Welcome back sir.
I really missed your lessons.

[@fekkyb]

Made sense.
But truth is LEARN TO PLAY INSIDE REALLY WELL FIRST. ✨🙂👍🏼💫

[@michaelbarker6460]

Exactly. I've always said playing a good melodic Rhythm Changes is going to test a jazz musician a lot more than something like Giant Steps. One of those you have to really know what you're doing. The other one you can basically do whatever.

Thank you so much sir 🙏❤❤❤❤❤

[@smittyj8054]

This works, folks! Partially as a joke last year, i learned "Baby Shark" and applied it to SO MANY tunes and solos. It surprised me and got everyones attention. Even got tipped. 🤦🏻🤣 THIS IS A MICRO MASTERCLASS!!

Always such a great teacher! 👍

[@andyk3451]

Glad to see you are back 😀

[@brandex2011]

Great stuff, Ruslan - as usual. Than you for being so generous.

I've heard Mehldau describe it in a similar way as well. I still find myself needing more time on the inside the changes part, but will on occasion dip outside if the moment seems right.
Good video!

[@smittyj8054]

Hello friend! Would you kindly provide a link (video or texts) for this? Big fan of Mehldau as well! This was a great mini course, and Mr. Sirota delivered fantastic explanations!

[@gitarmats]

@@smittyj8054 I think it was in an old clip on TH-cam called Brad Mehldau masterclass.

[@smittyj8054]

@@gitarmats THANK YOU!!! Found it! ❤️💯🙏

[@citizencain454]

I think it all happened when we all heard what John Coltrane said. And then we thought, I've got to know what this is all about! Me personally, I'm still trying to play inside the changes.

[@samuelbrown434]

What I learned from this short little snippet is that any strong melody will sound good over any power chord.

[@normalizedaudio2481]

People say my outside notes are "angry." I'm a nice person. I am not angry.

[@l.a.s8274]

Best teacher on yt

[@brandex2011]

Especially if you're a pianist. As a guitarist, I really appreciate Ruslan's approach to teaching. Guitarist Chris Whiteman has a similar approach.

[@fabiancosster2992]

Thank you after many years wellcome

[@Miroslav-guitar]
