Advance Your Blues Playing Like Robben Ford And Larry Carlton!

[@eichaan]

Just did the Patreon--you are my favorite teacher on KZbin. Thanks for all that you do!

[@JackRuch]

Thank you!

[@thirdlegstalliano]

Jack is a thoroughbred champion of musicianship. Incredibly knowledgeable with such a delicate touch. Simultaneously bluesy and melodic. Absolutely outstanding, Jack. Mind blowing and exquisite. If I weren't so damn tough, Jack's fretwork would make me cry. Unreal.

[@walterbhode]

Your tone and touch…as sweet as honey man. Congratulations!👊🏽

[@meeno_the_man]

You really are a fantastic teacher. And at just the right level of complexity for the depths I’ve arrived at in my guitar journey. Many thanks!

[@shalomshalom735]

what a great lesson. please make more of this "playing through the chord changes" approach, with a few more examples. that will really be helpful. great great video !

[@MOAB-UT]

He does on the TrueFire platform. No free lunches my man. Pay up.

[@Esokyotoo]

Yaaaayyy! A Robben Ford lesson. My guitar hero. Matt Schofield is another amazing player that everybody should check out

[@davidsheriff9274]

How about Criss Cain?

[@Esokyotoo]

@@davidsheriff9274 oh definitely. Jack Pearson is another good example

[@stephenowen5229]

Man! So much information, beautifully played and explained. Always the BEST!!

[@Nnmtes]

Thanks for another great lesson Jack, and I love your tone. It's perfect for jazz / blues.

[@JackRuch]

My pleasure!!

[@RedLion88]

Very cool. It almost sounds like the chords are changing to meet the melody rather than the other way around.

[@dananthony6258]

Dynamics are insane. I love that guitar and tone set just perfect. It really brings out the emotion of the soft glassy smooth then a full punchy dirty grit . He’s such a disciplined player and it shows .

[@LesterMitchell]

Man your playing is just amazing. Love the phrasing and touch! Thanks for the lesson.

[@countvlad8845]

You are a great teacher that simplifies the great players and their ideas into something manageable and quite doable. Very good functional approach and with your own ideas thrown in. I'll be going through your videos filling in the gaps of my guitar knowledge.

[@justinludeman8424]

Awesome lesson and breakdown for developing guitarists. So the altered scale he discussed guys over the altered dominant is called the super locrian mode - or 7th mode of the ascending melodic minor. IE play Bb melodic minor from the A over A7. This yields the b5/#5 and b9/#9 plus the root and b7 or dominant 7. You can also use the phrygian dominant (5th mode harmonic minor) over A7#5b9 for example - so D harmonic minor over A7... Jody Fisher/Alfred publishing has great resources for this thinking. Do work out every scale suggestion he makes - start with basic ii-V-I-VI7 progressions and jazz blues. Like Emi7-A7-Dmaj7-B7 etc. Every scale and their chordal arpeggios (experiment with extensions and starting arpeggios on notes other than the root) in context is exactly what you are hearing on those great records we all love. Use intervals and rise and fall in the contour of your lines too, don't just go up and down. Think about chord tones on the beat and scale or chromatic approach tones off the beat (from above and below) and strive to link the chords together - like stitches in a tapestry. This is GOLD ❤️🙏🏼🥇🏆

This is the channel where you learn to slow down, get cool and add some nice new colors to your chops pallet

[@alanthew6490]

I signed up to Patreon a few days ago having discovered, in you, the sound I want to work towards. Thanks from the UK.

[@tbluesboye]

Great post Jack! Thanks for the share!

[@toploadtele]

5-Stars! ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

[@JackRuch]

Thank you!

[@garygentry3661]

I agree learning so much!

[@toneshop]

Hi Jack, when I first stumbled on one of your videos a few weeks ago, I thought, This looks like a guy that would kick my ass in a bar fight:) Your insight is remarkable, and your content is awesome! Subscribed!

[@goingblindmusic]

Gold mate! Love this lesson.

[@aberhan]

Thanks for this Jack, I know I will get a lot of mileage out of this.

[@robertoveronese1995]

Great Master Jack! I've discovered you and your channel few time ago. I'm watching every day one of your video. Thanks from Italy

[@JackRuch]

Awesome, thank you!

[@frakognome4434]

Hi from Italy as well!

[@tboyz1]

Thanks Jack 👍

[@marvinnorstrom2636]

Thanks Jack!

[@wulfenii64]

Fascinating.

[@nicolosmoffitt]

You’re a gem

[@detrenullermnd9973]

Great stuff😊

[@manhalnaddour125]

Great lessons! Thanks Jack. Is your Triads course available on Patreon or do I have to purchase it separately.

