thanks again/

[ThePomorsky]

Great one ! It's really the proper way such things should be explained. Approve ; )

[Kursevalify]

Wow. Awesome job, I'm a vibes player, and previously I've just been using Cm, Fm, etc. This helped a bunch.  Keep it up!

[manattta]

hey i dont know how you chose the scales. for exemple why do you play Eb Dorian on key of C? and the others i also dont understand and I cant learn from anywhere good...

[joedimusic]

@manattta It actually is in Cm, but then the song modulates to Eb Dorian

[Adamshredsify]

@manattta He uses the Eb dorian scale over the Eb minor 7 chord during the modulation

[Fruitargeek]

And subscribed!!! This was great thanks. When you play, is that how you think? i.e. you think of the scale you want to play before you play it and then you go for it?

[jamessir100]

@Fruitargeek Usually I don´t think of scales while playing. Most of the time I think in chords. Sometimes I reduce the underlying chords to the basic triads (1,3rd,5th - 7th) and fill the spaces with passing notes of the underlying scales.

[rodrigotavares13]

this is awesome, man! Thank you... I really learned a lot!!

[mgr001]

magic

[Swiftkillah1300]

The whole performance was great but the part from about 4:10 to 4:20 just wowed the musical genius inside of me. Great work man

[TintedRedFilms]

That was just epic.

[03456]

Fuck it man, how do you realize where to put what scale?

I can't understand that...

[TintedRedFilms]

@03456 Find the arrangement, it has the chords above whichever bar they change

[TintedRedFilms]

@03456 Or use the Real Book in C

[HolyGK]

@03456 lol same, I can Improvise a bit but I understand nothng about music theory and scales and other stuff lie that.

[sabschmi]

Thanx a lot for this vid. I'm trying to improvise over the blue bossa-chords and it helps so much. Great playing btw. 

[maxmoves64]

James sir, i have a long way to go to get to this standard but it gives me inspiration. wonderful!!

[dioramaamaroid]

Very good job man, but in the part of Ebm7 Ab7 Dbmaj7 Dbmaj7, you can use this scales:

-pentatonic minor of Bb (Ebm7, is the scale of the 5º of Ebm7)

-pentatonic minor of B (Ab7, is the scale of the relative minor mode (pentatonic) of the b5º of Ab (altered pentatonic scale))

-pentatonic minor of C (Dbmaj7, is the scale of the relative minor mode of the 2º of Db)

You can improvised with this scales.

This scales created a cromatic pass,which the sound that you can listen, is very jazzy.

[grifalton]

4:43 = win

[mongoosecage]

damn this is as good as undercurrent

[Adreizehn]

I'm learning jazz too... at the beginning to play an impro it's very difficult... Can't you play just G-phrygian over the A Part?

[1OSWALDO1]

The right hand is also importand...

[gusax50]

Nice chops! Do you have a CD?

[epoe74]

WOW Awsome!!!

[theking13371]

here comes the kraken shirt?

[bassmajor]

really nice video! Too sad that many people don't accept the mastery behind jazz and just say "naaah it's to random for me". Jazz is just so vivid and colourful and to me the greatest style to play

[stian41]

Really inspiring! :) I'm learning jazz, and I think your videos will be very helpful!

[hugobugo36]

literally exactly what i was looking for and much much more. endless possibilities to go on from here.

[bubo1337]

I was waiting for it WAITING FOR IT, WAAAAIIITING!! but NOOOO!! mr.blues here doesn't bend at all -.- besides that it was good.

[luciankaltz]

3:50 holy awesome!! 

[MapleViaOnline1]

Genius.

[jaytonbye]

Is this in Cm?

[dawebdisa]

Absolutely awesome dude!! It's great to get a long improv solo over a standard especially with the scalar explanations.

Well done Sir!

Pce

[resortesdelinfierno]

sometimes a person knows the theory of armony and those things but.. to know how to use is the real job xD i liked your video gratz !!

[melikemedogs]

GReat!

[squawstar]

It was delicious indeed. I just loved eating it all up

[jazzaces294]

That was tasty. I like how, even though you know all the complex chords, arpeggios and scales, you still throw in a little pentatonic and blues scale stuff.

[acero1985]

Very nice!!!!!

[AdvancedGuitar]

I've spent the day with a number of your Blue Bossa vids - I've got a lot of new ideas for a very old chestnut.

Thanks a bunch!

[danretes]

orgasmic

[luciankaltz]

very smooth. very nice. i want to play like this.

[cobrabbel]

[prjctcivilian]

[ilDammuso86]

[danretes]

fuking awesome

[realrickmirror]

OMG Your shirt R0CkZ !!!

Freak Kitchen !!!!!!!

rulz but blue bossa also ;o)

[alyrljt777]

LOVE that little sequence in the Ebm7 chord... 3:56-3:58

[fuel2obsessions]

I also play this song but I use instead of cm7 and fm7 a cm9 and fm9

[madottati]

nice job, thanks!!!

