JAZZ Guitar CHORDS in Open Position: "Autumn Leaves"
In this lesson, I'll show you how I approach playing colorful chords in open position - which is less common in jazz, even though it can sound great. This song happens to be in G Major (E minor), which is a relatively easy key for this sort of open-string study. If you like this approach, try other tunes and other keys.

Getting to KNOW a JAZZ STANDARD: "I Concentrate on You" (Cole Porter)
Просмотров 2,5 тыс.9 часов назад
In this lesson, I'll show you how I approach learning jazz standards, using Cole Porter's fantastic "I Concentrate on You". If you really want to understand a song like this, you'll need more than 'The Real Book' or the iReal Pro app - tho' they can be useful resources as well. I recommend listening to recordings of the song from a variety of eras, studying the original sheet music, and transpo...

DOMINANT/DIMINISHED Sounds: A PRACTICAL Approach
Просмотров 2,5 тыс.Месяц назад
There's an 8-note scale commonly used over Dom.7(b9) chords, built by alternating half-step, whole-step - all the way up the scale. From A, for example: A, Bb, C, C#, D#, E, F#, G. It's a cool sound, but can be hard to hear if you're coming from playing blues or rock. In this lesson, I show an approach that you may find more accessible.

Well adam, this interview got me discovering your stuff! Fantastic!🤘
Ted is my hero, every time I hear more about him it just becomes more true
This is fantastic, thank you very much!
I have finally understood the difference between 9 and add9. Thanks a million! I love this channel, there's a soothing quality to these friendly and calm explanations
I would be too star struck and overwhelmed to ask Julian much of anything.🤣
I know the feeling.
Liked the little spirit of the radio lick in the intro
This is like the avengers of guitar!😂😂
Yes!
I could not imagine being that well versed as a musician. Respect to you sir
Cheers.
An awesome array of practical applications on this topic. Thank you very much!
I was teaching about the power of triads way back in the early 90s. I wrote it all down and self-published my book PlaneTalk. When I first got on the Internet nobody was talking about triads it was all scales, modes, boxes, pentatonics. It's nice to see that players are finding out more from all these great teachers. Killed my business though,
Hey Kirk! I loved your book..someone gave me a copy and it helped me understand so many theory concepts...I lent it...and lost it, as you do! Is i t still available? And what are you doing now if I may ask?
Amazing video, material to study for days!
Speaking of the Greenwich Village guitar scene of the early '60s, I'd love to hear a discussion of the late, great king of the 12-string: Dick Rosmini.
I must confess: I don't know about Dick Rosmini.
This was amazing! So much to learn from each teacher. Thanks to you all!
blues for LA ❤
great info adam! when you do video interviews, you may want to prepare the person you are interviewing so they have an idea what your questions may be. that way there are many less periods where the person doesn't know how to answer and instead throw in many "like" and "um". again, tho, great subject and response!
Good idea. Thanks for watching.
Amazing playing, and great tips as always. That guitar is lovely as well, it sounds so great. Traditional OM2h?
It is an OM2H. I'm not sure if it's Traditional series. Not my guitar. It belongs to a friend who I shared that studio space with.
I also always look for scores that are as close to the original as possible. Frequently they are for the piano and look like the one in this video. However I find that the guitar symbols they add are not very reliable, I only use the piano part. Maybe the editors added these chord annotations to make the sheet more accessible to amateurs with easy grips. Or to give just some upper notes of the harmony, requiring a separate bass, and gave them (wrong) names that relate to the shapes, such as the augmented that is in fact the upper part of a min maj 7 chord shown in this video. Anyway, it's confusing, but these scores are still way better than the Real book and similar resources.
Nice intro! Blues For Los Angeles?
This masterclass is brilliant! All great teachers. Thank you!
Wonderful stuff!! Thank you.
I've said it before, sweet stuff gentlemen. Salutations..
Ciao Adam, Fred Astair version has same beginning chords of Body and Soul, maybe he had this Ebm sound in his hears since then. ❤
Adam i am gonna try to connect you to @RickBeato, .. since you´re one of the greatest guitarists of all time. i will make sure Rick ( who has a ton a followers") will make you show up on his channel. give me some time
