Jazz Lesson 2

This a new lick (the 1 chord 'lick') still in the key of Eb. I show you how to use this line over two common progressions and throw away some myths. Again, no scales/modes mentioned...just positions. I break down everything and make it understandable. Hope you enjoy it and play it.

Nice Lick. The "E" you talk about is really "Eb"

[BrannonMcConkey]

@Boldstrummer Yes, i'm aware. Slip of the tongue a few times. I do it in a few videos.

Nice lick... I like the suggestion about listening to jazz horn players for inspiration. I read an article sometime in the 90's in which Alex Skolnick credited lots of his later solo ideas with Testament as being the by-product of transposing Parker sax lines to the guitar. Thanks.

[BrannonMcConkey]

@resmoore Yeah that's definietly an option one shouldn't pass up. Skolnick has room to preach on it too...great player.

I liked your reference to horn playing good way of thinking of the melody, really good sounding licksI got to check out your other videos now and possibly subscribe thanks

[BrannonMcConkey]

Good lesson. I can't see why viewers are pushing the 'dislike' button. Maybe you have got an enemy out there.

Thank you for this VDO.

Allan Holdsworth always complained that he didn't play sax, and that he always tried to emulate a sax player.

Good clear lesson.
