I almost turned this video off immediately because the volume seemed low on your mic. Wow am I glad I maxed my volume and watched because it turns out that didn’t really understand how to write/modify chromatic enclosures until you explained it. You’re awesome 🙌🙏
It took a few years for Slaman to deliver that guitar. That was 5 years ago, so not sure what the wait is now. Here is a link to lesson info: www.chriswhitemanmusic.com/guitar-lessons
Great lesson. Have you considered a series of lessons like this for minor, diminished, altered arpeggios, etc. It would make a valuable program to help students. In addition three more ways to do major arpeggios.
Very good lesson. Many lessons get crammed full of too many aspects. This explains each new idea, so that they can be added to a player's "toolbelt". I've learned some great "licks" without the explanation of why it works, but this makes it applicable. You also have a great voice.
When I was young I tried to get a jazz guitar teacher to show me this kind of thing to help make my solos more interesting but he either didn't know how or just refused and wanted me to learn tons of theory that wasn't computing since I'm self taught from records by ear. I can get mileage from simple concepts like this. Thanks and wish I could have found you decades ago!
Thanks you Chris ever so much , that was an invaluable lesson., you have opened up doors for me with those examples, just from that I could hear many jazz lines flooding my brain!!
Hi! In wich context can I use it? Because I usually don't have so many bars on Cmaj7 Should I think in wich chord I am going and may be finish the line in one note of the new chord?
You have managed to cover such a wealth of information into 12 mins! As a former teacher your teaching style is excellent! Comprehensive content, excellent flow of delivery, obviously well planned and easily understood and put into practice at the level for which it was designed......I’m sure these sessions have caused quite a few to consider online private lessons with you! .....Myself included!.....Great work!
That was quite an insightful look at how to demystify the effective use of transforming an arpeggio into a beautiful sounding jazz line. Well explained and all that's needed is practice 👏 can be mastered in about a week. Great lesson 👍 thanks.
Perhaps it's my device but the volume is so low I can barely hear what you are saying. Based on what I can hear the content would be very useful and I hope to see more in the future.
Hey Christ do a lesson on that 8th example you put out in detail demonstrating the mapping of those lines through the blues form with explanation. I know transcribing is the way we are told but sometimes a teacher helps getting a solid foundation on the concept of not over playing to resolve complete statements.
Supper lesson! Just tried the exact same interval patterns with dominant, minor and minor b5 and sounds great. I bet your viewers would love a follow up lesson disguising on those arpeggios but maybe with different front and backload phrases. Thanks!
Chris this is an excellent lesson video! Additionally, I really am fascinated by your guitar in this one, too! I've googled all over the place for information on this guitar, as well as the pickup. Do you know what year the National is? Also, the pickup resembles some Charlie Christian pickups I've seen, but all of them seem to be a bar pickup, rather than the pole pickups illustrated in your video. Would you like to elaborate on this?
This guitar was built for me by the Dutch luthier Daniel Slaman. He calls it a slim sister, which is an offshoot of the sister series guitars he built for Pat Metheny. The pickup is a charlie christian that he modified and tapped for adjustable screws/pole pieces. Hope that answers the questions. Thanks!
Finally! Your break down and explanation of the approach is great. Most jazz musicians go way too fast and leave things out that they assume the student already knows. That was very chill and you didn't leave anything out. Kudos! Looking forward to checking out your other videos.
Chris - I'm new to your channel. I found this lesson to be a very helpful way of augmenting arpeggios. Your presentation style is very easy on the eye and ear. Randall
Thanks, Chris. This is the best explanation and example of how to make a line out of an arpeggio that I've ever seen. You have a real gift for teaching.
Cool!! Thank you! Can you make a lesson to show us how you can connect single lines with chords? I mean in a slow cool jazzy way? Beginner / intermediate kind of? No one really explains this topic and I like your calm way of teaching and your Guitar tone so much :D
