Jazz Guitar Soloing - Part One

[mattaroggen]

how is the G note on the b string included if that note isnt in the Dmaj7 arpeggio?

[Sivels]

@mattaroggen well, then it's not Dmaj7, then it's Dmaj13

[vwchad957]

what is the thing thats attatched to the body of your guitar

[spagbog1q2w]

@vwchad957 the neck?

[spagbog1q2w]

@spagbog1q2w or fretboad

[MatthewShotAlex]

What scale is he using?

[ibanezbloke]

@MatthewShotAlex No scales, arpeggios. If you want to play Jazz, then start forgetting about playing scales.

[Franco6226]

@ibanezbloke thats not true. usually the scale is decided by the quality of the chord its being played over, for example you would usually play the dorian scale of a m7 chord. although in this video he is playing certain riffs with arpeggios of the chord

holy shit, i could actually understand the theory stuff you were saying!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[moviemaker3000]

These are some excellent lessons! I'm especially astonished that you know the style for jazz, rock and metal leads. It's amazing!

[algazino]

Would be nice if you put information about your gear in the description

[lovescarguitar]

you should either turn the music down or turn your voice up in the mix. i really like your lessons and reviews. thats the one thing i have a problem with.

CLASS LESSON>>> hehe i get it =]

[mraggrovator]

ANOTHER CLASS LESSON.

[singalls]

So if you are doing a I, IV, II, V progression from D maj, why are the chords not simply D, B, E, A. For example, how do you know that you should use a Bmin7 for the 6 chord instead of just a plain old B, an Emin7 for the 2 chord instead of just E, and an Adom7 instead of just a regular A. Thanks for the great lessons.

[ibanezbloke]

When you harmonise a major scale - that means put every other note into a chord - you get the progression 1 - maj7, 2 - min7, 3 - min7, 4 - maj7, 5 - dom7, 6 - min7, 7 - min7b5 and 8 - the 1 chord all over again. Loom up harmonising a scale and it will all make sense.

[MarianoGabrielCH]

@singalls first, he is not doing I IV II V, bu I VI II V, B-7 is the VI grade of the scale of D, and to answer the other question why the quality of the chords, why E-7 instead of just E, well i demand for you to play that, play the same progression but all teh chords would just be a major triad, that means, you would play D, B, E, A all major chords, and then try to come to the answer by yourself, if you dont, is very simple, CUZ THATS THE CHORDS THAT YOU GET IN THAT PARTICULAR TONE.

Thank Andrew, excellent lesson.

[col33145]

Thanks Andrew grate lesson keep up the excellent work my friend

[Maddy29]

Correct me if I'm wrong, but you are following a certain progression/ pattern even while you are playing the solo right? Can you explain the underlying principles for that in a future video? That will be very helpful. Right now I am unable to follow some of the technical language on this video.

[Maddy29]

Actually I just realized...You did explain the chord progression right at the start. So now all you have to do is tell me how the individual notes follow based on that progression. Sorry for being such a moron :-)

Hello Maddy29...

If you follow the link in the sidebar, there is an explanation given regarding chord tone targeting. Hopefully, that will answer your question.

Thanks for watching,

Andrew Wasson
