- In this video I go through how I think when it comes to polyphonic baroque improvisation, I don't go in depth on my playing, but I will make more videos that does. Hopefully you make it through the video. This is my first instructional video. not the best english speaker but hope you like it :)

very inspiring to see this video a year after it was published. can't wait to dig in!
Thank you so much sir!
I’ve been watching that Ted Greene video repeatedly for years, endlessly fascinated with the sound. Trying to figure it out. Learning Melodic minor, but not sure how to get closer to that baroque sound.
The 3rds and 6th are unlocking it for me, as well as focusing on harmonic minor. I can’t tell you how happy I am. It’s amazing when you have the right teacher (you) at the right moment, something one has have been banging their head against for years is so simply revealed.
Now this beautiful sound vibration I’m making will spread outward into the entire universe, touching everything in its path. Because of you and Ted. Much love
Thanks to Ted Gerrene and his videos ... how can you spell Greene wrong this way in the titel card (intro) ?
Sorry, I struggle with dyslexia. I always try to check my spelling, but I don't know how I managed to overlook this mistake. I will try to be more careful.
@@johnathanhell5128 I am bad myself with typos. Sorry... but when i see it... and you are thanking the Person which the Video is about, so it should be right. Great Video tho.
If people only knew how valuable this material is... now I understand perfectly. I have the guitar in my hand and ready to study. Hugs and all the best coming directly from Brazil to you. Hellyeah!
Good stuff! Just discovering this channel and there’s some really interesting content. Thank you 🙏
Great lesson and explanations Jonathan. Very glad you are planning on making more lesson videos. Best Wishes - John
I was a little worried that my explanations and talking didn't make sense, i'm extremely happy that you liked it. Thank you John
Fantastic stuff... I'm looking forward to being good enough to play like this eventually - I'm documenting my entire learning journey on here!
Awesome video. One point when you definitely want to "think about chords" instead of intervals - is the ending of your phrases. You usually want to do something like V-I cadence movement, ending on the tonic octave. Having such cadences as a "target" really helps with phrasing when you just starting baroque improv.
I didn't have the best explanation in the video, you are right. even though i think mostly intervals I know when I’m doing a cadence and i know which chord I’m on when i play, and having that in mind is important especially for endings. I can probably make a video on chords, cadences and inversions in a later video. sorry have dyslexia so my writing is not the best, but hope you understand what I’m writing :)
Wonderful, but over most of our heads…maybe go slow and name each chord and frets and why each is being played, what each chord means in the scale and key……great playing and ideas….I will keep trying
Very nice work, thanks for sharing and great playing! Did you use something like Fux for getting examples for exercises, or did you get your start with the Ted Greene videos? Cheers!
Ted Greene was the inspiration for me to delve into counterpoint. Following that, I studied it further through Alan Belkin's videos on species counterpoint. Finally, I utilized Johann Joseph Fux's book. Additionally, I tried to learn and listen to pieces for further inspiration :)
@@johnathanhell5128 Super work, sounds great and it must be satisfying to play. It's very easy to listen to, it's interesting to follow the lines. Thanks again and I'll check out your other videos.
@@johnathanhell5128 Hi again Johnathan, I've watched several of your videos and they're just great, really really super playing. I'd love to explore this playing a bit myself, but of course am overwhelmed with the amount of material. Given that you have already progressed far along the path, I'd like to verify your steps. You started with the "applied counterpoint" videos by Belkin? I'll check those out, thank you. Did you immediately start applying those to guitar? I had Fux at one point but am going to get it again. And I guess you quickly worked out the different chord inversions/opened/closed to get them in your hands, as you said.
@@jz4901 I used Allen Belkin's videos for improvisation exercises for guitar. They are meant for composers to practice writing counterpoint, but I find them excellent for practicing improvisation. You improvise the cantus firmus, then simultaneously try to harmonize the top voice. I can give you a link to a playlist where he goes through 1-5 species counterpoint. th-cam.com/video/yPHC9Zf9s04/w-d-xo.html
Practicing inversions to ingrain them in your musical memory is beneficial, but also practicing intervals and embedding them in your musical memory. Begin with 3rds and 6ths in various positions and stretches, such as 10ths, 13ths, and 17ths. These intervals consist of 3rds and 6ths but with different stretches. Hope this helps, and thank you for watching my videos! ☺
@@johnathanhell5128 Thank you very much, really appreciate you taking the time to help me get started. Cheers!
Beautifully played man, Ted is one of my biggest influences too!
Thank you for this lovely video tutorial. Thank you for being so generous sharing your knowledge and your gift.
I really like the way you teach, everything falls into places 🎼🍻🎼
Great video lesson! Interesting to see how you approach improvisation.
Great stuff, thanks for sharing!
can’t wait to hear about imperfect consonance versus perfect consonance!!
wow!! awesome work Sir!
Fantastic lesson!
Ted Greene has a website with a separate section for baroque improvisation or counterpoint studies. But it's so vast that I get lost, have you ever studied there?
yes, but for me the Ted Greene website was easier to understand when knew the theory about counterpoint, here is a playlist form were i learned it: th-cam.com/video/NMUTN43Kw2A/w-d-xo.html
Oh, you are incredible. I will watch these classes and start putting them into practice on Tuesdays and Fridays as you indicate in the video. Here in Brazil things are a little difficult for me, but as soon as I have the conditions I would like to be your student if possible, the future awaits us. Hugs master.

Thank you man
Thank you so much man for this lesson. We need more lessons like tnis.
i'm really glad you liked it, i will try to upload the lessons more regularly :)
@@johnathanhell5128 Yes please, it's your responsibility to teach people about this after Ted. It's like you are taking the reigns now.
Love it!
thank you sir. what is the structure of the bass lines? do they ever loop or are they an endless flowing line
Thank you for your support! In the video I don't follow any set loops in the bass; I simply let my mind guide me. I'm planning to create a new video soon, featuring a specific bass line, perhaps structured like a paritimento. This video will showcase various options for the top melody line, accompanied by a diagram to show what notes i am playing.
Very cool video, can you put a tab with one example at least? Thx
Thank you. Yes i will do that in my next video :) Im very new to these kind of video so any feedback helps a lot :)