[@TheRealSandleford]

Hi Jack, when you says the thing about the diminished scale moving in m thirds, I immediately thought back to the altered dominant about moving it as well. Will have to think about what notes it will put out..... inspected it and a lot of the same notes but one has a maj 7th another a ninth and the other a 4th but checking the dominant scale as an alternative as well and I see those two could be tricky but could work laying off some of those that are not in there. Would have to put the ear on it more and play and not play some of those notes

[@lornehtaylor]

Just incredible… in under 12 minutes the absolute best, and most concise demonstration of what happens when you step outside the pentatonic on a standard blues progression. Perfect … guru level teaching … 🤯

[@wulfrache]

Thats what she said...

[@bruceanderson5188]

Excellent lesson as always. Just joined your Patreon page. But I can't find the tabs for this lesson. Has it been posted yet? Thanks

[@jopberlin]

Danke!

[@MOAB-UT]

Great tips. Question- when you outline the chords aka triads, are you leaving the main key? How do you know where to find the notes for that chord within say the typical pentatonic patterns? I know all five but hitting on the right note(s) at the right time (change) is hit and miss at best. Will learning CAGED help with this?

[@waynegram8907]

JACK RUCH, Can you explain the theory behind in a YT lesson about when use the HW Diminished scale going from I to IV and use the WH Diminished scale going from IV to I. Its confusing about when to use the HW diminished scale compared to when to use the WH diminished chord. Its the same for the altered scale it can ONLY be used when going from V to I, you can't use the altered scale going from I to V?

[@JackRuch]

Check out these videos I've done that go a bit more into detail about the diminished scales. kzbin.info/www/bejne/nnquYad-rcR6e68 kzbin.info/www/bejne/op6qYYmkqsl8hJI

[@lannynewburn-fs2xh]

I’m new to your channel. How might do I get to your patrion page 5:42

[@jeffbaker8074]

Joined Patreon but can't find this lesson? Am I doing something wrong?

[@ZofoZofo]

Hi Jack- how do I become a patroen?

[@greekplayback]

What is your recording guitar setup ?

[@bradt.3555]

Just think of a solo as singing, notes group to express a feeling. I don't even think about stuff like playing over the changes or playing the changes or this scale or that scale. I just do whatever I'm feeling at the time for a given song. Just know what sound you get when you move up here or down there or whatever and use that to express something like you would with words. When I first started I used to just put on the radio and tried to play notes that followed the vocal melody, and that just developed over the years and years and years etc.

[@slicksalmon6948]

Jack is the king of making things look easy which aren't. I'm a fan, but the ratio of instruction to practice required for implementation is about 1:1000.

[@derekgusoff6768]

It always boils down to practice. There are no shortcuts.

[@MidoGuitarOfficial]

Hi Jack, I don't find the backing track for this one on your patron page? Your last lesson is with B.B. King. Do you plan to create TABs and provide the backing track on your Patron?

[@overdrive112]

I want to learn how to play like blind owl.

[@ey870]

Good but be better if you turned up your guitar

[@Cleveland_Chris]

Advance than a mf

[@dragomirrr1]

Jack i feel blessed to have found you. i hope that i can adapt and learn many things from you. THANK YOU!

[@tommywallberg]

You play so beautiful and soft. I think I could learn to play more or less applying your approach but what is that you make it very beautiful is your timing that’s not easy to copy

[@ifensler]

Hey Jack, great video! I think a cool idea for a video would be showing your ox box settings. The effects and mics you’re using on it.

[@willynilly4651]

I was on your Patreon, but was cutting costs, so i bowed out. This lesson made me jump back on Patreon. Great lesson! An idea for a Patreon lesson, is to break down this lesson, into a micro lesson. Even if it was one lick and show the nuances . I will check out the tabs, with you reinforcing it. That is just one of many that I am lacking. Adding a couple of speed licks to my soloing would help tremendously. Understanding one recipe of bending, sliding, hammering and pull offs will translate to other licks. Thank you! Thank you!

[@satchrules101]

Very nice lesson once again from jack! And very well explained in context.

[@OlafWeitzl]

Great lesson. The teacher I was always looking for. Incredible relaxed competence.

[@donantonio6931]

you always express a very clear, interesting and most of all musical approach on theory-things, and of course you are a spot-on player. gracias.

[@royrensburg3099]

Thanks Jack …you’re just awesome in the way you bring this over 🙏🏼🙏🏼

[@bmcd]

Fantastic lesson Jack, just discovered your channel and it’s 👌. Would love a blues tone lesson - as in how to get a great blues tone from any guitar.

