Joe Pass on Rhythm Changes - 3 Solid Bebop Strategies

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=u6WX2gWmCb0&t=0s&index=2&list=PLWYuNvZPqqcGL6xp7HorXVOHTdDlnl8MDI guess there are two things you need to study if you want to learn Jazz Guitar: Rhythm Changes & Joe Pass! So it makes sense to check out a Rhythm Changes Joe Pass Solo! To most people, and certainly if you ask Mike Stern and John Scofield, Joe Pass is where they went to learn Jazz Guitar.His technique and swinging bebop phrasing is a bible of information for learning to play jazz, both in terms of the notes and melodies but also in terms of phrasing and swing feel. In a similar way Rhythm Changes is where you really start learning many of the things you need to know in order to play Jazz: Improvising over chord changes, playing 8th note lines, turnarounds. In this videoI am taking a look at a few phrases from Joe Pass' solo on Oleo off the Duo album "Chops" where he plays with Danish bass-player: Niels Henning Ørsted Pedersen.Hope you like it!

Rhythm Changes Chords - Hidden in the Easy Chords

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ov6fYJHwULo&index=6&t=0s&list=PLWYuNvZPqqcE0p5ov2w48Gh9Luyja4hmR

Rhythm Changes Chords are essential to check out. If you want to explore jazz and bebob guitar then the rhythm changes progression is a must. The progression is often used and parts of it are common in countless other songs.

In this lesson I will first go over a basic set of chord voicings (with chord diagrams or chord boxes) to play the progression. I will then expand on these voicings by first turning them into rootless voicings. Then I will show you how you can start making variations of the top notes to create more interesting comping ideas like that. Finally I will go over how you can even add notes and create another set of 4-note voicings.

Seven Come Eleven

Seven Come Eleven is a rhythm changes contrafact written by early modern jazz guitarist Charlie Christian and swing era giant Benny Goodman. Their musical partnership is notable as one of the first high-profile, racially-mixed musical teams in jazz. Sadly on today’s album the song is credited solely to Goodman, perhaps because it was first recorded in 1939 by the Benny Goodman Sextet, of whom Christian was a member. I’ve 

It’s Aussie Friday, so today’s performance is from the album A to Z of Jazz, by James Morrison and the Melbourne Symphony Orchestra, and the guitar soloist is Doug de Vries. 

Doug de Vries is based in Melbourne, and was the resident guitarist in the house band on Channel Seven's Steve Vizard's Tonight Live (early 90s), and also played in Vince Jones’ band for over a decade. 

James Morrison is one of Australia’s most prominent jazz musicians and an incredible talent. While he is known mainly for trumpet, and perhaps trombone, he also plays and performs on tuba, euphonium, flugelhorn, saxophone, clarinet, double bass, guitar, and piano. 

In March 2015 Morrison opened the James Morrison Academy of Music in Mount Gambier, South Australia – a tertiary level, dedicated jazz school offering a degree in jazz performance.

It can be difficult to have a large vocabulary of lines when improvising over fast moving chord progressions like Rhythm Changes. One way to access some more ideas is to solo over substitute changes and then get some more options by thinking the substituted chords on top of the normal turnaround.

In this video I will go over 5 variations and show how you can use those to generate new ideas for your solos.
