Ibanez MM1 Martin Miller Signature Guitar: www.google.de/...
This is a snippet taken from a private guitar lesson I held with Nino Helfrich, showing an exercise on how to resolve your lines over a 2-5-1 progression. Nino has been a long-term student of mine, is an Ibanez artist and has original music out. Go follow him via / ninohelfrich
martin from past learning from Martin from the future.
bielzinho ferreira nailed it holy shit
hahahaha
lol
Haha I was gonna comment this
Exactly!
Thanks to Martin for having me once again. These exercises are very helpful indeed!
Nino Helfrich Thank you for letting share this videos.
Fantastic man.
Great video. Thanks for sharing. 😁
...because it's unnecessary. If he's a long-term student of Martin he's obviously doing just that. some of us would like to get more vids like this in the future and your insult is not helping with that. Be thankful that they uploaded the lesson in the first place
Thanks so much for letting Martin share! For myself, I know that I would certainly be a little embarassed! But you did great and this lesson is perfect.
Martin this guy is one of your best students in terms of attitude -just my opinion
Thanks a lot! I highly appreciate that coming from you.
Martin, you are a very strong, assertive teacher and few students would have a good time dealing with that, but this man certainly does!
You also do a great job of rewarding good behaviour when a student does do a great job. Thank you so much just for being such an active, passionate, caring teacher to your students. I watched your video with Music Is Win, I think you were on his show the other day and it was very cool. Keep this up, and I'll keep on watchin!
Damn! What Martin said is absolutely beautiful start from 14:48
Got a diploma in classical guitar, have been playing for 20 years. You know what, i know nothing. i MUST have a lesson with you. :)
Thanks for sharing these lessons Martin. They are pure gold.
I just teak a break (studying your hybrid masterclass vol.3) to see this! thank you for sharing Martin
Man, you're such an amazing musician! You also have great skills as an instructor. Thank you very much for uploading this.
This is a gold mine of information. I remember when my guitar teacher taught me this.
Kudos man! At your age, playing Engl amps, and an axe like that, but swinging the blues, such a contrast! And what a teacher you have gotten yourself!
Again, I love these lesson-excerpts. Highly appreciated. Just the little technical episode and the imagination of a "robot" has helped me, since I tend to overemphasize precision and accuracy, but find it difficult, to put the finger down fast, but not to use too much pressure. I guess the latter is probably not my problem after all.
Thanks for the upload Martin. It helps many guitarists
You gotta have the patience of a saint.
Your a great teacher martin love your lessons.
Please make a video for all target tones in each chords in 2-5-1 progression it can help a lot thank you very much.
Greet job guys ,great teacher !!!! Great student !
I would like to have guitar lessons with some day. Your teaching is amazing.
You are the Man Martín Miller!!!
I love the way you kik off with nice touch.
You help me a lot.
Thanks
This is really great Martin, Kenny Werner does this exact exercise (and more) on his my music masterclass video lessons, highly recommended
Nice, I'll check it out.
I really dig his book.
In your video cover of easy lover, your solo was very well played and perhaps you out phrased, and out noted the other gentleman playing the white strat but I enjoyed his solo so much more, so much more emotion, and energy, but I think if you thought less while you’re soloing and let your feelings dominate you could be a guitar god !!! Thanks so much I really enjoy everything you and your boys play, such perfection and grace !!!
I don't think while I'm soloing, I'm thinking while I'm studying/teaching. I'm not sure though how you would wether my feelings dominate my playing. That is an entirely subjective experience I think? Maybe I play with MY feelings and you prefer others :)
@@MartinMillerGuitar I meant no disrespect in fact I strive to be a more technical player like you, it’s very hard for me to go back and learn to play the right way, I’ve always played off the cuff using very little theory and although it’s incredibly fun I feel I’ve done myself a grave injustice, but I’m truly inspired by your playing and ability.... I meant no disrespect in my observation of easy lover, you guys are the real deal !
@@redsunriot4280 Hey man, no discrespect taken at all! It's an interesting discussion. I don't think music itself has any emotion at all. The emotion is the listeners response to music and I think it's important to understand that that is personal. In fact, it has to do with having respect for another persons point of view. I try not to force my taste (which is really what the term "emotion" stands for in this scenario) onto an artist or another listener. Wishing you all the best with your journey, hope these videos help a bit!
