Love the misuse of the word literally Never seen that one before

No one breaks out of the blues with style like Jack!

To be honest 95% of guitar or amp reviews or even lessons I come across are pretty much unlistenable. Mindless noodling and too much distortion. So what a breath of fresh air to discover Jack's channel. It's as if he thinks about the notes and how they will melodically relate to the other notes before he plays them. Reminds me of Robben Ford. Glad I discovered this awesome channel.

bro you energy is so calm, I just wanna listen

Wow. After years of searching and confusion, I finally found MY teacher. Great work…

This chap is giving away all of the alchemists of jazz secrets. He'll be chucked out of the Magic Circle (of Fifths) for sure lol

Very rarely do I audibly say ‘ooooh’ when watching a KZread guitar lesson, but I did it several time in this lesson. Jack, you are awesome and I’m glad I found your channel.

Marshall Ohio: This stuff isn't exactly "the basics", at least as far as rock & roll is concerned. It's jazz theory, and not part of your average (or, in some cases, much better than average) rock guitarist's vocabulary.

Jack is such a tasteful, deliberate player. Very refreshing.

Really great stuff you do, totally inspiring. Thanks for all of it.

I'm so happy I found your channel, I'm a fan of your playing!

Great, i remember someone on youtube also mentioned to improvise on any dominant chord by playing lydian dominant scale on the same key, this is really tricky and need some time to learn.

Thanks!

Great stuff Jack for all the musicians wanting to expand their vocabulary, besides your excellent approach I found out the whole tone and phrygian dominant ( 5 of harmonic minor) also function well as altered sounds on the one chord. The practical approach of you gives de possibility to use the same melodical material going a half step down, great stuff man, greetings Vic

This is awesome. I've been working through this and trying to get a tone that's approaching yours Jack. I've realised that so much of this is in your fingers and I use my pinky a lot more than you which is leading to a less smooth sound. So I'm gonna try and involve the ring finger more. As a very happy patreon subscriber please post up the tabs when you get the chance, they really speed things up for me. Thanks a lot.

Most KZread guitarists play riffs. Jack plays music.

You are literally the most clear, understandable teacher I’ve encountered. Thanks so much for what you do.

Great video! I've been playing (not only) blues for 45 years. I've been trying to keep blues sounding like blues, not like jazz (although a jazz blues is also nice). Over a major blues (12 bars only using I7 IV7 V7) I've been playing the Lydian Dominant scale plus the minor 3rd on each chord (on C7 CDEbEF#GABb) and extending this with a b9 for that diminished sound. I would be interested what you suggest on "simple" minor variants: i7 iv7 v7 i7 iv7 V7 i7 IV7 v7 i7 IV7 V7 when the goal is to NOT sound jazzy. Regards from Vienna Austria, Martin

You really have me wanting an ES 335

hi jack where can i find the backing tracks you used here? thanks!

So basically the lydian dominate scale is the harmonic minor of the dominate 5th in the key .lydian Dom.scale in A would be the same as an E harmonic minor scale?

Wow...I'll never be smart enough for this.

Hi Jack , are you familiar with Barry Harris 4 chord diminished concept and if so could you show use how to use the Dom 7 5b ?

@@JackRuch lol it’s fun to play with just not sure where to put Dom 5b it not being diatonic and all. I need to find songs that have that chord maybe,

I like it. (all of Jack's stuff is great). However, when I played the lick (4:27) over a few other KZread backing track-shuffles it did not work. I wondered why. Oh...the other backing tracks had a strong g-natural on top of their C chord, clashing (in a bad way) with the F#. It seems this is better served in a trio w/o another chordal instrument or....one needs to be careful.

💖😎💝

Awesome video Jack!! Quick question if you don’t mind. What is the relation of the Ab-M7 to the G7 that makes it function as an altered sound? I do understand though the GmM9 over C7 for L. Dom because of of the way the fit into Melodic minor

@grahamsmith1978

Жыл бұрын

If you understand that GmM9 arpeggio works over the C7, then in that same scale theory framework the GmM9 works over all the other chords and that would include the last note of G melodic minor which is F# (G A Bb C D E F#) and the F# mode is called the Altered scale (F# G A Bb C D E). Same notes as G melodic minor, just starting on the 7th degree.. Gets you F# Alt. So if you want to play G alt on the G 7 as Jack does, you have to understand what scale has G alt as its 7th degree just as F# is the 7th degree G melodic minor and that scale is Ab melodic minor (Ab Bb Cb Dd Eb F G). So in summary, if you want the alt sound on any Dom 7th chord just play the last mode of the melodic minor scale that contains it, first to hear it. Then you can play any mode, Jack on the G could run up and down G alt (the seventh mode of Ab melodic minor) but he chooses to play the first mode, the An melodic minor, and he uses the AbmM9 arpeggio to do it.

Question so your saying I can noodle over the dominate lydian scale over a 12 bar blues in E? And what kind if feel does this scale give the blues? Lydian is a dreamy sounding scale to me. So is that the feel I should be going for playing the dominant lydian scale over 12 bar blues in E?

So root chord stick to minor pentatonic then fourth chord play a line from the dominant lydian scale?

Man, I feel dumb for never thinking of this. Diatonic 4 = Lydian and Blues 4 = Dominant. Lydian Dominant should have been a no-brainer. Thanks Jack.

I love your lessons, however, I think even though you are a terrific blues players, you have a lot of jazz influence in your playing and lessons. I am kind of beginner (even though I am 70 years old), and could use more "simple" lessons. I am about to become a Patreon but I am afraid your lessons are too advanced for me. Not your fault, of course, It is me. But I am still deciding and meantime I will enjoy your lessons, at least to watch them. Thank you very much for all your help!! Cheers
