Jazz Fusion Guitar Lesson: Soloing on 1 Chord Vamps!

[@jenjef13]

Subscribed. What an awesome teacher you are. This is exactly the kind of stuff I have been needing to see. And the guitar sounds great too!

[@NickGranville]

jayjay.24 thanks man. Appreciate it. New videos coming soon

[@ranielyfire]

This 100% explains the sound I’ve been hearing in fusion songs that I wanted to learn to play! Especially the part where you play between the different Dorian chord arpeggios

[@NickGranville]

r c cool man, glad it’s useful to you

[@n0015177]

That Ibanez is so smooth!!!!!!!!!!

[@NickGranville]

Thanks man! :)

[@Playboigorti8574]

They're beautiful guitars! I have a similar one, the Talman series are all soooo lovely, it feels a lot more balanced than any Tele or strat I've ever played, even though those have a nice distinctive sound, the Talman seems to be more versatile, at least to me

[@steveburchfield5576]

@@Playboigorti8574 i think the music is more important then just trying to sell off-shore teles

[@DennisK55]

Can I learn so much in one short lesson? Yes, I can! This is my first lesson by Mr. Granville. Thank you for your perfect video lesson!

[@khalilhabib9607]

[@TheGazDooks]

@@NickGranville good stuff. I play funk, soul, rythmn and blues in a function band and I'm trying to figure out some stuff to go over 12 bars and single chord jams to give a bit more 'ooomff'. I'll be working my way through your vids for the next couple weeks. Thanks again

[@florianlober1678]

This lesson is exactly what I was looking for to improve my improvisation and integrating modal theory in a useful context. I bought your album as well, it's great!

Great video Nick, thanks for sharing this. So much to learn from just one video.

[@NickGranville]

Thanks man! More videos coming soon. cheers

[@xaviergough9359]

For a very funk jazz vibe I like to harmonize the major bebop scale. You get a hidden hand of additional chord flavors to add to the good ol' ionian. In minor keys you can vibe in various minor modes.

[@NickGranville]

Thats a great idea for sure. Nice one.

[@proximact695]

Wowww Great! Man !!! Fantástic thanks a lot . Greetings from Barcelona Spain..🤘🏽

[@dawhite115]

This is a revelation for me. I had started to realise I could play arpeggios from the key diatonic chords but not really grasped how far I could take that.

[@NickGranville]

Excellent, glad to hear it. Thanks

Thanks for watching.

[@baronsnobolla6393]

Great lesson Nick. Thank you!!

[@NickGranville]

Thanks! Appreciate the comment

[@mitsostim07]

The arpegios are very helpful to understand the connection between the dorian and the "corresponding" scale.. For example the Em is not actually connected to D dorian, but the E phrygian. But when you play the arpegio of Em (E G B D), is the same as the arpegio of the E phrygian.. And this gives the feeling of playing Em, but your are actually not! Very helpful tips in general, thanks! :)

[@lecocardoso7997]

Polog lo thanks

[@ericlinfoot7419]

This is possibly one of the best things ever. I've been trying to find ways to play that more tense/altered way that sounds really cool. I take it you can use the same arpeggio ideas for major or dominant chord vamps, but how about the substitution and scale stuff? For major,are the major scale or Lydian (and arpeggios in those scales) the only options? Cheers. I look forward to getting stuck into this lesson tomorrow morning.

[@NickGranville]

Eric Linfoot thanks! To answer your question, no major and Lydian arent the only 2 options on major, they’re just the most useable. If you want more colour try Lydian augmented. Also you mentioned subs - I have a lesson from a while back on pentatonic substitutions sounds like it might be useful. Cheers

@@NickGranville would also be lovely if you can teach us how to use this using the popular chord progressions. for example, I have trouble following up the technique used by chick corea on got a match hehehe

[@riccagiaco]

Very well put and great examples man! Just to add on this, Michael Breker (and Mike Stern consequentially) play often a minor third up on vamps, so C min over A min for example. Kurt Rosenwinkel even uses this idea on 2/5/1. Great sounding concept to expand on your amazing lesson

[@NickGranville]

Riccardo Giacomelli thanks man. Yeah, I’ve heard mike do it for sure. Brecker too. Cheers

Great video. I loved the Here it is! marker ;) you develop the explanations in your video just like you develop your solos, from simpler to more complex concepts.

There's obviously so much more to learn beyond the concepts presented in this video, but getting a handle on the ideas presented here would be such a great leap forward for me.

the G7 arpegio sounds great over that backing track.. why would that be ? the power of the dominant

[@NickGranville]

Giancarlo Curti sometimes things are just right. I’ve heard many people say jazz chords must have a 7th or 9th etc. then I heard pat metheny finish a tune with just a triad. It was so right and beautiful. I guess in this case G7 is just the right sound
