Thanks JR .. you have helped me open the door to more of a jazzy melodic feel in my playing. Your chordal explanations are so simple, intuitive and make so much sense that even a dummy like me can benefit from it. :)
Still working my way through your Shades of Blues course. It's been about a year now. Slow progress but the real strength of your teaching is presenting advanced concepts in such a way that mere mortals like me begin to believe we can get there, and, with your help, I'm getting there. Thanks Jack!
Great lesson! I tend to think in terms of going up a minor third from the m7b5 chord and playing a minor arpeggio. For example, in a minor ii/V in Dm, I think of the playing G minor over the Em7b5. Another way to think of it is to play a major 7th arpeggio 1/2 step up from the dominant chord in the minor ii/V. In the above example, it would be BbMaj7 over the A7. These are all basically the same as Jimmy Bruno’s approach as Gm and Bb major are both diatonic to F. Just different ways to look at it to unlock ideas and not get stuck in the same licks. Fantastic video!
Been playing a long time, you have opened up another whole way at looking at my guitar playing you are absolutely a genius thank you so much your lesson such a melodic player.🤟
very happy to hear Jimmy Bruno being referenced in the video! I enjoyed his TH-cam home studio concerts while I had covid, it really helped cheared me up! The concerts at that jazz club where he plays together with Frank Vignola are highly recommended for a listen via YT!
A good video, if you annalyze the A7 9- you can call it phrygian dominant ( the 5 of Dmi minor harmonic) a bes c# d e f g a ( this contains the 9- and 13-). Very good explanation Jack
This is epic. SO much information here. And I love how this has over 7000 views in less than 24 hours. It should be 70k views - if only guitar players out there knew of this treasure! 🙏
I arrived at the same thing on my own, the exact same notes, but I think of it as a D minor scale with the C raised to C# (the 3rd of the V chord), which is D harmonic minor. That’s been my hack for playing over the minor 7b5 chord. Ignore the chord and play over a combination of Dm and A7. The key is a play around with it enough that your ears and fingers learn what notes in the scale sound good with each chord.
When you b5 the II, it makes it like the iv in classical harmony, or like diminished in that schema. Also, I'm playing keyboard along to this, WTF. But the way you mention the actual chord and scale/note names, not just the fretboard shapes, allows for that. My guitar's busted ATM... I'm in a keyboard mood anyway
Hey Jack question, do you ever use melodic minor for your minor 2 5 1. Example being dm7b5 f melodic minor and G7 Ab melodic minor? I only ask because I love your vocabulary used, and was curious if you use this approach in your solos:)
Amazing as always! Would be cool to have a video diving in to full diminished vs half diminished! Often times get them confused and the applications for both.
Great lesson Jack!! Thank you for recommending the Bruno channel, I will check it out. Another great teacher (and player) like you is Alex Farran from England. I would love to see you do something with him like the awesome things you have done with Guthrie Trapp and Brett Pappa!!
Fun fact, Jack: My own personal valve amp is a Vox Bruno! It was collab designed by Vox and Jimmy Bruno. A buddy of mine, who is an extremely famous & successful guitarist used it at a gig one night and he loved it! Anyway, another cool lesson, Jack. If I get back to the US I'll come see one of your gigs and say hi. I'll even book in for a lesson from you. You can tell me how sh!!t I am and fix up my friggin dumbass timing! Ha ha. 🤣

Thanks Jack. This was great motivation for me.
Another top notch lesson Jack!

Jack this lesson is terrific. You make it easy to comprehend something that can be very tough for some.

Jimmy Bruno is hilarious..... spat my coffee all over my bench.
Love your channel and Jimmy Bruno’s,
Great lesson Jack! What year is that SG? Sounds sweet! Thanks for sharing.
When you play the F scale , with a minor third, it sounds like the melodic minor, is it?
A good video, if you annalyze the A7 9- you can call it phrygian dominant ( the 5 of Dmi minor harmonic) a bes c# d e f g a ( this contains the 9- and 13-). Very good explanation Jack
Jimmy it’s wonderful… and, so is Jack👍😁! I love that you always bring the blues to your playing. Nice lesson.
This guy is a first-rate teacher...great stuff!
thanks Jack!! that was a great lesson!! very appreciated!
Love the Jimmy Bruno reference. I saw him play many many times in the early 90’s when I lived in Philly. What an amazing guitarist.
Cool Beans!

Yes absolutely. I did a pretty in depth lesson about that awhile back.
@@JackRuch awesome I’ll go find that one, Thanks for your time:)
The SG is a mighty fine guitar. Awesome playing!
Amazing as always! Would be cool to have a video diving in to full diminished vs half diminished! Often times get them confused and the applications for both.
Just so grateful to learn about stuff I did not even know existed. There are levels for sure Thanks for sharing
This one is going to take some time to digest. Great lesson. Thanks
Way cool Jack! Great post!
Absolutely brilliant!
What a great teacher you are.

Hey Jack, can you elaborate on that reply? Is someone pulling my leg?
