[@oceancrosby4578]

Love your ideas. However, yep, another "however", you over explain "we" get it, please just play more. I'm excited by this lesson's content. Thank You.

[@Jamsville]

This is one of the best videos you’ve made, Jared! These ideas are so important for creating continuity in your solos, and making them sound like they may have even been pre-composed! More than anything I like how it starts to shift your MIND away from thinking along the lines of “what note do I play next? What’s the right note?” and other paralyzing ways of thinking.

[@soundguitar]

Thanks, Adam! That means a lot! Glad you agree on how great this is to practice :) ~~ Jared

[@grahamsmith1978]

Agreed

[@williamvaz2651]

This is one of the best lessons I have ever seen with regards to improvisation. Thank you so much

[@soundguitar]

Glad to hear it! That means a lot. Thanks, William! :) ~~ Jared

[@wagonet]

game changing. i watched this video, and the phrasing idea has immediately made a difference in how i sound. i'm not just mindlessly playing random notes in a scale.. what a great explanation and video. cheers.

[@soundguitar]

Thank you so much!! 🙏

[@hedzmo]

Im a 61yr old beginner. Stumbled across this channel, wow, thank you

[@wagonet]

holy friggin cow, this video is honestly game changer and i'm only 3 minutes in. my soloing is just random.. this blueprint idea really makes so much sense. i haven't seen this anywhere else. thank you for this video. subscribed~!!!

[@checkerbloommusic]

I think an underrated aspect of this technique is that is puts parameters on your improvisation. It take a lot guessing work out of your decision of "oh what will i play here" and gives you either a rhythm pattern to follow or notes to follow.

[@TheFoolInTheWall]

I've never heard of that AAAB idea before but I've been doing it naturally forever. That's really good to know thank you.

[@multiversedm]

This is one of the best lessons on youtube for guitar.

[@ElementoShaman]

This lesson. Un-blocked me after YEARS... Thank you! You are an amazing guitar teacher. Not just anyone can deliver like this! 🎉

[@stuartarnold4495]

I got back to this video after watching the tip video about phrasing. The proverbial light bulb moment happened, I really am feeling good about it. Thanks Jared.

[@Gerguzalbutzelnikoskech]

Some of the best guitar lessons I've ever had are yours, and this one of them. Just what I needed. Forever grateful for that. You're the best.

[@davidr2975]

What a great looking and sounding guitar you have.

[@alfredbellanti3755]

Thanks!

[@soundguitar]

Thanks so much, Alfred! 🙏 :)

[@davedidal7353]

Wow. Thank you so much! I'm binging your videos with excitement because I know they will greatly improve my playing.

[@soundguitar]

That's awesome, Dave! Glad you like them! :) Thanks

[@TomKaszuba]

The best lesson on phrasing I have ever seen.

[@gopilotmusic]

Fantastic lessons! Always seeking "guitar freedom" .. oodles here! Thank you!

[@alfredbellanti3755]

Following this lesson I feel an exponential leap in my guitar playing. Been trying to get a jazz sound for years but this lesson has given me the sound that really resonates in me. Thank you so much!

[@ryanfox6260]

This was likely the best lesson I've ever watched and it improved my playing more than any other skill I've practiced. Thank you!

[@7ktraxbeats118]

Thanks bro came in clutch for melodies for my beats this concept is applicable everywhere

[@soundguitar]

Nice!! That’s great to hear :)

[@gatoryak7332]

This is the first video I've seen on this channel. The first exercise, A A' A B, opened the door into a whole new world for me. So fun that I haven't viewed past it yet. It will give me a lifetime of pleasure. Thank you, Jared!

[@miketang7533]

Great 🎶🎸 lesson. 👍🙏

[@miketsai4288]

Great, that's what I want to learn most about improvisation!Thank you very much!!

[@TheMitchellHarris]

Super stuff Jarod, your lessons really help break down a clear method to learn highly desirable skills. Love your channel

[@soundguitar]

Thanks so much, Mitch! :) ~~ Jared

[@Birkguitars]

100% agree that phrasing is the most important element. I have been digging in to the first solo from Comfortably Numb trying to capture the feel of DG's playing and although it is several levels up from the ideas in this video the core is still there. Two simple ideas evolve around the G chord with some repetition and variation. The idea then runs over the A chord and there are some subtle rhythmic tricks to create a more interesting interplay with the other instruments. DG drags notes off the main beats so familiar notes are played in an unfamiliar way. I have seen hundreds of videos on scales and modes and arpeggios etc etc but this video should be on every guitarist must watch list.

