    Fantastic lesson Jack! I'm working through your Truefire course right now and the sections on the functioning dominant chords, V to I cadences (real game changer for me) and the altered dominant sections are pure gold! I'm slow going through those since it's very new to me but it's changed a lot for my playing. The diminished arpeggios are a real ear catcher when you throw them in. Great stuff 🤘

    This is so cool . Do you study ' jazzstandards' also ? If so , is your approach to playing standards simular as in playing a jazzblues ?

    • @JackRuch
      @JackRuch  2 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      Yeah, obviously there's other scales and concepts that come it to play with different chord changes. But overall my approach is similar.

    Hey jack I was wondering how you get us a killer tone! Is it the uad box/ amp? Such clarity!

    • @JackRuch
      @JackRuch  2 ปีที่แล้ว

      The ox box definitely helps me crank up the amp with out having to be too loud in the room, and the cabinet simulations sound really great. Also the headstrong amp I use is a really great amp.

  • @6string697
    @6string697 2 ปีที่แล้ว

    Hi Jack. Would the solo work over a straight 1 4 5 or do you need to have those extra chords in the progression to make the solo work. Pure monumental playing.

    • @JackRuch
      @JackRuch  2 ปีที่แล้ว

      No you would need the chord changes there. These lines don't quite fit over a regular 1-4-5

  • @jerrywilson4371
    @jerrywilson4371 2 ปีที่แล้ว +2

    Hey Jack you're a really great player. I'm curious, do you play and then use your knowledge of theory to explain what you played or are you truly pre-thinking about moving to the 3rd of the n3xt chord and then playing a certain scale, you know what I mean, aware of every note that's played? It's impressive either way

    • @nikhilfranco7241
      @nikhilfranco7241 2 ปีที่แล้ว

      With how much experience he has playing its likely the former

    • @JackRuch
      @JackRuch  2 ปีที่แล้ว +3

      When I'm playing I'm usually following my ear and playing the things I hear. I'm not really thinking about any theory. But when I practice, I will sit down and really focus in on specific ideas, note choices and theory concepts. Then that stuff comes out when I'm just playing.

  • @eliefourti
    @eliefourti 2 ปีที่แล้ว

    Hi Jack, ideally like all of your videos -.Have one question please: I did not understand the choice of D diminished over th B flat ?
    Can you please explain it to me ?
    Thanks a lot

    • @JackRuch
      @JackRuch  2 ปีที่แล้ว +3

      D diminished is the upper extension triad of Bb7. The notes D, F, and Ab are the 3rd, 5th and b7th of Bb7. They're also the notes of a D diminished triad.

    Do you essentially just play the arpeggio of the chord you’re playing over typically.

  • @jpmagoots1241
    @jpmagoots1241 2 ปีที่แล้ว

    I like your playing and teaching style, but mostly I like that you teach what I want to play - jump, swing, and jazz blues. Unlike many other teachers, you name the note and/or interval, but NOT the string & fret (tablature). Before I sign up for your Patreon, I have a question. I hear you say the solos from your lessons are tabbed out on the Patreon page. Do you also provide the solos written out in standard musical notation? I refuse to look at any more tabs because I consider them a detriment to learning. Thank you!

    • @stevengrinold3203

  • @delpanos
    @delpanos 2 ปีที่แล้ว

    a thought provoking lesson, just one question: why over the IV chord F7 we play a A diminished arpeggio (or C dim. or Eb dim. or F# dim. for that matter)? It sounds absolutely fine, though I would expect a F7 arpeggio to be chosen. I am not adept in theory so the reason we choose that A dim. escapes me.

    • @reinh
      @reinh 2 ปีที่แล้ว

      The IV of Bb is Eb. The #IVdim7 (or its inversion, Idim7) can function as a sub for the IV (Edim7 is a rootless Eb7b9) and/or as an auxiliary diminished (Idim7 for I). As such it is a common sub for the I in the 2nd bar (I7 | Idim7 | I7 | I7 a la Robert Johnson) or as here the IV in the 6th bar (IV7 | #IVdim7 | I7). The #IVdim7 inversion also has nice chromatic bass movement (Eb, E, F) from the root of IV to the fifth of I, but ofc any inversion has the same function. The #IVdim7 is also sometimes used as a (lower) chromatic approach to the V7, which is the third common function of diminished chords.
