    I love this idea. I picked up my J Mascis Squire Jazzmaster for its bell-like tones, hoping it would help me sound less like a cliche rock guitar player; I was thinking (in fact) "wouldn't it be lovely to make this guitar sound like a horn" (or to approach it as a horn instead of a shred machine or power chord generator). I would love to see more horn--oriented songs covered on guitar!!

    Definitely love the jazz lessons, so please do keep these in your rotation! One of the many truly wonderful features of your channel and your Patreon is the variety of styles you share and teach, and your remarkable ear for things we might often miss, be it an artist we’ve overlooked, a song of a known artist that rarely gets examined, or a way of approaching the instrument that’s uniquely yours. Thank you so much for all you do!

    I've always wanted to learn that classic bebop jazzy line but never took the time to figure it out, and now I can after Billie's Bounce!!!! Thank you so much for the entire video!!!!! Now I can sound beboppy!!! Great practice for syncopated lines and counting rhythms that are unique. I appreciate you!

    Hahaha... can´t believe this video came along a week after struggling with Billie's Bounce. I referenced the George Benson version which goes along a 100 MPH. Totally agree about jazz opening up new avenues that rock/Pop doesn't go down. Thnx for the vid Adrian.

    I'm a big fan of jazz and I've been listening to Bird a lot more recently. I really like your channel - the Charlie Christian vids are superb! I wondered if you would consider a vid on the guitar solos in Charlie Parker tunes eg A Night In Tunisia or Yardbird Suite? I think the guitarist was Arv Garrison.✌️

    Did this tune inspire "The Hucklebuck" by trumpeter Andy Gibson? To me, the main melody sounds almost identical in both songs.

    I don’t think this Jazz lesson would help me. Sure it’s good to hear different melodies, but what is under the melody is important.
    I have been curious about chord substitution in Jazz. How do they determine what is in the substituted chord?

    That isn’t quite right. When it drops to the A, the repeated phrase goes to Bb not A.

    • @acpg
      @acpg  Рік тому +2

      You mean bar 6 of Now's the Time? The note actually stays the same on the 1945 recording which is what I'm referencing - take a listen. I think on subsequent recordings and versions the note does sometimes go up a semitone giving you that #IV diminished sound, so by all means throw it in if you like.