[mastertjief]

@  koda007

Db = Dbmaj7

[fernando250655]

obrigado amigo por essa generosidade

[Olli4712]

Great lesson, excellent work, not all Ideas fit well, but the way you explain it is great stuff. Thanks for posting this, I will try to learn altered scales now. Gute Arbeit, Mann, Danke !!!

[Koda007]

I hate it when youtube replies don't show up UNDER the comment you are replying too. That last comment was in reply to theoak84

[bigwm]

Some really nice ideas, very lyrical playing.

Well explained too.

[funkyrocker888]

Thank you. It was really great how you listed the scales used over certain chords. Awesome lesson!

[tansao1]

EXCELENTE, amigo Gracias por estos videos toda una lecciòn. GRACIAS.

de Argentina.

[lalalanimiro]

Oh wow, that was amazing. This video alone convinced me to take up jazz guitar lessons

[chrrep]

Fantastic player ....

[risingsun1987]

great vid! :)

[theoak84]

What progression are you using?

[Koda007]

The standard progression for Blue Bossa is as follows. I've added the 7ths because it's sounds nice but you can mix and match... minor, 6ths, 9ths etc.

Cm7 | Cm7 | Fm7 | Fm7

Dm7b5 | G7 | Cm7 | Cm7

Ebm7 | Ab7 | Db | Db

Dm7b5 | G7 | Cm7 | Dm7b5 G7

[vaulterman24]

It sounds really nice when you change the G7 to a G7#5

[FFXGuitar]

Yes it does, thats what he means when he says hes playin over a G7alt.

[AndrewBertuglia]

awesome!

very helpful

thank you

[nmo1127]

Lol I love the oops! But yeah man, this is a great rendition. Make it look so easy

[myemodance]

what size strings do you use? 12? 13?

[jamessir100]

It´s D´addario Chromes Ribbon Wound 12-52

[myemodance]

hows the flexibilty on those?

[jamessir100]

They are very easy to play, bending possible, you should give them a try.

[TintedRedFilms]

@jamessir100 Nice! I use the same strings on my Godin 5th Avenue Kingpin and Gibson ES-. Gotta love the tone. :D

[whalerick]

Man, that is some very nice shit! :) I've been playing jazz guit for a long time, and I'd like to get my lines that smooth!

[cristuspz]

Thanks a lot man! I spent a good half hour watching this clip :) where did u get those 2 ebm7/ab7/dbmaj7 patterns from? i really like the one at 4:31. And is the pat martino lick at 4:48 from his version of impressions?

[jamessir100]

Many lines are influenced by Pat Martino, but I can´t tell exactly where they are from.

[localpm]

Excellent thank you!

[mojoefly]

finally i know what scales to use for blue bossa. thanks so much. please please  do this for more songs.

[wbges175]

Nice playing!

[diminishedlogic]

youre a very skilled player, i'm going to favorite this and work on it tonight. thanks bro

[no0b3y]

How do u know what type of modes to play? I don't understand how you mix like 20 scales and arps. I'm tired of sticking to 1 mode for an entire song.

[dicki64]

cm pent over and over is schon klasse!

Cooler Kula!

[hippihair98]

I really like it. Very well done. Although, I honestly don't think it gives the original composition credit at this speed. But then again, it is your interpretation. Very cool anyways. =)

[guitarttimman]

you have very nice tone and style. Thank you for posting. great job 5 stars my friend. :-)

[ipekavenk]

guzel,nice

[plop200]

you've got a lot of knowledge in music.. pretty nice impro thought

[oppis]

This is the kind of video that i hope other instructional videos and books would do. You dont have to necessarily learn the solo, but with this information you can build your own lines. Thanks a lot this best video to learn solo over blue bossa

[Straker58]

Thank you!

[tedhynur]

nice music........

[EasyEnglishLesson]

Thanks a lot, great inspiration and nice way to show the chords you are using. Keep it up.

[glennmiller2005]

this is the song to showcase harmonic minors. i do it too much...

[TrickyFizzer]

Very nice.

[stlobelio99]

this is the best blue bossa improvisation! no doubt it is... i actually take some of your licks to be played on stage.... thanks for your input, really appreciate it... i hope to see more videos by you!

[isakomayer]

Very NICE papa! aguante ahI!

[stonepolismusic]

Sweet...very remnisence of Metheny! Smooth, flowing and educational to boot! Thanks, I've jamming over this tune for years and after seeing the motif ideas superimposed over the changes have increased my vocabulary ten fold. Awesome!

[bouniste]

Thank you.

Very interesting and helpfull

[RonenHalsadi]

Great.

Tried to look at your site but no english

[Moplu]

Can I have the backing track???

[jacobe888]

Nice calm improvisation going there pal. :) Good effort to spell out the scales on the video...(not chords thought ,but no prob)
