Sounds amazing. Both the guitar solo and saxophone solo really kept my interest, a testament to the soloist and the rhythm section.

Don’t ever delete this I got acoustic guitar I gotta learn this tune on it. This sounds cold asff tho bro Bill E. is the man and the way you played so are you🔥🔥

It’s relatively simple for a beginner but it can hurt hands

Well Done! I’d like to put in a request for some 9:4/4:9 !!

pendulum wave

very cool!!!

Woo

Like it a lot👍

Sounds terrible

So organic music theory is out of print and currently $4500 on Amazon….

Thank you for posting books I was not aware of. My opinion may be a little controversial here, so I feel the need to explain it. Sorry for the length. I'm a 2000 graduate of GIT and we tend to take a CAGED/modal/3-4 note per string/Paul Gilbert approach to the fretboard (he is one of the school's most famous graduates). Berklee will use alternate methods, such as the "drop" system we didn't use as much. John Petrucci's method of fretboard visualization would apply here due to his being a Berklee grad. Once you have a cohesive fretboard visualization system like this in place and are able to recall it rapidly, it's easier to add jazz onto what you already have. Any of the books by Adam Kadmon will help with the music theory chops, especially "The Guitar Grimoire," especially for the modally inclined. Harmonized chord scales are included. Jazz guitarist Robby Barnby here on YT also has great breakdowns of things like the Barry Harris method and all of the diminished scales. Jens Larsen and QJamTracks are other great resources. Trufire is probably most comprehensive if one wants a pay service and is an experienced player looking to add knowledge. *Theory lessons by piano players, especially gospel players, are also extremely useful to guitarists.* Think of what they do as two guitars (left hand and right hand) and all of the substitutions they do to gospel standards as being deep dives into theory that may be more musical to you than jazz depending upon your tastes. *That said, I have a few criticisms of jazz generally for those unsure of whether to sacrifice the time and effort needed to dip into it* 1) Because jazz is an improvised genre, much of its music will be forgettable unless one is a diehard jazz fan. 2) Because of said forgettability, think of all the elevator music you've ever heard. This is what much of jazz sounds like if you are not a jazz fan. Your improvisational opus on par with Miles Davis and John Coltrane will most likely be the background music to someone else's mundane routine. 3) For the rock and metal player who plays more structured music and wants to play more complicated things, *applying jazz concepts to rock music while not spending time on jazz itself is important.* Most of this can be done by reading theory books while not bothering one's self with the actual improvisation aspect. Rock and metal fans don't come to shows to hear improv jams, but songs. In rock and metal, you're better off spending more time on technique and classical counterpoint, IMO. Vivaldi and Bach are good places to start. For rock and metal, you have to keep your technical chops sharp more than you need to improv well. Improvising often relies on stock licks, especially of the minor pentatonic variety for the rock player, and thus can get you stuck in a rut. If you're going to improv, try to use unique licks. This isn't to say jazz is unimportant. It's that by design jazz being non-diatonic and rock and metal being largely diatonic do not mix well. *Due to distortion, you will end up dropping most of the notes out of the extended dominants jazz teaches you so you can improve chord clarity.* This defeats the purpose of jazz by making its complexity non-applicable. *What rock and metal players can do is suggest these exotic chords through the use of modes and certain notes, even if soloing over just 5ths.* As an example, the whole tone scale as used by Joe Pass can get you out of some rock and metal cliches by "floating around" the key center with passing tones. Jazz fusion is a great middle ground between rock and jazz, but, as much as I admire Frank Gambale, Alan Holdsworth, Weather Report, and other such artists, I have a difficult time remembering any of their music. I would even apply this to the late, great Shawn Lane. Picking their tunes and playing styles for ideas is the important thing. *The most important thing jazz will teach you as a rock/metal player is better songwriting: how to come up with more interesting chord progressions via reharmonizations, substitutions, secondary dominants, etc.* Reharmonization is, in some ways, jazz's form of counterpoint. Instead of moving contrasting melodies around, you are substituting chords, which are themselves just groups of three or more melodies played at once (or even two or more I would argue, since all you really need to suggest a tonality is a root and third or, in jazz, you can even omit the root and let the bass player determine the identity of the chord). Plugins like Scaler can also help you with more advanced theoretical concepts. Think of it as like a musical thesaurus when you need something more interesting than what you already know. *To think like a jazz player, look at any chord. Now move its root. Now see what the chord is from another root. In triads this may just be inversions, but once you get beyond 7th chords things will become very complex. Tension and release will become more important, and chord progression possibilities will really start to open up.* And again, *don't ignore gospel piano players. The way they approach chord progressions is extremely beneficial to players of all genres looking for ways to get out of cliches.*

Sounds very close to Mixolydian b6 to me.

