Back again . Listened to it all and starting it all over. Thank you so much for this . His chordal meanderings are so amazing on their own. Any isolated chord is not so crazy on its own ( hints of ted Greene modern progressions and van Epps - just good solid chords ), but it’s where they come from and where they go to that’s so marvelous and how the melody that is improvised dictates things - that awareness of top voice ,,and all these trapdoors to anywhere are possible . So beautiful
I'll never forget the first time I heard this, the stride playing on These Foolish Things (15:30). It was 2010 I think. My whole world changed. Those few minutes of playing, and his subsequent verbal explanation of passing chords in between Eb C7 Fm and Bb completely reshaped my approach to - and understanding of - both jazz and the guitar. I still shake my head every time I hear it. The fact that he f*cks up entering the bridge, and that he speeds up quite a bit by the time he reaches the head out is the only consolation that he's human 😂.
Oh man!!! That’s fantastic. It was this particular masterclass? It was absolutely mind blowing for me when I was there and I was still a noob. Shattered my perspective in the best way.
Mats Moland Træen Unfortunately from what I’ve seen, he never pursued it much further. There is something on his site about it saying it’s been delayed permanently or something.
@@DanielSeriffMusic he's been writing eBooks to go along with his masterclasses. He just said in an interview, that for the masterclass on composition it's like 40 pages long.
26:14 on "How to get successful"....I've never heard an audience break into applause for such a profoundly depressing statement, delivered in such a timid and unconfident way. LOL love Kurt. But you could literally have used that as a British comedy sketch

You are a hero for this. I keep coming back to this video for inspiration and your time stamps are just so helpful
I just caught myself returning again to this one . Sometimes I lie down , like Lebowski listening to “ Venice beach playoffs 1987”
This one is amazing.
Man along with everything else his turnarounds are incredible 19:18-19:23 geezzzz

Man, he’s so incredible. Thanks for your comment
1:21:20 - Kurt's thoughts on practicing.
He is the man. So articulate.
Seeing and hearing his trio this friday. Cant wait.
Oh man! In for a treat.
Saw him maybe two years ago at the Vangaurd, he had a killer band, it was so good it was uncomfortable
Yes. Totally insane
Thanks to post this masterclass!
Thanks for listening. Kurt is incredible.
Genial! Muchas Gracias Daniel!

Saw him live last week, he is unreal
No doubt! Most influential jazz guitarist of the last 30 years imho.
Thanks for the upload!
Realising that he further got WAY better than he was at that time is just mindblowing
You are welcome...and totally right. It's been amazing to seem him progress as an artist.
Can you elaborate a bit on his subsequent improvements?
Amazing!!
So great
wow. thank you
So glad you dug it. Best masterclass I’ve ever been to.

?Is he playing a nylon string guitar
Ofir Noy yes, he said it was a godin nylon, I believe it’s a multiac model
Yes
Any one still have a video where he did a clinic in gdansk? all of the vids got deleted from youtube :'(
I am looking for it also. It's a great workshop with excellent practice ideas and wonderful performances!
Here's one of his clinics but I'm not sure if it is the one you were looking for:

What's the first solo tune?
It's Billy Strayhorn composition from 1941 called "Chelsea Bridge"
Chelsea bridge
