      Note choice is huge in jazz though.. for example, have a jazz guitarist play lines over a dominant chord by just playing mixolydian with excellent phrasing. It’s definitely great but it’s not the next level. The moment a player introduces upper extensions like the b9 or #11 juxtaposed with great phrasing built off of that mixolydian foundation, that’s when you have truly complex feelings flooding your mind like a psychedelic. Note choice isn’t everything, but why ignore that layer of emotional complexity?

Playing notes just because you CAN might be cool to some nerds, but hardly anyone appreciates jazz because of those type of players. When in reality jazz is an awesome genre but it gets misunderstood.

    😂if you want to sound like a Jazz player choose ten tunes. For example,
    Take The A Train
    All Of Me
    Freddie Freeloader
    Fly Me To The Moon
    It Could Happen To You
    Green Dolphin Street
    Blue Skies
    Song For My Father
    Mercy Mercy Mercy
    The Shadow Of Your Smile
    Now listen to each of these tunes over and over again. Now you know what these tunes sound like. Get the charts
    Which is the basic melody and chord changes. Now play these melodies and learn the chord changes.
    Ta Dah ! You are at the beginning of learning to play Jazz ! Enjoy!

    I think it has more to do with shaking your head around and making a goofy face. Also lean towards your guitar cupping your ear like you are trying to hear it. Never the amp. Don’t acknowledge any the amp or any electronic devices. Talk about triads and dominant major 7th chords. No matter what you are playing just add in more chromatic notes to take up time. Make your solo 10 times longer than necessaety.

    • @someguy5261

      No matter what you are playing just play """"Musica ficta"""", add in 'passing notes' to take up time, if you can't think of a melody just use appoggiatura and echappee. Make it all about the authentic cadence and if you play the wrong note just call it suspension or anticipation.