[@Sassari2930]

Excellent lesson as always. Many thsnks.

[@richdunn9799]

Great lesson Jack! Thanks to you I have been listening to a lot more Grant Green and notice he adds a lot of color when he hits the the VI chord in a I-VI-ii-V turnaround section. I'm pretty sure he uses the altered scale but in some future lesson could you elaborate on his treatment of that VI chord? Many thanks!!!

[@JackRuch]

Yes absolutely!

[@adamerickson3944]

Jack Ruch is far and away the best guitar teacher out there.

[@bobbysbackingtracks]

Word.

[@MOAB-UT]

Everyone says that about the teacher they love at the moment. Next month, you will love someone else. Sort of like relationships. Been there done that.

[@michaelcripe5080]

Just joined the Patreon. Great lesson! Is the pdf titled "Advance Your Blues Examples?'

[@stfadhh]

Hey Jack, awesome content you got us as always, keep it up brother

[@marcin-borys-borkowski7851]

Thank you Jack You dont even know how much you helped me break through the ceiling Thank yoy sincerely... Greetings from Poland 💪💪💪

[@wulfrache]

Stop licking your pentatonic, you will go blind like that.

Another direct hit. Boom.

Wow, fantastic lesson Jack. Lovely ideas, thank you🙏

[@hrkoene]

Again!! Thanks!! There’s no teacher who brought me further. Wish we had KZbin and Jack Ruch in the ‘80’s!

[@bobbarcus9415]

Love your stuff Jack. I've learned so much from your videos. Thx !

[@JackRuch]

Glad to hear it!!

[@MatthewWorthing]

Brilliant! I actually prefer the sound of the first pentatonic example rather than the more sophisticated example, not sure why… great teaching !

[@meadish]

We will often gravitate towards what we are most used to hearing, and the pentatonic scales with the blue note are most commonly heard in blues and rock. The sophisticated example uses 'spicier' notes - notes that clash more dramatically. To many ears - including mine to some extent - the notes that contrast the most starkly against the background harmony can even sound wrong. But it is also true that the more you listen to this kind of music, the more your ear and brain will start to get used to the outside notes. So it really can be compared to tastes in food. If all you have eaten up until a certain food is non-spicy, your first spicy meal may be too much. But many of us learn to appreciate tastes over time, that we didn't like when we first encountered them.

[@thirdlegstalliano]

​@@meadishthat was a great response with a beautiful analogy. Are you a writer or something?

[@meadish]

@@thirdlegstalliano Thank you! "Or something" is exactly what I am. Far too disorganized to be a writer, but I did have such aspirations at one point.

[@vincerusso5619]

Your playing style is super smooth and melodic, and your timing is superb!

[@frankmamone6297]

Hi Jack, just joined your Patreon, but can't find this lesson. If it's by date, maybe you haven't posted there yet?

[@jimc6687]

Although admittedly I do like your Mockingbird, JR but it's sweet to see you turning more and more to your trusty Gibson ES 335! Jim C.

[@johnbrown1851]

Dang, I surf northern California but not when it's like that! You're a bunch of chargers. What a workout 😮

[@bmcd]

One of the most interesting and clear guitar teachers on KZbin. I’ll be buying jacks Triads course for sure. Love the deft touch and relaxed playing. It’s artful melodic guitar that’s rare to see.

[@mmorrison7591]

Hi Jack Looking forward to improving like what you do

[@rocketpost1]

Great job Jack, you are really good and definitely have the magic touch. I only discovered you recently and was really impressed by your playing especially your tone.

[@Jay-lr3me]

jack ruch and josh smith are the 2 guitar players that I'm constantly transcribing. too good

[@whoeverofhowevermany]

what's with all these videos where the first thing is half way through the video? i space off until i hear "first thing" every time

[@Retro2502]

Your videoas are amazing thanks so much!

[@dananthony6258]

That’s my favorite guitar. What a killer tone.

[@slimmeddeb5841]

You are one of the best teacher on planet

[@robertpopielaski8154]

Great lesson

[@RobertFairweatherMusic]

Yes. TY.

[@mstathakis]

Jack, that diminished scale that you're using going back from the D7 to A7 (four chord back to one), is SIMILAR to the altered scale used to go from the 1 to the 4. I've used this diminished scale to go from the 1 to the 4. I had never considered using it from the 4 to the 1. If you'd be so kind, can you help me understand that ... are my assumptions incorrect? Thanks

[@markmcmyn8967]

Sometimes I think throwing a "jazz" sound, into a hot blues solo, is like splashing water over a fire.
