Admin admin Posted May 21, 2020 Admin Report Share Posted May 21, 2020 In this tutorial you can learn how to play a smooth jazz guitar. when it comes to smooth jazz the guitar lines have to be smooth relaxed and have a great phrasing. It's the phrasing which makes the smoothness and the difference between cool and very smooth jazz guitar lines in this genre. I broke down three main phrasing tricks which you can use to enter this really great genre of smooth jazz even if you're not so experienced in jazz guitar playing. In the first part of the tutorial I get some technical advice how you can build up your speed with the pentatonic or the minor scales and then I show you three rhythm figures and phrasing tricks which you can use in any situation by using any scale you like. When you analize protagonist of smooth jazz like Lee Ritenour, George Benson or other players it more or less leads to these three rhythm figures in any combinations.The combination of those three figures I am showing you if any notes you are using makes you a pro in smooth jazz guitar even if you're not experienced in jazz and you get a lot of fun in this kind of playing. But take your time to build up the speed which is needed to play 16 notes in the genres.

Members Andrea Joy Posted May 25, 2020 Members Report Share Posted May 25, 2020 Hi HP ...here is some feedback: I was learnig the scales, for 4 days and jammed sometimes. Today I jammed to the track, with the smartphone beside, because I wanted to track the rythmic idea that you can hear in the beginnig. That was a key moment i had while jamming. I will study that more! I put the recording ?in the daw and pushed the gain and did fades in and out. I always play a hole step downtuned and in 432hz. SO I converted the Backingtrack also. Ok thats no brilliant recording... but it makes me happy and the somehow wellknown melodys dropped out. I will find the tune, I think it was a 70s hit ? I come to new rhythmic ideas and begin to understand the 16tel lines better. It is just the beginning and for fun. Yes some notes are off ?? Thank you for the lesson!!. I'll keep on playing much more time with this.... and sent you the results some day ?

Admin admin Posted May 26, 2020 Author Admin Report Share Posted May 26, 2020 Hey Andrea, thanks for your feedback. I am glad this tutorial brought you some great motiviation and inspiration to work on scale and those 3 pretty simple rhythm ideas. The reason why the the gain fades in and out might be because it gets compressed and that pumping effect is pretty common when you overdo this effect. I see you work with 432Hz tunings too ? I have a page about that https://farbmusik.com/eng/432hz.html I will do more on 16th lines to understand it even better in the future. I was not able to download the recording - somehow it said something like this is an educational page but no download.

Members Andrea Joy Posted May 26, 2020 Members Report Share Posted May 26, 2020 I upload the file as MP3 in this message. Don't know why the dropboxlink does not work here. In my other guitarforum it works. HP I ment i did fade in and out on my Jam recording :-) Hope you get the file now. Greets Andrea PS: DO you play your Farbmusic in 432 all the time?

Admin admin Posted May 26, 2020 Author Admin Report Share Posted May 26, 2020 Ok I'll check it tomorrow or so when I am in the studio. I could download the file here. I don't play in 432Hz all the time but on piano I really like it but I soon will start to do it on guitar as well. I love 432Hz ?

Members Andrea Joy Posted May 26, 2020 Members Report Share Posted May 26, 2020 FIne ? I'm allready progressing on the tune... I am more secure and relaxed and learn to fit the chords better. Im checking the way it goes: I rest on the note, slide forward or backward and rest again. The timing is nearly everything. Im beginning to learn after long times of noodeling the guitar ?

I hear that you doing pretty well with those rhythm figures. Just keep it going - the more relaxed you get the more smooth the rhythm comes along. ?

Members Pete C. Posted November 29, 2020 Members Report Share Posted November 29, 2020 Hey HP, Another great tutorial here! I can't wait till I can breeze thru these scales as effortlessly as you do.🤞 I can tap my foot when I play chords but it's a different ball game on leads and scales/impov for me. Feels like I'm starting all over...🤦♂️. Oh yeah, and I gotta relax too. Thanks again! Randy 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes thats normal - playing chords is not so complex then improvising. You can try to do exercises where you improvise but focus on your foot. Meaning instead on focusing to play a lot of notes, try to focus to have your foot right and then play one note you really want and hear.