I like the 57 on pretty much all of the clips. It has more detail and to me a sort of mojo; it just sounds like a "record" Listening on Neumann NDH 30 open back headphones through UA interface.

Well done. 👊

After a certain price point the mic doesn't matter half as much as the recording source and pre amp. I have 3 interfaces, 6 multitrack tape recorders ,3 digital recorders and a reel to reel, a sm57 won't sound the same on any one of them. You need to find the best mic for that particular recording device.

Wowwwwwno pdf bro

I've heard some of these modes in Indian (as in from India) music, mainly harmonic major and mixolydian b9 (which is the scale used in the Lethal Lava Land/Shifting Sand Land theme from Super Mario 64. I've also heard Lydian b3/Melodic Minor #4, but only in the New Super Mario Bros Wii/U ghost house theme. I'm sure other composers have used it. But I haven't come across any of them.

Great vid❤ what about walrus🎉?

Both sounded very good with a slight preference for R10 on some sources but the noise level on the acoustic guitar was unacceptable compared to the dead silent and very similar sounding ST170. I think EQ could have made the ST170 sound pretty much identical to the R10.

great feeling melodic lines and chord melody and sound.***

Same here, no looking back!!

Hey man, I just gave you a thumbs up. I realized it's the one thing that I didn't do yet after listening to it so often, whenever time permits. Thanks again. May the spirit of your tune live on, music and arts are a gift.

Very interesting staff! Kept me hooked the whole time. What guitar is that? that top looks beautiful.

Great lesson. Thanks.

amazing feel ! modal chords and mesmerizing ideas ! thank you for sharing dude

Sufjan stevens vibes

I am both disturbed and intrigued

My favorite one What a tune!

at 7:00 when he talks about inverting the major triad why does he say 1-3-6 ? according to the inversions should it not be 1-3-5 , 3-5-1, 5-1-3 ??

It's always lovely, serene. It feels almost original when hearing your version. Thanks man!

Wonderful picking patterns! Great Lesson!

I love your tone NIck

How does this have only 377 views? Underatted.

Learning and developing music skills that are good enough to entertain is a very difficult thing to do. I'm just now getting comfortable after nine years of practicing with this goal in mind. Unlike other paths of study that proclaim you are competent and issue a plaque, performing is the real deal where the rubber meets the road. No bull shit will clean up poor music skills.

This C Harmonic Major Lesson was EXACTLY what I needed! Thanks! Subbed!

This helped me a lot, thanks for sharing!!!

The noise floor was horrible on the Royer...that would make it unusable for me, personally.

Sound Man is a great book.

Wonderful song! 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽

I can't help but to listen to your version over and over again.

Very cosmic and spacy Nick, it's like Ian Carrs Nucleus meets Brainchild, diggit!

holy sheet, your playing is dope. The only point at which I disliked the EV635a was on the FGN Standard bridge position when clean.

Straight to the point. Love that! Thanks :)

Great sound. I enjoy its lofi quality, and yet it is stimulating. It never leaves me bored.

🥁 What an excellent video! Youre right about the polyphony being the intersection! Thank you for the other resources you mention in the description. I thought it was funny that you mentioned punk music in the context of parallel intervals. I find that to be a common example how powerchords would be such a no-no. However, I believe that if you consider them from a functional standpoint they are doing exactly what they should. Rather than working as three unique lines with their own direction, they function as one composite unit with tje strongest harmonic intervals emphasized. Not to be too heady about it but a 'meta-voice' if you will. Similar to Schillingers idea of stacking structures. Just now finding your channel, cant wait to check out the other videos!

Perhaps these are great books for jazz guitar. Some seem quite daunting or unrelated at first face, but the spirit of music is strong here - I will strive and persevere to become better at the guitar. Thank you.

Really beautiful triads

Amazing arrangement, and beautiful performance! 👍👍🎼🎶🎸

Absolutely beautiful. Not just Bach, but also George Van Eps, Ted Greene and Joe Pass. More stuff...puhleeze!

Your feel is amazing, those modulation are out of the norm
