And now we turn the propeller heads loose on Coltrane...

Gulp.

Fascinating I was always terrible at improvisation, no way I'd ever be able to keep up with that pace of chord changes! That first video really illustrates just how hard it can be, even for the greats.

I love your analogy.

You have a knack of making quip and witty remarks. (As above).
Your analogies are often cleverly fabricated . . I have noticed this in many of your posts.

Anyway. . Just wanted to say that!

As you were!

Actually here's a few more on music theory from Adam Neely. The guy has hundreds of videos on advanced music theory and production techniques. This dude really knows his stuff.

Don't know if I've got the brain power for that today...

Taking music theory to the deepest depths . . Way too deep for me.
I would drown in the first bar.

To be honest Gary, I did not watch much of those vids. They would do my head in.

Ray . . At the shallow end.

The way I see it is, if I absorb at least 1% of what I see in these I'm already 100% smarter than I was before

You learn something every day ... sometimes several things - thanks. This is the mobius strip of progressions but there are several like that that seem to make you shift an octave without any intention of doing so. When I was a teen, our lead guitar said he was 'learning jazz': when asked what that meant he said "you move around a lo"' ... 'why' was a little too advanced. Zappa musician Ruth Underwood said she was always told to be heavy on the II - starting to make sense.

When I was 26, I could learn several things in one day....now, at 66, it requires several days to learn one thing.....this progression would probably take about 3 months

When I listened to the pianist soloing, I thought it would be good exercise for me to transcribe into notation..... when Mr. Coltrane took over, I immediately habituated a Staten Island accent (no small feat for a Tennessee boy) and said "fuhgedaboudit"......

These kinds of videos are most useful. Some I might gloss over because the narrator raves on but I usually I end up with a new tip or two. Some vids are very helpful indeed and new methods and learning curves definitely enhance my playing.
Thanks Gary.
Cheers Ray
