@chiniack Blues is to simple. 12 bars blues and pentatonic scale over and over..Boring. Jazz is Awesome forming licks to a jazz progression Cmaj7 Dm7 Am7 to G7 Using C Ionion then using D Dorian then Am pentatonic to G Mixolyidan and forming different aspects of the modes to form a bebop sound is just my style of music.
no.. not hard.. but honestly he is one of the better teachers I have seen. Break the licks into sections and work through it. Makes it easier for the student (doesnt have to rewind as much)
Very nice guitar!!! that's the 1st thing that impressed me when I saw this vid.. I thought i't was a les paul.. coz' it surely is near to a les paul guitar.. I wish to have one.. :D i hope to have d classic one, 1960'-70's version.. :) -Im just a beginner-
This is great!!! Thanks for the lesson and I have added this and your website to my favorites. I have been trying to teach myself some scales but it is great to hear it and watch how it's played to get a real feel for it. Thanks, Again
tallykat13 Great video where you dont just say the fret numbers but also the notes! good stuff =) =] well if someones goin to play jazz they can probably already tell what notes hes playing by ear..its like tuning ur guitar by ear...dont know if thats a special skill but i can do it so u can all probably too.....good point though lol
This point is not seriously important: there really is no "F shape." The first two licks here just move around the E-shape for G. A first fret F chord is just an E-shape moved up one fret. That's little point number one. Little point Number Two: lick #3 really outlines the C-shape much more than the D-shape, especially when it moves down to the 4th string. That's classic C-shape stuff.
But this ultimately doesn't matter much. It ends up playing the same. So students, get back to work!
exactly, man. :) it's just for clarity sake. most guitarists associate those shapes with those first position/open chord forms. damn, guitarists like to nit-pick so much more than other instrumentalists. why IS that? hehehe. take care,
I tnink I can safely say no other musician nit-picks the way a violinist in the classical world can. But you know, it occurs to me, it's students who want to nit-pick in the worst way and allow the least room. Like right and wrong ways to pick. That one drives me crazy. And then you look at all the wildly different ways people pick. And most work. Just play a lot, and keep your ears open.
actually, having worked with more than a few classical players (two of whom were violinists), i think i have to retract what i said and agree with you. I guess i have something resembling self-loathing for the way guitarists treat each other in comparison to all of the drummers i've been working with lately. i don't understand what it is about most drummers that makes them so ready to compliment and encourage each other; a stark difference from my experiences in the pro guitar world. :) - g
Top class lesson. This is good medicine for anyone who wants to sound musical. You can shred but is it music? Add this sort of taste to your playing and maybe your shredding will have more meaning...Thanks for these lessons.....
do you absolutly have to have a bass/guitar like that??? cause i only have an ibanez electric guitar and all the vids about jazz guitar have guitars like that
jazz musicians prefer semi-hollow and hollow electrics because its got great sustain... but you can play jazz on any guitar...les pauls are pretty good with jazz and blues...
guitars like fender and ibanez are pretty versatile when it comes to guitars. You should have no trouble playing pretty much any style on them. As long as the guitar has a good, and well ballanced tone, you should be fine.
Just stay away from those toneless, cheap ass ones that are made simply to look nice and be shreddable. No matter what style you play, be it metal, jazz, blues, classical, etc. tone is the most important thing when it comes to guitar.
ya thanks my ibanez RG120 has ok tone and sounds good in jazz and metal and all that but it just doesnt sound right at times(i think cause its more for beginners)im wanting to switch to a PRS that i saw at Guitar Center that i really liked i played it and he had great feel and everything so im thinkin bout switching
Yea, that's probably the best choice. The only way one can truly find the right guitar for themselves is by trying it. If it sounds like the right guitar for you, and feels and plays comfortably, I'd say go ahead and buy.
I think that's a Gibson Super 400, or an L5 (or something along those blood lines). And it's expensive as hell. New or used, it's EASILY in the 5 and 6k range, and will only go up from there. Hope that helps :-)
Actually, it's imopossible to correlate "jazz swing" to a metronome as well as notate it in standard notation. His swing is right on time, as jazz is mostly an improvised music form.
NO doubt, he is stressing a little more clearly than he usually plays, so that the jazz neophyte can "hear" note value in the genre.
Funny this bluesy sound reminds of of early Gene Autry stuff.
THe real early Autry is pretty fine stuff...and his backup singers have a mexican lilt to their voices that is truly beautiful. Hmmm.... mexican soul......
have you checked out that tibetan guy, playing a cool version of hendrix' little wing, sitting at a lake in tibet? it's really great! just look for hendrix tibet.