[@TheMightyKingzuru]

This is gold especially when you trying to get into songwriting and composition. Big up!

[@sulayman44]

You are truly a gifted teacher. Thank you for this. You have opened the fretboard for me after 2o years. :D

[@soundguitar]

Glad to hear that, Ely! Thanks for watching :) -Jared

[@QBRX]

Wow, this is so great. I've been stuck on scales, but this phrasing idea is making music. I'll never proctise scales in the same way again. Thank you!

[@soundguitar]

Glad to hear that! Thanks for the comment :) ~~ Jared

[@johnmacmillan627]

Thx. At my level this is very helpful

[@richardfacey8383]

This truly is a game changing idea and well structured lesson. Thanks so much 🙂

[@alexladd6861]

Excellent, so simple but very powerful.

[@paulandgillconnor2143]

Great lesson Jared - I always look forward to these weekly sessions - sets me up for a week of practicing these ideas

[@soundguitar]

Great to hear that, thanks!! :)

[@jazzguitarneophyte-christo7988]

these are amazing tips! It is a well thought out process that will make oen sound more interesting and helps one to tell the story in their solo instead of just playing random notes along the way. Thanks a million Jared!

[@soundguitar]

Thanks, Christopher!! Glad you found it helpful :) ~~ Jared

[@simonyin9229]

awesome lesson. I have been struggling with phrasing for a long time and just playing around with these restrictions has helped me to be a lot happier with my sound. I will practice this until i can do it from intuition.

[@soundguitar]

Thanks Simon! I'm glad you feel better about your sound. Happy practicing!

[@kennethdeopp5546]

thank you great lesson

[@soundguitar]

Glad you liked it, Kenneth! :) thanks

[@Ken-Sho]

Thanks Jared, another clear and great lesson.

[@markbelluardo127]

Great video I have found the best way of improving my phrasing is to copy the vocal lines of Sarah Vaughn. Her pitch is perfect and her phrasing makes her the "the Divine One"

[@IdanBarir]

Fantastic lesson, as usual, Jared. Thanks so much!

[@soundguitar]

Thanks, Idan! :)

[@tigabelaspasmusic]

Good lesson...gonna be one of my favorite practice...thank you

[@soundguitar]

Glad to hear that! :)

[@makingsmokesince76]

Improvisational gold. Cheers Jared.

[@TeachingJazz]

Good ideas, really well-taught. Especially the AA'BA and your AABA blueprints. Thanks!

[@soundguitar]

Glad it was helpful!

[@stevenagorny605]

I understand now, thanks for the very informative lesson.

[@Project_Cy]

This is the first video of yours I have ever seen. I immediately subscribed to your channel as a result. Great lesson!

[@acousticadventure1]

awesome lesson, thanks for your time

[@soundguitar]

My pleasure! Thanks :)

[@brookeaday9423]

Nice, really helps build a habit of structure to solos, and conversational awareness. Too often I forget or abandon an idea and just play on the fly. I need to work on this one... a lot.

[@gabrielmoore6099]

I’m primarily a pianist, I’ll be using this idea for sure!

[@evangelkarasuandayaburayag2910]

Thank you may brother soo much helpful appreciated❤️

[@soundguitar]

Glad it helped!! :)

[@kenhazlin5860]

Thank you. I will play with this.

[@soundguitar]

Right on, Ken! :) Thanks

[@dnantis]

Jared this is EXCELLENT !! Can you do a lesson on how to phrase for Classic Rock soloing ? Or can you direct me to a video lesson close to this one but on that genre ? Thanks ...very helpful INDEED !!

[@darringodden7225]

I absolutely loved this. The first one is enough for me.

[@jamalzada1718]

Awesome!!

[@gedinchristian603]

As interesting as everyting you did Jared! You're my best guitar teacher!

[@soundguitar]

Thanks so much, Christian! :) ~~ Jared

[@AthroughZ1thr0ugh9]

Thanks a lot for your video lessons, they have taught me a lot and I really appreciate them! This video and your short series on walking bass lines have been very helpful to me.

[@hybridjohn1]

great lesson brother, super strong. Easy to follow simple ideas that open doors. I like the format of the presentation as well. #Subscribed

[@iyansinger3868]

Thanks brother.... Have been looking for this for long!

