Dear Rob🙂 I'm looking forward to it, yet it's way over my head. I'm 67 and have been playing mostly bass since I was 16, without having any knowlegde of music theory of any kind. Now I've been digging deep into that for about 2years and finally got a grip on all the basic and some intermediate stuff. I'm still courious about the subject, but right now, it's time for me to pick-up my guitar again and practice triads, their inversion and how they relate to scales and modes. It's gonna take time, I know, but thanks to increddible teachers like you Rob, I feel confident and ready for it. Thank you

Sounds fantastic. I love the way you break down these kind of approaches and make them applicable to all of us, no matter what style we play. You enable us to find the voice for our own inner music.

Thanks to your fantastic guitar videos Rob and my own dedicated practice I am now ready to participate in a jam session with conservatory trained musicians surely a 251 but I have a Bossa thing up my sleeve with 9th chords that are movable - I can play that for hours. Rob you are the best in the world to teach Guitar and thank you for sharing your incredible experiences and deep theoretical insight with the world. This year's Oscar for best online guitar teacher goes to: Rob from QJamTracks both for his enormous knowledge, his way of conveying it and his unique graphics that stand out significantly. Ps: I like your Dutch humor :-) Rob - THANKS ! :-) You expand the musical universe - for the whole world ;-)

Absolutely,! Always had the belief that jazz was very complex and condensed. I could hear bits and pieces of melodies blazing in improvisations that could be songs by themselves. Then I discovered cool jazz, steely Dan, etc, and thought how many cool compositional devices could be used in many styles, from pop to prog metal.

I'm vaguely aware of the idea (I'm not a jazz guitarist) so it would be interesting to see it explained.

Mmm ... What about the Coltrane Pentatonic Scale ? ... "unplayable" in a guitar ... that long interval kills digitation ...

Hi Fellow Guitarist!
Since you are a subscriber of my channel (QJamTracks Guitar Tutorials) I want you to know that I’m working on a video about a subject that is fairly unknown outside of Jazz. Yet it is very usable for all us in any style. And it really sets your progressions and outside sounding solos apart from the rest.
The name is “Coltrane Changes” or “Coltrane Matrix”, once invented by one of the most influential musicians of his era: Saxophonist John Coltrane.
The upcoming tutorial is about the unique progression itself and a tiny bit about improvising. If you think it’s interesting enough (please, let me know in a comment), then I will make a second video with improvisation ideas that comprehend “triad arpeggios”, “pentatonic substitutions” and even “quartal chord arpeggio” ideas.
With this you can create outside sounds, but also very beautiful and lovely sounds.
Anyway, if you have any questions or requests, don’t hesitate to share your thoughts with me.
I hope you will enjoy the video… when it’s ready.
Regards!
Rob van Hal
