Peter Bernstein - comping on rhythm changes

Another experiment made with "my guitar fonts",
/ my-guitar-fonts-450268...
that worked pretty well also in iMovie... sorry for the flickering, I wasn't able to get rid of it :)
I extrapolated this video form the longer streaming that took place on Facebook, in the "Peter Bernstein Study Group" in December 2017.
As usual, I hope that someone will find it useful. In case, leave a message on the "my guitar fonts" support page
ERRATA CORRIGE(1): at 4:04 the chord diagram is shifted, on string 4,3,2 instead of 5,4,3,2. Thank you Colin Manko for signaling the flaw (besides the "Rhytm" in the title...)!
ERRATA CORRIGE(2): at 1:48 the F7alt voicing contains also a Gb on the top string.
Thank you icecreamforcrowhurst for spotting and signaling!

Ten minutes of video for ten years of work, thanks for sharing ! =)

thank You for watching

[@Fishies125]

Wow. This is truly a gift to the art of rhythm changes, as it occurs to guitar. Incredible comping ideas.

[@patrickcollins9091]

best comprehensive vid for chord voice leading

[@G7flat5]

Thanks for taking the time to add the chord diagrams they are great & helpful!!!

[@EnricoDellAquila]

It was more an experiment... a successful one :) Glad you like it

[@G7flat5]

Thanks again!

[@PaulHofreiter]

This is so great and is awesome to see his insight into rhythm changes. Some really killer voice leading and alterations. Thanks for the chord diagrams too - as someone else mentioned a few needed tweaking but luckily they are easy enough to hear which using the diagrams you put as a starting point. Particularly when they are flying by that quickly it is easier to see a diagram than trying to see his hand watching on a small phone and hearing the inner voices going by that quickly

[@DarrenD]

this is pure gold..Thanks for sharing!

You're welcome, glad you like it.

Thank you very much! Peter is so humble and is always interested in sharing his talent. You did a great job!

Wow ! A little late to the party, but what a great lesson. Thank you for putting the chord shapes out there too. +1 sub

[@jayanderson8563]

Nice teaching/theory session....really different type player. Great harmonic ideas!!!

[@sibutler.guitarist]

Great chat, thanks for putting this together. I agree with a previous comment though, all the off camera checking of your screen is a bit distracting and seemed like it was putting Peter off too

[@pedromunoz5527]

Such valuable class. The chord boxes were extremely helpful. Thank you very much!.

[@kylebarnett350]

Peter's one of the best teachers

[@kylebarnett350]

Music Calgary he teaches advanced stuff that is not for most levels of players but that by no means means he is a bad teacher. I have learned countless things from Peter and I feel he is always very clear in his explanations. But if you're not familiar with basic jazz theory/harmony then yeah, it's gonna go over your head.

[@AuthenticatorMonkey]

@Music Calgary Uh what "stage" are we talking about here..? Rhythm changes is not a "stage." This isn't a course on harmony.. He's just showing some interesting ideas for voice-leading on rhythm changes. I'm sorry man but you just need to hit the books. Just because this is over your head at the moment does not mean that Peter Bernstein is a bad teacher. I'm not a super advanced player by any means, but I know my theory. I got a lot of cool ideas from watching this.

[@jlvjazz]

Indeed he is........

[@Minguscomedy]

Thanks for posting this ! the G at 0:42 is more G7#9 (Bb on the 3rd string)

[@ertg3486]

[@colinmanko7002]

Thanks for cataloging this. Just wanted to point out a typo in one of the chord diagrams, because it's my favorite thing he plays. The F7 at 4:04 is E: x B: Ab G: Db D: A A: Eb E: x

[@icecreamforcrowhurst]

Yes and that’s pretty much all of them too. Guitar has pretty limited options in these changes.

[@phpfunkdotcom]

Starting @7:41 I think bass note is D, then followed by Ab7#11 @7:44. Great vid. Thanks for sharing this.

[@BionicTooth]

What is that thin semi-hollowbody, leaning in the background? Looks like a Gibson Country Gentleman or a Buscarino...

[@jordanklemonsjazzguitar]

Sorry for the delayed response G Panos. That's my guitar. It's a Heritage Academy Custom. Wonderful little thinline guitar.

[@pelolindo447]

I wonder what he's talking about

[@rogerball6265]

Familiarize yourself with basic Rhythm Changes i.e. the change to the tune "I Got Rhythm". Example at kzbin.info/www/bejne/q4G1moBrf9uMrpo. This video has example changes kzbin.info/www/bejne/hpKymaWMhLqBeqs

[@chefsize]

Wow, thanks for putting in the work on this one. That said....man, even at 1/2 or even 1/4 speed it’s hard to follow those stabs with the way they disappear off the screen. Has anyone PDF’d this?

