[@slimyelow]

JB could play these shapes for hours and it would never ever get boring.

You know he is good when he makes it clear and easy to understand.

That picture of the face in the background is the front cover of a great album titled "Elvin Jones is on the mountain" and it features Jan Hammer on Piano and keyboards. It is a MUST-OWN.

Damn.i can't believe how good this information is.solid gold Mr Bergonzi,THANKYOU.

[@percyvolnar8010]

Have you tried reading his books? Mind-blowing stuff.

[@kukumuniu5658]

in context of Jerry's - Melodic structures vol 1 we have 4 notes shapes to exercise with chord but it is somewhere a book with composing exercises ??? How to create a verse, chorus, and transition between them that everything could be consistent? How to create modal compositions in chosen mode? Or how to make ionian verse/intro, ionian # 5 break, ionian b6 chorus or/and, how to create compositions in a chosen genre flamenco verse/intro, jazz break, country chorus and classical outro these are much more interesting issues but I don't know where to look for training materials :( HELP

I REALLY miss Dexter Gordon. Really....., I mean, really.

[@freddylebanon]

Hey Eric ..you still playing an old Chu?

[@philippgrunert8776]

Honestly... I dont get it

[@gungademon1185]

He's playing four note groupings and changing the order of the notes. When he says up up down down, he's talking about maneuvering around the block chord.
