    My takeaway is to lean into what makes your channel unique. You always manage to find the best jazz musicians to do these collaboration MASTER CLASSES. You've amassed a huge community of musicians and we are lucky that you can share their knowledge with us. Don't waste your time on other people's pettiness on KZread. Keep on keeping on, and keep doing these collabs!

    Guitarist no. 3 "4 notes over each chord" at the slow tempo, and the closely located inversions, leading to the next, starting on different chord tones works for all instruments, and is a nice way to start mastering rhythm changes. Gives you a handle on the A which of course, is a turnaround, and which therefore, of course will apply and be used on ALL tunes with a I vi ii V turnaround too. So mastering rhythm changes is absolutely essential.. ? Duh? Gee I'm slow. GREAT STUFF!!!! thanks.

    Guitarist number 3 strikes me as much more in control, playing more lyrical lines, a more individual sound, way cleaner . a) much cleaner b) much more "modern" c) (for me) much more interesting. d) tone is fat and more nuanced takeaways.. play on a) solid or semi solid body b) lighter strings c) modern effected tone c) play post hard bop stuff like Ford, Metheney, Abercrombie, Scofield, Lage et al on rhythm changes

    This video was GREAT, and Barry's explanation, and honesty, about playing at the quick tempos, is something ALL guitar players that play Be-bop need to hear. Although it soon becomes obvious to a player when they make the attempt, KNOWING that its mostly muscle memory and practice, is easier on the ego than figuring it out for yourself. I really liked the idea Larry came up with, it was really fresh and unexpected.

    My main takeaway is just how much more interesting and inventive were the players who played shorter lines and left some space. Another takeaway is just how great Cannonball Adderley’s live at the Plaza solo over Oleo with Miles band was - he manages to get some unique and inventive lines in even while staying within the confines of establish bebop harmony.

    Dan plays so melodic and tons of chops! To me, his analysis had so many great points. A section, staying on the V (Oscar) or just building melodic sequences or call answer over the I chord. I can play over single chords but not at that tempo. I’ll try Ab Lydian over A section as Bb13, things like that.

    Cecil has the best timefeel done cleanly and sense of trafitional historical references. Rodney has dumped cliches the best and inserted moderisms using Trane , Woidy Shaw and McCoy inspirations but has some of his own approaches. I can hear their oen sounds and not think of guitar as much.

    Looks like Dan Wilson is using the Benson picking style, and Cecil Alexander has the Benson pick angle but without the underarm position here. Rodney Jones and Sheryl Bailey are both using similar to Benson but may have developed it independently.

    This is a wonderful video with fantastic insights! However, up until Will Brahm (who was kind enough to start with a few measures of rests), the only thing on my (admittedly feeble) mind was "where's one?". It's hard for me to listen at that tempo, let alone play, without the melody as a reference point. Great stuff, though.

    Takeaway: Barry Greene says it. If you try to play every chord the conventional way it's very hard to improvise fresh ideas as opposed to using many licks you already played. His solo is very stylistically predictable and could have been played in the 50s. Technically it's highly accomplished precise and continuous. Rodney Jones plays relatively more modern lines in a choppy spurty kind of way. He said it was his first take so it did not have a satisfyingly continuity I like Hristo Vitchev with a Scofield/Metheny sound on the guitar (although not unique) he is able to improvise more freely as compared to Barry Greene because he has methodically figured out inversions so the changes require the minimum movement of the hand. The approach is very efficient using inversions of triads at first and then practicing specific modes for each chord. Cecil Alexander has a very plain sound clean tone. He has great flow in his playing and was able to make it easier to use substitutions by not playing every chord change as he describes, just playing some V, Is but when you are listening he don't get the impression he is simplifying. He also uses some wider interval sequences here and there and throws in some blues licks. Will Brahm has a beautiful tone where with some reverb and (compression?) Nice touch on the guitar, great flow and phrasing. He takes "breathes" within the solo. Larry Koones uses a lot of chords in his playing. On the surface somewhat in that old 40s style and in his single note runs but he does something with a pedal point fingering , one finger stays down while the other fingers change chords. Brad Mehldau does that on piano with some of his Beatles stuff which was very original. He simplified the chords which was another solution to the problem with playing this fast as Barry Greene described. Sheryl Bailey played melodically and properly following the changes and had a good flow. I thought stylistically it was very predictable like Barry Greene could have been done in the 50s as well as the very plain guitar tone. It was hard getting past here fingering issues where a certain portion of her notes we don't hear, the finger is not pressing down the string enough to properly sound the note. Dan Wilson plays somewhat like George Benson. He has a great flow and he digs in plucking hard on certain notes which punctuates the lines and has a lot of be bop dynamics His solo had the most fire and he threw in some nice chords and blues licks. He also talks about not playing every chord. That is one of the keys to the problem Barry Greene was talking about. You have to hear every chord, to be able to play each chord but when you actually play don't feel like you have to outline each chord or prove that you covered it. But you have to be able to do that (ta least at slow tempo) so when you leave out something he keep track of where you are. So when you practice these changes loop sections of them, play you most note dense riffs and then play them again one note per chord or even one note tremolo that works for two chords. Then mix that with some of the dense notes riffs to make it musical. I think that is the best method and the other best method was Hristo Vitchev's where he figured out inversion triad fingering leading to not have to require as much hand movement/finger motion between chords and this other thing Alexander and Dan Wilson talked about , you don't have to play every chord and as you do that you can use substitutions sometimes. Metheny uses a lot of that triad inversion approach like Vitchev but I think I heard in Alexander a short phrase of quartal sequence. That's a good spice if you are focusing on triads.

    The point of this is not how fast but how melodic and swinging is the melodic content! It's not 100% technique. Everyone needs to go back in the Swing and Bebop era and lesson to those horn and piano players who had chops but the feel snd the melodic content was most important. Cats are missing the real essence of what this should be about!

    It’s a helpful exercise in life to keep in mind that there are many alternate modes of appreciation of any given thing. For the commenter above, they do not appreciate rhythmic tension and quicker tempi. It should be considered a blessing to our society that there are countless alternative music styles containing music which is cognitively and experientially easier to follow. Edit: the comment above should be aware that such an immature reply feels justified from insecurity. It also speaks more to that insecurity being from ignorance to fast jazz and/or an inability to play such as these musicians. Were it a random complaint against something to which they are not connected…well, that is just douchy. Good video!
