Little Sunflower is a tune I keep returning to over the years. These ideas you've shared are a great place to start approaching this song. I'll be using the interval shapes/sounds and variations to warm up on this. It's time to revisit Little Sunflower again I figure. Another thing I'd like to mention is that this tune is great for working on comping in a modal scenario. Thanks for reminding us about this piece of music which is a great vehicle to jam over with players of any and all levels. A big thanks Mikko! You always have something that inspires me to pick up my guitar and get back to the shed. Best regards from Montréal.
@@Mikkokosmos I love Montréal as well. But I may be a little biased having lived in and around the city all my life! Lol When travelling becomes possible again you might consider applying for some gigs around the time of the Montreal International Jazz Festival. There are a lot of gigs at this time, not necessarily associated with the festival, but every club and restaurant hires jazz musicians during the fest.. Pretty sure you could find cheap or free accommodations. ✌😉🎼🎶🎸🎸
heyy Nikko .. thank you very much for your excellent lesson, to develop us in the jungle of the six strings, and jazz .. what would be the most logical position to practice on the guitar after the 5th fret? .. I always practice it on it and .. that .. for you what would it be? .. the 8th fret maybe?..( i know.. stupid question..🤦), but its make me headache..
hi Mikko...noce practicing in the end I combined rhis with pentatonics taken from the dorian scale paterns from Good Old John Coltrane I recently learnwd from Chad Lubowitch: STARTS AT THE vIi degree: CDGA DCFG ACFG BGEC DFAC EDGA C the idea is to brong this to an insane tempo it uses steps and skips with the middle tone or 3rd of each patwr ...combined with regular arpefgios
Or something likebstratingvat IVth degree( merely myxo lydian over dorian) fgcd feac bdga CAFD AGCd f then back like starting with enclosure GfdD# EDGA CAFD BDGA FEAC EDGA DCFG A I ould also recommend hifhly practicinf quinuplets or goupings in t on one beat to refresh I enjoyed alot playing joe henderson solos....
Also the 4ths pentatonic in tvrohpings would be for instance DGFAC GCADF CFCGA etc I like mainly the 3t89 shapes and the 125 or65 21 shapes combined as sort of a coubtdown orbshreddibg device to ad to the tools you came up with..
Estupenda clase !!!
De verdad mil gracias !!!
Another inspiring lesson! Thank you Mikko!

No it's a valid question. Maybe after that go to 10th fret? And then gradually try to work the whole fretboard?
perfect .. that's what I'll do. So I cover the big part of the fretboard and after i move gradually... thank youuu..👍
Any lessons / books on writing tunes?
hmm that's a good idea

What input are you using on your Quilter?
I'm actually playing in stereo. There is another amp. Tanglewood acoustic amp 😎
