I’ve been playing guitar for 40 years. I know this and that about jazz... I decided to take the time to learn jazz for good. This guy knows what he is talking about and is a real teacher. I appreciate the quality of these video classes.
To all the jerks who say they're bored because he doesn't play guitar...stop complaining and pay attention, he gives incredible bits of wisdom. Learn to delay gratification for a bit instead of being spoiled brats.
Agreed
spolit* :^)
millball Thanks!
That's the problem with a lot of people... they want to learn something as fast as possible but they don't take the time to LISTEN to someone...
To bad, because i think you learn things much quicker if you do listen to people with experience!! :)
It's one of the downsides to sites like TH-cam. It gives a lot of power to lazy people who can't comprehend legit good advice that can help their playing in the longer term. They most likely do a search, this video comes up, which is part of a whole series, and it doesn't enter their mind, not once, that the lack of actual guitar playing is on purpose.
So, with their five-second attention spans, they give this very good video a downvote. And what a lot of downvotes often tell new viewers: there's something fishy about this video, and it can influence others if enough people vote it down. In this case, more than ten percent of all the votes are negative, which is insane.
On a positive note, what are the chances that any of these ungrateful people will have the patience and dedication necessary to learn an actual jazz standard, not to mention several, and commit them to memory? I reckon those chances are slim at best.
Yes all talking & no playing & every word had great value. This is the conversation that is needed. A broad big picture approach. Well done young man!
One of most useful guitar lesson channels ever.
The best by far.
I've been watching you for years and i've never thanked you. So really, thank you! You're an excellent human
***** Donate to him on his website if you would really like to thank him :)
+Lacchayy Skux don't tell them what to do
+AnalCentipede Perfect example of the heart of hypocrisy. "I'm TELLING you NOT to TELL HIM what to do" bwahahaa!
Sage K i'm telling you to shut the fuck up
original comment does not warrant response Lacchayy Skux you're right though
I like Justin a lot.
You're saving me here, I was so confused by jazz
brilliant, Justin! Thank you so much for probably the best lessen.
Glad to see you expanding your horizons with jazz. I hope younger kids catch on to your jazz teachings. Great advice to learning standards. All of your points hit the nail on the head. You talk about all the things a jazz player should do. Listen, learn, digest, and ultimately forget about it so you can just play.
Absolutely spot on. Especially with the vastness of it. The more you learn the more daunting it gets, not only a huge number of standards to learn but the different keys and feels. I'm sure Justin would agree with me on how difficult it is to become an *accomplished* jazz musician/guitarist. Just when you think you're getting good you'll hear like a Tal Farlow recording of You Stepped Out of a Dream or something and you start to wonder how on earth these players got so good. It's tough to get far in jazz without being put off by the sheer range of possibilies and abilities of some of the greats, the trick is to try to block it out and just focus on learning simple melodies first!
So many people here just not getting that this is How to learn a jazz standard, not how to play some strings to make a song. He teaches you how to teach yourself. Not to mention that you guys really should read the description.
Hi Justin. Just wanted to add my thanks. I’ve been studying with you for several years. Focus has been on the blues and doing the theory course. As I am getting more familiar with altering chords I am beginning to pay more attention to jazz. I really appreciate your ability to inspire
You have helped me greatly. Thank you. Your insights have helped to give clarity to my passion. I have a greater confidence in my playing because of you. THANK YOU!
Looking forward to digging into some jazz tunes. Really helpful stuff here, Justin.
Justin you're the best! Thank you for spreading your knowledge so gracefully and generously!
What a super helpful piece! This the first time I've heard someone explaining jazz guitar. This is a jazz guitar primer that every aspiring player should watch. It seems jazz requires a bit of a commitment. When I think of jazz guitar I think of John Pizzarelli and Graham Decter playing Satin Doll. Thanks Justin!
One of the best jazz guitar lessons I've ever heard. Thanks, Justin!
Very helpful Justin. Thanks for taking the time to explain this important idea. Looking forward to more.
exactly what I was looking for..... thanks. I'm half overwhelmed and half ready to dig in.....
loved the way you chose to explain everything, that convinced me very well to start learning jazz, thank you!
Outstanding lesson. Casual and hasty viewers cannot understand the spirit of your friendly mentoring. But many more of us do.
justin i so glad i found you. this is what i wanted to find
no b.s. with this guy . straight forward and clear.
Can't wait for your approach to these Jazz Standards! This series has been very helpful.
Amazing teacher, so helpful!
This is just what i need! Thank you Justin!