Chris, thanks much, I really enjoyed the lesson. I'm 68, started playing at 8, wish technology would have been there back then. Making up for lost time. Thanks again.
I paused it at 3:47 to write this comment: "this is the best music lesson I've ever seen! " looks customized for my level. I'll check your patreon, promised.
the 6 viewers that disliked the video up till now, probably didn't apreciate your hair-cut or the color of your shirt....damn....how could them....ok....you have to know something about theory to understand the content, BUT, in terms of practical approach on Arpeggios and the instantiantion of it into the Jazz Language, this lesson is a life time gainer for introduction AND can be adapted to lots of instruments, as I am doing with my Low G Tenor Ukulele.....Thank You SO MUCH!
I like the way you bring the arpeggio’s to life in this lesson and I found the ‘front’ and ‘back’ loading concept really inspired me to use arpeggio’s in a more creative and musical way- thanks
This was very helpful. I've seen quite a few videos where they tell you to use arpeggios for soloing, but none of them showed how to do it, at least not as clearly as this video. Examples 7 through 11 really sounded like bebop lines. I am going to try this approach. Again, thanks for posting this.
Hi, I really enjoy the gems you share with us. It would be great if you could upload more of your live performances. Your playing is spectacular! I wonder how many guitars you have.....
Fantastic playing and teaching Chris ! How about taking the line you just composed and then demonstrating how you would connect it to an ensuing line over the next chord change. Perhaps you already have something like that on your Patreon? Ill check it out
Thank you for the lesson! to my ears, it seems to me that the last phrase may sound over 2-5-1 ... (?) Tell me what, in your opinion, should you spend more time in practice: composing your own lines "out of your head" (for example, using arpeggios) or studying phrases of other musicians? thanks ... and it would be great if you added the ability to use subtitles (for those who don't understand English well by ear)
Thanks Chris, a bit of inspiration from you was much needed and always a blessing to us all. That guitar is looking shiny and sounding sweet, sweet, sweet.
A nice lesson but i hope your ok with my comment.. A C Drop 3 M7 arpeggio/chord starts on a the Maj7 note, which in this case is B, (BCEG) you've built your lesson on a Root position M7 arpeggio/chord, (CEGB) not so confusing we may think, until a Band Leader says "i want everyone to improvise using a CM7 drop 3 arpeggio/chord" that could cause a few problems, i think this is quite important to get this part correct. This is only my take on this, please let me know if i'm wrong. Keep on teaching us. Thanks Howard
Hi Howard, Drop 3 is an arranging term used to describe the chord voicing. It does not refer to the inversion. There is a root position (which I used), 1st inv, 2nd inv, and 3rd inv drop 3 voicing. th-cam.com/video/YIyaNVe0SH0/w-d-xo.html
Great content! Thanks for sharing Chris. The only thing is that your voice is so low, that I can barely hear even with the highest volume of my laptop.
Fantastic, Chris! I sent this along to Slaughter and he said to tell you you are in big trouble....he says he now actually knows 4 and 1/2 jazz chords and to Watch OUT!!! EeeeeeeeeHaaaaaa! Hope you guys are great!! The usual to the usual recipients!
I am struggling to emerge out of being an intermediate player and am often drawn to lessons like this but only get half way through-But I got this ! Very useful , clear and accessible thank you
Really excellent lesson! Immediately useful and practical information. A good reminder that we're creating music not just running through arpeggios. I don't see a way to make a one time donation.
Definitely one of the easier to follow lesson than many others. The arppegios application is unpacked. There are so many gems in this lesson. Yes. Very useful.
Brilliant lesson thanks his has got through to me it’s the building blocks for making lines rather than just the lines themselves, also lovely guitar tone too ;)
I almost turned this video off immediately because the volume seemed low on your mic. Wow am I glad I maxed my volume and watched because it turns out that didn’t really understand how to write/modify chromatic enclosures until you explained it. You’re awesome 🙌🙏

