1.) you’re amazing. 2.) there are so many jazz concepts i don’t know. 3.) i need to study. Whether that’s lessons or books, i gotta keep learning.

I guess I'll excerpt nr 3. My girlfriend always complain on me resolving too fast :(

[@parkerpolen]

THAT LINE THAT YOU PLAYED AT 7.6 SECONDS 😱😱

[@malgid5711]

Yeah my that caught my ear too

[@joseantoniogarcia-rojo7531]

When you use melodic cells, in what context do you decide to use 1-2-3-5 or 1-2-5-6.
Thanks for your help Cecil

[@chipwatson5901]

Thanks for posting. I was wondering why you used the #11 in the B MAJ arpeggio off the 5th (F# MAJ 7). The other arpeggios seem to be diatonic.

[@Debsquall]

Because the diatonic arpeggio starting on F# would contain an E natural, which wouldn't represent Bmaj7 properly. The raised fourth sounds better than the natural fourth in the context of a major I-chord arpeggio.

[@lawrencecollins3190]

Just discovered you, very 2:04 good so far. Will be checking you out in the near future.....

[@pangeaproxima3681]