Excellent advice that is too often overlooked. I'm now able to play many standards in jazz chord melody style and paying attention to definitive vocal versions by Sinatra, Mel Torme, Ella, Nat "King" Cole, Johnny Hartman ,Sarah Vaughan and others before coming up with an arrangement was indispensible.. Thanks for all your efforts and patience !
Thank you Justin for this precious insight. You're an awesome man
Loving these Jazz lessons Justin, was really excited for this one
@JustinGuitar your advice is always so helpful!! thank you for a method like this.... greatly appreciated
Great video, Justin... thanks for this. Am excited to dive further into jazz with this series.
Thanks so much, Justin. You're a gifted teacher.
hey justin. always enjoying to see new stuff from you.did i miss JA 006 or did you jumped the number?
Far better with the voice indeed! I somehow thought that Jazz wasn't for me after listening to an instrumental version of "Autumn leaves", but it gets another dimension with a voice over it.
THESE GUY IS A REAL GOOD TEACHER
Wow Justin you really crammed my pea brain with heavy gems to burn away the boredom of this quarantine.Now motiv to restring my dusty harmony archtop Thanks!
Some great advice here! I'm trying to learn Cole Porter and Gershwin standards arranged by Durante....I can read music slowly but the timing and feeling is very dificult....they're not easy tunes. As Justin says, I've found on iTunes people playing their interpretations of these very arrangements, mad if you listen to other versions and vocalists you can adapt the song to your own style and preference. An excellent video. Thanks Justin. 👍
Looking forward to learning Jazz styles - especially with your teaching methods! Great stuff.
Thanks so much for helping me practice more and understand my instrument.
Really looking forward to the next installment. I just learned melody and chords for All the Things Your Are,so will try to apply the things you suggested.
Thanks for the wisdom, Justin 🙏🏻
I completely agree with listening to the vocalists. It is really nice because they don't really embellish the melody at all which helps a lot so you can hear the real melody and not be confused with the extra notes that aren't on the page.
Solid advice as always. Especially your comment Music is about listening, not reading books. Damm, you youngsters watching this, wish you could experience the problems us oldies had trying to learn music when TH-cam did'nt exist.
hi guy, really many thanks for the beautiful and hard work that you're performing
Greetings from the thousand island, Indonesia.
truly appreciate your efforts in teaching beginners like me..
you are an amazing master piece.
you will be most welcome in indonesia
Hi Justin, I just wanted to say a big Thanks for another great video, one of thousands of yours, from which I have learnt so much during the years, you´re the best teacher.
And also, I wanted to say: I hate trying to learn note reading! Its so damn boring!!!
Cheers mate :)
Excellent summary. I will log onto the website and join you in this adventure.
Looking forward to some of your takes on the standards, always enjoy your vids.
Thank you for your lessons !
Justin these videos are timeless thank you
Thanks, dont pay attention to some people here, your doing a good job mate
Great insights! Thank you Justin.
Great tips Justin! One thing you rarely find in a real book is an actual intro....or outtros for that matter. Would be cool to see a segment on coming up with those too....
Great Bro!!!
Thank you so much for sharing your knowledge. When one learns a tune does it make it easier to learn the next tune and will it get easier and easier to learn more tunes? I am stuck on the standard Caravan by Duke Ellington, Irving Mills and Juan Tizol until my instructor tells me I can move on to another standard.
Hi - Lasse from Denmark here. Really appreciate your great videos Justin. Thanks
Hey JustinGuitar, I just watched How To Learn A Jazz Standard - Guitar Lesson - Justin Guitar [JA-007] and thought it was great. I'm looking forward to seeing your next one. Thanks again Rob Summers
Looking forward to the upcoming Jazz Standards lessons!
good advice. I honestly don't get how anyone learns any instrument without also knowing theory and being able to do harmonic analysis, ideally on the fly, knowing the relative chords the first time we hear a song. It makes everything about guitar easier.
your accent has British-ised massively since i last watched one of your vids a few years ago Justin!
This guy really knows what he's talking about
Coming from the background of no formal musical education I think if I did all this it would take me 10 months to learn one song. Can't really put that time in but I still appreciate this lesson!
Really liking this direction. Thanks Justin.
Jazz lessons, finally :)
Thumbs up!
I think you are a great teacher, thank you, very much...
Excellent info. Can't wait to take the journey with you!
I am looking forward to this series!
Thanks Justin. Thanks!
This I fantastic...just what I was looking for. Thanks
Very cool! Nicely done. Thank you.
This is great Justin.
See me attempt various instruments...
