PETER BERNSTEIN Masterclass: "STELLA BY STARLIGHT - AN IN DEPTH ANALYSYS"

[@pallhe]

Great points and unbelievable comping from the master. The student played a good solo too.

[@intuneorange]

Pete Bernstein is the real deal. My absolute favorite player.

“Every song teaches us about music” ….I got nothing more to add.

10 years now. But still gold

[@an_music926]

8:40 is really pure gold. Sometimes people solo always forget the most point is the melody , and Peter well done on this matter. Thank you for sharing it , it's very usefull

[@jean-lucbersou758]

Worth to be transcribed for a slower approach .Bernstein's sound (what a great name for Music ! ) is excellent and this guitar gets a deep acoustic wooden tone .Berntein's chords chemistry leads into the heart of our musical dreams !

[@djmileski]

Dude, the guitar solo was very tight

[@AdrianWhyte]

I love this, great lesson! After being full circle through theory and arranging dozens of tunes, ultimately you realise it’s ALL about movement, which is what I try and instil into my students minds. But make no mistake, without that theoretical journey it’s hard to feel that same affirmation. Thanks to guys like Peter for helping that process! Cheers from Australia

[@franciszerah9724]

"ultimately you realise it’s ALL about movement" True! You have to move the fingers.

[@JoeyNE]

I JUST HAD A ENORMOUS BREAKTHROUGH AFTER WATCHING THIS. Thanks for posting!

[@daytorrrn]

What did you figure out?

[@TheLorolux]

Wow! Thank you a lot for this!

[@RenatoLotfi]

Thanks for sharing, this is great

[@oneeyedmonster9827]

A great player and teacher.

[@jesseroanrichterfuller7502]

wow, thats gold. good teacher

[@windstorm1000]

wonderful analysis of a classic song--makes me respect of its artful construction even more--and would explain why so many jazz artists are drawn to it. stella's unusual chordal structure brings out a different emotion. a closer mike in this lecture series (and less echo room) would help make mr. Bernstein's lecture more audible.

[@musicalexcursions]

Excellent points! This way, even when you're playing single-note lines the tune and changes really pop out.

[@sohamdey76]

What a video. Wow.

[@MDugardin]

The way you think the harmony depends on the tempo you play the tune, if not too fast, you can play on E-7b5 the Locrian #2 and you can think Altered on A7 b9 for example... that will give you two different sounds instead of just a diminished sound :) a Two Five minor that not resolves on the I chord is a commonplace in jazz :) Mr Bernstein is a beautiful guitar player !

[@pickinstone]

If you can sing melodies in Locrian #2 naturally, then go for it. If not, you have to simplify to the point that you can sing it--that's one of Peter Bernstein's tenants. I'm studying with one of Pete's former students who's made a name for himself already. With my teacher--as well as with Pete--it's all fundamentals, all the time. If you force a scale that you can't connect to by ear yet, it's not gonna flow with the rest of the improvisation. That said, if you can comfortably sing melodies in Locrian #2 away from the instrument--carry on some. Theory can guide you, but you gotta really hear it to use it convincingly. Lastly, think melodies and phrases instead of scales--it's not enough to know the scale. I find that creating lines on the piano helps to craft pre-composed melodies. Don't kill me, I'm a teacher and I can't teach because of COVID.

I Love whats going on here I might have to give the original song a listen.

[@jubnx2781]

Listen to Richard hayman’s version

[@biscutsdad]

Listen to the movie track (There are other enlightening chords. (Victor Young knew what he was doing .)

[@wiraramadhan2227]

Damn ... He's a good teacher

[@Jriver60]

How do I get into that workshop!!

[@pavelmirga3362]

Perfecto ,lesson., thansk many :)

[@handdancin]

i feel like bernstein has an approach to harmony thats alot closer to the way gyspy guitarists play than alot of other straight ahead jazz players. different sound, but i feel like he seems to be thinking about the same kinds of things

[@yohenson]

well lush life and giant steps are hard too :)

[@BernieHolland-w4l]

OK - then how about starting on a chord of Eb (6/9) b5 !

[@kgt877]

One of the most gorgeous guitars ever made, but too dam big for me.

[@japp618]

great

[@ramonrochamusic]

#ILoveYouPeter haha

[@freddylopez7536]

Get a good mic. You a monster. 🎉

[@youknowme...1840]

These students should learn how to clean up before the music.

[@jazzman1954]

Great lesson. Bad sound.

[@Hoblan11]

How horribly is he comping rhythmicly the poor soloist...

[@afxmnstr]

The comping is actually super savage. The soloist is trying to keep up. Bernsteins meter is crazy solid.
