Love these ideas and approaches! I can tell you sing everything that comes out of your instrument-- it's so rhythmic and musical!! Your Instagram videos are fantastic. This longer video format on TH-cam is a real treat. Thanks for putting this together. Would love a more in depth video on Count Basie ideas, if possible.
@@williede7887 Thanks so much for your encouraging words, I appreciate it! I would LOVE to do a video about Count Basie ideas - that’s a topic that’s fascinating to me. Thanks for your feedback!
@@carterwilkinson5618 Thanks so much Carter! TH-cam definitely lets me me longer videos. I’m planning to make many more videos like this, and hopefully to create value for people. I appreciate you following me over here!
@@randallrothenberg9798 This is really kind of you to say. I’m so glad it’s useful! I just did another video today about voicings which I’ll put out soon. Thank you!
@ I listened last night to many of your videos going back 9 years, and my takeaway was “what a gifted musician!” The “All Of Me” video made me think “gifted” in terms of harmonic thinking - but then I saw your Parker (?) duet with yourself, and I thought, wow, gifted rhythmically too. Selfishly, I’d love to see you post more like the “All Of Me” vid, just stream of consciousness describing what you’re doing on a single standard.
@ I really enjoyed this format and found that I had a lot to say. I do think I’ll do more videos just talking about how I approach certain tunes and as you say, taking a “stream of consciousness” approach. I appreciate this feedback!
Love this! This is a very helpful type of lesson for me and I suspect for many others. I find that working on concepts in the context of a tune is my favorite way to practice and teach.
I bet you're a great in person teacher. Wish i could find one like you, everyone i find just seems to be someone who shreds and does a bunch of finger tapping
@@vinisilva_guitar Chord voicings are a big subject and I hope to have a few videos on that topic in the near future. Working on one right now in fact!
This is gonna be an awesome series! We all wanna know what goes through the heads of the pros! Are there any books you worked through that had a huge impact on your voicing vocabulary? Transcribing of course is primo! Thanks, Paul!
I think the book that turned my head around the most was Walt Weiskopf’s “intervallic improvisation”, but that was for lines, not voicings. I appreciate the comment!
Hi Paul, D7? at 6:51. Love you playing only sixths + thirds. Ive been trying for years (+ years) to construct melodic lines with sliding/slurring double stops (kind of what imo makes guitar special), any thoughts on how to develop this?
Playing double stops can lead you into unusual positions and fingerings, for sure! I’d say that practicing all intervals from 2nds to 7ths, and moving them through scale patterns both vertically and horizontally on the neck, is good preparation for using them in musical situations. 👍
Thanks, thats a pretty down to earth way to proceed. Love to see/hear you do more of this doublenote stuff and preferably played very slowly. This in relation to the statement of the main character in the series 'the BigBang Theory': jazz is trying to play all notes at once... Groeten! Arjen

Great approach! It's good not to take the serious stuff too seriously, lovely sound and ideas and a lot of fun. Thanks 😊
Finally , someone with something to say beyond the 2 - 5 - 1 progression , thankyou

This is like a firehouse of fascinating ideas. I think I can watch this 25 times and continue get value from your teaching.

Thanks for some really nice chord voicing ideas! Some stretching but worth it. Love Johnny Smith ✌️
It’s interesting to see what voicings are possible if we can open up our hands a little. Thanks so much for watching!
Fantastic lesson! I loved that! :)
