What blows my mind about Mike Stern is a guy of that magnitude teaching and talking beginners stuff as he is one...my favorite guitar player ever....thank you for being who you are Mike.
Mr Mike stern . My right hand has the same problem as you. But when I watch your video today . You gave me more strength to believe never give up your favorite thing in your life . Thank you master .
There’s nothing more inspirational than a genius with so much humility!! Watched him for decades in his element at the 55 !!! Fantastic memories. Go Mike !!!
I love the idea he brings up about "thinking" of it as C Dorian, and F Mixolydian, and not Bb Major, even thought they're the same notes. I try to get this across all the time. 'So important I think; so you play what you mean to play.
@@user-oy7gz5bf2h I had to seek it out myself. I didn't go to school for music, but studied a lot out of what I heard and wanted to understand. Thanks Julien.
just play since a long time and 6 hours a day lol ! i saw mike stern , i was young at the new morning geneva , not paris , he played like he does 40 years ago lol ! remember , the gig with the violonist ...and cobham ! stern is great !
Hey Mike can you explain maybe in this format the chord subs #11 and how you might walk over those changes. What you are doing here is real simple and easy to understand. I grabbed some stuff you did with Bill Evans. I am more of a Blues Rock Metal player but have always loved the Jazz Vocabulary. Wes, You, Pat Martino and Kenny Burrell. Anyway thank you for your time and energy. All the best coming out of this Covid 19 debacle. Greg
I love Mike Stern. I first heard him live in 1979 when I was a newbie at Berklee. Countless times since then. But, I don't think the notion of "chord scales" works with this tune Autumn Leaves, or "Les Feuilles mortes", original title. To get this tune down to its full potential, you need to play the straight vanilla melody countless times until it is fully memorized. Once that is done, you will hear where & when to add any tension notes to your chording. A lot of jazz versions of the song use substitute changes that don't fit with the melody. I would recommend, do not go there. If you don't like the original changes, choose a different tune to play , or write your own. Jut IMO.
Fingers on my right hand don't bend backwards that way. Very interesting. Just trying to imitated that position is very tense for me. We all come at it with our own morphology.
His right hand doesn't look healthy... His index finger seems to be some kind of deformed. And he even has his pick glued to his fingers (05:31), which at least I haven't seen him doing in the past...
I remember Mike at the 1st Panama Jazz Fest. He asked me if I transcribed, which I said yeah, but when I asked him, he said he has books full of them. No wonder he is a master!
The info here is good, but it won't make you a good improviser. Better to break it down into smaller bits of info dealing with motivic development and focusing on the top 4 string.
It's a quick secondary dominant back into the first chord, the C min. The melody does not forbid it. Besides, there are plenty non harmonic tones in melodies.

What a great person and musician. A real treasure

without a doubt, his genius aside, Mike Stern probably is the most likeable humble guitarist ever...
Together with Steve Morse:)
Robben Ford is the same, just a great human being!
@@hmmmwhatever andy timmons??
Yeah and Joe Pass
Yes
I didn't realize until now just how badly broken Stern's right wrist was... amazing that he has regained his flexibility enough to play so well.
Amazing player, great tune, soothing notes...UNBELIEVABLE HAIR at more than 68 years old
is it removable?
No that’s real stuff
Even with nerve damage to his picking hand, he's still world class. Before the accident he was other worldly class. Galactic class.
GOD Bless You 🎸🎸🎸
This is a good lesson. Hard to get students to do it all, though. Their loss.
Yep. Takes effort and discipline, which few students actually have.
Stern is The Man.

Had a chat with a bass player friend of mine last year who used modes the same way. Sorta wish I was taught it that way now.

Thanks Mr. Stern. Time in Place
What a wonderful world.
Quanta generosidade e humildade em um guitarrista ... sublime e única é sua música, Mike.
Mike Stern is a beast
just play since a long time and 6 hours a day lol ! i saw mike stern , i was young at the new morning geneva , not paris , he played like he does 40 years ago lol ! remember , the gig with the violonist ...and cobham ! stern is great !
My prefered guitar player i met in dc at blues alley ! The best for me ! Antonio
Grateful Master Stern...this is very good
If you know the theory, the chords as designated , the modes he actually referring too your really surpassed the point of the video.
The video teaches how to practice , yes, then you surpass the point when your ear is good enough to guide you
Stern, Monster guitarist, personable teacher, super cool cat

The harmony is very static so substitutions are actually very helpful.
One of those guitarist who can play three notes and you’ll know who it is.
Exactly, with metheny the same. He plays one single note and you know its pat
I’m the type of guitarist who can only play 3 notes, but no one ones who I am lol
@@addisonsmith7569 me 1000 notes
Got to admire his commitment to the chorus sound 😄
Mike Stern is BadA$$!!!
Always liked Malcolm Young playing some jazz tunes

I was curious about that myself. to it looks like mr. Stern's hands aren't loose as they used to be.

@@thorstenwiggers2521 He had a fall and broke his right hand quite badly a few years ago.
@@displaychicken Ah, I thought he broke his shoulder. Thanks for the info!
Neat.
I remember Mike at the 1st Panama Jazz Fest. He asked me if I transcribed, which I said yeah, but when I asked him, he said he has books full of them. No wonder he is a master!
If anyone has a link to the pdf for this lesson I would appreciate it.
Excelente músico - dança como um que conheço, ou quem conheço dança com ele?
Didn’t realise just how bad he broke his right hand a couple of years ago , he really must have gone through it
It all makes sense. You just need to know a bit if theory to get it.
@3:11 If "this is very confusing" even for Mike himself, I think I might have a little chance!!
Badd ass Stern!
Un huevo pelao. Thanks.
Do vou knou Nelson Faria. Guitar play from brazil?
Whad he say?
02:00 song?
Does he only use a chorus patch for everything?
👍
The info here is good, but it won't make you a good improviser. Better to break it down into smaller bits of info dealing with motivic development and focusing on the top 4 string.
If Mick Jagger and Emmylou Harris had a child it would look like this
This is why Jazz musicians have no money. No one cares.
There isn't a G7 in autumn leaves though, the melody forbids it
It's a quick secondary dominant back into the first chord, the C min. The melody does not forbid it. Besides, there are plenty non harmonic tones in melodies.
My autumn leafs always have a G7 b9 before going back to the Cm7
It' Jazz dude, playing the wrong notes is fun.
Luv ya Mike , but does that chorus effect have a broken “Off” switch? Oy!
in jazz?
