New Lesson!
Added 2022-06-07 01:16:09 +0000 UTCIn this video I breakdown 4 great Wes Montgomery lines from the tune 'D Natural Blues.' Then I demonstrate how to write your own lines using the same concepts. I'll throw up the tabs and backing track in the next posts. Cheers!

2022-11-29 07:04:21 +0000 UTCThis is so way over my head to play it's not even funny, but I love hearing it deconstructed by Jack who makes it all seem so obvious and reasonable. Far beyond reasonable genius, Wes was. Thanks for channeling him our way. PS I like the way you contrast levels of play from ultra simple blues in A counterpointed with Wes.

2022-06-08 01:57:42 +0000 UTCThis is really cool, Jack. I'm still trying to get down the diminished scales. The dim arpeggios are easier to play but having the two dim scales is tricky. I've listened to your Joe Pass lesson which really helps. You describe using the half-whole dim as the dominant dim scale (going from the I to IV chord) functioning as a secondary dominant AND the whole-half dim scale as the tonic dim scale (going from the I dim/#IV dim chord to the tonic I chord. It takes time to sink in. Then I'm trying to understand where the altered scale fits into the two diminished scales. Lastly, it's really cool sounding when you super-impose the C maj7 arpeggio and the Amin7 arpeggio over the D7 chord and get the extension. How did guys like Wes come up with this.? Pure genius.
