    Playing interesting stuff over one chord vamps. I do use ideas based on the V, but most interesting to me is superimposing chords over the static chord and playing lines through that. I tend to run out of interesting stuff quicker when I'm just playing outside lines over the V of that static chord. Just wondering what works for you.

    I just discovered your channel with this vid. When I saw that this vid was more than 10 mins, and then you started off by opening a can of soda, I’ll be honest, I was thinking, “man, just get to the point, I just want to hear the playing, I don’t want to watch another Adam Neely.” But then you went straight into a expertly-presented, unpretentious, master class in important jazz patterns. I LOVE that you explained all the musical and jazz terms like “building in thirds” and “make the changes” instead of just assuming that everyone knows what those terms mean. I have a less than basic understanding of music theory, so that was extremely helpful. I honestly walked away with a better understanding of music and jazz. Thanks!

And there’s always a way to connect these lines to the nearest secret jazz chord. I would think of these lines in relation to the G7alt sound, so SJC off of Bb. And see how the lines fit over those 5 SJCs.

    I really appreciate this content. It's really helpful for me as an introduction to jazz principles. My musical background is in classical guitar. I now play a lot of blues rock type music, but maybe it's time for me to finally delve into jazz a little bit. As far as I can tell, jazz theory is based on the same fundamental principles as classical music theory: playing through the changes, as you call it (melodies based around chord tones and passing notes, and the concept of tension and resolution). The difference between jazz and classical seems to me mainly that jazz harmony tends to add a lot of notes on top of the basic triads, including notes from outside the key, as well as maybe jazz tending to use different rhythms and different types of overall song/composition structure compared to classical music. By the way, some musicians seem to be put off by the idea of "rules" in music. I like to think of music theory not as a set of rules but rather as an analysis and description of the melodic, harmonic, rhythmic patterns of a particular style of music that give that style of music its particular sound. Every style of music has a set of patterns that it tends to use and you could talk about the theory behind them. Some styles of music are just a lot more complex than others so mastering all the different patterns takes a lot more work. In the end there's only one rule in music: if you like how something sounds, go with it! Great musicians have always experimented and innovated. thanks and all the best! I'm going to check out your ebook.

    Thank you! I wish I could too, but I’m not sure how possible that is. For it to be a real solo and not contrived it’s unlikely I’d happen into all of these concepts. I could force it but then it takes away from the real solo element.

Something that I could use some advice on at this stage is how to spice up several bars of the same chord - for example, Sweet Georgia Brown, where there are parts of four bars each of E7, A7 and D7. What chords could be used to add interest? Another problem is how to generate an interesting line over four bars of the same chord. I can play the melody, but coming up with something of my own is a major hurdle! I'd be grateful for any help, thank you very much for asking.

    I'm really enjoying your style of teaching; it's very clear, and you're not assuming that your audience already knows or has a background in jazz. What would help me would be to hear these lines and variations played over the chords. Playing a short loop that you can play them over would really help hearing them in context. Cheers

    Cool! The point I’m trying to make in this is less about having the most interesting ii-V and more about the most “important” one in the sense that it teaches you a lot about how jazz harmony functions. The idea being that you use those concepts to understand and create your own interesting ii-V-I lines 👌

    What I was always curious about is do you consciously think about the notes you are playing and their relation to the chord, or do you intuitively use a chord shape to know where you are (for example the G mixolydian in the video) and understand the relation from the shape, not from the notes?

    I’m sure it’s different for different musicians. But I think I’m sometimes thinking of specific notes that I want to resolve to in relation to the chord and other times I’m playing from an intuitive sense of the chord shape or another melodic structure. It’s a bit of both depending on a lot of factors like the tempo of the song and how familiar with the tune I am.

    A great lesson, it terms of clear concise explanation. building block principles , slower tempo build up to crasp the essence first and a solid structred approached one can learn and build from. ( This is something most great players seem to overlook and the pupil is left confused). May I suggest you visit Peter Farrell's Benson classes, great material really strong, but he suffers from poor explanation and needs the audience show how fast and skilled he is at playing the lines. His content is awesome but one is left trying to translate this to useabale material.
