Which level are you aspiring for?

[@GPRTV13]

Noob 😄 btw whats the title of the first song?

[@JTCGuitar]

@@GPRTV13 first two are essentially just licks over backings around 2-5-1 minor and major ideas. Last one is Cherokee!

[@johnharrison531]

Im in between beginning and intermediate. A little chromaticism, 2 5 1 and alot of 6th diminished scale here and there. I gotta work on my arpeggios inversions and speed.

[@ramilshakirov33]

В первой ты по тактам и акцентам не попал. Нет выразительности игры. Когда научишься будешь спрашивать про уровень😁

[@janpacana6293]

The beginner version was the best to listen to. The intermediate and advanced version was a bit fraudulent.

[@SpeakMouthWords]

and the wise master just goes back to playing the first one again

[@G8tr1522]

Except with self-accompaniment

[@peterrazumnov5706]

Musically it definitely made more sense than following two licks.

A mix is definitely nice. It all has its place. Mediterranean Sundance wouldn’t be the same without those insane licks or the gorgeous simple ones

[@saifaboasaly333]

1 year left to achieve the begginer level

[@rzyfury7180]

1 month left bro you're doing great

[@Jay-jm1qt]

did you make it

[@someguy9177]

did you get it done? It's been a year.

[@geose69]

It's been a year, are you a beginner now?

[@oneisidoniomachava4248]

Are u a begginer?

[@n1night635]

I actually really liked the beginner one, people always focus so much on shredding bebop lines, but making good melody is just as important!

[@fueymanchoo1291]

Same here. I prefer a good melody line over the woodlydoo solos.

[@4arms4dayz]

The key is keeping the melodic structure. A good musician like this guy still has the chord tones emphasized and timed correctly, and you can clearly hear the distinctions between the leading tones, arpeggio switches etc. I liked all of them equally

[@kaylacarpenter272]

I love simple and down tempo Bossa Nova.

[@adriansavio118]

The beginner one was my favourite!

[@zombiesateourchannel]

Actually the first one was the genius lick.

[@RoadRafa]

All the levels are beautiful

[@rhr7799]

I would like to be able to achieve all 3 levels. They all have an important role in certain contexts. "Music for life"🎶

[@andrewbroughton65]

3 levels of speed more like it

[@dappergents3743]

That's exactly what I thinking LoL

[@timothysimpson1316]

Awesome. I think true musicianship and the hours sacrificed to obtain it are less noticed these days. I both hear it and appreciate it. Good job!

[@nikeshsinha3418]

There is something so beautiful about Luca's Playing His lessons are worth checking Big fan

[@mandanglelow1442]

This is one of the current guitar trends that I just can't stand! The main difference in these three sections is speed. There's absolutely nothing wrong with the first part which is a melody in its own right. The second lick gets faster and then the third faster still. This is exactly why all the Young guitar players out there are obsessed with speed. Speedy playing should be a means to an end, the end being a great Melody. To all you young players out there just know this: a great 8th Note Melody is just as valid and could be even better than a sixteenth note or 32nd note Melody. Speed does not equal better!

[@Hadri_ART]

You have to learn technique first, to choose what you wanna play then. If you are not capable to do something it s not an artistic choice but a limit to your expressivity. It s like picasso that could draw perfectly detailed scenes and then dropped that technique to invent cubism. In his case he chose to do so because knowledge gives you freedom, choice. This video is intended to sell courses, make people learn, so this has perfectly sense. Plus, the solos were all great, last one wasn t an endless 6 strings sweep

[@mandanglelow1442]

@@Hadri_ART yes like I said earlier all technique is a means to an end which is making great music or melodies

[@Hadri_ART]

@@mandanglelow1442 so what s the point of criticize this video? Last one was speedy but tasty as well, note choice was cool and followed the chord progression well. They are offering lessons

[@Spaceman2921]

Very true. It's just wankers on youtube who love showing off.

[@mandanglelow1442]

@@Hadri_ART You're missing my point.

[@chokzholics]

the last one is so satisfying

[@martyshwaartz971]

The intermediate one was so fluid! Love it!

[@NarangaChill]

All of them are good, but the beginner one gave a nostalgic feel, like if you were in a cafe, but all of them are good. Note: if you also hear the background music and not only the guitar licks, all of the levels sound better, there’s a piano on the background so it doesn’t really only sound like wrong notes anymore, so after that it’s up to you whether you prefer the beginner one or intermediate and advanced.

[@thuscomeguerriero]

Honestly, I prefer the beginner. Clear phrasing

[@alex79teramo49]

Bellissimo ascoltare la chitarra Jazz! Meraviglioso il Jazz! L' anello di congiunzione con Dio. Alessandro.