@@MartinMillerGuitar great point, very true , you’re a beast of a guitarist and a gentleman, keep making great videos !
The next time I don't like my bandmate's line, I'm going to say "That was not a Grammy-winning line!" and see how he reacts. Ah, the dry wit of Martin.
Thank you mate this helped my picking so much
Martin as always exposing his students haha, jokes aside great great lesson
thanks a lot for sharing this martin !
Great excercise! That's exactly the main content of my own lessons. And Nino... I'm just as "slow" as you. Spontaneous, concious (!) visualisation is hard anyway. But when it comes to those changes with the altered scale, it's even harder. @Martin: do you already visualise the next scale on the fretboard while still playing the previous scale? Or how do you think in this case? What's the thought process? Mostly, I even need time to think about how to think, before I can think about the scales themselves. Please keep these lesson vids going! Cheers, Markus :)
Master class. Your student here is so onto it. I would be so lost.
Thank you very much for sharing that with us.
Thanks for the lesson...you just earn a new subscriber...Stay blessed..
Ive waiting for this! How much do you recommend your course in JTC and in Troy Grady? Which one do you prefer for the best result in a single purchase?
Josh Montederamos where are you from sir?
The Improv Masterclass Vol. 1 adresses the fundamentals the most, so I'd say go with that.
Martin Miller trust me, ill get a copy of that! Thanks a lot!
They actually look alike lol
Excellent, thanks for this!
The best!!!!
Awesome!
Thought the resolution to the 7th sounded great. Bit spicy.
There's definitely an element of taste in there. As I said, objectively there's nothing wrong with it.
Nino is a good pupil.
Makes me realise that I just play the guitar, I don't understand it.
Thank you.
Martin teaches Martin
Dang! I just couldn't hear any double notes there at first! @7:24
I had to replay everything to catch any...
And the "dont't be lazy" thing, gotta love German blunt sincerity.
We're both german so Nino knows how to take it ;)
I loved it, actually! It's so much more productive than having to postpone progress with euphemisms and sugar coating... I'm dying to take lessons from you, man. :D
is this type of material in the JTC Improv course?
There is a some of this.
Also there is a course of luca mantovanelli dedicated to 2-5-1 in JTC
I have zero idea what he’s talking about...not a clue...but it’s cool!
🔥🔥🔥
Why did you start with Dorian as the first scale? I'm very interested in your techniques man
It's not a matter of choice. Functional/diatonic harmony dictates it.
I suggest getting a hold of any jazz theory book out there that is ideally non-guitar related, as these are general rules of music. Good luck and thanks dude!
Martin Miller thank you, I've just purchased the Berklee book of jazz harmony. I will let you know how I go if you're interested. Thanks again Maestro. KJ
Can someone tell me the name of the scale they use over the G7 chord? Thanks!
I couldn't get it either... but breaking down the pieces I think it's this one:
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Altered_scale
How does one get a Skype lesson with you sir. Didn't see any info on your site.
I prefer Martin Miller in studio !
I know my knowledge of theory is limited. One thing at the begining I don’t get. Why is the G altered the proper scale over the G7 chord and how does this scale looks like? I guess the G7 with the #5 comment by Martin maken this clear for the student but I haven’t figured this out. Anyone to put me in the right direction?
And I figured It out....and on to really understanding the rest of the lesson.
Aside from the fantastic lesson, somebody broke wind at 9:22 💨💨😂
😂 lol
Give him a Break!
in G7 (altered) can play mixolydian, may diminished or surly super locrian... all take care m8
Wether you can play diminished or altered depends on the alterations of the actual voicing. Mixolydian won‘t work over any altered chord.
@@MartinMillerGuitar thnx :)
is he rushing or dragging?
How does one book one of these private lessons?
How do you get to a level answer the questions mr Miller is asking , I know CAGED that’s it - I couldn’t answer these questions
I've wasted so many hours just trying to figure it myself and to be honest and i think i have crossed that intermediate mark. Wish i could take some lessons from good player.
Great , as always Martin. I would love to be able to get some skype lessons. Dennis
If I'm playing Dm, G7, C
I'd just think C plus weird notes over G idk
That's is, I wouldn't think Dorian for the ii
Quintin Pace D dorian is C major. Its dumb. Jazz people make everything harder than it is. (Eyeroll).
And they need to learn to shut up more. Too many notes. Too much showing off, no musicality.
