    One of my biggest breakthroughs playing jazz was learning standards like "Take The A Train" and "Blue Bossa"
    The more standards you learn, the better you get.

    • @missioncreekfarm7715
      @missioncreekfarm7715 2 ปีที่แล้ว +36

      Yes indeed. They become 'standards' because they tend to embody the tonality and flow of the genre. So when you learn the standards, you immerse yourself in the core of the genre. After that... wow.

    I just spent about 40 min watching this 21 min video, with lot's of "rewinds", being sure I understood the chords and the progression. I felt compelled to write with a thank you. I found your pacing, your casual relaxed tone, and the step by step progression from "level 1" to "level 7" to be great. I played along throughout, taking breaks to write down all the chords and labeling each note and its position in the scale on my paper, for full comprehension. Thank you for a great lesson!

    I love how much the melodies resolve to the next chord, and the way the jazzy melody resolution is both aurally predictable, but feels surprising when it is in context. Very neat way to take a C major scale, and providing all that color by moving through the progression. Thanks for the collab, I really enjoyed the banter and easy way you unpacked some very complex concepts that make it sound so simple when slowed down and explained.

    I love the dude from music theory for guitar, and Jens Larsen provides great resources, but nobody can break down ideas and make them digestible like Paul Davids. The perfect example was all the comments I saw on Rick Beato's compression video about being just as totally confused after watching the video as they were beforehand.

    Hey Paul. I'm a huge fan. I've been following your channel for years (I remember when you and my good friend Ry Naylor each had around 30k subs) and it's amazing where you've taken the channel. Besides the consistently amazing playing and video topics, you've evolved into by far the best filmmaker on youtube. I'm a professional guitarist and youtuber based in Atlanta and your videos always set a new benchmark for cinematography and color. I was so excited when I saw this video come through this morning. I just started taking jazz lessons from Dave Stryker (after 25 years of playing I want to realize my dream of being able to hang on the bandstand with a jazz combo). Anyway, I just wanted to thank you for all of your brilliant videos. You've been a huge influence and it's great to see you have all the success that you so richly deserve. Take care. -Mark

    Just Wooooow! Really, I've been dreaming about lessons like this for years now. All those jazz theory books don't show you the vibe you need to play jazz. But seeing you both and talking about creating melodies, that really inspires a lot. Thank you so much Paul and Rotem.

    You have to have Rotem on again! I have honestly watched this video multiple times a day for weeks; the sound is amazing. This tutorial feels like listening to music as I normally would from Spotify or Apple Music, only better as I can witness and appreciate the character of the artists. Excellent work man.

    Jazz Guitar is definitely not the easiest guitar style, but it can always be achieved! It's also very fundamental in learning theory to compose music more articulative.

    Rotem is so good that he makes it looks like so simple if we see it from his POV. By any means, it is not simple at all but that's how good Rotem is to carry a peasant like me and show the beautiful mystery of Jazz.
