A bit of mellow jazz

[jackofall]

I find this sort of thing so difficult! This is the latest exercise my teacher has set me -to record this chord progression and play arpeggios over the top of it plus using the jazz melodic min over the dominant. This is the best I can do, after loads of practice. It's still limited and repetitive, so I threw in my little drum plus bass guitar hoping that extra ingredients may make it taste a bit better. Calling all jazz guitarists.....how can I improve on this?

i envy your range of talent, jackofall.

after reading Graham Collier's (UK Jazz great) book "Jazz", i learned that Jazz should be improvised in the moment. with that, your's is the essense of what Jazz is and needs no improvement.

be cool

Sounds pretty good as it is!
That's the trouble with teachers--- they keep getting you to learn new stuff

really smooth in my book !!!

I do get some distortion tho', may be my cans .....

jazz melodic minor is that when you play the 6th and major 7th on the way p and the +5 and 7th on the way down?

I think you pulled it off really well !!!!!!!


night music for shure !!!

I'd love to hear this one a a dark-sounding hollow-body.  A bit harsh on the treble side for jazz, but I'm loving this.

Very nice playing.

More.

Nice playing, it sounds kinda loose.  Really nice.

I don't have a clue what you are talking about.  But I like the sound of it. I think you did quite well. No improvement needed.
