    I used to work at the bar in the Pizza Express jazz club in London. When Birelli would do week residencies he'd just hang out with the staff in the local late night coffee shops after work. Just like another member of staff. Just a nice down to earth guy.

    when Pat Martino was 14 years old he went to see Wes Montgomery in some club in N York and then he met him at his Hotel and Pat was asking him questions about modes and scales and licks etc and Wes answered hi" i cannot answer your questions just listen what i am playing "
    see sometimes a musician cannot say some improvisations secrets that took years of practice to discover.
    and i respect what Birelli said

    Ce qu'il y a de merveilleux (et de rassurant pour nous autres, pauvres mortels), c'est qu'il n'est pas indispensable de connaître la théorie de ce qui se joue en musique pour qu'elle soit belle. Biréli, immense guitariste, ne sait pas mettre des noms sur ses gammes, ses arpèges, ses accords. Et malgré ça (ou grâce à ça) son émotion, ses intensions ne sont pas filtrées et partent direct du cœur vers le notre ! Merci Monsieur Lagrène

    This is an amazing example of how when someone has a truly gifted mind that was born to do this, everything just naturally flows to him quickly without much thought or hesitation. A highly advanced musicial mind that wasn't trained in school with years of fundamentals and theory is a special gift from God.

    @junulock Рік тому +1

    I think what Bireli has and those like him is something akin to a photographic memory. The only thing is he can hear something just once and pretty much knows exactly where on a guitar fretboard to go and pick it out to duplicate it. You saw him do that twice here. In a very crude fashion most people can listen to a very simple melody line on a song and repeat it by voice. I’d venture as he’s learned chord positions the biggest key I think is first to get an ear trained so for one note; such as C you know the sound of it as a Cmaj, Cmin , C7th, Cdm etc, etc, etc. Once you learn or can hear those flavors it applies to all the rest of the notes. It will also give you scales based off this. The other thing is being able to hear in your head the harmonizing notes and going to a fretboard to pick those out instantly.

    @LivioLamoneamusic 7 років тому +4

    Over D major he was thinking G# (Ab) MAJOR pentatonic....tritone sub...not f minor. Subtle difference, but evident if you consider how easy it is to "see" the b5 on the guitar.

    • @DCMusicSchool
      @DCMusicSchool  7 років тому +4

      no, Fm pentatonic is a common sub for D7 not D major, it's a derivative of the altered scale. Doesn't have much to do with tritone sub, although the tritone sub can be found within the altered scale as well. Last but not least, Fm pentatonic is the same as Ab major pentatonic, so it really doesn't matter what it's called. But Bireli often uses an Fm shape when using this concept

Describing music is not playing music. Django was illiterate, yet he invented a guitar style to this day, guitarists worldwide, aspire to play.
