Nice lesson! 3:48 Good balance between talking and playing. Maybe a lesson on some of the stretched out Johnny Smith chords and progressions.

Do you have a simple chord book with this info?

Little secrets of great masters, thank you.

In these straitened times this is the answer to a harmonically challenged guitarist’s woes. - Kidding aside, I thought I had a handle on multi function chord voicings but you just threw down some doozies 🤩 Thank you muchly 🙏….. and it’s good to see you back!

Can you explain more example of V7/iii, V7/Vi ?

Thanks, playing the guitar is exciting, and more so with the method of learning is really clearly explained by your video...

Great video man. You are one cool cat 😎

Love Dr.George's lesson.❤

Hogwash

Hi George. I really enjoyed this video. I’ve been studying jazz guitar for over three years, and feel like I’m making progress, but also feel kind of stuck. I would like to chat with you about a personal learning plan, and some private lessons. How might we chat? Roger Ford

thanks George , I am back at jazz guitar at 64 ( needless to say I 'm running vs the hourglass ;) your thorough insight is exactly what I need to catch up... have a great day. Chris ( SW France)

Sounds like you are talking about me.... 😉

Hi George. I am a bass player of quite a few years. A couple of years ago I bought an Ibanez semi hollow jazz guitar and started out learning to play guitar. i have always loved playing jazz with the bass but wow! it is huge step up to playing jazz on guitar. I can play a bit, perhaps enough to keep going, but only just. Then I noticed your web site which stood out from all of the others for many reasons. The only thing is I am not sure if I would fit the prerequisite for the program other than my age. What do you think?

There are many great teachers teaching their craft on YT. We're lucky guitarists like me can access material such as this that helps us develop and progress our playing. ✌️

Agree. Seeing you sir, I see Joe Pass alive again 😊

Great lesson 👍

Great advice George-learning by ear takes more time than using the dots , which so often I encounter when playing in a Big Band. Doing your own arrangement from the bottom up really is very satisfying. Very encouraging teaching style too- obviously a lot of experience here. Thank you.

Your enthusiasm is quite contagious! Thank you for your cheerful and light approach to teaching this beautiful music, I think it will help a lot of people (just like it's helping me)

This video is too much talking than practice to teach...😂

What do u think about learning Charlie Christian solos? I feel it can be great for learning arpeggios but I have a tough time hearing the guitar chords on the Benny Goodman records. Any thoughts?

Thank you ❤

55 anni e adoro sentire e suonare standard jazz🎸🙌

Thanks you. I'm way past 50 but trying to get to grips with basic jazz guitar. This is very helpful and what I like. mot is that s you've got us playing something that sounds like jazz right off the bat.

Ed Bickerts comping on Pure Desmond is an absolute masterclass in comping. He played a tele on the session and you’d swear the accompaniment was a Fender Rhodes! I’d be remiss if I didn’t mention Lorne Lofsky as Ed was a huge influence and colleague that recorded with Ed on an ibanez Roadster Strat.

Thanks -brings a lot of things together. What was the name of the 4th rhythm pattern at 7.40 ? -I'm sure it's not 'Woodster'. Any enlightenment?

That’s a GigMaster by Peerless.. if I’m. Not wrong:) sounds good!

Transcribing small phrases in solos is a great exercise for ear training and learning the language

Scofield said the best way to learn jazz was to learn and play tunes. He should know.

Wow, the absolute essence condensed into 11 minutes!

Thanks man 🤙🏼 , 66 yr old long time beginner here . I need to watch this a few times . A simple approach to something that at first seems overwhelming.

Great advice and immediately applicable to a practice routine. Thanks

Scott Henderson.said"it's all in your records"😊

I say learn it all...Learn Phrases.. intervals . Cells appeggios, feel, licks are ok, but listening is key..

I have a question regarding the small chords/shapes you’re mentioning at 07.07: what does P4, TT and P5 mean? Thank you dr. Hess! 🎸🙏

Whoa. Definitely bookmarking. You are speaking a familiar language, but the common connection to the T SD sd- T D T, I will need to explore that further! Good stuff. Thanks! Cheers, Daniel 🤙🏻

Great advice

Tengo 65 y me siento más joven que antes ( tocó desde chico y a mi edad con más sutileza y corazón ( y improvisacion surge más fluida! El único problema Levantar mi amolifier Fender tubos😂

10 precious minutes! Thank you George!

Really useful, thanks for sharing

Exactly! Learning tunes gives me the tones from the melody that call out Key and Scale, and it makes me work. It also makes me stone cold aware what brilliant composers made these Standards.
