I don't get this at all, this is much too fast for me..

[robbourassaguitarist]

Sorry. Some of these require the player to be familiar with a lot of the patterns already. I bet if you just forget about what I'm saying, and focus on learning the chords one at a time, and pause the video on each one, you will get it.

they've served you well. do you have a myspace page or anything like that?

[robbourassaguitarist]

Not that I know of. I may have signed up for it, or my daughters talked me into it, but I don't go there.

Youtube is it.

Hi Rob,

this is pretty good, BUT those guys, who could cope with it, do not need the oral explications! The other group of `guitarists´ need the explanation in a slow-motion(esque) way! Since this is my opinion, you dont have to take it much serious... Seen from a educational point of view, you should do it much slower! The difference between practical (jazz-based) and a rather theoretical (classic musicology) harmonic-theory could distract an irritade beginners. Nevertheless: your very good!

zu schnell und zu englisch

REally great lesson Rob. It is great to get some more adv theory/harmony guidance for this tune and type of progression. Man, I lived in Detroit/Ann Arbor 35 yrs before moving here 10 years ago. I still visit family up there a few times a year. I've just finally heard of you thru Just JAzz Guitar I think.

To milfil2000.....This is not at all 'intro to jazz, so don't be discouraged. If unfamiliar with the shapes, take 1 @ a time....it takes while for fingers to know where to go!

[milfil2000]

Thank you. I'll try... How can I learn those patterns? I guess I am not audio, its much easier for me to read something...

[robbourassaguitarist]

My only training was listening to records, and reading theory books on the john.

very interesting; i'm into a lot of the same people. george barnes is another favorite. i'm assuming you've had some formal training due to your knowledge of theory, etc....your combination of knowledge and musical taste is excellent.
