In order to show his "slippery" rhytmic concept, in this part of his video lesson - "Jazz Guitar Improvisation" - John discusses single-string improvisation, first playing over one chord (Bb/E) and ends up playing over "Stella By Starlight".

Beautiful music and a great insight for all string instrument improvisors.

Take a look at my other youtube page at www.youtube.com/miscvanguard for lots of other videos.

  • chuck norris.

  • thats all alex lifeson does and hes great.

  • everything that he plays sounds great

  • John Basile is awesome should check more of him out!!!

  • @liveintheglory - Reminds me of a Paul Glasse song called the "Paper Bag Rag." There's no snare drum on the track, just a paper bag. I can't find it on Youtube, but it's on his "The Road Home" from 1993.

  • how about playing with your feet?

  • This seems true. I saw Steve Morse break his high e string in the middle of a song and he finished the entire thing without a hitch.

  • AAAAAAAMEN!!

  • SURVIVAL!!!

  • This is from a really good instructional video.
