You can watch it anytime!

Tomo

Thank you Sammi for sharing this playlist!

Tomo

Thank you Matt for your reaction!

I can make any additional lesson videso anytime. Jazz Standards are truly great guidence for song model and more.

So happy to hear that. Especially Blue Monk. Very important to learn specific fingering and proper duration of notes. And should learn learn that SOLO ETUDE too. No need to improvise first. Using a metronome is so important. Practice a lot of R 3 7 swing groove.

You're very welcome! So nice to have George & Sammi!

Tomo

Thank you so much, Matt! Hope you had fun seeing Spinal Tap!

Did you catch Sammi's grin when Tomo said respect your parents? :-)

Thank you Jeff!

Good catch!

Simple and importamt!

Duration of notes! Easy to miss....

Thank you!

Tomo

Yes, Jeff! Tomo said around 13:20 "simple way to do": learn chords, melody, triads. That is "a lot of work".

Good times on the live stream :) nice to hear the approach and further guidelines on these standards. Some points were really made clear on how to. I have to see if my babes has a real book hiding in her collection first, then thinking key of which book... Maybe Bb since I have been focusing there for quite a while. I appreciate this link and follow up to my question on the book. So true tho, in the books there is sometimes a missing tasty chord that sounds better once it's discovered, Good advice Tomo. I will be adding or finding this book for my collection, even to only read and study the changes. Thank you!! - johno

Thank you Johno! So great to hear that. It was clear about this topic and how to do.

Tomo

Thank you for posting this George. I want to make sure I purchase the exact recommendation.

Thank you Markos. You're very welcome.

I would say... keep it simple! That's good! Minor key....

Definitely you can practice triad inversions on each chord. Why not?

Even you are playing B minor pentatonic scale... you want to feel each note against each chord.
When you are practicing... you can analyze them according to each chord. More fun!

One at a time. You need to hear all the details.
Do less stuff & deeply.

Tomo

Thank you very much professor I loved the lesson with the minor blues that you suggested to take only the R second string and b3, 4 ,5 on the first string and of Bminor and analyse over the 4m , b6 M7 , and 5dom7. I need to do this more! I am just so eager to play sometimes (pentatonic sound so good under this progrssion!) that i don't stay long enough to the analysis! I will record every chord and try to sing do me fa sol for Bm, re fa sol la for A etc.. and after i will sing the phrases that i want to steal like that so i can become better to feel and recognise degrees! I want very much to be good at recognise things by ear and sometimes it feels so difficult task but i am fore sure better for last year! We all must be patience and wait for the magic to happen.

You're very welcome! If it sounds good then it's all good! It's better not play by shapes!

Do these a lot.
1) Play triad inversions on 123 top strings.
2) One String Approach with 1st finger (thinking each intervals)
3) Record yourself once a week.

Good job!

Tomo

Thanks for watching, Markos! You are doing so good!

Thank you Sergio! I really enjoyed that format!

Jazz Standard is good for everyone!

Thank you so much!

Tomo

Thank you, Sergio! You got it. Simple, yet deep.
So far, it seems like you and Tadashi are digging into Blue Monk. Blue Monk Festival is trending :)
