@@gtrbarbarian thanks so much! That guitar is actually a 1 pickup ES125. Hard to tell from that camera angle. I really appreciate the kind words. Merry Christmas to you, as well.

Thanks for asking. It's really a G major scale. I play the first note on the 6th string, then notes 2 and 3 up an octave. Notss 4 and 5 are Back in the lower octave. That pattern continues. I think the PDF is correct, and it should match what i played. Cheers!

@@ScottM65 Thanks! I'll look it over.

Thanks! Glad you like it. Cheers!

Thanks so much!

Thank you! That's so nice to hear.

Thanks for the kind words. Sure can’t say I deserve that, but it’s much appreciated.

Thanks!

@@lowcountrystrings thanks for the kind words. Yes, it’s a standard ES335. Just a few years old.

Thank you so much. Some days this is my favorite song, ever!

Thank you!

@@ScottM65 Absolutely!!!

Thanks! I really apprciate it.

Thanks. Glad you like it. It's A Henriksen jazz amp 10 going direct out to the interface.

@@moeb4348 thanks for asking! I’m thinking the key of G major. The note is a passing tone between 5 & 6. So I suppose you could call it a minor 6th from the root. That Same note over the five chord is a flat nine between the root and 9 of that V chord. The more common “bebop note” over the V is a passing tone between its root and flat 7. In the tonal center/key of G, it would be a #4 (or flat 5, if you prefer). Not sure the interval label is as useful as the way it sits as a passing tone in the line construction. This video explains the concept (I hope). ua-cam.com/video/3EkSqwWuBxg/v-deo.htmlsi=SsPcj27Pj8ozOOlx

@@ScottM65 Thanks. That's what I gathered after watching a few times and playing along. It's a very cool note and works well with the B-bop progression. When I play it, it makes me sound like I really know how to solo in jazz! Even though, I am just a beginner. Great post.

I'm so glad you liked it. We're all students. I know I am.

Appreciate it! I wish I could remember to just stop with the lines and play a couple of chords to allow some space/breath. Comping for myself is not something I have ever done well. …a work in progress, I guess.

Thanks for the kind words. So sorry I overlooked this comment. My Dad played pedal steel, so I have been around it all my life. Picking it up at age 55 was easier for me than it might have been for others because of that. I had never had any desire to learn because it was his thing. When he passed away, my whole attitude changed, and I have so many things I wish I could ask him about it, now.

Thanks so much! I appreciate the kind words. The book is called "Solo Improvisation Techniques for the Jazz Guitar." As I understand, It's been out of print for som time.

Thanks. If I recall correctly, I plugged directly into the interface, then into Logic with an amp simulator.

Thanks for subscribing! I appreciate the kind words, too. Cheers!

Thank you!! Happy holidays!

Sorry for the delay. Try this: www.swiss-jazz.ch/standards-jazz/WhatArDoing.pdf

Thanks! Its actually called ‘what are you doing the rest of your life’ - a Michelle LeGrand tune. It probably sounds improvised, because I don’t play it very well. Especially the ending. Honestly, I’m trying to get better at quickly memorizing things. I played this from memory, but poorly.

Glad you liked it! I have not done enough videos demonstrating the concepts I cover, and I need to do this more. Thanks for the positive feedback!

Glad it was helpful! I'm still learning, too, and I think we all are. Cheers, my friend!

Thank you! If you have anything you would like me to cover, please let me know. I certainly have weaknesses, but I’m happy to share what I can.

Glad you liked it! I'm a lifelong student of guitar, and I hope sharing my perspective is helpful to some players.

Thanks! I'm certainly not much of a steel guitarist. That was my dad's thing, and he was VERY good. I started playing when he died about 2 1/2 years ago, and I really do enjoy it. Still can't make it sound smooth, like it should. Hope it gets better.

Awesome, thank you!

Thank you! I am plugged into a DSM Humboldt Simplifier directly into the interface.

Many thanks! I have about 6 different Charlie Parker blues tunes that I cant get out of my head. This one has been in the rotation. I love playing the heads, but soloing is not something I practice enough. I really appreciate your kind words.

Thanks! I really appreciate it. I was just experimenting with the sound and did a clean and dirty version. Didn't really plan on recording a solo. I have been working on several Charlie Parker blues heads lately, but just the melody.

Thanks so much! I really do appreciate the kind words.

Thanks so much. Sorry I overlooked your comment. I will try to keep doing this. My idea was that others might learn from my mistakes. After playing for 40 some years, there are many things I believe I had made overly complicated, and it really set me back.

Glad you like it! I'm just hoping others can learn from my mistakes. ...the ones i've made by trying to make everything too complicated.

@@ScottM65 Complication is something relative, if you're really interested in outside playing, slowly you'll grasp the sound of tension and release.

Thank you for watching!

Thanks so much.
