Wow! Why can't there be a like, super-like and a ultra-mega-spectacular-like button for this video? I'd definitely hit all three. Thank you so very much!

Thank you for sharing your vast musical knowledge with us all 🙏🏻🎸🙏🏻

[@matthollingshead6860]

Your teaching style re: this mountain peak tune inspires a dumb guitar player (me) to pick up my axe and chop. Thank you, Sir.

[@shipsahoy1793]

[@mikegeld1280]

Nice work,and good advice on this piece,Do you have some advice for bass on this , (other than arpeggiating the chords in real time,)maybe you know a good hack to not get "behind" on this ,I tried the whole tone scale adding chromatic notes ,it kinda works but jw if you can suggest something else to mix with it or otherwise? Ty

[@Osnosis]

That ligature is upside-down, yes?!

[@Sirvalorsax]

Yes, according to the website. I've tried both configurations and this works well. I can't use the cap with it in this configuration though

[@tomhynes2908]

Giant steps is nothing more than the bridge section to Have You Met Miss Jones

[@Sirvalorsax]

The key centers are moving differently in "Giant Steps" than in "Have you met Mr Jones". The first half of Giant Steps descends through the augmented and the back half ascends. The first 4 bars of the bridge of HYMMJ descends and then deviates from the pattern

[@Shaddowmusic]

I’m doing this 🔥🙌🏾

[@longlosthome]

blues guitar player , but want to understand GS, I am on my way now , much appreciated

[@PhinAI]

[@ericworthy1300]

I really expected a clip of you soloing over giant steps at the end

[@teenageriot2600]

Amazing! You're awesome! That made more sense than any other explanation I've heard so far.

[@Sirvalorsax]

[@nickychuck]

Hey Sirvalorsax Can you say if high f# on alto is an altissimo note? Hard for me to play it!
