1:33 🤣🤣🤣 Man, nerd or not, you're the best I've found among dozens here on TH-cam. Smart, clear, humble, precise, funny... As a piano teacher myself, more classic and pop oriented, I've been struggling lately trying to get into this stuff. So glad I found your channel ! Hight quality content !!!
This is just about the ONLY tutorial video on the whole of youtube which discusses the absolutely critical topic of space/rest notes... The tend these days, is towards guitar 'shredding' which I hate with a passion, and generally over playing on all instruments...
Great Video, man! I like the exercises you're giving and how you demonstrated them as well. Many youtube videos on jazztheory also have a bad balance of talking and playing :D (yours is perfect regarding this - keep up this great work) (also nice phrasing dude :D)
Max Hobohm thank you my friend. Please let me know if there are other topics u would like me to discuss. I have a lot on my list of videos to make but it’s always cool to know what people actually are interested in and curious about. Thanks for checking out my channel!!
Im glad you liked it man! Please let me know if there's any specific stuff you would like to hear me talk about in these videos, and thank you for checking it out!
Man, I'm tempted to binge watch these lessons. I can use the space to decide where to go next. Motivic development, Starting points and Space.......Great ideas to develop into my playing.
Great! In deed, these are all detrimental concepts to our playing and they all exist in EVERYONE'S playing, whether they are aware of it or not. Kind of like the flu and germs existed thousands of years before we knew they do, and people just had no idea what was happening and why they cough for 7 weeks.. and some even died from having a cold because they didn't know what was REALLY happening inside their bodies. But it was happening inside their bodies nonetheless, and only when they figured out EXACTLY WHAT was happening in their bodies (germs, etc) were they able to gain REAL CONTROL over it. I feel like playing is the same way. Sure, lot of it is a matter of taste and preference and is subjective, but at the same time - there are REAL OBJECTIVE ISSUES people have in their playing, issues that can be figured out with measurable parameters, figured out, addressed and improved. Not leaving space in your playing is NOT a matter of taste, not having motivic development in your playing is not a matter of preference, not ever using any whole notes or half notes in the solo is not a feature, its a bug. These are all objective things that are worth looking into, because they all exist in our playing whether we are aware of them or not. And the only way to take control of them and improve them is to realize that they are real and exist in every solo of every player, just like the germs are real and its best to understand them and invent antibiotics so it can finally be helped. This is how Hal Crook taught his students, this is also what I'm trying to do in my videos here. If you haven't figured - I feel pretty strongly about this 😅
Hello Ruslan, thank's for your comment. I personal have a topic how to analyze, for example, a standard and how to improvise. (keysignature, 2-5-1, chord progression, etc) Kind regards, Ron
Breugelmannetjes yea I’m gonna get into some ways of familiarizing ourselves with the changes of a tune! I think that’s important and is always relevant, since there’s always some new music we have to learn for something :)
Breugelmannetjes thank you very much!!! If there’s any specific topic you would like me to address and talk about. Please tell me! I’m always curious what people find useful :) Cheers!!
Another great video! Sometimes tho when İ do this İ think the listeners will get bored of waiting for the next line(s) and will lose interest & start to play more: is there something as playing too little?
In principle, of course there's such a thing as playing too little. Though, if you're like most people, you have a higher chance to get pregnant as a man than dealing with THAT problem in your playing :) We train ourselves to identify in real time when too much is too much, and when too little is too little. Who are some of your favorite improvisers?
Too many to sum up, but mostly the guys that play more 'relaxed' with fewer notes (miles?), the cool (or some modal) playing matches my personality more than the bebop shredders
This channel is amazing, such important things addressed in a straightforward way. Thank you and keep up the good work!
Juliana Silveira thank you for the encouragement! I really appreciate your words!

Thank you, very inspiring.
This concept is awesome! It made me think in a visual way about space and rest, a somehow abstract concept! Thank you for sharing!!

Been thinking about this a lot recently, I think Bob Reynolds is particularly great at letting his solos breathe.

Great stuff Ruslan. I also enjoy it as a bass player. Keep going.You make it understandable.

Good stuff, man. Thanks and keep it up!