@@joeysixstring2442 D Dorian is C maj if the tonal center is C, which is why modes are not needed for trad, tonal jazz. Kind of Blue does need modes ofc. Jazz is gr8 music but sometime the way that's its taught over complicates things.
Quintin Pace that’s actually an incorrect way to view it imo. The “tonal center” is still C over the D. The TRIADS of D however are chord tones. Therefore they act like tonal centers, but its still C with an emphasis on a chord tone. Not a D tonal center.
@@joeysixstring2442 There seems to have been a misunderstanding, as I advocated for the tonal center remaining C the entire time (because it does). If the tonal center is C, it's C. All the notes will relate back to C functionally, so no modes have any application as modes (which would require them to be the tonal center). Jazz guys use modes to order scales so chord tones fall on strong beats, sure. But there's no need to think Dorian over a ii chord. Needlessly complicated and it misses the point of learning language.
Maybe it was me shortening 'traditional' to 'trad'?
You can learn all this stuff by ear but you have to take the time to listen and not hear! There is a qualitative difference!
I didnt know Daredevil can rock!
I guess Google's algos are getting smarter. I just posted a rant of sorts on IGTV about there being no such thing as a #5 on a dominant chord. The math just doesn't make sense. Googs then shows me this 2 yr old video.
Mr Miller, you're a far more accomplished musician and educator than I am. If you'd care to explain why you call it this, perhaps I could have the opportunity to change my mind.
The only time I can see it making sense is as a passing tone going up, but definitely not as an extension. A #5 prevents the b5, and you need both in an altered Dom. As an extension, b13 makes more sense.
It's complicated xD
If you're talking chord tones then G7(#5) would indicate that there's no perfect 5th in the chord. If you do have a D in the chord and wanna use Eb as an extension that would indeed be a b13.
If you're talking scale degrees and you're using phrygian dominant as the chord scale you would have a b6 (b13) in that scale as it co-exists with the perfect fifth. Now with the altered scale things get really messy as we're not using it functionally correct. If you look at the chord tones of the 7th mode of the melodic minor scale (superlocrian) you'll find that it actually spells out a minor7b5 chord, not an altered dominant chord. Therefor the theoretically accurate scale degree configuration for superlocrian is 1-b2-b3-b4-b5-b6-b7. Somebody at some point found out that these scale degree's lend themselves nicely to altered dominant chords. But of course nobody says b4 when they talk about a major third. So the whole thing is technically flawed from the start and hence I usually treat the altered scale as 1-b9-#9-3-b5-#5-b7 to make it easier to understand for the student. But you're right, it's technically off but everybody kind of silently agrees with it. Excellent question dude! I'm sure some theory buffs have plenty more insight into this.
@@MartinMillerGuitar Thanks for the clarification! Some may ask why these sorts of discussions are necessary, as theory is just us nerds trying to explain what's happening in practice. But I think that given all the various notation methods in modern music (contrast this with classical music), these discussions may help us settle on conventions.

Any chance you know what looper pedal he used? In the market and trying to find one with the metronome feature.

Thanks. Great job by the way.
Thank you very much!
anyone else think some of the mistakes were connection issues?
interesting
У ученика в каждой ноте рассинхрон.
Great playing dude!
I really enjoy your bending! I would love to do a type of collab with you one day (if you're up for it). Ping me if you would like to do that.
Oh, feel free to check out my improvisations over at my channel if you want.
Liked and subbed! Cannot wait to hear more. You've got an awesome technique!
Use x1,25 in this one thank me later
Aren't you gonna tell him to try and not bend his left wrist that much so he doesn't get nerve damage?
Don‘t worry, I‘m taking good care of my students :)
Wax in wax out
Hey Martin! Ich würde auch gerne Skype-Lessons bei dir nehmen, falls du Kapazitäten hast! Studiere in Hannover JRP und würde mich über zusätzlichen Unterricht sehr freuen, viele Grüße!
Very interesting, way too rehersed for me, but interesting. Seems he is very new at guitar. Also the thing where he getting double notes, I get that when play at high speed alternate picking stuff?
This student is not even close to being ready for this lesson. Its pointless to try to teach somebody about playing changes or voice leading when they struggle with basics like hand syncronization, basic chords, and 8th notes.
martin's twin?
How can I sign up for the lessons?
