i'm starting in the jazz guitar world and this is helping me to understand litte by little! The whole book is amazing. Thank you!

[@stefanjoubert]

Excellent! I am very happy to hear that this is helping you to understand things a little better! Thank you! 😊😊

[@JazzStrat781]

[@stefanjoubert]

Thank you so very much! 😊😊

Sound amazing! I bought that book 4 years ago, I learned all the activities but I can’t apply them into my playing.

[@stefanjoubert]

Thank you! Yes, it is not an easy book to study. I think most students need lessons on how to incorporate them into their playing and I would generally not recommend studying the lines without a teacher. (It can be done, but it is an arduous journey!) 😊

[@sturdychinfilms]

This is gonna sound arduous, but have you learned each of the lines in each of the five positions and then transposed them into different keys? If you do that, and/or pick a tune and find one spot to play the line as is, that helps tremendously.

@@sturdychinfilms As it is written in the book: "The following linear expressions are a form of art. In Webster's dictionary the definition of the word 'art' is stated that "art implies a personal unanalyzable creative power", whereas the word 'skill' stresses technical knowledge and proficiency, and in both cases the word 'arduous' is stated as "that which is hard to accomplish or achieve with difficulty, marked by a great labor or effort". IT IS ARDUOUS but so worth it in the very long run! As someone said: RUN TOWARDS THE FIRE! 😊😊

I love this series of videos. I am working my way through Linear Expressions and am up to activity 4. I keep coming back to this series to get a sense of how to apply these things. I have a question though - in this video, you go through application of activity 2 to set of different chords. Can activity 1 (or 3,4 or 5) also be applied to the same chords, or is there something unique about activity 2 that makes it better for the chords you mention here (eg, c9 or em7b5)? On the one hand, they are all g minor, so maybe that's the answer but there are differences (I think) between the activities, maybe in where the chromaticism lies.

[@stefanjoubert]

Thank you for your kind comment! I just used chords on the moment in an impromptu manner. Every activity should be used on every single chord configuration out there. In the future I will make a video to make this very clear! 😊😊

[@cgmahony]

Very cool. Great approach

[@stefanjoubert]

Thank you so much! 😊😊

[@Blackjawreen]

Hey Stefan thnx a bunch for breaking down this informative book Linear expressions.As you said Pat is mixing the dorian and melodic minor scales to get his lines .Seems you didnt demonstrate precisely how ?

[@stefanjoubert]

Thanks so much for your comment. Yes in this video I am not going into enough details. He basically uses either Dorian or Melodic Minors or a mixture and then uses different movements of lines and chromaticism to create these nice lines! I need to make another video to explain this in more details!