Hi Billy I like the Clip on your Jazz Guitar Lesson's very interesting!,great clip!!keep the good work up!! You Play Great!!I Love JAZZ Music!!,also@You Tube,Marc Jones Vocalist sings Pop/Jazz Standards,he sings good!,check him out!
you guys need to shut up, this guy is giving free jazz lessons be respectful and quit trying to make it sound like u know what ur talking about, billy is amazing at guitar ive heard him live go give ur own lessons if u dont think these are good enough
and would you people stop whining about what scales you need to use in a key. it depends on the changes for gods sake! you can't just expect to use a G mixo or a G dorian just because its Gmaj or Gmin, it depends entirely upon the changes.
yeah this video is bull shit. why is everyone commenting so cluless. i always thought what you just said above was a prerequisite you needed to have to even think about playing jazz.
Hey all...if you've got nothing positive to say..especially when some is giving freely of themselves...then just keep it to yourselves . Thanks for the tips !
Hey Stupids that say its blues....duh,there's always going to be blues in your Jazz....and theres always going to be some Jazz in your blues....but it doesn't matter because there both expressing feeling....I think this is great...later.
Jazz does not always 'have blues in it.' Some jazz tunes are based off of minor pentatonic scales, or blues, scales. Other jazz tunes are based off of targeting chord voicings, using arpeggios and 7 note scales, and can be very major sounding, not minor. But as a rule of thumb, a big black Wes Montgomery thumb at that, blues is a good start to advancing to jazz.
The blues scale IS a pentatonic, sometimes with the blue note (flat 5) added. What hes using is a G MAJOR pentatonic. A blues scale would be a G MINOR pentatonic. However, a G MAJOR pentatonic has the exact notes found in a E MINOR, or 'blues', Pentatonic.
mixolydian is a seven tone scale. A hextonic scale has only 6 tones. The "blues scale" is really a pentatonic scale with one added tone, i guess the most common is a b5. 6 tones makes it a hexatonic.
Hexatonic is a very open term. Notice that people generally say "a hexatonic scale" rather than "the hexatonic scale". There are some truly awesome scale variants out there. For an instantly and easily emotive sound, chec out the hirojoshi hexatonic scale. It works on the opposite priciple to the pentatonic-all the boring, "safe" notes are gone.
Just say,I was to play these licks over Autumn Leaves backing track-----Blues or Jazz?The backing track is a Jazz/blues in G,Thus the licks sound bluesy.Over a standard ....Sound jazzy
First you got the blues, then came Jazz. Yes this is blues, Pentatonic blues if you like. I never met a Jazz Guitar player yet who didn't like playing blues. Most audiences like to hear blues! Then you got Jazz... Thanks to the person who uploaded and the player.
is it the lick 3 is not the same betwen u play first and u teach ? is it?

mixolydian is a seven tone scale. A hextonic scale has only 6 tones. The "blues scale" is really a pentatonic scale with one added tone, i guess the most common is a b5. 6 tones makes it a hexatonic.

Hexatonic is a very open term. Notice that people generally say "a hexatonic scale" rather than "the hexatonic scale". There are some truly awesome scale variants out there. For an instantly and easily emotive sound, chec out the hirojoshi hexatonic scale. It works on the opposite priciple to the pentatonic-all the boring, "safe" notes are gone.

Thanx . . . I'm trying to fuse jazz, blues and rock, using mostly pentatonic scales on my fender strat.

First you got the blues, then came Jazz. Yes this is blues, Pentatonic blues if you like. I never met a Jazz Guitar player yet who didn't like playing blues. Most audiences like to hear blues! Then you got Jazz... Thanks to the person who uploaded and the player.
