Because UA-cam doesn't need another “virtuoso.”
I just want to document what i'm working on-a bit of jazz, blues, rock, acoustic stuff and anything else involving improvisation--so all my toiling doesn't evaporate into the ether.
Recording oneself--especially on video--is productive but humbling as a mother$#@%!. Especially when you're panic-stricken at the thought of anyone watching you play guitar.
Keep calm and carry on.

BILLIE'S BOUNCE (HEAD & SOLO: 1ST CHORUS)
Переглядів 1432 місяці тому
I've always felt like a tool for not memorizing the head to Billie's Bounce a classic Charlie Parker blues in F. Also, I always felt like a half-asser for never really learning that famous 1st chorus of his solo. It really is part of the head at this point. So, thar she blows. And I do mean "blows." #billie'sbounce #charlieparker #guitar #jazzbluesguitar #gibsoncustomshop #jazz #bebop
WHAT DO "DONNA LEE" & THE 1973 INDY 500 HAVE IN COMMON?

It started out as a lesson on Barry Harris' scales for "Donna Lee/Indiana." Then, it took a sharp detour into the tragic story of the "jinxed" 1973 Indy 500. With stops at "Gomer Pyle," 70's pornography, two US holidays, my dad, my brother, “Mad Men,”STP oil treatment, Andy Granatelli, Tortuga’s decapitated head, multiple guitars, a brief cameo by Brad Pitt & Morgan Freeman, one decidedly medio...
WAS BARRY HARRIS A WESTERN SWINGER?
Переглядів 5214 місяці тому
Given his love affair with the 6th chord, he could've been both! The more i dig into the Barry Harris stuff with Chris Parks @OpenStudioJazz the more i hear similarities between early bop-infused dance bands like Jay McShann's and the western swingers like Bob Wills and the Texas Playboys. The liberal use of 6th chords jumps out. Obviously, the great western swing guitar players mostly develope...

Yeah man! Good stuff as always.
@@thingsivelearnedfrombarryh2616 i am humbled sensei…just spent 4 hours reviewing Segment and working on Celia. bebopisf$&@inghard!
This is fantastic stuff! Props for thoroughly entertaining presentation, but also the historical stuff on the transcription, and of course highlighting the late, great Tommy Bolin's woefully under appreciated contribution to the world of great guitar music! Love his no frills Strat tone on this one, and the way that "now you hear it, now you don't" delay gets applied. Can't thank you enough for helping us all get a better handle on playing it AND deepening our appreciation for it! Dude, you are a UA-cam Treasure--keep up the great work!
@@geschickt wow. that means so much! thank u 🙏🙏🙏
When funky intro is mentioned, circa 31s, it says "THE FUNKY INTO"....and I'm sure, after all the woik you put into this, that's just what you wanted to hear...😃
Sigh…youre right…a loooot of work a lot of reviewing and revising and hundreds of hours agonizing over it and still i f#$&ing missed that! 🤯😫😀no way to fix it nowl wo taking it down and reediting so id lose my whopping 40 views! Lol
Wow. Very impressive. You totally own that head now! Congratulations!

indeed!
Love to hear some more. You were just getting warmed up!
I know but ive learned to quit while im ahead. thanks brother!
Ive loved this track for 45 years and only recently started playing it. Your work here explaining details is really helpful - really appreciate these classes! Youre doing a cool job! Thank u. BTW any chance of explaining Stratus or Mahavishnu tracks. How about Evo Love by Jan Hammer form the 70s?
@@ivonsmith4255 ha!! thnx my friend! stay tuned for Part 3-a detailed session on the famous head. then part 4 the solo! if I do a part five, it’ll be some Barry Harris voicing that you can co-op and fun so you’re not just playing the same two cords over and over again. I don’t know stratus. I’ve always wanted to learn it and I don’t have the chops to play any Mahavishnu tunes sorry but thanks man and don’t know that Jan Hammer tune. My love of Jan Hammer is limited to the records. He did with Jeff Beck before that I mentioned in episode one which are among my favorite albums of all time especially blow by blow and wired. I’m not sure ya were played on wired. Actually I know he played on blow by blow and his work with my Vishnu and of course the Miami Vice theme the original TV show theme didn’t really listen to much of his solo stuff.
@jeremyversusjazz thank. Looking forward to the next parts. Here that Jan Hammer track, in 7/8. ua-cam.com/video/bGJ3yXJwdwI/v-deo.htmlsi=GnBkt-VTEsQmMLu5
A joy to watch and listen to this. Love it!
oh man! thnk u my brother. coming from u that means a lot! yeah, the Tim, lerch courses on true fire are fantastic.

@@owleyes7966 dude you don’t know how much that means to me man I just got choked up thanks brother!🙏
Does altering the speed of the video also tune your guitar up a half step, or are you just tuned up a half step? Bb sounds like B; D sounds like a Eb, etc
I don't change the speed of the actual playing--only my yapping...to try to cut down o run time. If there is a sped up playing example it's a mistake or i did it deliberately if its a cover to avoid copyright issues. Thanks for watching!
