Thank you Tim for sharing your knowledge. It's PURE GOLD! 🎸🎶💖

[@Ashishsinhaofficial]

A jazz blues enthusiast, watching from Kathmandu, Nepal! Thank you very much for this lesson!

[@GigaBrowser]

This reminds me so much of the old Joe Pass instructional videos on youtube. Equally as valuable but more wholesome

[@stevenblakeborough4706]

I think there is enough material here to keep me busy for over a year - ha ha. Many, many thanks Tim. 🙏

[@SimpleManGuitars1973]

When I see videos like this it still blows my mind how much impact Wes Montgomery and Charlie Christian had on jazz and bebop playing. There are VERY few players with such distinct note choices that just remind you of "them" every time you hear qualities of their playing. Awesome, awesome, video.

[@joepalooka2145]

It took me a long time to figure this out: if you really want to play jazz blues/bebop etc on a guitar ---- don't study guitar players. Study sax players. Sax players don't rely on boring fingerboard patterns like most guitar players. They really know their chords and scales, and especially things like guide tones, patterns, harmony, turns/grace notes/rhythmic devices/phrasing etc. You can't play sax well unless you learn that stuff, whereas on guitar a lot of players fake it by running their fingers up and down. I wish I'd known this a long time ago.

Tim, you are a great teacher! One of the best blues lesson! A wonderful English dialect for everyone on the planet! Thank you!!

[@stevejones3956]

One of the best KZbin lessons ever.Your feel for phrasing is beautiful and vocal-like. You even take a breath before a phrase as a singer would. You're awesome!

[@tgbedini]

Well, that will give me several weeks of exploration. Thanks.

[@gufra9835]

one of the greatest secrets: chromatic >>> landing! So easy said! Thank you Mr. Lerch!

[@Bflatest]

I learned something.

[@baranyiproduction]

Great lesson, perfectly explained!! Thank you!

[@karlsmith3281]

Ya started talking about binary concepts and the bounce - I went oh no, then ya hit that pendulum swing thing - within seconds my blues playing took off like I'd never experienced. So after years of grind I'm over the moon, in fact I'm off to the moon. thanks a ton. Very happy from Devon, England.

[@jaredjason7990]

Great explanation, no unnecessary jargon

[@Bobby007D]

I like the chill way Tim explains his ideas loosely but thoroughly.

[@petersmichaeld59]

Mr. Lerch......very good....straight forward analytical detail....thank God your explanations are concise...as opposed to those you can't stop talking! most appreciative for that.....very generous of you to share.

[@billbones1000]

Nice one! I think listening to Kenny Burrell and Grant Green regularly really helped me greatly with having tasteful bebop licks in a blues context firmly in my ear.

[@underground_man]

A masterclass. Amazing lesson!

[@squarego1]

I've been playing rock/pop/blues/country for 40 years and this is the best instructional video I've ever seen. Perhaps I just found it at the right time. Thanks Timothy.

[@tmitz73]

Best Jazz/Blues lesson perhaps I've ever seen!! Thank you Tim, keep on Pickin'!!!

[@hervparent1539]

I'm coming from rock'n'roll, pop, folk planet, I never dared working on jazz/blues, now I understand so much things thanks to you ! Thanks Tim !

[@TimLerchGuitar]

Please consider subscribing.

[@slackandsteel]

Beautiful lesson. One other thing that’s so important to really get that vibe that I don’t think you mentioned is the liberal use of enclosures. For me those are a key element of the bebop sound.

[@jazzey69]

Thank you! Thank you for this great lesson..be Well..:-)

[@rfpho1456]

A ton of value in this vid.

[@Sammywhat]

Wonderful insights, Tim! Just got finished with a Jack Ruch lesson on mapping arpeggios and this is effectively the next advanced step in playing the blues! This is really special! 🙏🙏🙏 What a glorious time to be a guitar player!! 😄

[@paulmax9871]

Hey Tim, thanks for sharing some ideas in a way that isn’t so overwhelming but still very useful. Awesome!

