Most if not all of the comments that are negative, or misinformed about Grant Green are most likely from people who are mediocre players or no players. Grant Green was guitar genius of his genre.
Hey Adam, what software are you using?
I grew up with this Lp. … like 45 plus years ago ;) Thank you for bringing it up! One of the very best ever. Yusuf Lateef is beautiful as ever on this record too. And then there’s his Lp Feelin’ The Spirit. Yes I’m one of those who feel that GG is one of the most awesome and melodic, and overlooked Masters of this music 🖖🏽 Thanks again.
I love Grant Green, it always kind of sounded a little like Morse code to me , super hip, when he gets so sparse with it, and that amp is unbelievably clean and clear ,he's the man
Sweet! Guitarists represent! In all seriousness, love your work Adam. Thanks for the super content!
Transcribing is hard enough, which makes these guided sessions invaluable for folks like me. Would love to see more guitar!
Yes, and with the PDF (at least) in guitar range. I was doing fine until I hit measure 21 and realized this was for piano and not "8va" for guitar. Now I have to start all over again!
Holy cow! Thanks for posting this and going through the analysis.....super cool!
Grant Green content gets an instant like. With all my guitar friends, I've been flying solo on Grant Green content for 20+ years. Now there's so much good stuff on here and Spotify lately. Diggin' deeper into him all over again.
Even Wes said it, Grant Green has the best phrasing when talking about jazz guitar, amazing player
One of the Blue Note session stallions. Also, a trailblazer in the exploration of 50s/60s jazz guitar. Between him and Kenny Burrell, Blue Note set the standard for post big-band era, small ensemble tracks, punctuated with that driving arch-top body rhythm guitar. Truly one of the Giants of Jazz.
awesome lesson and playing.
i'm a guitar player and (try to) copy piano players. it's nice to hear guitar lines played on piano. sounds great.
Adam you have always had a knack for choosing artists/solos that really resonate with my tastes, but that I might have missed otherwise. There is so much to love in this solo, and I appreciate and agree with the insight about it’s “perfect balance” of styles. Thank you!
Grant greens first albums is the best bridge into jazz. Funk blues pop. Not all trashy bebop worm holes, just straight groove.
The strange thing for me is I did sleep on Grant Green. I did know of him. In my early years I got my mind blown by Wes, George Benson, Joe Pass and Pat Martino. I liked Kenny Burrell too, he was easier to understand... If you listen to Grant expecting something you will miss it. His phrasing and pacing is pure. I just put his library on shuffle and am constantly pleased.
Love it. Speaking as a relative jazz newbie, I find Grant Green really interesting and accessible - And as you say, the balance of blues and bebop is brilliant.
Grant Green is 👑
...........Grant Green.......one of the Jazz guitar giants........thank you for the well deserved tribute.......
What program are you using to go back a couple measures?
Adam, i am so excited to see you highlight Grant Green. One of my favorite jazz guitar players. His version of Idle Moments was one of the first jazz songs I learned to play in guitar.
Great one Adam, really like these, definitely helps. Love the phrase break out practice too
Strait forward perfect no tricks pure inspiration. What else can you say!
Really strange that the PDF in the link is pretty different from what’s being shown in the video. :/
A small rebus : Grant Green played his horn like Charlie Parker did, but he disguised it as a guitar.
Don’t sleep on yo’ home boy Grant Green playing with the legendary Sonny Clark - Grant Green “The Quartets”
Thanks Adam, This is just what I need help with, Do you have one on rhythm changes please? I am doing your magic voicings course at the moment.
🔥 🔥 🔥
By the way it’s Brother Jack McDuff - organ
Al Harewood - drums
Ben Tucker - bass
recorded 60 years ago earlier this month
Cool stuff but too stupid to find it …… what’s the name of the record / tune
It’s Baby Face Willette on organ & Baby Face Willette’s left hand on bass.
@@JK-yy4tb this is Ms Ann's Tempo from Grant's First Stand
Nice! I happen to be working on this solo right now. This will be really helpful to me.
Adam, you're such a legend, as a pianist I've learned so much from you. Cheers from México!
All the guitar players… where the numbers at

This is great ! Grant is one of my favourite guitarist . Up my street ! Thanks
Alguém traduz isso por favor!
Amazing phrasing and statements in the solo
Fascinating to see a master musician analyse another and make it look so easy!
So glad you dove into this great solo. Thanks!
That opening riff, and played throughout, Bb Cm C#dim Bb is that thing you taught awhile back about a chord resolving on itself - I remembered that and use it! You and Peter also did a half-hour or so on the Blues Scale and some derivatives - the best thing I remembered about that one is that you can also move up to the fifth and play the blues scale from the fifth, but not changing the root chord progression - a good way to add some easy alteration. Great stuff and I tune in to your show frequently. But maybe a little chiding here, about the blues scale: It seems to me that the basic "Blues Scale" is a very real and solid thing, so, please tell me: why the little bit of doubt tossed in whenever "The Blues Scale" is mentioned? (18:28)Those six notes are a powerful tool to get someone improvising - right away! Three chords and six notes is the first thing I teach to someone and have witnessed miracles! (Endless thanks for a great show!)
PS, I'm 78, have been studying jazz/blues piano for about 7 years now - a great way to live out my life... Hope you never remove these tutorials, I keep coming back to them. What a treasure!
saludos de parte de raul rico bass desde mexico
Great lesson. Thanks!
Thanks !!!!

Just in the last two or three weeks I've heard the same GG tune played on Harvard's morning jazz show. It's a blues, and he plays the same three-note lick over an entire chorus. It was a time when certain jazz musicians were dumbing down to try to get into the pop/R&B market - see Watermelon Man. I don't begrudge a guy trying to make a buck, but as music it's just painful. I've heard better from the guy, but I'd never seek oiut his recordings.
Their producers were. See, 4 ex, Mogie s SIDEWIND3R - the biggest hb hit evuuhhh, a boogaloo
I'm a guitarist and Mr Grant Green he made bebop easier for me. Such a genius
I call that the sayonara lick 13:45
