Ear training with random notes. Toughest part of my training but it is always nerve wrecking and fun at the same time. BTW these have no set scales or rules it is what I hear inthe backing track and trying to match it with an improv I am hearing in my head to try my best to nail those changes and be in tune with the chord at hand. I can't believe I have the courage to post this. LOL!

Just a discussion on free improv and what I think about it and hopefully what you can tell me about it, your thoughts on it etc.

Hi All - I am now learning the chord melody Round Midnight through Sandra Sherman's l;essons @GuitarversumSandraSherman . I purchased her bundle of songs last year and now I know how to play Misty and working my way to elarning the other jazz standards she arranged. Learning this one step and one phrase at a time.

Hi All - Just a fun little thing here on trying to dial in thye sound I want from my Eastman AR371CE, my DV Mark Jazz Amp and assorted picks (Ernie Ball Prodigy, Dunlop Little Stubby 3.0mm, Blue Chip LG60, D'Andrea 1.5mm, D'Andrea XH & Ultra Plectrum 2.0mm.

This is what I've been working on for the past few weeks to at least make noodling worth while. I put on a backing track and instead of just going through the noodling motions, I try now to create a song/melody/motiff. I figure this would train not only my hands and rhythm but also my ear as I try to transpose what I hear inside my head into the guitar, I find that when I am not recording it, I move freely and play smoother than when I record it. There is something about that darn record button that onece pressed releases chaos! I figuire I shjould do this more often and not be afraid to put myslef out there during these practice sessions until I get better at it. In the end of the day it is better than just mindless noodling. Trying to constract something on the fly is toucher than nails but will I'm sure be a benefit at some point specially as I now committed to learn the notes on the entire fretboard and some scales I have neglected to work on. Cheers!

Please feel free to chime in and provide me with some technical exercises I may work on to solve my left ring finger & pinky issues!

Hi all - this is my own arrangement of Twinkle Little Star. Some of the notes/chords I play I don't even know what chord exactly they are but it sounded good to my ears. Its a step to learning how to start figuring out creating my own chord melodies. Thanks for watching! Cheers!

Just a little noodling/solo on a Sunday morning.

This is an exercise to learn how to freely play utilizing just randome notes! There are many benefits to doing this and if you would like to know more, You can vist Sound Guitar Lessons YouTube channel of Jared Borkowskihttps://www.youtube.com/@UCjHMWH0YwQ1Fq3wvBc2ClAw I am taking 2 of his courses and he is just phenomenal and great teacher!

For sound test, go directly to 12:56 mark. This is a guitar I bought "Open Box' on Reverb as aChristmas gift to myself. I do my best to feature it here though there are other magnificent guitar players on you tbe that have reviewed this guitar as well including Jason Isbell himself when he featured it for Fender. Cheers! :)

Finally got a thick U neckto the repcae the soft V which I hated as it gave my left thumb major pain after only plaing for 30 minutes. Now I can play this baby all day! All LOVE no more hate! LOL!

Still working hardon this song! I purchased this fromSandra Sherman "Guitar Versum" as part of a bundle and I had challenges with the technique so I had to changed some things to be able to play it. After trying various ways to get around my technique challenges, I came to my own interpretation and phrasing, dynamics and hoping I can get better at it. I'll keep working on it. I am using a D'Angelico Premiere Mini DC, 9 guage half round srtrings, pluged to a DV Mark Little Jazz amp. :)

It's all about the neck for me in any guitar I play. Did not realize that a soft V would give me pain issues. Other than that I LOVE TELEs!!!

I've started my lessons in Jody Fisher's Complete Jazz Guitar book. Here I practice open chords and Barre chord shapes. Though I have played for more than 30 years I committed to not taking shortcuts and learning everything in this book. It is amazing how I never played some of these open chords like the B, some of F and some of G in open chord format. Learning now after more than 30 years of playing, This book is going to be good!

Just checking in to let you know my plans in continuing this beautiful jazz guitar journey! Also a HUGE THANKS to all of you and my new subscribers!

Just getting back at posting again after quite a long hiatus! Some corrections are in order after I reviewed this visep. The 1974/76 is a Stratocaster and not a tele. I now have 8 guitars not 7. Talk to you all tomorrow! Mabuhay, Cheers!!!

Just jamming to Super Funky Little Feat backing tract graciouslly provided by the New York Shred Channel on YouTube using my Vintage Icon series V62 guitar I got a year ago. I'm also trying to play with just fingers and trying to just stay in one position and be creative as I can given limited notes. Still choppy and needs improvement but the journey continues! Cheers and happy Saturday!

The title says it all! You folks have to check out The Advancing Guitarist (Applying Guitar Concepts and Techniques) by Mick Goodrick. You can find it on amazon https://www.amazon.com/Advancing-Guitarist-Mick-Goodrick/dp/0881885894Try it and have fun with it! Cheers!!!

I thought I'd just play a backing track, not pay attention to what my hands are doing and to just try to play what I hear inside my head. Total chaos as I do not know if I'm even within the key. I just play and hope I nail a few. It was weird cause hitting many unwanted notes and trying to figure out what to do really challenged me in a fun way.

Just got this used Epiphone ES 335 PRO in the mail and doing a quick test. I always wanted the cherry red Gibson but it is too expensive so I compromised with an Epi and man it sounds good. I set it up myself with low action and changed the string to Fender pure nickel 9 gauge. All my guitars are 9 gauge now as they feel easy and great on my aging fingers. So here I am just basically noodling/improvising. I think I am going to love this guitar a lot! Would be great if I could play her well but the journey continues.....hope you like the sound of the guitar. I am plugged to a DV Mark 12 Jazz amp. Cheers my YouTube frinds!

This is an old video that I forgot to upload! I used a generic backing track here and was actually trying to compose a melody and then it downed on me that even if I did I would not be able to claim the composition due to copyright laws for the backing track I used so maybe someday I'll be able to work on composing an entire song.

Hi All, just literally got this out of the box. A used Squire 50s Classic Vibe. Made in China in 2008 which was the first year the Squier released this guitar. The previous owner relic the guitar lightly and I think he did a fairly good job. Once I got it out of the box, all I did was tune up the 9 gauge strings it came with and testing it here with you guys. Real short test with selector in the middle. I just wanted to hear it for the first time with you all. Will do a thorough review soon.

I only played the neck position for this demo. I had to set up the guitar as the action was super high. Changed the 9 guage to 10 gauge DAdario strings. Neck is thick like 50s telecasters and super straight! I was amazed at the sound it made! It was not well boxed and guitar has some small nicks! I guess it is now a relic! LOL! This will be a keepr!

I found this piece in Jens Larsen's YouTube channel and studies it for a week. Very simple arrangement of Autumn Leaves utilizing basic shell voicings only.