[@EnricoDellAquila]

Sorry, I know it can be annoying, but it was my first experiment with the subtitles and iMovie. If you watch the other one I made with Russell Malone, it's easier to follow.

[@chefsize]

Enrico Dell'Aquila No problem... I still appreciate it!

[@williammills5111]

Enrico- Thanks so much for sharing this, so great to hear Pete making clear the connection between brain and fingers. Is there a podcast or website with the rest of the workshop/interview that we could check out? Grazie! Bill

[@jordanklemonsjazzguitar]

Hey William. This was from an online masterclass that I hosted with Pete. Part interview, part taking questions from others, part him playing examples. The whole thing was I think about 1.5-2 hours?? It was done on facebook live through the Peter Bernstein Study Group (it's an unofficial facebook group not run by Pete... just lots of fans of his playing). They asked Peter if he would be willing to do something using facebook live through the site, so I offered to help. You can find the entire video there in the facebook group. It's a closed group, so you'll have to join to watch it all. A ton of very amazing info. And we did a 2nd one since then.

[@jordanklemonsjazzguitar]

Hey look Ma, I'm on TV! hahaha

[@EnricoDellAquila]

I posted the link in the group at that time... I always hope to have time to make a better looking version, but never happened... :)

[@icecreamforcrowhurst]

Where’s the 1/2 speed option? I thought KZbin used to have this? That would be a fantastic upgrade to have on all videos

[@EnricoDellAquila]

It should be a setting in the YT video player...

[@icecreamforcrowhurst]

After some research I updated the app and that fixed it. Excellent feature! Thank you

Is he playing on Blues Junior here?

[@EnricoDellAquila]

Don't know... You should ask Jordan Klemons, that hosted the event...

[@jordanklemonsjazzguitar]

He was playing through my Fender Blues Deluxe... which I upgraded with an Eminence Cannabis Rex speaker and Tung Sol tubes.

[@ChristopherDowning]

Ooh a new font? "I use Neck Diagrams" Might be worth a check ou - I've used them for teaching materials for 15 years or so. Easy to use www.neckdiagrams.com/ Does the "My Guitar Font" specifically work on KZbin?

[@EnricoDellAquila]

It's a installable font usable in any text editor that uses fonts, in Windows, OSX, Linux.... The main idea is not using a dedicated program to generate the diagrams, but inserting them as "text" in the main program. I tried iMovie title editor and found that it accepts the font and permits using as I did... The font is a bit (just a little) tricky to use, there are a couple of concepts to understand how it works, but then it's quite easy to use... basically it remaps the regular keyboard chars with fretboard symbols... file and a brief PDF are here: enricodellaquila.blogspot.it/p/my-fonts-page-for-guitar.html and if needed, I give support on the facebook page facebook.com/My-Guitar-Fonts-450268108496016/

[@ChristopherDowning]

Enrico Dell'Aquila - Got it - thanks for that - very useful

[@AuthenticatorMonkey]

Thanks for this but a lot of the diagrams are wrong.. Few examples 4:04 dominant chord is wrong. 3:55 missing Bb on top. 3:58 Eb is on the bottom not Bb. Still really cool though.

[@EnricoDellAquila]

I think you're right... thank you checking and spotting the errors. It was just more a rendering experiment, and I didn't double check the shapes (my bad)

[@AuthenticatorMonkey]

It's ok. I still really like the video. Most of it is right! Thanks!

[@romdanish]

Great stuff, as always when coming from Pete. And thanks for the good work Enrico. Could you please tell me the function of the chord at @0:40 ? Is it the V of III (D dominant)?

[@EnricoDellAquila]

I think it's just a F7alt, altered V of Bb... look at the III7-VI7-II7-V7 progression immediately after that point.

[@keithperry1899]

any idea what kind of strings he uses?

[@EnricoDellAquila]

sorry, no idea

[@jordanklemonsjazzguitar]

He uses John Pearse strings... the gauges are a mismatch from different sets I think... but quite heavy.

[@nathanpflughoeft1126]

I heard he uses .14s

El Taco Taco The basis of traditional jazz harmony is formule and vocabulary built of the formule

[@Ayo.Ajisafe]

@@vhollund Trying to understand. Breaks i vi ii v down to I V. He is at first using just a minor 7 voicing. Is he moving this voicing melodically to imply changes? I didn't quite understand.

[@yusefandersen]

I think genieus like Bernstein thrive on confusion from which they will make order...

[@rogerball6265]

Take a breath Peter. A stroke is in your future I fear

[@alexrami4234]

1:45 is fukin breaking my head... everybody is allright with the trans?

[@anarossilence2878]

i m all right with the trans, i understand thas he is using a back door dominant and then turnaround back to the I

[@anarossilence2878]

before that he went to the iv and he did whaat i wrote before just to get back to I, you can also use diminished to get back to tonic
