Josh, these are the BEST videos to make -bebop analysis and teaching how to create lines. This is excellent 👍🏾

[@JoshRzepkaMusic]

Great vid! Loving all this Oscar Peterson content ... what a genius.

[@JoshWalshMusic]

He's truly the GOAT.

[@rgraham9792]

Just think of an ice cream truck playing Oscar Peterson trio instead, probably scare away all but the hippest kids, but seriously I really like what you said about having the line set up the chord that’s coming up next

[@JoshWalshMusic]

That shift in thinking for me made a huge improvement in my playing.

We lean to speak as infants by LISTENING. How is the language of music any different? I am "self-trained," (beginner piano at age 5, had "chord" explained at age 14, and the rest is just playing. But I improvise by singing/thinking lines in my head and just kept plunking till I got the fingers to match the head. And eventually was trusted to play some major jazz venues. If you construct licks, you gain chops. If you CREATE, you're playing JAZZ...

Thank you for providing great video😊

[@kaibau1839]

Great lession, well explained, kinda eye opener to me!

[@JoshWalshMusic]

That’s great!

[@Jolaaled]

Love the new set up, Josh! Quick query: target notes....how do you decide/recognise the target guide tones...is it where phrases end??? TIA

[@JoshWalshMusic]

Basically, or at the key moments of the line. It can be kind of ambiguous at times as analysis, but that’s not a problem if you are writing your own lines. Glad you like the new setup. I’m shooting a lot of new stuff for the course so I really invested in getting it right. Cheers.
