This is really great stuff and very interesting playing, thank you very much!

I was not able to find this arrangement on Jason’s website, did you purchase this elsewhere?

Does the book come with the CD examples?

Very interesting. Quick question (as a piano player): doesn’t this concept clearly assemble the Ellington principle? Like everything „off“ the main triad in the melody can be harmonized with a dim7 chord? Looks familiar to me. Since the dim7 never changes in all four scales. Only the root triad plus its 6th is different, depending on major, minor, dominant or half diminished.

Come to the UK please 😎

GMC is a wonderful idea ... but in addition to the book, your explanation is indispensable

I am familiar with this because if Sinatra.

Really liked the treatment of various reharms, and loved the comment 'this makes you play completely different'... wish i could say the same 😂

2:14 of course theres also a root inversion G major possible from that group of 6 notes, 4:05 Worth noting that anything built on a 2nd and a 4th is an inversion of a Diatonic Quartal triad. "do both' is great advice. Yeah, Stella is a poor choice, too complex. Autumn leaves? Your modal choice also cool. thanks for an insightful review!

Thoughtful and sensitive performance. 🙏

No it's not.

Great video and material Mikko. This is the kind of path that I usually suggest to my students. And the fact that you have to learn everything to forget it… has been said many times, but it’s really that.

This is not a warmup book, but why not. Joseph Viola technique of the saxophone vol. 2 (chord studies) is a book about chords, arpegios and appogiatures with some etudes / examples in all keys.

I would like to purchase the pdf of this lesson. Can you tell me how?

Are you looking at music or did you memorize it? Very nice!

nod our heads to bebop heads it's time to give head to some bebop heads who is the head of bebop heads depr? i demand to speak with them.

Love all of them . Thanks .

Thanks Mikko, very insightful and informative.

Never heard of that Oliver Nelson album. I’ll have to check it out

If you get them right from Frank he'll even sign them for you

I made a video on my Channel about my desert island books and these two books are definitely in my library and have been using them for years they're amazing

Please consider reviewing Dave Mooney’s books, Personalizing Jazz Vocabulary and Into The Labyrinth. Dave is a jazz professor with North Texas University jazz guitar program.

From studying his teaching, I know that Ted always stressed the importance of *making music*, even (or especially) while practicing. This is a great example of making a potentially sterile exercise come to life musically.

Another great lesson Mikko!

Mikka - following this morning's session, I've spent the afternoon listening to Oliver Nelson's - The Blues and the Abstract Truth (1961). On track 2 - Hoe Down, my ears pricked up during Oliver Nelson's solo at 3:03 (kzbin.info/www/bejne/q6GpXpmXjNWDfbc). He plays a theme that I recognised as the main melody of Bullet Train written by Ernie Watts and Lee Ritenour from Ritenour's album Friendship 2 (1979) - (kzbin.info/www/bejne/l3q0Z5Z_gsSFe6s). A good example of taking a bebop phrase and creating a melodic theme.

No.

great stuff. that oliver nelson lick is fun to play around with on rhythm changes or just any turnaround - dexter gordon quotes it here at 22:30 kzbin.info/www/bejne/e3O0ZKKbnbZ9g68

Fantastic video once again 👌

Love this material tho I’m only currently playing a non cutaway classical nylon string guitar medium string. Maybe I’ll unearth my Charlie Christian Gibson cutaway from storage. It’s over 30 or 40 years old!

A part of of that sounds like one of the heads off grant greens idol moments album 5:33

I’m wondering if there is one single book you’ve gone through completely? I tend to have a hard time staying grounded in just one and I tend to stick with one book for a few months then go to another. Although for the past 7 months I’ve been just in Ted Greene’s Single Note Soloing Vol 1. If there was just one book you had to recommend to go through in its entirety which one would that be?

Thanks👍

Superb playing Mikko

Thank you friend

Superb as always Mikko

Hey Mikko. Great video. Check out Adam Rudolph ‘Pure Rhythm’ & Peter Erskine ‘Time Awareness for all musicians’. On my shelf and I should use them more.

Man this is good stuff thanks!

You're a man after my own heart. I own thousands of guitar instruction books, and I don't include my classical guitar sheet music in that statement. I love guitar books. I have "Classical Country" by Jimmy Wyble, and it's the only copy I have ever seen. Charlie Byrd's "Melodic Guitar Method." You'll have a hard time tracking down that one. The reason your video touched me is because I just moved out of state from California and I'm reorganizing my office. Keep up the good work, and keep reviewing those books!

Would like to see your take on the Art of Canon book. Got this when I was looking into counter point and struggling with Jimmy Wyble and Bach inventions.

I've a copy of the Ralph Towner's book. If you want I can send it to you.

Re: books by Randy Vincent, " The Guitarist's Introduction to Jazz" is excellent. Starts with Shell voicings & building upon that. Rhythm playing & comping before focusing on single line work. Talks about learning blues & bop heads as a start to soloing. I like your stuff also on that! Covers fingerings, movable patterns. Efficient playing. Good stuff, wish I found this book early on. Also got so much from Gary Campbell " Expansions". All the Barry Harris stuff has change my approach. Really compliments whatcI already know, but I think his criticism of standard approach to jazz Education is valid. Thanks forcall your excellent work.

Excellent stuff man !

Superb Once Again.👌

23:20 I agree completely.. Very refreshing to hear this. In the course of watching the YT music teaching thing grow over decades, I’ve been annoyed by spoon fed and gimmicky/marketing styles.. it has ruined the essential and joyful discovery process for many younger aspiring musicians who’ve never known a world without the internet. Quality over quantity all the way

At 7:50 F6 is functioning as a ii-7 after that dim7, which will help those not familiar with BH to anticipate hearing this approach with against Berklee style educated students…for those looking for more applications of this sound, these ‘movements’ are all over Jobim’s compositions. Brazilian music is a mother-load of artful movement.

great help thx bro.
