How to play a BETTER Solo Over The Chicken

[@Tinseiman]

The Chicken was written by Pee Wee Ellis, but Jaco brought it to a wider audience: en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Chicken_(music)

[@johnnathancordy]

OOH! Thanks for the correction!

[@stevensrp2music985]

I played this song for so long and have a listen to so many different versions. That was absolutely beautiful and very fluid!

[@mikevanleeuwen2858]

Man, what a great player you are . I love it. And what a great lesson too. I already have some great new solo things on my mind . This is some of the best lessons in years for me. I 'm always trying to spice up the blues (things you can do over dominant 7 chords etc) . This lesson is great. Thank you and keep on going with these things. Mike

[@gufra9835]

Hey Mike, let us know about your spices... think all of us are cooking that way! 😉 my spice: Eb melodic minor over D7! I know, nothing new, but always proper way... cheers from A, Guenther

[@JCleggy]

I tried this tune a couple of times without success. Just yesterday I thought I’d commit to figuring it out and now this upload comes along. Thanks!

[@RichardCharles-RCJH]

John, your tone (Sire 335 and HX) on this is just soooo good!!! (And of course your playing is as well )

[@AlexVonCrank]

Splendid lesson. Wonderful playing.

[@TLMuse]

Eye- and ear-opening breakdown. Thanks for this! -Tom

[@mr.garcia9239]

Thank you so much. I gotta go over this tune for my studio class.

[@rafammbass]

This is currently the best guitar channel on youtube. Everything else is basically bullshit. Keep it up man!

[@JackroyLi]

Woo hoo!!! Thanks John!

[@rossbulcock552]

my favorite kind of videos on youtube.

[@MattFicarra]

Great explanation and walk through of the tune!

[@petr8767]

Thank you! For me, this is outta this world kinda lesson. Cheers!

[@gib321]

Great ideas for any instrument. Trying to get to grips with it on the sax.

[@GuitarsOK]

Yessss! Excellent video (as usual)

[@runaround666]

Really channeling your inner Allen Hinds.

[@elpastor7155]

this is my approach to the harmony of this tune: Bb7 to Eb7 (Bb blues to Bb dorian) D7 (D altered scale, functional to G) G7 to C7 (G half-whole diminished scale, contains b9,#9 + chord tones of G7 and 3, 5, b7, b9, 9, b13 of C7)

[@djkolcun]

Great ideas Jon - thanks once again 👍🏻

[@gazicj]

so helpful--thank you much, and godspeed to you and yours:)

[@EdiacaraProg]

Beautiful stuff 🔝

[@ksharpe10]

You had some great instructionals in this time period, so a year 3 months ago. April 2021.

[@twowaymuir]

I worked at a KFC for maybe a month back in 1997. I found out that one of part of the Colonel's secret recipe was marinating all of the chicken in a very strong solution of MSG and some spices. Not healthy stuff. Haven't eaten there since.

[@davidscott1052]

Good to know....I never eat there anyway....but defo not there now 🤢🤢🤢🤢

[@johnnytwo-shoes9798]

This was awesome 👍

[@tromboneJTS]

some very tasty licks!

[@palsundet]

Thank you!

[@tenortones2]

nice approach the D7 chord is always tricky as the tune starts out so much like a blues I expect a I chord there

[@havenlane992]

Please to a break down of the lick on 1:54 ! Thank you for the amazing content

[@johnnathancordy]

I'll try to remember to stick that in the PDF

[@clives555]

And you drop this just before I’m away from any form of guitar for a whole month. Damn you Sir

[@serpensnovus9869]

Cue: video on travel guitars !

[@JoePariseauMusic]

Which patch are you using? Is it in the Pod Go Google drive? 😊🙏

[@johnnathancordy]

Bassman!

[@marcsullivan7987]

Jaco didn’t write it. It’s a cover. The great Pee Wee Ellis wrote it Also, there are some great Maceo Parker versions

[@clives555]

Why wouldn’t this one do well on KZbin? Bursting with info and cool things for us to learn

[@Newnodrogbob]

Well…I don’t know for sure but here are some guesses. The vast majority of people on KZbin are under 20. Guitar channel viewership skews older but still mostly doesn’t care about jazz. Lots of people don’t listen to long videos all the way through, especially when they’re technical in nature.

[@robingattnar6703]

Why thinking of a 2 5 in major when the chord is a dom7? it should be a diminished for that actually?

[@robingattnar6703]

a Minor chord*

[@bozzolanmusic3617]

cool !!!

[@venemataylor]

thought this was gonna be another installment of Bothering Birds, was let down

[@MichaelCrutcher]

This is not a Jaco tune! He did not write it, Pee Wee Ellis did. Originally recorded by James Brown, Pee Wee has covered it, Maceo has, etc.

[@arjenland4374]

John, excuse me, but your voice doesnt sound too well over a phone, maybe some eq?

[@GuitarJawn]

04:22 HAHAHAHAHAHAAHAHAHAHAHAHAH

[@havenlane992]

You are the Keanu Reeves of guitar youtubers!

[@AlexVonCrank]

...are you saying he’s a wooden actor?

[@johnnathancordy]

I think he's saying I'm Canadian?

[@havenlane992]

Lol both wrong, he just has that Keanu vibe
