Jim Hall - Jazz Guitar Master Class

Jim Hall - Basics of Improvisation

[@onceuponascale]

The legend. And a masterful teacher too.

[@jamessidney2851]

I love how Jim says he really only transcribed a couple of solos in his life, back when he was a kid. Then he proceeds to play the Charlie Christian solo he transcribed note for note.

[@percyvolnar8010]

Yeah... Thats because when you're REALLY transcribing something you are : A) Listening. B) Playing it on your instrument. and finally C) Writing out what you've just played.

Jim's absolutely top shelf -though he looks ready to do some fly fishing...

That soft easy approach that gives more guitar-hunger!! Just great!! Thanks for this file with two giants!! Peters Övik Sweden

Satoshi Inoue is the name of the "student" according to the subtitles. Pretty clever in his own right.

[@hikesteepfishhigh]

incredible to hear the insight

What a decent human being. Sad that he’s gone and sorely missed.

[@brianpetersen3429]

Wow!... two great musicians at work.

[@nikigba]

where is it possible to find the other parts?

[@HideyukiNakanoMusic]

thank you!

GB10 vs D'Aquisto. I'll take the D'Aquisto everytime, and so would George!

[@Daldie-mx1gn]

@@godzoo18 Interesting. Whatever you play, try the Thomastik strings. Real nice!

[@williambarabanitz3858]

​@@godzoo18 Would a set of Bartolini pickups and correct pots make a difference? Also, would stock pickups with replacement pots possibly enhance tone? Your opinion, please. Thank you.

Is Jim Hall throwing down with chorus - I thought he was chorus.

[@enzo6804]

[@Elemy69]

It's in black and white but looks relatively 'recent' so I'd like to know too

Bit unfair...The "student" is brilliant... He needs lessons?

[@UliGutzeit]

yes

[@MauriatOttolink]

Uli Gutzeit Yes is a nice answer but to what?

[@danjameson1572]

you can tell the difference

[@irishmuso7129]

@@danjameson1572 A Master Class isn't a lesson in the simple sense of the word. It is sometimes a chance for a very accomplished player to be assessed by an expert who may suggest ways to improve even further. It may be more common in the classical field where the discipline and repertoire is more standardized. Jazz guitar, which I prefer, has some way to go in that regard.

[@anthonywright3443]

@@irishmuso7129 Jazz is the standard of all music. It requires you to think, no just repeat something you learned. All music has it beauty. Classical is structure, Jazz is structure and non structure break the rules. Rewrite them, then do it again!!!