This was great
always good lessons
Interesting vid - you speak alot of sense. As a jazz guitarist (of sorts...) I just can't be bothered learning tunes. They just don't mean that much to me, as opposed to just doing my own thing. My dad is quite a trad jazz guitarist but somehow we do meet in the middle. Anyway, at least I can improvise lol...
Justin! Your videos on learning Jazz guitar's been super great. I'm very grateful. But I see that there's no JA-008. Is this a typo problem or did you forget to upload one? Please help!
Damn this was hella useful thank you man
Thank you.
Nice.
Thanks so much.
thanks Justin
Grazie sei un grande un grande insegnante grazie !!!
Good lesson Justin, you are some cool TC.
Talk about jazz and you got it
Great lessons man. Do you teach Night and Day in A minor?
Thank you!
Thank you 🌸🎸
Thanks man
could you tell which real book is the best for a guitarist intermediate
***** would you be able to do a tutorial on learning Neo-soul & Contemporary R &B songs?
GREAT!!!!
Hi Justin . I have to learn a jazz standard for an exam, Which do you recomend ? I recently start playing jazz. I want one no very difficult but no very easy as well.
+DAVID CACERES PALACIOS
Hi David,
If I understood this lesson, it probably doesn't matter which tune, as long as you like it. 'Cause when you get to Justin's later stages of learning (harmonic analysis, solo transcriptions and all the practice options), you could go on forever. So you might as well work on something you like.
Where on your website Do I find the 'Practical music theory book please?
Thank you :)
What guitar is that justin?? Usa reissue or custom shop
good stuff
You're cool man.
ALL YOUR LESSONS ARE GREAT ! ... but how on earth somebody can start study jazz without having listen first?
2 simple words can take the place of almost all theory, music education, chops and nearly everything else. It the most important thing you can do. 2 simple words...LEARN TUNES
Charlie X
hey charlie, I don't hear this from many people. will learning tunes give me the ability to understand what's happening? also, will learning tunes help with my ear training? I really need help with my ears.
Hi justin, Great lesson and one that can be applied to all areas of music really.
I see you mentioned sight reading, any chance you could do a lesson on the best way to approach learning to read as part of this series? I find it hard to read when there is no tab underneath with regard to which Note to play as there are so many different places to play one note. and also how can you decide on the fly if you want to truly learn to sight read so for instance just walking in and playing straight from a chart. and then I find with the tab it's difficult to focus on the fingering and the rhythm at the same time, also trying to find material at the right level and in the right format is a nightmare if you have any tips I think it would make a valuable lesson for anybody attempting to learn to read.
Thanks for all your hard work
Hey, this comes with experience. If you're having this problem, simple solution, play the guitar often and learn the fretboard positions. If you want to progress to the next level, play the guitar often. There is no other way, no magic methods.
Thanks for the reply, I practise for around 4 hrs a day as I'm looking to be a serious musician but when it comes to reading music I'm at a loss on how to approach it, I know the fretboard positions, but really guitar music without tab seems to me to be geared towards classical guitar as standard guitar is so flexible and there are so many options to play one note. I guess some of it will come with time and practise like everything but kind of at a loss with how to approach it to start with,so I'm not trying to do too much or trying to learn to read in a way that is not as efficient or helpful
jon carley I started teaching myself to play when I was about 13. Folks tell me I was lucky I started young, I don't believe that; Passion to learn something is what drives me, not age. All I did was practice from an instructional music book on guitar, a very old one at that. Pretty hard at first, especially with the old guitar I had. My experience over the years is that there is no right way when you start, that's something you discover over time. Nowdays, you have it much easier to access material, not so when I started. As for what positions to use, who cares; I look at the fretboard and I see creative constructs, not blindly following what someone else did. I don't know your level of music theory, but that's one area to build on to get yourself out of the pit of following manufactured music. Also the area where a teacher with a solid music background can assist. I'm lucky that I found one with a university music degree specializing in Jazz.
i appreciate the time youve put into that... but it would be great to maybe explain these aspects on their own with a bit of an example playing. like the real complete basics of jazz because even what youve spoke on sounds like overload. thanks
Hey there, I see what you're saying... the cool thing is that on his website, he literally has like a whole series explaining more specific things like... one by one.
I think what you should do (that's what I'm gonna do haha) is make a list of the things he said here and then looking up either how to do each one (in other videos) or go through his series on his website... or both! haha.
Just trying to help... I think it'll be good :)
Edit: If you look up "JA-001... JA-002... JA-003 etc... I think it's pretty much the walk through these things.
where can i get an ebook?
