Long lesson here :/ Two different approaches to soloing over There Will Never be Another You. First chord tones and then a more open approach. PDF as usual on my Patreon page / edit

You're my favourite guitar/jazz/music teacher. Thank you for everything. You're a real treasure and we're very lucky to have access to your instruction for free! I like how your focus is always on the MUSIC and not so much on the guitar.. Our job as guitar players is to make the guitar disappear - or, how we get the guitar out of the way from between us and the music. I think Wes said something about being less of a 'guitar player' and more a 'musician who happens to use the guitar..'. That's the way I think too - and it seems like you come from that place also. Anyway, thanks. 👍

I only yesterday stumbled onto your channel, and even that was purely by accident. And I have to say: As both, a teacher and a wanna-be jazz guitarist, this is one of the best jazz guitar educational channels on KZbin. And that's saying something, because I've been through a lot of them. Keep on keeping on, your content is great!

Nice lesson and discussion. I wonder if a comparison with language might be worth thinking about. I believe that the smallest significant unit in language is the phrase. I know there are many ways of breaking a spoken phrase down such as phonetically, syllabically and also to write the phrase using the conventions of written language which will have a hodgepodge of various approaches and conventions competing. Yet not withstanding these and other various analytical tools and conventions the phrase is the basic unit without which there is no real meaning. I usually consider the basic unit in most harmonic music to be the cadence. Generally I like play off of the structure of the cadences as this is what my ear wants to do when I scat sing and when I listen to Django and other players that I admire. Generally they are playing off of the very simple structure of the cadences which are often obfuscated by the seeming complexity of the written changes. I enjoy your playing and having just found your channel I think I will be getting through a lot of your content over the next few weeks. I'm a fellow nylon string player still quite new to jazz, if you're bored you can check out 'Hail Bossa' on my channel where I try to improvise freely with my classical technique on my flamenca to amuse my girlfriend. The guitar is by Perez Valbueana and despite the distortion from her mobile phone I think you can hear what a fine guitar can do in a rich acoustic when played HARD.... even with two year old strings. Cheers from Scotland.

Cool lesson, but as a former trumpet player, you forgot to cover one thing. To really be free with all of that melodic material, you have to be able to sing it (even if your singing voice is horrendous like mine). I find that mechanics of physically playing the notes on the fretboard can lock me in, but if I can hear the notes--my ears guide my fingers to the right spot. Improving musicianship is never a bad thing. Love your playing, by the way.

Brilliant Lesson. this is what its all about. The horn players all do this. Sigh... i gotta start practicing towards this. GAME ON! I think the trick is to develop the ability to play the chord tones from any fret on any string and then u have the ability to improvise with a high degree of musicality and make it sound like Jazz (with large intervals as well). Do u give private lessons? I got the book (jerry braganza??) i guess i gotta start using it!!! Thanks Mikko.

Hi! beautiful and very interesting lesson! Above all when you speak about playing with a modern approach and sound...it would be cool if you could make a lesson similar on Spain, I mean, playing and connecting some interesting outside phrase on the spain progression...By the way, I love the version of "There will never be" present in the album "Solid"! Do you know that version? I think that is't a great example of modern sounding improvisation, even if it's not recent...woody shaw for example closes his solo with an outstanding super outside phrasing on the final turnaround! I tried to transcribe his solo, and it seems he's applying a lot of triads from half-diminished scale, in my opinion, connecting them with a great taste. Also Garrett plays some cool lines, maybe less outside in compare to woody but very nice as well....

I have few tunes which i can solo without "freezing" and this is one of them. Im still not a technical master, but my repertoire has grown a lot and i can talk the jazz language at least in primitive way. Also my ear is lot better when transcribing solos and analysing standards. I wish you well on your journey and remember to have fun!
