My current approach: Go through transcriptions of solos you like and isolate what really sounds good to you, the shorter and to-the-point the better. Transpose those phrases in a sequence that sounds good to you.
I do not know how this will work. You will have to ask my great friend Jens Larsen - find him here on TH-cam. If this exercise will benefit anything on guitar except relaxing muscles and get more subtle technique. Good luck with it and have a nice oractice
On day two of my new practice plan I realized that my new goal was certainly better as a wishlist. I want to nail all my Major, dominant, minor, minor 7 b5, fully diminished and major 7 #5 chords (just 1357, no taller) in all keys in every inversion, ascending and descending. With the root movements of circle of 4ths, chromatic, Whole step, minor thirds and major thirds. I feel like once I can do that I can claim to know my 4 note arpeggios. But! That’s a long way off so I’m not letting it hold back any playing or other goals.
@@PracticeMore When I put it all on paper I realized the same haha. It’s something like 250 items in total. Goes to show there’s a life time of study in the simple stuff
I am so glad you say this Nathan. I did this too, exactly what you did. Make a daily practice appointment with yourself. Do technique which is related to what you play at the moment, and make sure you incorporate some of the things. You will see that lots of the material presents itself. Love your comment. Thank you.
@sorenballegaardmusic Thank you for your artistry and insights. You have inspired us with your tone, your playing, your lessons, and your passion. Thank you for a wonderful year of videos (I realize that it’s very time consuming and takes much energy). I wish you health and joy. And, many more rapturous musical moments in 2024 ! -Dr D
There is so much. Where Brecker used lots of chromatic patterns where I learned the chromatic arpeggio approach is from Joe Henderson. He often makes these chromatic passing chords together with Chris Potter. But all three are so Inspirational.
4:24 play in tune. The base jof music; imagine Frank Sinatra or Stevie Wonder singing out of tune. You cannot teach something so out of tune: 1. listen to you 2. play in unisson with a piano on sequencer 3. play slower Forget the stars, and listen to you.

Exactly like Mr. brecekr did.
Amazing method!
great video, as a guitar player I really get a lot out this too!! thx
Thank you so much. Yes music is meant for all instruments. Great that you can use it.
I am going to try that dynamics exercise with guitar, despite how different it may be with a non-wind instrument,.
Same here

That's the longest long-term goal i've ever heard 😂

Thank you so much Dr.D. I will keep at it in 2024 and get even more music going. Love your comments keep em coming.
George Garzone talks about the no tongue thing a lot. I harp on it with my students for sure.
The no tongue thing is something I rediscovered. And true, the timing is in the fingers. This is so important.
Thanks boss
You are very welcome
Play in tune with a metronome and in all keys.
So so so true, just do that, well also be inspired and listen to the music you want to play, and keep doing it :)
Legit 🙏
Thank you
Where did you get the chromatic approach to arpeggios concept, Michael Brecker?
There is so much. Where Brecker used lots of chromatic patterns where I learned the chromatic arpeggio approach is from Joe Henderson. He often makes these chromatic passing chords together with Chris Potter.
But all three are so Inspirational.

You cannot teach something so out of tune:
1. listen to you
2. play in unisson with a piano on sequencer
3. play slower
Forget the stars, and listen to you.
Thank you for the heads up. I like you very encouraging positive pedagogical approach