[@elementallobsterx]

Why do people hate fast jazz? The last one is obviously the coolest!

[@johnjones3811]

Jazz guitar is the best vibe in music!

[@CSBourne]

Very nice indeed.

[@NathanRech]

the begginer one is the best solo.

Great!!!!

[@gustavoteaddybear6380]

Very good❤❤❤

You can sing the beginner level lines. It's more musical. The avanced level sounds like a music class exercise.

Luca un mostro come sempre

[@kelinjohnson7421]

3 years in im still learning to spider walk

[@todretex]

i think it is important to play like a beginner some times based on these. Accent with some fancier stuff. simplifying something and highlighting other things.

[@JesusIsLord644]

I liked the intermediate play the best

[@charlesmartiniii1405]

All the way to the top baby

[@adriancarvalhoramos5918]

Essa música me lembra no começo o Jogo do sonic em que ele é o wherehog (perdão se eu esqueci 😅)

cannot argue with that. damn.

[@kratos8075]

I think i want to be a jazz player...i try metallica but jazz is just so cool

[@duhbeans5600]

Yeaaaaa that intermediate lick is well beyond intermediate. There was hybrid picking and sweeping involved which are both very advanced.

[@RobertoHernandez-kf8nn]

Cherokee sounds fire 🔥

What kind of guitar are you Playing

[@josecarlosgarcia2652]

20 years playing stuck in level 1😢

[@anish3183]

Awesome playing

[@davidabiodun167]

❤how can I learn the advance exercise

[@ersatzvitamin1]

Lv.1 : Mainly about staying in the scale, stutters and fillers can happen beside licks. Jumps between scale boxes. Lv.2 : Can extend licks, elongate patterns along the fretboard and can connect them seamlessly into scale runs and vice versa. Lv.3 : Whole fretboard being the playground for your finger, now that all the boxes are already intertwined in your brain; you can start on any fret/any string and still make it "home", via many ways you've already learned and honed. (now you can curate the solo experience?)

[@dappergents3743]

True but you can tell these licks are predetermined in his last example the spacing is none existence causing everything to sound like he is playing a scale not very melodic just sounds rushed modes

[@poliko676]

9:08

[@zacapu57]

Wish I knew how to play like that

[@omko73]

Is the advanced playing over cherokee ?

[@WM-nv1zf]

Que guitarra es ???

[@Saziaxsensei]

Even beginner sounds like pro to me

[@davidscott7858]

What’s the first one called?

[@felipeantonio2284]

If that's a begginer, i'm still in conception

[@melamelawen]

What’s the last one called? Is it bebop? I want to play like that

[@chrismudd9342]

So in order to be an advanced player you have to play faster?

[@AmilcarAlho-hj4fe]

I think in order to be an advanced player you need to be versitile enough to be able to play well fast and slow solos without ever losing the quality

[@dappergents3743]

​@@AmilcarAlho-hj4feif that's the case then this was a failure especially at the end outside of speed everything was predetermined patterns that lacked spacing making it sound like scales played fast his licks were nonexistent in the advance level nothing stood out about it Actually it's on the same level as the beginner level imo if you know what you're hearing His phrasing needs work clearly The first two examples sound better melodic to the ears Advanced level not melodic whatsoever

[@RevivanACerati78]

What is the name of the three songs?

[@jeperstone]

Reminds me that Jazz guitarists have played the same old songs too many times and are trying to keep it interesting for themselves

[@Acrylic_000_Paint]

I’m trying to stick to the beginner for now but I’m making my first jazz solo for bend and I’m kinda stuck I have a scale and pentatonic scale that I want to use but it sounds so boring and I wasn’t sure if I should learn arpeggios if anyone has any advice please help me

[@caprise-music6722]

Come on. You can’t change the song just cuz it’s the expert level..

[@dappergents3743]

Not sure your example came across as intended funny thing is the first two examples sound better than the last advanced level Outside of speed on the last example no feel in the lick sound like everything was a predetermined pattern played over backing track and needed better spacing everything seemed rushed .

[@aidanpigg2544]

Ok got it. Speed = skill. I guess richard Benson is the worlds best guitar player.

[@joe-nautilus-nauticus]

Sweeeet

[@luciusexe3205]

Tabs?

[@brunoseixascorrea]

Why did you use different backingtracks? There's no point comparing different licks if they are not applied in the same context. The first example is a slow bossa nova, whereas the third is a fast bebop. Why? It interferes with the comparison, not to mention that it implies that advanced players have to play fast. Appart from that, very good skills. Thumbs up!

[@lordthicknipples-gt2oq]

Is he picking with his thumb or is there a hidden pick that I just can't see?

[@blooddddzzzzz]

Quindi wes montgomery era begginer
