Happy New Year!

Thanks for the content. One question though, where did you get your gear from. I do know that they are quite desevedly pricy. Also, would you recommend chines made ones? If not why? Peace

It’s really weird how I’ll discover something on my own that i really like, then a few months later, i come across a video like this showing that thing i thought i invented.. it’s happened so much, I’ve lost track of each instance. It feels like i’m living in a simulation sometimes.. and my ideas just become part of it I’m referring here to what Mikko credits Benson with. i never really listened to Benson.. but there’s more related things i worked out that Mikko doesn’t get to here

As always, very informative and creative. Please raise the guitar volume to that of your voice. Thank you!

Wow! Thank you

Great!

It continues to amaze me that triads are so beautiful in themselves. And with every little tweak, they become spectacular. Great lesson!!

Hi Mikko, thanks for sharing! It’s an interesting lesson. I particularly like the 'classical' sound in the last lines from the second book. I think modern musicians often share a certain classical influence, perhaps because they aim to create a sound that stands apart from earlier jazz players. For example, Peter Bernstein often plays lines that remind me of classical music-very different from bebop lines, more concise and essential. That said, bebop itself borrowed a few tricks from classical music, but perhaps today there’s a tendency to avoid the usual enclosures or certain clichés... It’s a long discussion, though-maybe for another lesson! 😄

A very interresting topic very well presented. Thanks.

Thanks!

yees

Great channel

Outstanding! Thanks

Thank you for the lesson. Always intrigued by those books. Line Games & The Cellular approach.

Great content, tnx ❤

Always a worthwhile topic

Bergonzi's warning on page 7 should be heeded. "It should be assumed, from this point on, that D/C means: D triad over C triad. (Ordinarily, that symbol would mean a D triad over a C bass note.) "

Very dark sound from guitar give something more special when i heard this song evo zore.

you sound awesome as usual my friend. I am a big fan of you. By the way how did you manage to kill hmmm from the single coil from that guitar ? your input would be very helpful . Thanks beforehand

Got this book for Christmas and ended up here. This is awesome!!!! Love this stuff. Cheers

impro nuda

Very nice 👍

Eso de "on patreon Only" no lo veo nada bien. Te sigo desde hace años y ahora me haces ésto.😢

Great Teacher ! Many teacher maked harder but jazz lessons with hem is to understand

where do you even start to learn classical when you come from a blues/rock back round?

Walt weiskopf intervallic book is a great companion to this

... or why not songs of Billy Strayhorn?

Beautiful playing, Mikko!

Do "without a song!" Nailing the changes is always a given but to play on the levels of Wes and GB aint no joke.

I love it ❤ Your improvisation is so rich in different scales and theories.

Absolutely wonderful rendition. Do you have his book "Timeless" with sheet music?

Really nice How did you record it I’ve got one of these guitars and didn’t know how to about recording it and put a microphone in front of the amp. Not sure if this is the best way to do it

Happy new year Mikko ! Jerome Kern, Irving Berlin (as previously mentionned), Hoagy Carmichael, Rogers & Hammerstein, Frederick Loewe. Any other you can think of will be great. Thank you for your videos.

Victor Young

He was my great Uncle! I have his cowboy boots. He was very proud that he made it through WW2 in the Jazz band without ever picking up a rifle. He passed away years ago, but I still love him.

Monk

Jerome kern, charlie parker

Gott nytt år, Mikko! 🥳🥳 (Irving Berlin … ??)

"Grammar doesn't matter if you have nothing to say" - that's very quotable. I'm stealing that. Great lesson btw.

Thanks for showing this, probs the best music instructional book I’ve read so far, such an interesting voice - the Socratic dialogue style he writes in is also really inspired

I'm working with the book Melodic Structures by Jerry Bergonzi. What is the Song "Inside the Milky Way" based on? Anybody know? How are you liking your new Ibanez?

Your advice to concentrate on the sound and the chord tones is extremely helpful to me. The scale shape has not been. Great tips - thanks!

Great stuff!

I’ve been going through a lot of KZbin videos on fourths and yours is the most educational and useful one. The solo ideas that you demonstrated are actually really beautiful. You’re actually demonstrating it in a musical context. Thank you for doing this and sharing your experience and knowledge. 🙏🙏🙏

Good lesson well done 👍👍

Bb7 is the back door dominant of C

excellent analysis 🎸🤝🎸

Didn't know Pat LaBarbera was your mentor in college! Had the pleasure of seeing hearing him a couple times. Awesome lesson. It's definitely much easier to internalize this sound like this than the usual way people talk about it.

Nice lesson, thanks. I always think of H-W diminished as a Lydian Dominant, with a split 2 (b2, no natural 2, #2). Maybe not the best approach. That new Ibanez PM is sweet.

… to be used sparingly? 🤔🤔
