I CANT BELIEVE HOW COULD A JAZZ PLAYER SELL A FORMULA TO PLAY JAZZ... EVERY BODY NOWS THAT THERE IS NOW SUCH THING, STUDY A LOT AND THE EXPRESS YOURSELF THROUGH MUSIC WITH IMPROVISATION... IT IS A TODAYS WORLD CONSTANT TRYING TO LEARN STUFF WITHOUT EFFORT... :(

@santioga Check it before you dis it. As a Berklee and Musicians Institute alumni I can tell you that you wont find a more compact method out there, which makes Steve's method the best value by far.

Added value: Steve answers his students questions and responds to comments left here.

Are the "equations" creative melodies? Or are they formulaic structures pulled directly from the scales?

[pwmurray]

@BlikeNave They are derived from harmonized scales.

[BlikeNave]

@pwmurray like the 1 3 5 7 9 11 13 of every mode? or are the intervals picked using imagination (not strictly formula/theory)

[pwmurray]

@BlikeNave Here's Steve's reply: The 84 Equations are arpeggio and scale formulas which become

melodies when hyperextended. This means knowing which arpeggios lie

within each scale pattern and how to connect them to other relative

arpeggios. This knowledge gives the foundation needed to become a

creative soloist. See more at this link at the site listed at the end of this video. Steve's site has links to his Yahoo group where you can get free lessons.

I can appreciate developing a system that connects groups of useable arpeggio's for a solo. But why not provide an actual solo with improvisation as an example. I heard nothing in this so called "solo" but a group of connected scales and chords. Where's the breath in the music. Where's the breath in the music? All I'm hearing as has been mentioned before are connected groups of 8th notes. That doesn't constitute jazz or improvisation. It is a "solo" of connected 8th's to be sure.

[Fjord76]

do you also have equations for swing? cause it don't mean a thing if...

@santioga

1. you ever hear of pat martino? he's a formulaic improviser.

2. these aren't improvisational solos, they are etudes.

@HendrixcommaMartin Maybe algebra teachers who hope to finally get laid?

[HendrixcommaMartin]

I don't care how good the method is, using the word "equations" isn't going to sit well with anyone.

[Arriscraft]

Steve method is the best

@aussieninja10 Nothing like it.

[JazzChordArt]

@santioga Many aspiring jazz guitarists have failed to achieve their goals because they were unable to find the formulas needed for improvising, or are unable to fully express themselves because their knowledge is fragmented. The 84 Equations is the first system to give the coherency needed for indepth improvisation. You owe it to yourself to check it out, or talk to some of the guitarists for whom they have become a revelation.

[JazzChordArt]

ANY guitarist who is not aware of this system and does not know how to apply it is at a severe disadvantage.
