I do loads of hammer ons and pull offs and I’m not the only one. I suspect what they mean is ‘why do jazz guitarists not sound like rock guitarists’ there are plenty of jazz guitarists who play...
You’re spot on! That’s a really good summation of how I approach these all-improvised solo pieces. I listen as if the music just played is from someone or somewhere else and I react to and answer it...
Jazz guitarists don’t do hammer ons and pull offs? That’s news to me. Herb Ellis specifically said to use them in his instructional materials.
Plug and Play indeed. https://www.youtube.com/watch?time_continue=12&v=1gRd9ZmZ1Yk&embeds_referring_euri=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.thegearpage.net%2F&source_ve_path=MzY4NDIsMjM4NTE&feature=emb_title
I've had this for 7 years and loved every second of it. This is the Bozeman version made under Ren's management of the Custom Shop. I bought it from a collector who said it was one of only 2 in black...

Could split "time feel" into those same two components. So, time are these theoretically perfect chunks of musical movements but feel is the imperfect one, governed by taste and style. When...
Yes, also do the same for half note and quarter note triplets. Also the displaced quarter triplet, where the first note of the triplet coincides with 2 and 4. The Bembe 6/8 clave against 4/4 is...
Obv this was widened out a little into a general discussion of time… which of course isn’t quite the same thing as feel. But I don’t expect I’ll ever stop working on time…
The most important thing IMO is being able to feel the pulse. Dancing to the music might help, no kidding. Then the understanding of polyrhythms is helpful -- divisions of three against two and...
yeah I deleted it because I decided it wasn’t true haha that’s completely true. However in the case of intermediate level students, just getting rhythms accurate to the basics needs to be...
Here are six short etudes, with an analysis, based on an eight bar section of Sonny Rollins' "Airegin", with free downloadable pdfs in Bb, Concert & Eb.
I don't really understand the first paragraph. The second paragraph - ok, but software like Sibelius can produce exact rhythms, but I don't think it would or could really reproduce how a jazz...
Professional opinion and the judgment of the community is central to music. The goalposts DO vary from tradition to tradition. We don’t do rubato in the same way as classical musicians for example...
If you get it instinctually, you don't need to break it down. I feel your teacher's pain.
