Jazz Guitar Scales : Diagonal Playing Lesson

[11jupitercowboy8]

Marc-Andre Seguin and Marc-Andre Hamelin need to get together and jam sometime.

[jazzguitarlessonsnet]

@11jupitercowboy8 so who's that Hamelin guy?

[11jupitercowboy8]

@jazzguitarlessonsnet He's actually a classical concert pianist. I was being goofy but he is quite eclectic in his tastes. Maybe it's possible?

[jazzguitarlessonsnet]

@11jupitercowboy8 Haha! Nice. Yeah, anything it possible in my corner of the world! (-:

[mNareznoy]

thanks again for a great lesson!

[jazzguitarlessonsnet]

@mNareznoy Thanks for watching!

[VuelaBand]

you are a great person for posting these videos for free. thank you.

[jkuebler89]

oh and by the way thank you kind sir for taking the time out of your day to post a video explaining how to do this for those of us who arent quite as skilled as you yet. Much appreciated.

[jkuebler89]

:03 huh. yeah boy, you feeling it.

[TiagoMcCready]

Hey Marc!

I'm really enjoying to learn from you.

I'd like to know, if you can post a lesson about playing jazz over one-chord harmony (maj, min, dom, or a blues), just like a loop.

What to use (and how) the little tricks, like chromatisms, intervals, scales (?), tempo, and all those jazzy things!

Thanks for opening my eyes :)

[jazzguitarlessonsnet]

@TiagoMcCready Thanks for the comment. That's a great idea that I add in the pile ... I have at least 50 topics for videos I want to cover in 2011. I'll keep you posted! Marc-A

Thanks for taking the time to make this.

It has really opened up my playing so much, like finding the link for getting out of the box.

[jazzguitarlessonsnet]

@pagans68 Nice to hear that! To me, simply practicing scales and arpeggios diagonally made me play (and think) the music differently. I'll be uploading more "diagonal" stuff on JazzGuitarLessons*dot*net soon ...

[GtrDudeL]

nice 1 marc! cheers!

[jazzguitarlessonsnet]

@GtrDudeL Thanks!

[Swaggariite]

This video is great. I could always solo in major but I could only do it on the second position. But now your diagonal playing has me soloing all over the fret board like a real jazz guitarist. Thanks

[jazzguitarlessonsnet]

@Swaggariite I'm glad it helped you. I know everybody has a different "take" on the guitar fretboard but this (diagonal) really opened up my playing. Thanks for watching. Marc-A

[sgtmaj7]

Excellent..Thanks!

[cartlemmy]

Wow, I've been playing guitar for 15 years (self taught) and never really though about this.

[jazzguitarlessonsnet]

@cartlemmy Cool. I'm glad this video made you realize new concepts on the fretboard.

[cartlemmy]

@jazzguitarlessonsnet Yeah, thank you. You are doing a great thing with these videos. I instantly felt like I was twice the guitar player I was before.

[xbadmeetsevil21x]

i cant tell what notes youre playing can you specify please?

[jazzguitarlessonsnet]

@xbadmeetsevil21x @ 1:45 I'm playing G major scale : G A B C D E F#

The idea is to organize fingerings so they become "diagonal" ...

I built a page here on the website... (the address is given during the video)

[jazzguitarlessonsnet]

@ShadyAchmed My pleasure, thank you.

[serotone9]

fantastic! you are a great teacher. I'm glad to be subscribed, thanks.

[jazzguitarlessonsnet]

@serotone9 My pleasure!

[atila120]

you could increase your videos volume

[jazzguitarlessonsnet]

Yes. You're right, I will. By the way, it sounds better in headphones.

[jazzguitarlessonsnet]

@atila120 Yes, sorry. I will. My sound system was giving me the wrong impression at that time.

[linatusay]

Awesome! Thanks.

[Sempade]

I agree with kfrancis1992, this is the first time I've ever been helped by a youtube jazz guitar lesson. Thank you very much, Marc...

[rdspence]

Thank you very much. This to me was HUGE.

[jazzguitarlessonsnet]

It was, and still is, "huge" to me too!

Thanks.

[kfrancis1992]

Your playing is really nice. I think this is the first time I've ever been helped by a youtube guitar lesson

[jazzguitarlessonsnet]

Thank you Kfrancis. Contact me if you have questions; I know my lessons tend to go "abstract" sometimes!
