Such a coincidence, I saw him live in concert last thursday in Paris (15th of november 2018). It was really amazing what he can accomplish. He also played bass with a Boss super octaver pedal.
By sheer coincidence I had saved a couple of videos of Gilad playing with Peter Bernstien, they trade some great licks and I could definitely hear some of the motifs you lay out here. Again, great material, thank you...!
This song reminded me: do you have tips for difficult time-keeping situations? One of the delightful things about modern jazz is how the musicians can keep time while playing solos that make it really hard for the listener to tell where they are in the song, and then everyone in the band comes in at exactly the right place, seemingly out of nowhere. This song is one of those. Any lessons on that? Any books or exercises you can recommend? Thanks, and all the best, Jens!
Gilad is a master of moving things around with the rhythm! I do actually have one video where I go over the best exercises I know: th-cam.com/video/XUnu-oYWvtM/w-d-xo.html Maybe I should redo that information with another title at some point.
@@JensLarsen Just watched the one you recommended, and it was excellent. I have never been to music school, but I imagine there are hard exercises and a lot of demanding practice that one learns from. I've always used a metronome primarily to help me speed up my technique. This is an excellent set of ideas for using it differently. I suppose you could try setting it to some odd tempo and challenging yourself to keep up with it. Another idea might be to use a looper pedal instead of a backing track, and play the chords or bass at some challenging tempo. South Indian music has a set of mind-bogglingly complex rhythmic traditions where a musician has to end a cadence after playing something identically 3 times, and end on the correct beat. The phrases are long and they have to be able to hear a phrase just once and repeat it exactly 3 times in the right combination for that to happen. You will sometimes see someone counting with their hands (palm then back of hand sort of soundless clapping). This video shows an example th-cam.com/video/-wra4p4zARw/w-d-xo.html Thanks again!
Thanks! You can do a lot of different exercises with a metronome. The Indian thing is good, but meant for composed music but if can be a good exercise.
Thank you brother Jens! 🙏🙏🙏
Thank you Gilad! Keep making music, I'll keep listening!
Thank you. Gilad is one of my favourite guitarists. You are one of them too.
Glad you like it! 🙂
I love Hekselmans chord choices and everything else, Thanks Jens
Glad you like it Anthony! 🙂
As always I am glad to hear about who you would like to see a video on! 👍🙂
Martin Taylor also likes variations of the melody when he is improvising.
Maybe Mike Moreno?
Or a pianist would be amazing-Makoto Ozone, Keith Jarrett,Bill Evans, Oscar peterson, wynton kelly, Tommy flanagan...
Some fusion? Steve Kimmock, Jeff Richman...
Rotem Sivan
Peter Bernstein
More Gilad breakdowns/analysis. You both are masters!!!!
Haha! Thanks 🙂 I will try to do more of these. Gilad is really one of my favourites 👍
I had never heard of him before hearing his name in one of your lessons, but he is one of my favorites now as well. Thanks for mentioning him.
@@urbachd Gilad is truly great improviser! :)
One of the best from the young generation !!!!
Indeed! 🙂
Agreed.
I especially like his counterpoint improv. This is a great lesson!
Thank you! 🙂
Transcribed this for a recital last year. Such a dope solo
Nice! It is indeed a great solo! 🙂
I just discovered Gilad's "March of the Sad Ones." Then you post this! Life is good...Thanks for being so great Jens
That is a great coincidence 🙂 You should check out some more of his albums!
Too good. Too good.

He is indeed really good at that :)

I like the lesson, I didn' t know him - great examples, I do like especially the example 2 -
Gilad is amazing! You should definetly check him out 👍🙂
I am not familiar with Gilad , I love the sound, another new artist to explore. Thank You...!
He is somebody you want to check out! Amazing player 👍🙂
Jens Larsen I will, I’m always looking for new artists and ideas. Thank You!

Love your videos! Maybe Mike Moreno soon?
Thank you! I hope so! He is a great player!
Lovely lines..

Do one on Doug Raney or Adam Rogers!

Hi Jens when will we see your collabs with Tom Quayle?
I think the most recent PodCast was just published on the guitar hour? That was a lot of fun!
Jens Larsen my two favourite players, will have a look :)
is your guitar tuned to A=432Hz ?
Not that I am aware, but it could be that I shot this when I was playing with some percussion that was tuned to 428?
@@JensLarsen Ok anyway, thank you very much for sharing all this videos and information. Very helpful and gives me lot of inspiration!
Glad you like it! Did you check out the FB group (if you do Facebook that is..)
棒
Thank you!
Boooooo, Jens, joan, Catalonia free llibertat presos politics,💕💕❤️
0:17, just a small thing: You are pronouncing the word _ideas_ as "idears", adding that American _r_ sound, which sounds a bit odd.
Seems fitting with the rest of my personality, a bit Odd 🙂
@Jon Sebastian ... unbelievable video/audio observation.
idear makes more sense since we are using our ears to listen. it's odd you didn't think of that. 🤣
My favorite Jens expression is "for the rest..." no pun intended :)
British and australian people talk like that far more than americans do actually...
