I love it. Another great class, Chase. I don't believe in a " Number One Best" in any musical endeavor, but your classes are amoung the best jazz guitar classes. It's all there, theory, exercises, practicality, beautiful music, plus whatever. ❤😊😊
Great lesson, explaining Wes Montgomery's use of Diminished chords to 'fill' in other notes around Minor7 chord inversions, to play melodies with these different inversions off the top string. Its a pretty simple idea, of preceding each minor7 with its own Dom7b9, sounds fantastic, & that Wes used brilliantly, and you explained so well. Thanks Chase
Wes does a great solo in THE THMB, a blues were the end of his chord solo he plays a chorus from a blues on Count Basie's 50s LP Atomic Basie called as I remember Splanky, arranged &/or composed by Neal Hefti. That chorus is played by lots of musicians in jam sessions.
Great lesson. You were very clear about the harmonic idea and the Wes examples fit perfectly and they were actually playable. Also, the length of it was just right.
Wes video?!?! - Okay I'm in! 🙂- great content as always my friend! Quick side question, have you listened to Julian Lage - "Tributary"? Or just Lage in general? I found him recently and he is quite a player, he blends Jazz with a few different things and it works very well. Anyway, just thought I'd ask - Have a great Saturday!
Thanks Chris! 🙏 I haven’t checked out “Tributary” but I’m definitely a fan of Julian Lage. Was lucky enough to go to masterclass of his in Jacksonville when I was a student there. Appreciate the comment 🤘
Great lessons. Seems to be a lot of potential in developing drop 2 techniques and this lesson is a good beginning. There, in my mind, is a lot here. Thanks for posting!
Really appreciate your comment @ 9.24 regarding "breaking down each melodic cell" of Wes' chord melody lines for practice -- versus trying to learn the whole line at once. I plead guilty of doing this.
The ones you’re probably seeing are these big Jazz tomes. One is “The Oxford companion to Jazz” and the other is “The Penguin Guide to Jazz Recordings”.
Awesome video, thank you. Wes is truly my favourite artist of all time, all genres considered. A true legend.
Couldn't agree more! Thank you Laurent!

Excellent !! Thank you for sharing.
Thanks Robert! 🤘
Just love these lessons, I just tend to go to chords over single note improvisation. Something that is a personal preference. Thanks for sharing.
Hope this helps! Thanks Stuart! 🤘
Awesome. Apply this to tunes keeping melody as highest note opens up a treasure trove of chord soloing ideas. Thanks and good luck at your new studio.
Absolutely! Thank you 🙏

De nada!
Chase, which Jazz books you have in the background ?
The ones you’re probably seeing are these big Jazz tomes. One is “The Oxford companion to Jazz” and the other is “The Penguin Guide to Jazz Recordings”.
How do I get the free PDF ? 🤔
Check out the description and find the link 👍
Who taught Wes drop twos?
Ask him 😉
