sheryl is a queen of jazz

[@joeenck9065]

Sheryl, you are just too lovely.:-) You're simply the best teacher there is on this planet earth and I enjoy every minute of you talking. Thanks for being there and especially for bringing focus to the music I love, which is bebop. It was about time someone does what you do now but I never would have thought, someone does it as lovely and authentic as you do. You really touch my heart with your style and manner. Thanks and peace out!

[@srwaite7]

I could have really used this lesson 35 years ago. Lol! Thanks SB!

[@stevemartin4249]

Tuned in late from Japan, but got it all, took a lot of notes. Great video lesson.

[@4gcole]

Excellent class Sheryl!

[@chipispowdercoatingcharles8444]

I think she is definitely at the top she really knows how to do it

[@angelgroover]

Thanks Sheryl!

[@christopherdecena7828]

Thank you very much , very clearly explained ! I’m gonna be digesting these for days to come !

[@BlueSkies32]

So insightful, thank you- be safe in the Bronx, avoid the 2&5 train into the city. Barry Zweig and Sid Jacobs have told me this for years, but I really connected with your explanation.

[@anwyllonmusic]

Wow! Thank you Sheryl.

[@johnhrock1009]

This was excellent. Thank you.

Great lesson!

[@charlesqful]

Thanks Sheryl, always refreshing...

[@jessmore9870]

One interesting thing about Drop 2 chords on the guitar is that if you play in sets of four adjacent strings -- 1,2,3,4 or 2,3,4,5 or 3,4,5,6 -- the root and the fifth will always be next to each other and the third and seventh will always be next to each other.

[@gustomizuka4266]

WOW! What a beautiful chord solo at 23:45

[@MrAndreapisciotta]

Thanks Lady!

[@ThomasDeLello]

She's cool...!!!Sheee...sh...!!! I could learn a LOT from her.She's in the Bronx... I'm from Yonkers.But... I'm in North Carolina now.

Good lesson!

[@halbertking2683]

"I'm Busted" by Ray Charles,the melody is chord tones.

[@RealinDealer]

Hi. What guitar is that?

[@davex5424]

Question third and seventh or third and flat seven.?

[@foxybrown2]

I understand what you are saying but to me it sounds fuller with the bass. I even like it with just the bass and the melody.

[@joerectifier]

Scales and "positions" and "boxes" are fantastically boring - They do seem to provide a good framework for connections between chord tones and good framework for seeing the neck over time...I love what you are saying here....many times, over and over I heard Scott H say, "well, you can focus on the chord tones there"...and it took a while to get it - after examining the guitar fretboard and playing for much too long, it finally hits home and you reinforce it here.

[@professorhamamoto]

Plug in and let's hear your beautiful full semi-acoustic tone.

[@blueeyedsoulman]

Just wondering what guitar and strings you use? Is that guitar semi-hollow? Thanks

[@kungfuaxe1]

My Signature McCurdy Mercury

[@hanskung3278]

But if I'm creating melodies why can't I use a root and 5th?, even if there is a bass? What if the melody has a root and 5th in it?

[@robertkahn4284]

I'm definitely not a theory expert but I'll give you what I think to be the correct answer. The 3rd and the 7th define the chord quality. If you use just the 3rd and the 7th of each chord to play a melody without any other instruments playing the listener will be able to hear the changes. You can use all the notes to make a melody, including roots and fifths, but if you are resolving to the 3rds and 7ths of the harmony then the melodies will be more pleasing.

[@hanskung3278]

@@robertkahn4284 Ok, makes sense, thanks

[@kungfuaxe1]

That's what you hire the bass player to do :) but more importantly, the 3 and 7 define the harmony

[@hanskung3278]

apologies for the greengrocers' apostrophe...

Maybe you could let us know the chart of Carenia your fantasic composition! How about thet?

[@kungfuaxe1]

It's an Emily Remler tune - amazing piece!

Good lesson, but bad sound of guitar.

[@kungfuaxe1]

Yes, just checking that out: I wanted to use my zoom but didn't have time to work it out - for sure next time!

[@DanielLentinelobis]

Great Sheryl!!

[@geetarnut]

Excellent teaching here. She un-complicates the fret board which every one of us has been stuck with at one point or another. Thanks much~!~

[@chipispowdercoatingcharles8444]

I think one important thing when you decide to start playing jazz is listening "I definitely don't listen enough " but get your inversions and arpeggios in order

[@JSDJerry]

Thank you. Great podcast. So many important points. You've inspired me.

[@pickandstring]

I bought your bebop dojo session!

[@irishmuso7129]

Fantastic as always. Sheryl's DVD's are priceless resources.
