Re: My attempt over Blues in Green (Miles Davis)

Hi buddy,
Thank you for your message. Blue in Green is not a blues. This is a jazz tune with some very interesting chord changes. You can't just play pentatonic there, you would miss a lot of chord tones and tensions displayed in the chord sheet.
Happy holidays!

Re: Howdy!

Hi Angelo! Welcome onboard! I used to play the Blues for years and still feeling like discovering how much music one can play simply using a I-IV-V progression witn the only five notes of the pentatonic... Even more for about the last couple years... Since I did start learning tho play Shakuhachi (...

My attempt over Blues in Green (Miles Davis)

Hi all and Merry Christmas! :xmas_1: This music from Miles Davis has always seemed very enigmatic to me : the mood, the peculiar chord changes. I always wanted to try to play over it but never did. This is my take on it. That's not an easy tune for sure. Hope you will like it. https://www.youtube.co...

I'm glad you enjoyed Scott's solo!
I didn't know Peter Green (please don't hit me!). Wow, he's deep!

Re: My 1st 12 bar blues!

Hi Angelo, Did listen to you post :think: If I could say simple things... one would be: forget about velocity even when playing over a fast groove... two would be: do not play that much "outside", take care of the pitch as you're bending note and focus on the "main 3 types" of v...

Re: My 1st 12 bar blues!

Hello mate!
Thank you so much for taking time to listen and give your feddback! Very much appreciated!
I will definitely take your suggestions (along with 12bar's) into consideration.
I think I should start to transcribe blues solos as well. It will help to build the vocabulary.
Happy holidays!

Re: My 1st 12 bar blues!

Thank you dear admin for your message !
Interesting because I thought that the 1st one was more raw and therefore more "blues" than the 2nd one.
See how good of a blues player I am ? lol :think: :easter2:
Thanks again and happy hollidays! :D

My 1st 12 bar blues!

Hi all, As I said in my introduction post I'm more of a fusion player. I grew up listening to rock then quickly switched to fusion player (Holdsworth, Scott Henderson mainly but also others). So I didn't really focus on blues. Eventually I decided to try to play over a 12 bar blues progression and u...

Re: Scott Henderson.

SH is a monster player. He plays blues amazingly. I love his tone and his feeling! Some criticize is (over)use of the whammy bar but to me it brings all the expression of his voice on the guitar!
