How to Play Coltrane Patterns on Guitar

[@movieklump]

An obviously talented guitarist gives away a free lesson and 6 people click the don't like button. WTF!

[@ernestjow9530]

the button exists for that reason.

Very clear lessons and immediately useful. I'm applying them to tenor sax. Thanks, Jamie!

[@jamieholroydguitar]

No problem, glad you found it useful!

[@jacklutz588]

[@arthurxafis]

This is an incredibly useful video, thanks Jamie!

[@stevejosephs8965]

If only I had stuff like this when I was a kid..

[@konosukeadachi371]

Used to play vinyl over and over trying to copy

[@motoputz3201]

no s%*t eh!

[@alexmalkovich6750]

Giant steps! I recognized the pattern trane used in his solo on the record at the start of your little improv section and that's what tipped me off

[@andywoodmusic]

Good stuff!

[@londonemski]

Terrific lesson as always, Jamie. Many thanks.

[@jamieholroydguitar]

No worries, glad you enjoyed it!

[@binface9]

I've seen a ton of videos on the subject but it was only after this one that I truly get it.

[@ryanedwardmusic]

For minor 7 b5. You could play it off the third, giving you b3, 4, b5, b7. In other words, play it like a "minor 7th with the 6th in the bass" as the old beboppers used to call it.

[@anthonydemitre9392]

sound like GS love those maj3rd harmonic movements

Incredible! What guitar are you using? It sounds great! really interesting and helpful lesson man!

[@jamieholroydguitar]

Thanks, glad you find them useful! The guitar is an 80's Yamaha AE-1200, basically an L-5!

[@jamieholroydguitar]

[@Gruess2you]

I love your videos :)

[@jamieholroydguitar]

Thanks Juan!

[@GuillermoRobles]

Is that chord progression the same as the nifty pattern THE FIBONACCI SEQUENCE? The product side. #1 #2 #3 #5, #8 ... Kinda, cause the third was also shown the sound of a diminished 3.

[@pickinstone]

While this is really awesome, could you share some of JC's modal sequence ideas. I feel like Coltrane generated the most excitement over that modal stuff.

[@jamieholroydguitar]

+pickinstone Yeah he is great. A friend of mine, Matt Warnock Guitar, posted an article featuring some modal coltrane licks which is well worth checking out.

[@pickinstone]

+Jamie Holroyd Guitar at jazzguitar.be?

[@jamieholroydguitar]

+pickinstone On his website I believe

[@JackRainfield]

Excellent lesson and teaching style! Somewhere I read that Coltrane relied heavily on the Dorian mode. Is there any truth to that?

[@jamieholroydguitar]

Sure, he used the Dorian mode, though there is much more to his playing than that!

[@mwpv11]

Nice lesson! Keep up the great work. What kind of guitar were you using for this lesson? Just curious

[@jamieholroydguitar]

Thanks! I only got the guitar a month or so ago. It's an early 80's Yamaha AE-1200. Tommy Tedesco used one. It's very much like an L-5, but I didn't have to sell a kidney to buy it ;)

[@mwpv11]

Jamie Holroyd Guitar I hear ya!

[@MichaelCrutcher]

Why not use b9 over G7?

[@jpjdo1212]

you could if you want to.

[@Bobby007D]

Giant Steps.

[@jamieholroydguitar]

Correctamundo!

[@MELLOSMOOTHE2]

Hey there how are you doing . Have a question what type of amplifier are you using with this guitar . And great job on the playing .

[@jamieholroydguitar]

Marcel Davis Sr Thanks - I think I used a mambo wedge 8 for this lesson.

[@edphaze6550]

Great video! Really good ideas to practice. I especially like the "tetra chord" concept. By the way, I couldn't help but notice your accent. You pronounce words like "three" by replacing the "th" with "fr". I hope I'm not being an annoying American but is that part of the cockney accent? I love your video lessons but I was just curious. Keep up the good work bro. I enjoy.

[@jamieholroydguitar]

Thanks for the kind words. It's actually a northern or yorkshire accent which is very different from cockney!

[@maxmoves64]

that comment would be fighting talk in some parts of yorkshire :)

[@jamieholroydguitar]

Hahah, YEP!

[@marcosking8]

hi Jamie, im asking for some advice. I have an Ibanez archtop, it is like the one on this video. I put 0.13 strings on it and it felt very very stiff. Harder to place fingers on frets and bending the strings is not even to consider. Do i have too heavy strings or do i have change something on my guitar? thanks

[@jamieholroydguitar]

+Chuck Norros Hi Chuck, I have gauge 12 strings on this guitar. Heavy strings take a while to get used to but they strengthen your fingers and work well on archtops. I have a few solid bodies around which I string with lighter strings to play blues on. Hope this helps.

[@marcosking8]

Jamie Holroyd Guitar okay, i guess that is how it is supposed to be then. Thank you for your help!

[@bigl1962]

hi could u send me some jazz chord progressions to practice please thanx in advance!!

[@jamieholroydguitar]

Check out major and minor ii-V-I's if you havent already!

[@greenplasticwateringcan]

Appreciate the lesson, but I certainly don't appreciate you flipping me the bird at 1:10.

[@jamieholroydguitar]

Ooops! Sorry about that!

[@jimmiemclovin]

Ben S lmao!

[@mjt11860]

[@edphaze6550]

Sorry! Didn't mean any disrespect. I'm American and I don't know all the regional accents of your country.

[@Chemist1076]

Nice tips. Too much distortion for jazz 😎

[@diev9709]

Didn't know zuck was hiding an accent and played jazz

[@georgewest6687]

Man just play the arpeggios in thirds, or 4th. Way to much analysis. Very good if you are trying to get a music degree.

[@AnthonyADS]

Thank you for this! Excellent lesson 👌🏾
