Very nice presentation, Jack! Well done👍😁

I learned more in transcribing that first little solo than in a long while. Thanks, Jack. You really are an inspiration.

[@tomasanibal]

very cool stuff, thanks

[@doyleallen3762]

Nice lesson. thx!

[@NicolasFernandezSaralegui]

Brillante!, gracias!!

[@NathanN527]

Love thinking of that as playing the notes of F augmented (or the five of B flat). And you can play darn near anything over the 4 chord. Cool sounds. Tha nks!

[@ramilak]

Wow. You explain the jazz concepts better than many of the jazz channels I watch. This overlaps perfectly with the analysis I was trying to do of Grant Green's Cool Blues solo

[@twitcheyspleen]

Sweet lesson. Thank you. I had been looking for ways to express this sound oh the IV chord by playing lines using hole tone arpeggio and minor pentatonic. You have elegantly clarified how to get to what my ear wants to hear. Thank you

[@MrJazzedBlues]

Jack you're playing is so good. Thanks for sharing :)

[@ChrisCollinsGuitar]

Whoa! You’ve got some damn tasty lines and feel. Subscribed!

[@GuitarVacation]

Great lesson, your way of explaining things really made the concept easy to understand. So many of us Neanderthal guitar players started with pentatonics and blues, that relating a more advanced concept to I-IV-V blues as a “home base” makes the info stick a little better. Great Stuff

[@jgr5124]

Being in my 70’s now I grew up with the music you mentioned in this video, which in those days we typically called “modern jazz”, but today it seems it’s more often called “hard bop”. So I’m happy to see that young musicians like yourself are interested in this music and advocating for it. Thanks for keeping the faith!

[@JackRuch]

Thank you!

[@MrGiomagala]

thank you bro

[@d.a.t.4699]

Thanks man, I really appreciate you thx for helping us...have a nice day mang!

[@guitarfriendtim]

Love that momentary tension - min-maj chords are mind melty🫠

[@PedroSilvaMusic]

Great job 🤟🤠🤟

[@paulpsathas9152]

you are the man ....

[@nickgjenkins]

Oh, that's nice.

[@dirtybird850]

Extra spicy 🌶️

[@TT-kw5nj]

Grant Green please 🙏🙏

[@jimmyc5498]

Nice job on a great topic. I’ve heard dobro players using Lydian Dominant on the one 7 Chord in bluegrass tunes, then use it on the IV7 chord. I believe it was Josh Swift, bending it in. I stole that one asap. Thanks for cool post

[@barfboy2000]

one quesiton: what is the difference between a secondary dominant and a non-functioning dominant? It seems like in basic jazz theory they play dominant chords until the cows come home, and then you know when the cycle is up when they play a maj7 to tag the end. I'm working on getting a small bag of chords together so I can focus on rhythm & fills without sounding boring palette wise. Its no wonder there are so many systems & ways of thinking. You don't always (or ever) want a banana split with peach ice cream, shaved chocolate, sliced mango & toasted garlic. The way some people play, as is sometimes my tendency, is to throw down the kitchen sink every time. It feels like a sign of not having a point of view.

[@fcjwmusician]

What song is this Hank Mobley solo from?

[@dannywoody5497]

What model fender is this telecaster have you done? Any changes to it? Great playing and always greatly appreciated.

[@user-vj9dk8le7o]

Ñice jack

[@stephenowen5229]

👍

[@stevenmccarthy112]

All that theory scaring me big time.

[@m.vonhollen6673]

Without theory you cannot come to an understanding of music. You don’t need to become a wicked sight-reader, just take an interest in how rhythm, melody and harmony works. It will improve you as a player.

[@dennymikeyoutube]

What’s the Hank Mobley tune?

[@JackRuch]

Dig Dis

[@dennymikeyoutube]

Haha, KZbin asks if I want to translate that title to English! 😂 I’ll give it a listen or 2, thank you!

[@Jamie-js3qw]

Thank you, just one question: the 4 chord is not a minor, it's E7 right? So why does the harmonic minor fit over it? And why is the arpeggio different from the scale? This could be clearer. I'm not a beginner. But very interesting stuff. I mean Lydian is the 4th mode after Phyrigian so 4th mode of the harmonic minor is Lydian dominant. And you can play minor scales over major chords. Am I getting warm?

[@greenvelvet]

Yeah it definitely took a while for me to wrap my head around these concepts. I think music, to overgeneralize, fits into two categories: Tonal music (functional harmony, diatonic chords and scales), And the second one being Modal music. (Coloring outside chords with different modal choices) Like in 12bar blues, the One, the Four and the Five chord can be played as Dominant chords, and you can color those chords in a variety of ways, playing a for instance a mixolydian scale respective to each one of those chords, or playing the minor pentatonic of each one of those chords, different scales different pentatonic scales. So when you stop thinking of it as tonal diatonic music and start thinking it thinking of it as modal music, you can start to wrap your head around it. A Eb7 chord, is a chord that comes out of Bb melodic minor. So you're using a a chord out of a parallel harmony. Which is sort of the beauty of modal music it's these tonal shifts of color that you can hear as they go in and out of tonal areas.

[@greenvelvet]

I discovered a video that really made it easy for me to understand by a guitar channel called 'Adam Loves guitar'. And the title of the video is called 'discover game-changing chord progressions for guitarists', and it shows you how to use the lydian dominant mode, and why it works over a IV dominant chord

[@douglasmelvin9868]

Melodic minor, not harmonic minor. Lydian dominant scale is just like a regular Lydian scale but with a flat seventh.

[@JackRuch]

The 4 chord is E flat 7. We’re playing E flat Lydian dominant over that chord. Eb, F, G, A, Bb, C, Db. Mess around with it and see if you like the sound of it. Don’t get bogged down in the other theory if it’s confusing.

[@AdaptivePhenix]

Isn't this what we call jazz?

[@i_live_pain8420]

Ever hear of a song called "Everyday Blues" by a cat named RafaJams? 😉

[@michaelcooper2799]

This a great video! I am just trying to get my head around the melodic minor and this helped heeeeaps. But brah, you need a chicken soup, lemon honey tea and a day in bed. You look and sound sick as fuck.
