    I have had an epiphany from watching this video! More than once I have been criticized for my big band comping with band leaders not being able to explain since they weren’t guitar players themselves. They just said that I was clashing with the piano. I was playing lapomp and using those exact drop 2&3 voicing that I gleaned from the Mickey Baker book. If I had played just shell voicings it would have worked! 🤦🏻‍♂️🤦🏻‍♂️

    Great video. You give complete information but don't drone on endlessly about irrelevant stuff like most teachers do. You cut to the chase! Well done. The diagrams are helpful and the pace is easy to play along to but still challenging.

    Very nice production value. Very good skills both on camera and on guitar explaining. Just one thing bugs me. I played the 12 bar blues a million times in hundreds of variations. Your example sounds of the Gypsy 12 bar blues is interesting but it doesn’t sound like a 12 bar blues at all. For the growl you would try to use also the 5th string on those G7 chords.

    Thank you so much man. First time watching your channel and really like the lesson! A question, in the first example, the Freddie Green style, when you go back to the d7 at 6:29, does it then start over with 4 strums (1 bar)?

  • @HayesGriffin

    @HayesGriffin

    Answering your question first- you are correct! The form starts over at that point with a full bar of D7. Thanks so much for the kind words, really glad you like the lesson!
