I'm learning so much! THANK YOU
As always, thank you so much for sharing with us. Have a good day, Denis.
Once again a very thoughtful and useful video.
High quality instruction from Dennis Chang.
This the best jazz guitar lesson i ever saw on UA-cam, concept are clear and you go straitghforward without getting too complex, its really good thanks a lot for your work.
Great stuff again. Thanks for doing this.
"Play a c minor scale and a D flat scale ...and hope for the best.".....my entire approach to playing the guitar in a nutshell.
This was the first one I learned when learning to play jazz. Very nice lines 👍!
Brilliant clear teaching - and even better, builds on the version I know.
Very inspiring and musical thank you for the lesson.
Thanks for my first jazz song!!
Thank you for so many great tips and direction 👏👏👏
What a sound ❤️
Thank you Denis , great lessons .
😍👏 Great! Beautiful guitar Denis
High quality lesson ! Thank you for sharing
Underrated channel
Hi Denis, I recently discovered your channel while learning to use SoundSlice. This must be the 4th time I’m watching this lesson, and will probably watch it a few more times. I like your teaching approach. I also your language approach to music. I started to learn to play the guitar in Jan 2022 at 70, trying out Blues and some Jazz. This year I want to focus on Jazz. I have learned the melody of Blue Bossa and now want to learn how to improvise. I will stay for a while and buy some of your courses at SoundSlice. Thank you for this lesson. There is quite a lot here. 👍👍👍
Thanks Denis!
Thanks for doing these videos!
Delightful! Great vibes here. 💓💓🙏🙏🎸🎸

I enjoyed this.
Just amazing!! i loved this song-focused approach.
Lets pump di algorythm!
Thx so much!!
thanks you're the best
1st 10 min are loooong. Yet... essential and so true for beginners. Thank you Denis. Im hungry for jazz...
Great lesson. Thanks
Thanks Denis.
Thanks for the vid! I really enjoyed hearing that spicy bebop licks
Good job Denis, so many jazz musicians struggle to explain the basic approaches, which makes it really hard when you start. Key centres are a great way to get going on songs with structures friendly to that approach (and most are). Triads also great, but can lead to listener fatigue very quickly if you don't give them some personality :)
Yes indeed many are friendly to this approach to varying degrees. I really like Blue Bossa, because it’s not just one key and you fake your way around, there’s just one extra sudden key shift. Enough to force the student to be aware of when to switch. With Autumn Leaves, you can kind of fake your way in only one key since both keys share the same key signature. At the end of this video, I talk about different tiers of songs. I don’t think songs like Body and Soul or There Will Never Be Another You are appropriate for complete beginners. Those tunes are not too difficult but are part of another tier that requires the abilities that could be easily developed while working on songs from the Blue Bossa tier.
@@DenisChangMusic I was exactly thinking of Body and Soul as not great for the key centre approach
nice playing!
Keep up the good work
Thank you!
You have got to be my favorite educator on UA-cam for jazz. Thanks for all the content, keep it coming!
Excellent
Great advice!!
Thanks Denis!, new to Bossa style and I think this lesson is the best beginner lesson there is. Like what you said in the beginning I just want to help by commenting and subscribing. So here's some support for ya...commented and subscribed for more awesome lessons like this. Cheers mate! :)
nice denis 🎶🎸❤
Great lesson - than you!
I did the same for traditional québécois and irish music, going out to sessions and learning from the expert players!!...
Thanks!
Thnx Denis
Hey ! Denis thankyou for another great lesson ! love what Rocky Gresset does great ability awesome player ! one of Selmer's 607
ya Rocky's not only a great player, but a great person as well. He's someone that I also consider a friend.
@@DenisChangMusic Nice to hear it ! I've just seen videos of him and other top names playing in Paris
Great video Denis! Another cool thing I like to do is instead of the Ab7 alt, I use a D#9 before the DbMaj 7, and I like playing the B nat over the G alt. in the head, although I get strange looks, it sounds cooler.
Please come back to Pender Island and play another concert. cheers
This is helpful for trombonists.
ce n'est pas de la vraie impro c'est appris par coeur
love the video! please make more like it. I checked out DC music school and its the best thing I've found for learning Gypsy Jazz the authentic way not living in a community. I learned the basics of Sinti music from my family but sadly I'm cocoro. What artist lessons stand out to you as being full of great lines to learn from? I have yorgui, Tschavolo (i love watching him), stochelo and a few of Angelo Debarre.
