      Indeed it is! Keep on listening, introduce some of those ideas into your playing mixed with what you can hear already. Then, little by little, you will begin to hear them….
      Thanks for your comments and support! Keep on keepin’ on and be inspired! 🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽
      Each solo in the playlist sheds light on the other. Especially these solos Bergonzi, Berg, Thomas, Sambeat, and McLaughlin…..
      Look out for more great solos to come😉😉

    What slo down Used? Perfect pitch?

    • @contemporarylatinjazzguitar
      @contemporarylatinjazzguitar  5 місяців тому +3

      I use Transcribe! for difficult passages. However, because Gary’s chromaticism is extremely challenging for the ears, having incredible relative pitch developed over the years is helpful too.

    That solo was not interesting at all to me.

      Thank you for your comment. Your assessment is to be expected. All solos tend to resonate differently with each listener due to our own unique and subjective set of values.
      I too can list many solos that I felt weren’t interesting at all for certain content specific material. However, I do marvel at the genius behind the many processes needed to compose such solos in the moment.
      Thank you for supporting the channel and for giving the solo a listen.
      Be inspired and motivated!!!!

      " IN THE MOMENT" IS NOT IN THE MOMENT ,,IT TAKES PRACTICE,,OF DETAIL WORK,REPETITION OF LINES ..OVER AND OVER..." YOU DONT PLAY SOMETHING THAT YOU HAVE NOT PRACTICE.​@@contemporarylatinjazzguitar

      Yes, all of the solos are a true testament to hard work, diligence, hearing, and many other factors. However, the moment does play a significant role in influencing what one actually plays in the moment. Thank you for your comments and support.
