What a great tutorial! I love it when someone comes and simplifies things like this and gives you a trick so you can start making music right away! Thank yoU!
jim has been such a good teacher to me i literally smash concerts all week now and get bare stacks just playing this silly little tube its so dope deffo try it boys
Making learning fun is inspiringly contagious and encouraging.Mr.Teacher, you approach improv. from a whole language musical method approach, which is incipiently devoid of complex rules akin to when an infant is learning to speak - without inhibition or restraint. I give you more credit than words can ever say!
Thank you so much for posting this up. You simplified it so well-- can't wait to try out the techniques here. Who would have thought "My name is Mary" could result to the wonderful jam you show here. Thank you!
For many years I played a Sankyo Silversonic: I loved it! It had a warm, full sound, and a quick responsive head. A few weeks before this performance, it was stolen, and I moved to a Muramatsu EXRBE. It has a fine sound too, but I was not quite at ease with it at this stage. I like open tone holes for jazz and blues.
Oooh! I'm excited to try this out! I've played in high school for years, but it's been several since and your video makes it seem possible! Thanks so much!
Hello Herman: hope that you are still making wonderful valve trombone music, and captivating tenor recorder bossa novas. Yes, I know Maurice, and greatly respect his craftsmanship, and also his free-blowing bass clarinet excitement. Auckland is a great place for all sorts of music.
Had a lot of fun jamming along with you here. Very clever technique using the 'My name is Mary' to set the phrase. I'm sure this will cause the the 'light to go on' for some budding Jazzers.
Well, anyone who displays a Sun-Ra shirt is definitely worth a listen. Improv concepts are a challenge to demonstrate . --I have wanted to give a class on 'how to play subdued with passion' to all the guitarists that have drowned me with their wall of blasted sound so many times.
Hi Elizabeth, you are quite right: I do this several times as I am keeping things simple for beginner practice. As an expert, please play the chords as you hear them there in every 2nd measure of each chorus, and also in measure eight of the first 5 choruses, and too in measures 7 and 8 of the final 3 choruses. As well,you can follow the more advanced turn-around chords! Have fun!
It's called flutter tongue. Just roll your tongue (like rolling your 'r's) while you're playing. To begin, it may be easier to start by rolling your tongue, then directing your air flow as you normally would play (all away from the flute) then bringing the flute to your mouth and playing! Takes a bit of practice but it's worth it :D
Hi there Pop Jones and cacaboy: so you figured out my disguise eh?! Happy to gig anytime! and your playing and videoing is really good Pop: anytime you visit New Zealand I'd love to do some flute duetting with you....Happy New Year.
I think the technique you are talking about is called fluttertongue. If you want to try it out, you're in luck because it is fairly easy. All you have to do is roll your R's while blowing with the proper embouchure. It will stagger the air in a really cool way.
@@annikagibbons4146 then you can't do it. Not unless you become a god at doubletonging which is a whole different thing. But even doubletonging won't be nearly as fast as fluttertongue.
The weird rolling noise is him rolling is R's. It's more common for brass instruments, but right now I'm the only person in our band, as a flute, that can do it sustainably. It just takes practice. The other ways he's changing the sound is just by manipulating the air stream.
Hi Jim, I have been studying the flute for 3 years, this year 2020, my teacher has asked me to find a Blues song, I think my level is intermediate, he wants me to memorize it ! and not follow any sheet, this scares me a lot because my memory I believe it has starting to show the age...can you help me in finding something, any suggestion I will appreciate it ! thanks,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,I been following this video..........love your playing !
Hi Crystal: this is called flutter-tonguing, and is a rolled "r" or "t", as in Spanish or French. Use the tip of the tongue as if saying "dr" or "tr" to produce a roll or flutter while playing your chosen note. I find it easier in the higher register. It isn't that hard to do!
Are you playing an open hole flute that you can get those slurred up and down runs? Do you use your embouchure as well to blow them down?. I play a closed hole flute and runs have much more distinct notes, quite difficult to slur them into one another as you are doing here.
Hi Jim,you have aged gracefully too. Remember the EKETAHUNA GLEE COMPANY. You doing a good job here. Where do live nowadays ? Do you know Maurice Reviol in Henderson?

Bless you, Jim. Now I just need to overcome my crippling social anxiety and I'm good to go...
I relate to this comment on a spiritual level.

Jim, you don't know how much you just added to the quality of my life...or maybe you do.
Thank you.
Wow! Jim packs a lot into a 5-minute intro lesson. Takes you from nothing to a satisfying blues, showing how to build it up, step by step.
"Hi, I'm Jim" - "Hi Jim!"

Best jazz instructor so far in you tube in what concerns intro to improvisation.
Wow! Thanks so much Jim! I absolutely love playing along to your videos! They are really helping my jazz flute come along pretty well!
I love the sun ra shirt...my father plays with the sun ra arkestra...good lesson Jim

What technique is that on 2:02 ? I cant seem to get that sound on my flute

Dr Narwhal what if you can’t roll your r’s

How to buy The Sun Ra T-Shirt?
good job. thank you!

love this. where did you get that Sun Ra tee? i must have one. I even interviewed him!
THANKS
thank you sir
Can you post the backing track? thanks
Try: Aebersold Vol 42, Blues In All Keys, Track 03, Blues C.
This is an excellent resource for all players. Practise in as many keys as you can!
Hi Jim,Still got your Bb flute ? Ron
Are you playing an open hole flute that you can get those slurred up and down runs? Do you use your embouchure as well to blow them down?. I play a closed hole flute and runs have much more distinct notes, quite difficult to slur them into one another as you are doing here.
Hi Jim,you have aged gracefully too. Remember the EKETAHUNA GLEE COMPANY.
You doing a good job here. Where do live nowadays ?
Do you know Maurice Reviol in Henderson?
Reminds me of the Uno nota Samba
OMG, someone know the name of that type of blow in 2:01 and how to do it?
its just about lips movements
Five years late but, it's called flutter toughing. If you can roll your r's just do that while blowing into the flute.
What brand of flute?
good trick
OK, thanks, and lesson two is on the way.....
really a lot of fun thank you so much! Am I right that it's Eb and Bb? you are playing?
Great ! Like 914
cool shirt
So this is how Peter Gabriel spends his time when he's not on the road? ;)
like the t-.shirt.
Yeah! Sun Ra lives!!
Jazz Flöte ist groß. Üben und Spaß haben!

Hi Caitlyn Welcome
Nice playing and useful tutorial for beginners - just a little bit too much tut-tut-tut in the impros for my personal taste...
I came here cause I thought it was gregg popovich in the thumbnail
I don't even play flute
Great to play along...what fun.

At 2:58, you played an E over an F7, Jim. Poor showing.
Elizabeth Duran lmao E is a note of F7

Repetido. Muita conversa. Pouca musicalidade.
