    Bruce, my friend, this is possibly the best guitar lesson I have come across on TH-cam, thank you! You simplified a Giant piece and made it available to the masses. I was able to pick it up in an hour, forever grateful. If you take requests, I'd love to see your take on either Donna Lee or Spain, mainly how to approach soloing and chord melody for the tunes.

      Very few "great" players are great teachers. Bruce is clearly an exception who knows how to strike a good balance between showing how it works and explaining why it works, without getting bogged down in technicalities that lose sight of the music.

    When I was young in NYC in the 1960s-70s I attended the "Bar Talk Music Conservatory" mostly at the Vanguard and the Blue Note.
    The very best players to connect with for picking (of brains) were on your wavelength. "Keep it real, play what you can feel, simplify... once you own it you can always embellish and make fancier connections". Some people describe a solo like it was a round of golf... "he was hitting 3rd and made a 5 on the 13th on the back 9". Such folks are brilliant but I much prefer what you brought to this lesson.
    Thank you so much for making a 71 year old feel like an enthusiastic student again.

    Great lesson! Kudos! Coltrane wrote this piece as a personal way to challenge himself when privately practicing and admitted that it took him forever to perfect it long before he decided to record it. The best way to approach GIANT STEPS is to take your time and sneak up on it. This way you get familiar with the song's DNA. Like life itself, you have to start off as an ocean liner before you become a speedboat. And thanks BG for sharing and doing your part to help tame mankind with your gift, talent and knowledge..

    Wow. I'm impressed. I just, watched a non-jazz guitarist try to explain Giant Steps and then try to improvise over it. I was lost the entire time.
    Hearing a jazz guitarist explain it makes so much more sense and I have almost no theory knowledge at this point in my guitar playing. I know what, triads are and chord progressions, etc...but it's just the most basic stuff.
    Gonna have to sub to this channel 🙏👍Thank you! Jazz was never something I listened to until I started playing guitar. Id be missing out on far too much if I limited myself to just the music I've always liked.

    I think one of the challenges besides/with the tempo is the odd places the harmony/key centers change.

    Fantastic lesson, thanks for unlocking this tune. I'm not a jazzer but love that chord melody. :)

    I can say without a doubt, as a valve bone player, this was a GREAT lesson. Thank you, Bruce! Going to watch this often and get to work! P.S. - love the color combo / aesthetic at play with your axe/shirt/studio/graphics. KILLER.

      @@young0804 right on. Really there is so many approaches on a tune - but the key is to keep it simple and work on it slow. Next week I am planning a live YT clinic where I will answering some questions about tunes. Anyone can join and I will cover just about any topic - well almost any lol! DIG man

    Hey 👋
    Why would you not do G#m pentatonic for Bmaj?
    What’s the thought process of using the 3rd degree / Phrygian ?

    • @brucegregori
      @brucegregori  ปีที่แล้ว

      You could use G#m as well. Ebm hits all the sweets spots of BMaj7 chord. Think of the notes A#-M7, C#-9, D#-M3, F#-5, G#-M6, etc. remember when you have a pentatonic scale you can many times superimpose the associated pentatonic from the 4 and 5 degree. Some of this you discovered on your own!

    Its a very good video actual - The solo instruction is good with pentatonic minors - I think hard part about this piece in. addition to following the changes with your lines is creating lines that someone else wants to listen to - that is where thought your explanation of what Coltrane did was very good

  • @martyg374
    @martyg374 ปีที่แล้ว

    Very well done. Good advice on remaining melodic, otherwise it sounds like an exercise. Adding notation would help as well as watching your fingers. Seems guitar might easier than other instruments because you can just move your hands to change keys. Enjoyed your presentation very much.