Do you offer Skype lessons?

dude your long video is just pure Gold.
can't thank you enough for these contents.
Glad you like them!
Chris Pontuis has calmed down a bit after his days in Jackass!
HA!!!!!
its not funny tho
The best arpeggio into a line lesson I've seen, and I've been looking!! Great tone too!
Thank you
This is so simple and obvious once you know the approach but it will change my practising for good!
No one breaks down the mystery of jazz improvisation like you Chris. Thanks for sharing your knowledge and patience with the Jazz community.
Thank you Steve!
im a little bit more advanced than this and im fluent in playing the arpeggios melodically. do you guys know any other lesson that helps me further?
Great lesson. Have you considered a series of lessons like this for minor, diminished, altered arpeggios, etc. It would make a valuable program to help students. In addition three more ways to do major arpeggios.
Thank Bob, and great suggestion!
Lovely video Chris, thanks so much.

First time here!...Loved the tone on your guitar, right off!... Immediately....subscribed! :)
Thank you very much!
Excellent exercises that can be easily turned in to music. I am perplexed as to why your videos dont have hundreds ot thousands of views.
Thank you!
Superb teaching techniques: outline; sequential structure; modelling with an explanation.
High quality content. Thank you.
Thanks Geoff
Thanks you Chris ever so much , that was an invaluable lesson., you have opened up doors for me with those examples, just from that I could hear many jazz lines flooding my brain!!
Glad it was helpful!
It’s a gift when the lessons that you think least apply to your style of playing, teach you the most, thanks so much.
Great to hear this Steve! Thank you
Hi! In wich context can I use it? Because I usually don't have so many bars on Cmaj7 Should I think in wich chord I am going and may be finish the line in one note of the new chord?
Think of this as a concept and not as a lick you plug in. You can shorten the arpeggio or lengthen it, or connect it to another arpeggio.
Simple, but very useful. Thanks!
Thank you 🙏🏻

Excellent look at what can be done with arpeggios - great stuff Chris 🇬🇧!
Thank you Rick
Nice little examples to work with and expand on
Thanks! 😃

I know transcribing is the way we are told but sometimes a teacher helps getting a solid foundation on the concept of not over playing to resolve complete statements.
Great suggestion!
Thank you so much for such beautifully explained lesson.. love from India... ( what or why those 3 screws on your guitar top just below the pickup???)
Thank you. They are the mounting screws for the Charlie Christian pickup
Fantastic lesson! Thank you, and well done!
Thank you!
Question… why does it sound so good to resolve that line on the 6th?
Just a different color. Maybe a bit less predictable
Supper lesson! Just tried the exact same interval patterns with dominant, minor and minor b5 and sounds great. I bet your viewers would love a follow up lesson disguising on those arpeggios but maybe with different front and backload phrases. Thanks!

Thank you
Excellent lesson
Thank you so much
Thank you Salim 😊
Man, this is great. Just subbed.
Awesome, thank you!
Just curious as to the brand of guitar that you're playing demonstrating arpeggios?
Hi Ron, it is a guitar that was built for me by the Dutch luthier Daniel Slaman. www.newvintageguitars.com/
The guitar displays a deep rich sound. Can you find that richness of sound from a Palen, Es 175 or imperial Peerless? Thank you.
I recently struggled with this musical issue. This lesson helped me find a solution. Thanks Chris!
Fantastic!
you have really good content here, i appreciate much
Glad you enjoy it!
Very good....Thanks so much
Most welcome
Beautifully and clearly produced lesson. How does one handle shorter phrases in Cmaj7?
Thanks Jerry. You can remove any part of the line, or change the rhythmic value to shorter lengths like triplets or 16's
great LESSON DO YOU HAVE A BOOK
Thank you! not yet, but hopefully by the fall
Thank you Chris! Straight out of Wes Montgomery’s play book. I love it!
Thanks Tom
Thanks, Chris. This is the best explanation and example of how to make a line out of an arpeggio that I've ever seen. You have a real gift for teaching.
Thank you Phil
Great lesson and great tone, too. What brand and gauge strings do you use?
Thank you! D'Addario EXL115 XL Nickel Wound Electric Guitar Strings, but I bump the E&B up to a .013 & .015
@@ChrisWhitemanGuitar Nice. D'Addario are my favorites. Your videos are great Chris. Keep them coming. :)
Thank you. That was very practical, melodic and helpful. I will get to practicing!
Wonderful!
Please how can I join jazz community sir, help me sir

Glad to hear!
Great lesson thank you
My pleasure!
Really nice breakdown of often overlooked building blocks. Thanks Chris!
Thank you Joe
it's also the rhythm of how you play the arpeggio that makes it sound jazzy
yep, rhythm is probably the most important aspect for something to sound jazzy. It has to swing
Thank-you!!!
You're welcome!
Beautifully constructed Chris and graphically portrayed. Thank you for your love and generosity.
