I like how Jack's playing is similar to how he talks. Smooth, intelligent, straight to the point and all flavor, no filler. Best lessons on the internet. Thank you sir!

I find some of the best players I know really struggle with this kind stuff. Give ‘em giant steps and they slay but drop a one chord funk and they run out of ideas in one or two mins lol thanks for this. People need this!

I loved how you walked us through this from straight to more outside.

You are one of the best flavours on KZread I’ve found

Thank you Jack, I could here some Bobbie Gentry sounds in there. I like your step by step approach.

Great stuff Jack as always

Brilliant stuff! Thank you, Jack!

Thank you for linking up the different concepts - that is very helpful.

Always a pleasure. Time to dig in and apply these concepts!!

This is already changing my playing. Perfect timing for me. A deep mine of stuff to integrate. Thanks! The tones are awesome you're getting with the whole chain; from heart through the fingers out of the speakers. Nice.

Thanks so much Jack.

Lots of content in here jack, thank you. I really like the way you build complexity one level at a time. I knew I was in for a treat when I saw it was 17 mins long!

Very helpful. Thank you. Robert

Fantastic lesson.

That was super helpful. I tried all those approaches with just the slide....wow. Led me to lots of new ideas. Thanks!

Brilliant presentation. You get more informative every time I hear you. I must buy your course. I have only bought two: Robben Ford and Matt Schofield.But you are far easier to learn the exact same things from. Robben talks over my head, and plays some things he doesn't explain or show. Matt is easier, but didn't seem to be showing his usual best. You however are perfect for a "good intermediate" player like myself. I am painfully and terribly disabled at this point (I'm 70, been playing since I heard Mike Bloomfield-55 years) but I would find a way to come see you if you were anywhere near my city. There are many great teachers on KZread, but you are the best. I've said this to you before, but had to expand my praise a little more. ok, I'll shut up now.

Thanks for your message, you made me discover Matt Schofield thatI didn't knew at all. If you like that kind of playing, you might have heard of Eddie Tatton, who has been much influenced by Robben Ford and Larry Carlton.

Great video! this sums up 2 years of my music collage! well done and very nice and calm presentation.

Great lesson, I really enjoy your calm, smooth and confident style of playing and speaking. I took away a lot from this video, many thanks Jack.

You’re the BEST👏👏👏

Pretty incredible amount of information here Jack.

Great info. So many options.

Great lesson, thanks!

Thank you for helping me to apply very practically theory and techniques I have been studying for years. This lesson in particular has been eye opening in using the melodic minor and diminished scales which I really like and have spent countless hours studying but have labored at figuring how to apply them in a way that sounds right to me and makes me feel good.

Amazing Jack. Love it. Thank you! Greetings from the UK. ❤

Your lessons are worth their weights in gold. Just brilliant!

Love your videos! That TONE is so gorgeous. You absolutely prove how a Telecaster can obtain a warm jazz and blues tone. Very thoughtful phrasing. I've learnt alot from your patient approach, Thank you!

Hey Jack, you are such a great teacher. Your instructions on different videos are super easy to understand. Thank you for your work. I love the way you play as well. Best,

Excellent lesson, very well explained! Thank you!👍

Super cool!

I admit I will have to watch many times in order to get (some of it). But appreciate your efforts to simplify it for us. Great teaching skills.

Outstanding

Hey Jack, great video. I've watched a bunch of your vids and I really like the calm approach you take. I'd love to see a video where you start with some chord sequence that is new to you, and you go through the process of working out what works over the specific chords presented. Like someone played you a song they had just written, and you were starting to think about what a good solo over it would be.

This lesson is so inspiring! Exploring B Melodic Minor harmony over E7, is giving me some incredible sounds. I love the way the F#7 arpeggio (Mixolydian b6) sounds over E7. It leads nicely into the Half-Whole Diminished scale. I kind of feel like I've reached the end of a rainbow and found a pot of gold!

👏👏 Excelente video 👏👏

Jack, you are a great educator. Your intelligence, musical and presentational skills really provide very helpful lessons. Thank you for all you do.

Great lesson! Smooth-ass playing, too!

Huge light bulb moment for me here with the chord/arpeggio substitutions. It seems so obvious now that I see it. Took me a second to realize why starting from the 3rd would yield a half diminished chord instead of a minor 7, but then I realized we were already starting from mixolydian. Awesome material. Love it!

