Great lesson, a masterly reverse-engineering of certain bebop techniques. i didn't know that you could throw a bunch of notes around just for the heck of it. What fun!!!! My inspiration Jimi Hendrix knew all of this.

Jens, as always, your "timing" and "phrasing" are impeccable--that is, your timely delivery of the topic and the way you present it! Yes, you've covered this topic (in one way or another) many times before, but--thankfully--you're wise enough to know that there are those of us so dense that presenting the information in a yet another context might lead to our finally "getting it." This gem validated my progress (thanks, in no small part, to you) and presented new challenges. Thank you for your generous and prolific contributions to my musicianship.

Jens, this is great video that covers a topic that doesn't get enough visibility, so thank you for putting this together. For beginner jazz guitarists like myself, while I want to consume as much vocab as I can and then get it into my playing, it's important to see the big picture as well and ensure that the vocabulary comes out in a way that suits the overall story and connects well. Great stuff!

Had to laugh when I heard the part about ending phrases with the 2 note bebop tag - I just finished my first pass through Jens’ Modern Concepts for Jazz Guitar book. It’s a fantastic book, but in each of his ii-V-I exercises O rewrote the endings to replace a long note with the bebop tag. Cheers!
@icarusi15 сағат бұрын
Jazz tunes are often based on an actual song, so the length of an end note relates to a lyric, not an arbitrary choice. For a solo you can follow the lyric rhythm, or not, but the variety of short note phrase endings should relate the the lyric, unless you deliberately want to mess with the style as a statement? If the tune has no lyric, the style will probably imply a lyric, so better to consider that. Lyrics have often been written after a tune is already established, such as Jaenine and Laura, so consider them also.

I think the last line of the video was the most important "learn jazz, make music". My first thought was you can't do both.then I thought back over 2 decades ago learning blues, rock and metal licks. I was frustrated for a long time that what I was playing didn't sound like real music, my soloing attempts always sounded terrible. Then one day something clicked into place. I don't know what changed but I suddenly sounded competent. Learning music isn't enough to be able to make music. You've got to learn, practice, make a lot of mistakes and learn some more. And if you're lucky something might click for you.

Regarding these #3, #4, #5 patterns that you show at the end of the video, is there any of your videos explaining them as a building block to create lines? I know that there is the "patterns for jazz" book that presents some of these standard movements but this book is too dense for me 😅

No, I never made videos on those specific patterns but I did do a lot on Bebop and that way of thinking about vocabulary.

My only problem with jazz is the stupid drop chords and inversions, way too much crap to memorize, and chords with muted strings in the middle are super annoying unless its 3rd diads and i'm playing baroque influenced stuff. I've tried learning some Allan Holdsworth chords and phrases, he's the extent of the jazz I'll listen to, ironically I cant stand horns despite Allan's love of them and wanting to play one, so I dont really listen to "real jazz" I just like really colourful lead and good legato.
