Great video.
...but I hear some buzzing strings...too low action?

But as you show, it really all moves around in the middle.

Nice video.
What are your thoughts on how articulation and accentuation play into indicating what notes the player (and subsequently the listener) hear as the important ones?
Took a few theory classes at a music department that was Schenkerian in orientation. Skeleton reductions were (pardon the pun) more bare bones than chord tones. Tonic/dominant and transitional pre-dominant, end of story.
Far too many colorful details deemed irrelevant for my sensibilities.

I think to be a good melodic player you have to use different harmonic concepts, so most of the notes are important imo. I don't really get the premise of the video though.

I think it’s a mistake to separate melody, harmony and rhythm in the sense that they all work together. Transcription remains the best way to learn that.