Excellent lesson….. also liked the way that you explained that the lydian dominant you used is the same as the B harmonic minor. That is proper demystification. Great stuff…. . Also excellent pace on both themplaying and talking! Subscribed.

Half step Whole step Diminished scale. Now I understand it completely I believe. Thank you for your easy to follow explainations Mr. Ruch. I got your Truefire courses. Love how you explain & show things. Great instructor. Thanks much ♥♥

Verg good tone and explanation, you've got a new subscriber

excellent lesson. thank you. 🙏very helpful!! 👌

2 things that are rarely touched on for guitar improvisation, and that is the use of intervals and letting the chords do the work. Everytime a new chord comes up doesnt mean you have to play anything - at least right away.

Thanks!

first corey posts a vid on the altered scale or whole tone and now my man jack thhe day after Oz Noy met Uncle Larry and they blew each other away with their highly individualized totallly different yet somehow the same (in spirit) approaches to soloing! i think my boy Oz mighta made an impact on the nashville cats with all his hip outside shit! 😊

Great stuff! Kind of intro to Jazz

Clear and concise. Thank you!

Thank you for playing one chord.

You have great tone.

Thanks for the fab lesson Jack could you by chance do one on a minor vamp too please?

You my man are about as tasty as it gets. Phrasing is great too. Playing across the beat. I like to get people out of usual patterns by not always starting on the root to root. Try 3 to 3 or 5 to 5 in same scale. Now the intervals are in different spots but you’ve got all the right notes. See kids you don’t need pedals to change tones and dynamics and and

That makes it pretty easy to remember for any key. The melodic minor is a fifth away from the mixolydian you are altering. Makes sense since the minor six chord would fit it perfect and that would be the minor chord on the fifth except the no 4th/11th but you make it minor 7th or maj/min 7 you get the b5/#4 or the 11th

Hi Jack, great lesson as always. Please can you make a video to explain the rules to build two or three blues turnarounds (no licks)? Many thanks.

I find that memorizing how the other scales and modes connect to the major and minor pent scales helps me use them

Informative...gonna check them out f.e G#-B-D-F# = G# halfDim, over E7, ok, eureka!

👍🏼❤️

This is a great lesson - so much packed into a short space of time which is perfect for me as I'm quite a fast learner and a more advanced guitarist. But despite being advanced I have loads of gaps in my knowledge from neglecting to learn basic theory and you seem to fill in these gaps effortly by explaining everything in such an easy way. I'm seriously considering buying your course but I was curious as to what I would get out of it in comparison to these free videos. Any advice surrounding the paid course?

Hi Jack ,I really like your channel , what about using that process to solo over the key center .

This was the first video to explain this in a way I understand. Is there a cheat sheet for chords and the related chord tones?

Hi, gorgeous tone and great knowledge, wondering what your signal chain is?

Do you actually think about all these chord extensions while playing? How can you stay organized? The theory makes sense but putting it into practice is very intimidating to me

@JackRuch

Жыл бұрын

Just go slow and work out lines. Over time it will get easier to hear it and visualize on the fretboard.

Your playing is so bloody tasteful. Absolutely love it. 👍 D'you not think of the minor 3rd as a sharp 9 ? Or the sharp 11 as a flat 5? It's a minor 7 flat five. It's not "half" of anything. It's a complete chord in It's own right. 😪

Love the lydian dominant sound but am having trouble making it sound good. Do I try and play melodic lines with it or blend it together with pentatonic?

@JackRuch

Жыл бұрын

You can definitely blend it in with other stuff. And try coming up with simple melodies that use the scale.

This is Excellent.. I Do all of these but the Lydian flat7 fingerings are really difficult.Please give suggestions on how I can add that extra note...The fingerings for melodic minor are crazy on guitar.

Good stuff good music theory knowledge are you based in Nashville or near Nashville

Besides the human making everything happen, that Tele is Sweet sounding. What you running. A preamp? Or a Princeton. Oh I see the gear list. Looks similar to my choices

Little off subject but Jack . What Delay Pedal do you use? If you have time to answer TY.

The Vahlbruch Spacetime or the Strymon Brigadier

I get it now. Playing a Bm (ii), G#7-5 (VII), or a Dmaj (IV) over a E7 (V) vamp works because these are the diatonic chords of Amaj and E7 is the dominant of A. So, the extensions of E7 fit into the diatonic family of A. Yes?

Great lesson. Thank you. What year is that Tele?

I dont understand why a simple concept has to be complicated by using a 7th chord for instruction purposes.Why not just stick with a major or minor?
