Jazz Guitar Improvisation with ONE Note Per Chord. Demonstrated over the Minor Blues

[@Hard2heart2heart]

Every one of your lessons shares unique and practical approaches to the guitar. You are a wonderful teacher and make me excited to learn the guitar!

[@GypsyAndJazz]

I'm delighted to hear that and look forward to hearing about your progress.

[@jega157]

Eye openning method for building skills. Very nice! Thanks 👍

[@GypsyAndJazz]

Glad you liked it!

[@PaintByMonster]

I love many gypsy jazz guitar teachers online. Also, many guitar teachers who are not teaching gypsy jazz. I love your videos best. Thank you.

[@GypsyAndJazz]

Thank you, kindly! (Should I call you "Monster?")

[@stuartarnold4495]

Such a good idea for those of us that feel intimidated when listening and learning to play something that just sounds impossible. Thanks for sharing Yaakov.

[@GypsyAndJazz]

Absolutely, Stuart! This works. I'd love to hear how you use it.

[@rickjensen2717]

Excellent 👍- a beautiful melody trumps flashy sets of fast and complex phrases any time.

[@GypsyAndJazz]

You said it! Exactly!

[@glebzeppelin]

Man, thanks a lot for your wisdom and experience. The showing of solo development structure is grate the same as your advice and the way you explaining things. Simple, easy and beautiful. Happy that found your lesson! I playing, teaching and studying like 20 years and improvisation always is a challenge to make it beautiful and with sense. Thanks for share the way you see the things )

[@GypsyAndJazz]

Great to hear! Play with this and make beautiful music.

[@faiyazhasan4797]

Good job…back to basics…sometimes I forget…thanks

[@GypsyAndJazz]

Happy to help!

[@ducknamedchuck]

"...To find different ways to express the ONE note" 

 I think that's a beautiful and brilliant way to see and approach it. 

It's easier having a clear aim in mind (or ear) to find a way to get there, instead of tensed focussing on a creative way without having a clear aim in mind. If you know where to end, the way there will become naturally more play- and joyful, both as a player and listener.

Thanks much for sharing Yaakov!

[@GypsyAndJazz]

Thank you very much, Chuck! Keep experimenting!

[@geraldkrau2650]

eine sehr gute herangehensweise👍👍👍, ich finde es auch wichtiger langsam bewusst noten zu setzen und takte abzuwarten und darauf aufzubauen.😁

[@GypsyAndJazz]

Good understanding!

[@RodolpheSalomon]

I really need to stress down and get simpler while tryin' to improvise, this is gonna be super helpful, this is exactly where I stand nowadays, thank you so much (once again ;-) )... I'm wondering if this awesome lesson could be extended to other target notes like the third or the seventh of each cords...

[@GypsyAndJazz]

Thanks. Experiment with this over various target notes and see which sounds you really like. Let me know about your discoveries!

[@acoustic-bart]

I remember in one of you videos you say that bach and django were geniuses, but that you weren't Yaakov. These kind of videos show how wrong you are. Your playing is amazing in this video, but the simplicity of this idea is genius. Looking forward to trying it!

[@GypsyAndJazz]

Thank you so much, Bart. Definitely try it. I fish for the ingenious ideas of the geniuses and when I catch them, I share them! Spreading music around!!!

[@raywoods2071]

One note never sounded so good. Merci beaucoup.

[@GypsyAndJazz]

Thank you too!

[@littlepea12]

How do you choose which guide notes to choose for each chord?

[@GypsyAndJazz]

Choose one of the chord tones for each chord and stick with it. First, just go through the process I show here with the notes I chose, then choose your own and try other songs.

[@РусланГусаров-с8т]

Thanks! Exellent! But how do you define this one note per chord, or are these notes of triads?

[@GypsyAndJazz]

They are notes from the triads, yes.

[@Spacefab]

👍👍👍

[@GypsyAndJazz]

:)

[@oldmaterizz4516]

Does anyone knows which note this would translate to if it was major blues?

[@GypsyAndJazz]

This was an explanation of the concept using Django Reinhardt's composition, Minor Blues, since it's familiar to so many guitar players. Of course, you can apply it to any song. Play around with it, Old Mate!

[@tedandersen977]

how do you decide which note (amongst the 3 or 4 or 5 in the chord) to target?

[@GypsyAndJazz]

Use your ear to create a beautiful melody, Ted.

[@aidanmillett5182]

bruh whats wrong with his shoulder

[@GypsyAndJazz]

What was the question?
