Finding Notes All Over the Fretboard, with Scott Hesse
Playing guitar like a piano player, stacking arpeggios to create a harmonic pathway… This is how guitarist, Scott Hesse, describes accessing his notes. He also explains how everything you practice is training your ear to help you melodies come from inside your head.
Guitarist, composer, and teacher, Scott Hesse is well-respected in Chicago jazz. Known for his harmonic and rhythmic inventiveness, Scott is equally at home in straight-ahead or avant-garde settings. As a leader, he’s made five albums and appears on more than fifty others as a sideman. His most recent release from Calligram Records is called INTENTION and features longtime collaborators,
Dana Hall on drums and Clark Sommers on bass.
Scott’s music career began at the age of 15 playing in his father's jobbing band. His high school weekends were spent playing ballrooms and dance halls throughout Iowa, South Dakota, Nebraska, and Minnesota. Hesse has a master’s degree in Jazz Composition from DePaul University in Chicago.

    Your presentation articulated Jackie ever so well. I too am spellbound with his sound and hard bop ideas. He's got the tastiest alto I've ever heard and would rather listen to him than Bird who is phenomenal. I try to get his sound, but NO WAY. I also try to get Joe Henderson's sound, but NO WAY. They are my hero's on horns and I will always appreciated them for what they contributed to us when alive. They left a legend that will remain forever in Jazz.

    hey man i appercaite this input. A tab or music note might help , because what I am having problems with coming from piano to guitar is like you said is trying to get from C3? C4 - to C6 , shaped across, I hate being in this box. Of What you used in the first couple of minutes, of the C box on the top 2 strings E- A shapes. Especially looking at a Chord stacking like D- , D its hard to find an acutal finger pattern that make sense. I have seen countless videos on guitar - piano so just some house keeping. 1. That template for the like subrscibe you got is too big. 2. You sound like you know what you're doing I woul dtry to get guitar profile and put the tabs / notes as an overlay ! thanks again I will rewatch this again and again see If I can follow along the shapes better.

    Nice to hear Jackie Mclean getting some credit. He is definitely one of the best altoist of the post-Bird era - together with Lou Donaldson - maybe an even more underrated musician. I love the stuff he does in the movie The Connection, though it was clearly a bad time in his life on a personal level. A very lovable soul - who put his own personal stamp on bebop .

    My jazz piano teacher was a sax player that learned to play the piano as an adult after lyme disease ended his sax career. During my second lesson with him, he shared a story about how early on he found himself feeling overwhelmed and frustrated trying to do all the "right" things in his practice. But then one day he was out driving somewhere and he saw some kids skateboarding, and one of the kids was trying to land a trick, but kept biting it. The kid was getting banged up, but he kept trying, and his friends were all cheering him on, and they were all having a great time. He said that at that moment, he decided he was going to approach his piano practice in the same way, and when he did that, practice became fun and everything started to click for him. When I saw the title of this video, I was intrigued because it reminded me of that, and I think it's neat that you and he both make that comparison. When he told me that story, it made a big impact on me, and I appreciate the reminder to learn more like a skateboarder!
