I just want to express how much I've learned from your channel-I really appreciate it! I can't believe we are living in an era where amazing resources like this are available for free.

Glad you’re enjoying my content! These are available for free because there are people who value what I do and support via membership 🙏

Fantastic information here! Thanks for a really good synthesis. One concept that’s new to me is practicing an idea and then stopping for a minute, and than your brain actually reviews the information a bunch of times during that pause.

Playing away from piano is big with my jazz piano teacher, also visualizing chords, scales and chord inversions.

Greater technical mastery is useful, but putting intention into the few notes one is currently playing is more powerful. Just 3 or 4 notes plaid slowly and with intent can be magnetic to the ear.

You WANT to have a high degree of technical mastery. Even if you don’t ever go all out, you COULD, but you restrain it and play within the song. There’s nothing wrong with having great technique. Develop yourself. Stop saying “I’m this kind of player” and can’t or won’t do or learn that other thing. Keep learning. Keep developing. Better to have it and not need it than to need it and not have it. Edit: This applies to concepts as well. I heretofore, have resisted learning CAGED. “I know triads. What do I need CAGED for?” I guess I should take my own advice. 😂

Agreed! Check out my video on CAGED! Learn The CAGED System in 9min kzread.info/dash/bejne/pWVqk5NrpdWbac4.html

In addition to slowing down and listening a feeling the note, I would suggest that one do the exercise without amplification. With regard to KZread, not only is there too much information, a lot of the information is just wrong or contradictory. And it is difficult for a beginner to separate the wheat from the chaff. In addition, there is too much focus on the technical aspects of the instrument and not enough time developing your ears.

I agree about lots of information being contradictory. I believe that's mainly due to people checking out different systems of learning that don't integrate well. For example, one person you might watch could be teaching scales in a 3 notes per string style, while I would teach them a completely different method of Benson style that many more jazz guitarists follow. When people want to really get serious beyond the enjoyable entertainment value of watching KZread videos is when they should find a system/teacher they connect with.

Related to ear development is the fact that many guitarists put their focus on technique and theory as well, which is fine, but at the end of the day the tone and sound from the fingers tends to be ignored by many. While the audience wants to be captivated by beautiful playing and tone many guitarists with great technique sound like a chainsaw. It‘s a pity.

"Everything is on KZread including reaction videos" LOL. I like what you both said about knowing when your brain is full and you need time to assimilate what you just learned. Gotta remember that Rome wasn't built in a day.

Lol got a bit meta there 😄

Music pedagogy has been well explored by the likes of kodaly, dalcroze, suzuki, orff. Most guitar stds and teachers start the wrong way round and make the journey long and tedious. She is describing that long path. Highly motivated learners can tolerate it but music is a language, we all learnt and became highly competent and communicative in our native language so there is little reason we shouldn't be able acquire music if guided along that path well. The key is the music, not the instrument. If there is no music, nothing tangible to express, then it is harder. Start with the sounds first, the ears and the voice, the actual music, and the mechanics will follow. There is no excuse in this day and age where we free access to all the world's music that we desire.

what about those who learned by ear?

@@ChaseMaddoxIt would, but it’s often observed that many self-taught musicians possess a certain musicality resembling emotional expressions, rather than a strict adherence to mechanics. While they still need to grasp the technical aspects, it seems they absorb much of this knowledge subconsciously through listening, transposing, and playing with other musicians.

I disagree with the theory about being in a room with a master. If you study under a master at Berklee for 4 years, that's one thing, but if you are just in the presence of a master for a short time (a day or week), it can be nerve racking and intimidating unless that master is an excellent teacher as well as being capable of gauging your progress and tailoring knowledge to your skill level. That is not always the case. When I sit with youtube, there are literally hundreds of masters from around the world on here who are better than me. I can choose whoever I want when I want, choose their curriculum at my skill level, watch the video as much as I want, and go at my own speed. There is no excuse anymore. Everyone should be being playing at a very high level now with just what is available on youtube, not even counting people's Patreon pages associated with them. I'm not breaking balls, just my 2 cents. Love Tal though, she is great, so are YOU Chase! Keep it up! I love the jazz lessons.
