what a wonderful way to present material that usually sends me off the rails.

Impressive explanation chops, ila. And thanks for putting a spotlight on Mick. Excellent video. 🎼

Well it's wonderful thank you very much ❤🎉

Beautiful x

Thank u

Glad I found your chnnel and was drawn to the fact that in your channel descrition you mentioned discusionspf music theory philosiophy which for me as a beginner jazz musician really enjoy all things theory. Yes, I'm one of those who actually finds music theory fascinating. I think that even if I did not play music, I would still read all music theory related books I could find. Love the presentation of your topics as well. You have a new subscriber!

I don't know where U come frome but you look beautiful (sorry for this words out of subject)

Studied with Mick a few times at Berklee, he and Ted Greene are huge influences. Cool video!

So happy to subscribe❤😊

Omg why was I about to raise my hand hahaha

Very good video!

I recently composed and recorded a charango suite about how water holds memories, and part of that was exploring what happened if I left the ideas come without worrying about remembering them. The evolution of the ideas was beautiful, and process quite liberating. ... super digging your music and your channel, especially the album ENCANTO, sooooo beautiful!

Yay!!

Awesome idea referring to the triads as constellations, I dig, thanks & cheers!

Nice. Thanks.

Nice idea and great presentation. I record and post little 2 minute Tone Poems on my channel nearly every day. Wishing you the best - John

I'd love to see a super-nerdy video about how to tune the guitar to get the best sound. I'm researching into piano tuning, and finding that everything is a little out of tune,- there is no solution to this. How to deal with this situation is important to guitar players- How you tune from the ground up would be interesting- thanks

Wonderful job, thank you very much

Superb 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻

Absolutely right , get in the creative flow.

Cool Kora in the background! Have you heard of Derek Gripper? He's figured out a way to play some kora music on guitar. :) He's an amazing player. thanks for this lesson.

Sounds fantastic well played 👏 🫶

Great advice! Thank you 🙌

i do that all the time and come up with cool stuff at least to me

beatiful soud ❤

Thanks for carrying the flame of great teachings. :, ) I am tearing up!

This is such a good lesson. Thanks.

Fantastic concepts! I’m really getting a lot from this! I have practiced my scales in 3rds,4ths etc but not chord scales. Will definitely add this to my practice routine.

Ila please never stop posting 🩷 sad I can no longer get access to your Sonora videos. Can you upload them elsewhere? 🥹

I was in Mick’s class in 2001 right when vol. 1 was released. I watched him improvise while looking through some of the examples. It was, otherworldly.

🙋❤

Really nice. Thanks for emphasizing creativity and talking about things that aren't commonly covered on YT.

The voicings always move in a pattern based on the root movement pattern - ie. ascending 2nds through the scale of G would be Root to 2nd(Am) to 1st(Bm) Root(C) 2nd(D) 1st(Em) Root(F#dim) 2nd for the next G. 7 voices for 7 triads. The sequence continues from the G in 2nd resulting in the following: 2nd(G) to 1st(Am) to Root(Bm) 2nd(C) to 1st(D) to root(Em) 2nd(F#dim) to 1st (for G chord). With G in 1st the pattern is 1st(G) Root(Am) 2nd(Bm) 1st(C) Root(D) 2nd(Em) 1st(F#dim) Root for G!!! Once the whole pattern is played 3 times each chord has been played in each voicing. Descending scale : G to F#dim to Em to D to C to Bm to Am to G would be as follows: if G is in Root - then its Root(G) 1st(F#dim) 2nd(Em) Root(D) 1st(C) 2nd(Bm) Root(Am) 1st(G) - 2nd(F#dim) Root(Em) 1st(D) 2nd(C) root(Bm) 1st(Am) 2nd(G) Root(F#dim) 1st(Em) 2nd(D) Root(C) 1st(Bm) 2nd(Am) root(G) each root movement has similar voicing sequences. It seems that up the voices means Root 1st 2nd and down the voices means Root 2nd 1st. It makes sense if you write out the voice leading with letters and in notation ( it will teach one to read music). Ascending/Descending 3rds is nice as is the Ascending/Descending 4ths. In each root movement the changing note is like a suspension resolving to its proper note. There is all kinds of hidden links between the triads. If one takes the time to write it out in notation and in letter form you'll see a whole new world. It will open up your guitar. Then adapt a cool picking rhythm or even finger picking alla classical guitar and you've got the types of sounds that Paco de lucia was using or John McLaughlin and Pat Metheny. Thank you Blooming Muse for the eye opening revelations. Carry on!!!

who fucking cares. life sucks

I totally agree with this 🎸👍🎸

Great explanation of voice leading. His book the advancing guitarist is a very important and great book.

It's hard finding his almanac books these days. I read that near the end of his time in this plane he was working to organize all his works for rerelease. I hope someone is still working to do that - he was absolutely brilliant one of the jazz guitar OGs that gave us so much. Your work on this is great and an inspiration to find these books by any means necessary. Thank you for posting.

Just discovered your channel - great content - what's the guitar?

This is how greatness is born. Excellent presentation. Very creative. Love it ! 💯🎸

Musicians! Do write music for two minutes. Record the two minutes of brainstorming. Wait for a week. Listen back to the recording. Sometimes a Diamond sometimes a Stone! Yes that is a Country Song Title and a good song but you get the point!

This is going to be rather helpful!🎸🎸🎸🎸

Nice content! Great lesson.

Great lesson! Need to study more of that!!! Graetfull for this lesson.

Nice sharing, thanks!

P r o m o s m

Nice clip ...I liked the intro with your description of Mick as an archaeologist, absolutely digging deep into guitar knowledge.

me encantas..eres excelente

me gusta🥰

This is a great tip - I love it! Keep this up, your channel is about to take off!

Good advice! Thanks for sharing!