👌 super thanks for 📫
nice!
This might be a topic for another video but I particulary watched this one because this is a tune I've found difficult to negotiate on a solo, phrasing-wise, without ending up with all the lines sounding rhythmically the same. Probably because it's a groove tune. I'm always curious what different players will do with simple groove tunes like this, and say St. Thomas. And as I listen to some of the version, I see that even some of the great players end up with the same problem :) Others don't and handle it in a way that I think sounds great. Joe Henderson, for instance was great, and also the Pat Martino. and also a more straight Latin one I found (at least for the groove) Joscho Stephan and Peter Autschbach, and Joe Pass was great on the phrasing against the groove.
yeah
Nice .I will Work on it but Ain’t enough dough Feeling !
J’y ai mis 2 mon English
Thank you for a great lesson. Could you perhaps give us more ideas on which songs would be in which tiers of learning to help guide practice?
Sorry, just saw your message! That’s a good idea, and i’ll think about this topic, and hopefully make it in the coming weeks!
You are the best of the best! Thanks, however, when you improvise, do you see lick patterns, chord tones, or just a ton of note choices when you solo?
Thanks 🙏. What guitar are you playing and what would you suggest for a jazz beginner ?
Very good video. It's nice to simplify things... Do you think a great jazz guitar player needs to be to able to transcribe pro jazz solos, like many teachers say?

you just made me go down a Blue Bossa rabbit hole with those recordings you mentioned. And I found some other good ones too! Thanks again!
So Great Denis! Can I ask, How do you get the sound from of your guitar--any pedal etc. I can get my hands on? Sounds so suite! Ken, NY
sur D-75b jouer un arpège de F-M7 (AbM7#5) et sur G7 jouer un arpège de Ab-M7 (BM7#5) deux arpèges séparés d'une tierce mineure
En tant que débutant / intermédiaire est ce que je peux me contenter de faire sonner la gamme mineure harmonique sur G7 ou apprendre a transitionber rapidement sur l'arpège de Ab-M7 vaut il le coup , est ce que cela apporte un vrai plus a ce stade ? Et est ce que sur cet arpège il faut rajouter d'autres notes ?
Whatever you paid for that guitar, it was worth it. NICE sound.
It was a very good price! I just paid for shipping 😂
👍
Which amp and pedals you are using😊
Good video Dennis. I notice you, like me, use your pinky finger as much as the others. I have found that a lot of the Gypsy jazz players, like the rock players, like Eric Clapton for instance, don't use the pinky that much. I'm wondering why?
Hello Denis, do you think gypsy picking and rest stroke is a trick now because alternate picking is more efficient. REGARDS.
Hi. Hmm I don't know hahaha I think on acoustic guitars there is a very distinct tone with that technique, but on electric guitar, it's not as easy to hear. Using that technique also makes certain phrases that were made with that technique a bit easier to play. I guess it's just different. I think for sure that modern technique is more versatile in general though. It's a very hard question to answer. But also, different people mean different things from "Gypsy Picking". Like it does it mean using rest strokes, or floating the wrist. If it's floating the wrist, there are some players who alternate pick using a floating wrist, like many jazz guitar players in Hungary
have you ever transcribed a drum solo?
not solos but i've paid careful attention to how drummers play different styles!
Blues approach = Grant Green and Kenny Burrell!!...
We have this idea that those great players improvised all those cool lines, but I'm pretty certain they worked some of them out on piano, or composed them using notation and then practiced them to incorporate them in their playing!!...those guys practiced 10 hours a day minimum and jazz was the "hip" thing back in the days!!...
I think this is like a múltiplos exercícies ,I can’t hear some music, just my opinion.
This guy just babbles about how much he knows and how good he is.
I like your approach but your intro is tooooooo long
You do talk a lot, you go round in circles repeating which is good for lectures but not everyone is up for a lecture hahaha.
Geez ,4 min + until you actually got to the content,👎to much talk, I'm out
U don’t even sound jazz 🤣
Kenny G and Nick Jonas say I do!
"Stay awhile and listen". There's another DC who likes to say that alot too.
Oh! A connoisseur! That means you are familiar with the Asus2 sound!!!
Excellent