[@paulmax9871]

By the way… I will subscribe with you soon as I get my situation in order. Thanks again

[@swaffy101]

Well above my head but I’m so into this style.

[@martin_schwarz]

Great as always! You play 2 or 3 lines and I have to take my guitar and play the whole night 😉 Regards from Vienna, Austria where it's 11p.m. at the moment

[@l.harrison9725]

Super tasty playing.

[@christopherlees1134]

Lots of wisdom here!

[@JamesWent]

Phenomenal lesson. Thanks.

[@barrieglenn8353]

Always interesting, what a great guitarist you are.

[@iZephyr6]

Great lines, little bit thelonius monk…little bit bach, a great blues mixture, I love it, just practising it,thanks.

[@nickedbrooke2845]

You are a truly phenomenal player with amazing phrasing and feel. Your hands remind me of Robben Ford.

[@1elvin]

Excellent!!

[@kennywally]

Tim thank you so much for putting this lesson out there. This is so helpful and so interesting.

[@jwp2460]

This is fantastic guidance. I love these ideas for getting more of a bebop sound in blues. I especially like the advice to work of the pulse on 1 and 3 to smooth out your lines. Love this!

[@chrisparkin9947]

This is brilliant. So much packed into this. Thanks, man!

[@augustusbetucius2931]

Interesting. This reveals how stodgy and uptight a jazz education can be. My first semester as a performance major, my private instructor told me in one of our first lessons that I shouldn't bend strings, that wasn't idiomatic to jazz. Here we see Tim Lerch bend strings as he's playing bop influenced lines. Cool. Thank you for letting me out of that prison Mr Lerch. While we're at it, as much as I have loved Robben Ford, this guy is a whole other level. Any doubt? Watch some live videos of him playing and see what I mean.

[@Hiphopdabop]

Everybody is a star..

[@aural_supremacy]

You could have pointed out that horn players bend all the time and not just in semitones or tones but wild bends so not idiomatic to jazz at all but rather symptomatic of using heavy gauge flat wound strings with are difficult to bend.

[@karst41]

Tim, man this is a great lesson as I always struggle with where I am trying to arrive and also where to land. going to the other video now and Thank you very much. Ps look forward to you and Walter teaming up again.

[@russcottee]

[@portsideguitar1981]

Lovely stuff Tim!

[@paulelwood-guitar]

brilliant! thanks mate!

[@thagard7]

Thanks!

[@kaz153m]

1/2 way through the only video of yours I’ve seen and I subscribed. Thanks!

[@WhistlebirdInfinity]

Very helpful video! Thanks so much for sharing your perspective. It occurred to me that when you talk about the 2 and 5 of 4, it's like some kind of "blues fractal" or blues within a blues, which then made me think of Gamelan music which is also crazy compelling and hypnotic! I needed that today. This will make playing piano more fun today.

[@barrieglenn8353]

Absolutely brilliant

[@johnnkern8775]

Hi Tim, Just wanted to say thank you for this video and your others, I've been watching them for a little while and feel encouraged by them. But this one in particular really broke some things down for me to where I may actually get some of this bebop into my blues playing. I've always wanted to be able to play jazz like this but always felt it was maybe just too late and too over my head. However this really encouraged me and I'm really going get into it and do my best to apply it to my blues playing. I just wanted to say thanks for the encouragement I've received because of your generosity to share your art. God bless you and yours 🙏 Sincerely, Kevin

[@willemvannieuwenhuyzen3139]

Very tasteful 🙂

[@vincentchen5341]

I really love those ideas so inspiring and creative, soulful and chilled playing, Tim you are amazing!

[@jack6136]

Oh this is cool 😎! Putting chords into a Blues that aren’t even there ! Of course to the casual listener they won’t get it and if you can afford musicians who know what that is you are Rick Beato, or Pat Matheny !

[@langfordsakarai6689]

Hi Tim Great stuff do have books exspecialy Blues . I check in Amazon the video not available.
