Excellent lesson. It's alright learning all the scales , modes and chords but it's knowing how to apply them to a song whilst soloing etc. You have shown the way to do it in a very basic and easy way to follow, something to build on. Thank you.
Nice lesson again Andy. Always enjoy your diversity of ideas on soloing. I’ve been sidetracked from working on my jazz studies lately. Lots of family things including my youngest son getting married and his bombshell news of them moving to Brighton England! I’ll share more via email. 😊
I can only play bass but I struggle to know the chord sequences on which to base my bass. When I listen to music my general hearing and musically ear is not good enough to know when the chords change or what they changed to so I use various internet options including videos for guitarists. When I look at lyrics and chords it is not always obvious when the chord changes. Summertime seems to have so many variations but everything I listen to helps in a general way to broaden my knowledge and experience. I annoyed your video and the final thing to say is thank you for not saying hey you guys 😁
Hi Peter, I completely get what you are saying. It's difficult to know what are the changes to a song, so many possibilities. In terms of working on your ear to hear chords...do you know your arpeggios? I'd also say, chord typically change on beat 1 or 3. You also want to listen for types of chord eg. minor vs major or listen out for chord structures eg 251. I'm sure you already know a lot of this, just a few thoughts...
Great lesson for soloing over a track or with another player. However I also am trying to go it alone by incorporating solo ideas while sketching the song's harmonic structure with occasional chords. Any suggestions on how to go about this would be helpful.
Hi Roger, for me doing this kind of approach it's just important to keep the rhythm going. Your lines need to be strong rhythmically and you need to keep good track of the beat.

I have been asked to solo over this gem. Thanks to your great teaching and ideas I feel inspired.
Hope it goes well 🎸

That sounds exciting Bill! Moving to England. I've not been to Brighton, but I hear it's a fantastic place to live!
Very useful, Thanks!
Thank you Gilles.
Good job teaching a tough subject!
Thank you 🙏

A harmonic minor - is it the same as Am spanish scale or A Phrygian scale?
Hi - it's not the same as those.
Phrygian scale has a b2 and b7.
Re the spanish scale - I think I know that as Phrygian dominant.
How can I turn any jazz song into just 3 arpeggios like that with any jazz song?
I think learning about chords relate to one another can really help with that. Eg a minor 7b5 chord is the same notes as a minor 6 chord