That would be great! Thank you.
adam i know you from the norah jones records. you have always been my fave guitar. what a luck to have your channel, i didnt know you´re posting thins alone for so long. hope you´re fine.
thanks adam
Interesting video, and I think it's great to see people like you discussing classic standards like "I Concentrate On You". I do play hundreds of tunes like this from the Real Book using IRealPro backing tracks. Some musical snobs/advanced purists think this is "vanilla" but I heartily disagree. Rather I think it's a fantastic educational learning tool for beginners/inermediate and even advanced players. This has vastly improved my sight reading skills, my rhythm and time, my harmonic knowledge, my improv skills, and my knowledge of hundreds of these great classic tunes. However i agree with you that you really need to listen to many different recordings by great artists, with the ultimate goal of interpreting these songs in your own way, including learning to sing them, which is a whole other dimension in itself. When you can play the chords to these tunes solo by yourself with no backing track, play the melodies and also sing the lyrics, and improvise as well --- you've really achieved a lot.
One of the standards I should've picked up while in 'jazz school', or 'on the road'. This way of in-depth yet uncomplicated - actual - learning affords another chance 🙏 The approach also sheds more light on the specific qualities of songwriting / the initial arrangement ideas that make standards like this so great and how to interpret these aspects. Not to indulge too much in melodic minor math ("scale theory", simply used as a measuring device) but: while both the mentioned Eb min-maj harmony from the piano reduction vs. the now more commonly used Bb7#5 / Ab7#11 chord grips all share and are derived from the same pitch group; in theory (Eb Melodic Minor = Bb Mixo b13 = Ab Lydian Dom); the audible effect isn't the same. The choice of notes, including the Eb as 'root' note of the voicing allows for a more ambiguous 'dominant' sound towards the Ebm7, than a more blunt V chord voicing effect, e.g. when opting for a Bb as lowest note in the voicing.
Thanks, Jan. I'm always intrigued by your insights.
@@AdamLevyGuitarTips Thank you :) Now, I just hope that one day I also arrive at a more concise way of sharing mentioned insights - usually we don't need too many words in music, lol
I love you man.
Great video
Thanks!
When i studied jazz guitar in Switzerland 40 years ago, we had to know at least 150 standards by heart in all keys. I think people underestimate the harmonic skills, that come from it. Also for the memory, the routine, everything. I would not have been able, to survive without it.
That's fantastic! There was a time, years ago, when I regularly played duo gigs with jazz singers. Some brought charts, some didn't. I had to know *loads* of tunes by heart, in whatever keys. I don't know if I could play a gig like that now, but it really helped to make me the musician that I am today.
@@AdamLevyGuitarTips Isnt it funny, that a lot of singers do not know their keys. Still sometimes they bring sheets to the gig in the wrong keys. Let me tell you, your videos are so great, and you are a wonderful musician.
Thanks Adam ! Of all the Jazz standards to pick from. What a nice choice. ❤️🎸 I’m getting my feet wet into Jazz Guitar and this would be a great start.
This is AMAZING, but I am still using the Andres Segovia, 20 STUDIES FOR GUITAR by Fernando Sor, from the OLD SCHOOL to develop technical virtuosity. So many roads to Mastering music fundamentals, through Classical Guitar Repertoire. Try playing RIKKI DON'T LOSE THAT NUMBER SOLO by RICK RUSKIN, better to PLAY MUSIC than doing too much theory.
i was fortunate enough to see Lenny Breau live dozens of times back in the day. sometimes at clubs with only a few people in the audience . Very sad. I even got to know Jack Zaza years later When I was a math teacher. Jack hired a young Lenny Breau to perform with the CBC band live on television shows . Jack was pretty much retired, but taught students extra lessons to apply and get admitted to jazz schools. He told me a lot of great stories about Lenny and all the 1000s of sessions that Jack did over the decades . Larnell Lewis was a student at the school and we would jam sometimes. He often played piano! Now he is the drummer for snarky puppy, and he has his own band playing around Toronto. sorry for any errors in this. I use voice to text because I have severe arthritis. Adam you’re a monster guitarist.❤
