I support your point! I always tell my students learn short patterns to create more lines. In my opinion, learning licks is more like learning the path of creating a jazz sentence. Good video btw!

I have the same approach on licks. Note selection/path is already taken care of. Way easier to focus on form, motifs, rhythm, articulation and dynamics this way. I am a guitar player btw. Cheers!

You're the best! Thank you so much.
Very much appreciated - well delivered with graphics, etc. I'd didn't hear a lot of concern for "evoking" the chord, by hitting guide tones, at certain points. For an F7th, it seems its not critical to bring out the tritone, etc. Excellent dive into melody-

When you start moving cells around its very much about tension release, target notes and leading tones. Then I'm indeed not so concerned about the chords. Maybe more the function - like is it dominant or is it tonic.
Holy moly that made sense. Now to put them into practice and make your brain work a little faster is another thing lol

Well I suspect this as a statement is arguable. For instance Charley Parker, used everything the trouble with using patterns all to often it sounds boring .

I assume you mean the spelling on the thumbnail?` because else its a bit weird! not a native speaker, so if you mean the spelling - thank you for the gentle and subtle correction :)
not exactly.. and short patterns ARE licks.. you are talking about the mature trane.. in his formative years he played tons of licks he learned from bird and every othe major sax player of his day.. his early solos make that obvious.. and enclosures are not patterns, they are melodic devices as are arps.. I appreciate your work but this needs mentioning.. 🙏🏻😎

All true, and not everything is revealed in the title or cover :) then books and films, stories, actually every media would be insanely boring. And I totally agree with you. Except the enclosures maybe, that we can take up for discussion. Making a video right now on how Brecker is using enclosures as patterns.... There is always an angle. Love your thorough comment and love the discussion. Always be critical. Thanks

Licks is just a slang way of saying short melodic content, which is synonymous with melodic patterns. I'm guessing your titles are created to get more views and sound dramatic, but hopefully any young students watching understand that the licks/patterns you are comparing and contrasting are actually the same thing.

When you say that every musical line is a lick. I see a lick more like a longer musical line a player often repeats with no actual change, repeating exactly the same line in the same place with the same phrasing. That would be s lick to me. What Coltrane does is playing smaller lines and constantly changing them, mix them up and or moving them around. I think being able to do this is musical mastery instead of learning a bunch of licks to repeat them steadily the Sman place in the same music day out and day in. I do not know if this is more clear than the video. But I think there is a big difference
@brianthedog2004

@@sorenballegaardmusic I didn't say every musical line is a lick. I think we're getting into semantics here, but I simply said a lick is another way of saying melodic pattern. A lick is transposable, rephrasable, and you can play all or parts of them--whatever your imagination comes up with--but you have to learn them first. My problem with you saying to "never play licks again" in your video description, is that transcription is an important part of learning the language, and many young students may see your suggestion as a reason not to transcribe and learn important jazz phrases, verbatim, in every key, (which is how every good player I've played with starts out) for fear they're not being as creative as Coltrane, which is silly. (BTW, Coltrane said himself he learned licks when he was starting out).

@@brianthedog2004 I see what you mean, and I agree with you. Licks is an important part of the musical language, and I show a way you can get out of the habit. I do hope the young players learn that they should filter information. Indeed you need to create attention with KZread, make sensations. So one sentence or one TN can never describe a video fully. Love that you are critical. Thank you, makes me sharp and makes me think.
