[@jacobfilander3916]

Well it's wonderful thank you very much ❤🎉

[@GregOsby]

Impressive explanation chops, ila. And thanks for putting a spotlight on Mick. Excellent video. 🎼

[@Troy1g]

Great explanation of voice leading. His book the advancing guitarist is a very important and great book.

Very good video!

It's hard finding his almanac books these days. I read that near the end of his time in this plane he was working to organize all his works for rerelease. I hope someone is still working to do that - he was absolutely brilliant one of the jazz guitar OGs that gave us so much. Your work on this is great and an inspiration to find these books by any means necessary. Thank you for posting.

Thank you! Yes his books are so important for guitarists! I hope they become much more accessible soon.

ok, ok...

Go to Modern Guitar Harmony's website where the Almanacs have been made available as pdf downloads. They also have a ton of other stuff... and a KZbin channel. All above board and legal.

Nice clip ...I liked the intro with your description of Mick as an archaeologist, absolutely digging deep into guitar knowledge.

[@bloomingmuse]

Thank you! Yes he was an archeologist of the fretboard :)

Studied with Mick a few times at Berklee, he and Ted Greene are huge influences. Cool video!

I was in Mick’s class in 2001 right when vol. 1 was released. I watched him improvise while looking through some of the examples. It was, otherworldly.

[@bloomingmuse]

That must have been incredible!

This is going to be rather helpful!🎸🎸🎸🎸

[@bloomingmuse]

I hope so ;) !

[@lozo2331]

Fantastic concepts! I’m really getting a lot from this! I have practiced my scales in 3rds,4ths etc but not chord scales. Will definitely add this to my practice routine.

Thank u

Cool Kora in the background! Have you heard of Derek Gripper? He's figured out a way to play some kora music on guitar. :) He's an amazing player. thanks for this lesson.

The voicings always move in a pattern based on the root movement pattern - ie. ascending 2nds through the scale of G would be Root to 2nd(Am) to 1st(Bm) Root(C) 2nd(D) 1st(Em) Root(F#dim) 2nd for the next G. 7 voices for 7 triads. The sequence continues from the G in 2nd resulting in the following: 2nd(G) to 1st(Am) to Root(Bm) 2nd(C) to 1st(D) to root(Em) 2nd(F#dim) to 1st (for G chord). With G in 1st the pattern is 1st(G) Root(Am) 2nd(Bm) 1st(C) Root(D) 2nd(Em) 1st(F#dim) Root for G!!! Once the whole pattern is played 3 times each chord has been played in each voicing. Descending scale : G to F#dim to Em to D to C to Bm to Am to G would be as follows: if G is in Root - then its Root(G) 1st(F#dim) 2nd(Em) Root(D) 1st(C) 2nd(Bm) Root(Am) 1st(G) - 2nd(F#dim) Root(Em) 1st(D) 2nd(C) root(Bm) 1st(Am) 2nd(G) Root(F#dim) 1st(Em) 2nd(D) Root(C) 1st(Bm) 2nd(Am) root(G) each root movement has similar voicing sequences. It seems that up the voices means Root 1st 2nd and down the voices means Root 2nd 1st. It makes sense if you write out the voice leading with letters and in notation ( it will teach one to read music). Ascending/Descending 3rds is nice as is the Ascending/Descending 4ths. In each root movement the changing note is like a suspension resolving to its proper note. There is all kinds of hidden links between the triads. If one takes the time to write it out in notation and in letter form you'll see a whole new world. It will open up your guitar. Then adapt a cool picking rhythm or even finger picking alla classical guitar and you've got the types of sounds that Paco de lucia was using or John McLaughlin and Pat Metheny. Thank you Blooming Muse for the eye opening revelations. Carry on!!!