[@LloydMajor]

Great class!

[@f.i.l.d.e.p.s]

omg this is a revelation. makes a lot of perfect sense.

[@kevon217]

Very great practice technique!

[@soniatiwari3579]

That octave idea was dope

[@soundguitar]

hey thanks! :)

[@TheJELLIBN]

Another gem, thanks

[@ErnieLeblanc]

Outstanding.

[@crroozroad23]

I wonder if this technique can also be used for creating vocal melody

[@soundguitar]

Absolutely!

[@billallen3429]

Oh this is good

[@maof9932]

Great performance

[@soundguitar]

Thanks! :)

[@mritorto1]

nice video jared its been since i have been on your channel goos stuff this is what i was looking for. be happy to have you on my channel again if you want for another interview if you have something new to share

[@kane6529]

Victor Wooten did a cool interview where he essentially said this! Basically he said he can play the wrong notes but with phasing make it feel right

[@nicolosmoffitt]

Nice tone !! Are those round wounds?

[@soundguitar]

Thanks! Yep, round wound

[@soniatiwari3579]

How can i use phrasing across the whole neck?

[@dominicv3256]

can you upload more videos about Phrasing Bcuz it was a hidden topic

[@coelhocointech9841]

Love this

[@PURPLE_SHADE_SMOOTHIE]

Singing along 10:58

[@jacekmajewski87]

Great channel ! Cheers from Poland ! Btw Your last name sounds familiar here. 🤗

[@jaylo6248]

thats nice but what brings anything to life is the heart and soul of the player on any combination of notes but thanks for the excercises

[@arumoydutta1349]

What will i do when there's 4 different chords in 4 different bars? Obviously playing A A in first two chords/bars wont sound good as chord change in second bar.

[@soundguitar]

Mimic the rhythm but change the pitches if needed

[@markgoodwin5306]

When you were playing octaves it reminded me of stuff I’ve heard from Wes Montgomery and it makes me think that’s what he’s doing haha. Oh and I better ask your advice on this.. I just got a looper and I wanna use it to practice. Is there any cool practice ideas you could throw my way? I thought about looping a few chords and practicing arpeggio/soloing ideas. Maybe practicing 2 to the 5 chord, stuff like that.

[@soundguitar]

Yep, that's exactly what Wes is doing! I pluck them instead of strum them but otherwise same sound. For the looper ideas, exactly what you described is the way to go! Loop 2 chords at first and try to play the chord tones over them, then try it on more chords, other keys, and other progressions.

[@markgoodwin5306]

@@soundguitar Oh shit I was right about Wes? Haha. He was a cool player. Ok awesome I appreciate that input, I’ll do that. They’re pretty fun.

[@michaelmcmillan3607]

Almost did the riff for whole lotta love

[@NhatAnhMuzic]

❤❤❤ seen.

[@willingtonawungshi8217]

How do I know that Im in a specific key while playing melody😅

[@MorningCarnival]

You need to know your scales and notes on the fretboard.

[@yoachelinnocent7963]

So basically pharsing is like question and answer conversations on the guitar

[@northtrader]

I could have sworn Dr. Brian Sutterer (the sports injuries channel) was now doing guitar lesson vids. You sound very similar (in tone and inflection) to Brian's narration. Uncanny resemblance.

[@saifhossain8030]

Thank you for saving my dying guitar interest

[@franklee1550]

If you swing hard enough you can play pretty much anything and it will work.

[@freddycookjr.2164]

CALL THEN RESPOND HAVE A CONVERSATION WITH SELF

[@soundguitar]

INDEEEEED :)

[@druwk]

Another exercise is playing phrases with just one finger.

[@glenclarkchidley3637]

I can solo like a mad man, but it never sounds worth listening to. This will/ should help me slow down.

[@yoachelinnocent7963]

Short questions and long questions short answers and long answers AABA..........,,,,,,,,,,

[@mrunit7261]

Not everyone plays a blues format...............

[@jungleebushcraft]

Blablabla blablabla blablabla blablabla.....

[@marceli155]

is ok ! but too much talk !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@jpsi9]

Good lesson. Talk less.

[@soundguitar]

Noted

[@loloysuacillo5465]

Please less your talking and more to play so that no boaring while watching you phrasing excercise

[@raghavendramupparthy7950]

Nice, Jared; it would be great if you could share the tabs of your phrasing for a beginner like me?
