In the "Classroom" @Coach Marc-Andre Seguin has created Apple Music and Spotify playlists for historically significant jazz albums and guitar focused jazz albums. For those who do not have Spotify or Apple Music, I have duplicated these lists on YouTube Music. Here are the links: Historically significant Jazz Albums: https://music.youtube.com/playlist?list=PL67JCS3UfryzMNvop_7HJX2rfkceRRSEW&si=FcJ0esqRIjfmpsax Historically significant Guitar-Focused Jazz Albums https://music.youtube.com/playlist?list=PL67JCS3UfryyYOFavNmIM0cAWHGQ_mLpU&si=qv0rhUr4Cc4zjCRQ NOTE: Coach Marc graciously approved this posting
I recently saw a YouTube from @Coach Marc-Andre Seguin that showed a finger exercise which he picked up from some shredder on the internet. Watch this video and tell me what the heck is going on with me and do you have a similar issue?
I think you will find you are not alone James. I'm no expert but if your range of motion is normal without trying the exercise, I'd say it's a conditioning thing.š«
If youāre a guitarist and a lifelong lover of music looking to finally ācrackā the jazz code, then continue readingā¦ After helping 100s of students to make jazz guitar a walk in the park, and start improvising and comping convincinglyā¦ I was carefully documenting all the most common problems that they were experiencingā¦ And based on that, I developed a step-by-step system that will without fail help people progress way faster with their jazz guitar playing, and avoid the most common pitfallsā¦ I spent literally hundreds of hours just assembling the system in a documentā¦ And YEARS actually figuring it outā¦ And, after keeping these secrets private for a few monthsā¦ I decided to share itā¦ I was thinking about the price itās worthā¦ But if you know me, you know that Iām not a huge advocate of selling informationā¦ In fact, I started to hate courses, memberships, and other crap. I canāt stand all the online gurus that are splitting hair, and not showing students how to play effing songs in the endā¦ So even though this is much different and immensely more valuable than everything elseā¦ I decided toā¦ Give it away. For free. $0. Why? You seeā¦ My belief is that every guitarist deserves to consistently see the progress in their playingā¦ And be certain that he is practicing the right things that will eventually make him/her betterā¦ There isnāt a worse feeling than ārunning in placeā for YEARSā¦ And not having consistent progress and growth in proportion to the time that you put inā¦ So I decided to give my best to help with that. And further onā¦ I will start revealing all of my secrets for free. The first thing youāll get is an extensive guide on how to improvise and comp on the jazz guitar CONVINCINGLY. If you would like to get it, just comment āguideā and Iāll personally send it to you.
Hi all, my name is Reptilicus (actually Ted) and have been playing guitar since 1965. Started on classical guitar when I was 9 yr old . Self taught and played mostly rock and blues. I have recently retired and would like to learn to play jazz for my own pleasure. Besides guitar, I play the clarinet and bassoon.
I used to play in a school orchestra. I took lessons from a principal clarinetist in the Kansas City Philharmonic for years. I only picked up the bassoon as the orchestra director couldn't find another bassoon player and talked me into taking it up. I'm a little guy and the bassoon was as big as I wasš¤Ŗ.
