Oops sorry
Are you doing this by ear or by reading transcriptions?
There’s the Charlie Parker Omnibook for C instruments that may prove helpful along with any other ways you’re attempting to do this. I have it but have yet to dive into it. Most folks say it’s a great resource. It’s available on Amazon if you’re interested.
By ear as I don't read notation.
This is where looping comes in handy.
If you're into learning classic jazz lines have a look at
Freedom Jazz dance by Eddie Harris, Straight no Chaser by Theolinous Monk and Billies Bounce by Charlie Parker.
The first two were set pieces for my improv band before the Lockdowns,
really good for warming up.
Thanks for the suggestion however nah I'm not interested as I don't read notation.
Understandable. I don’t read great myself. Started learning very late in my journey but it’s been very useful.
I did start reading music notation when I was at school (decades ago)
however when I discovered that you can use an Atari for writing music I focused on that instead.
@Gravitas the most beneficial thing that reading has done for me is help me learn the fretboard and internalize where the notes are at. When you have to play a D# for example you have to search and figure out where the D# notes are at on the fretboard. It’s a little slow going at first but over time it’s been extremely helpful in learning guitar for me. Now i actually prefer charts over Tab.
In that regards I'm sorted as I've been playing solid for decades though I do agree internlizing the fretboard is a must.
I do octave jumps either linear or veritcal as part of my warm ups and
I also practice scales moving a semitone along and then back,
I also do modal stuff so if I start in C maj, I go up in C major and then come down in D Dorian and up in E phrygian etc
until I reach C maj past the twelth fret and then I reverse it, really good for practicing sweeps.
I used to do jazz covers, originals and duos and the amount of times I've had to transpose on the fly is crazy.
I'm not a speed demon, I'm a solid melodic player with occasionaly bursts of speed.
Right now I've changed my picking technique and I'm going for the closed fist technique.
@Uprightmusic
By the way I saw the photo of your music room, it's an inspiring space.
Oh thank you!
@Gravitas I’m not a fast player either haha…I do have bursts of speed like you described but I’m much more focused on phrasing. sounds like you have much more experience under your belt than I do 😊. I’m really more of a beat maker and lofi beat enthusiast, but I’ve always had a guitar…the last 6 or 7 years I’ve decided to take guitar seriously and dive deep into Jazz theory…it’s definitely improved my ear and the music I make. I’m no where near where I’d like to be as a guitar player but I’m definitely enjoying the process.
Phrasing is more important than speed in my book.
I like every note I play to have meaning.
My approach is more Miles Davis than anything else which is that it's better to play one note beautifully.

I'm no were near where I would like to be as a guitarist or any of the instruments I play
however it's a lifelong journey and I like yourself am enjoying the process. 😊
I totally agree about the Miles sentiments.
Anyone know or hear of Rick Toone?
So tempted to Rickroll this one...
I wish you didn’t hold back
I have no idea what that is.
Hit me!!!!
Nah. It's a way overused meme. I'd never do that to you. But here's a Wikipedia article that explains what Rickrolling is.
I know threads can go off topic but this one completely derailed. I thought the guitarist data base was really interesting, I'm disappointed the idea fell apart.

Cest la vie

That’ll get it back on track @abf
Check that out
Man those look really cool. Unfortunately I’m into Big huge Jazz Boxes and Strats. Sometimes I wish I was a metal player. 🤪
New pictures posted on the official Dime Guitarz website have confirmed that we will witness the return of the Culprit – a rare build from the late 1990s that Dimebag himself designed, and that had originally been constructed by Washburn.

I love strats myself - my favorite is the ESP version of the vintage fender Strat, sort of a super Strat in disguise … the esp snapper is my favorite player i have actually and its a 9.5-12” radius!! Totally opposite of my “metal” guitars but I reach for it everytime
Wow/ just wow!!! Good catch, now that IS news and very exciting .
Dimebag is a genius - this is great.
Thanks
I found the most amazing guitar in the world
Idk if anyone heard of Aristides but these are so unique and glorious
First time I played a guitar and said THIS is worth the price
Anyone else try one? If not I encourage you to especialy in Europe where they are available
Definitely seen plenty of Aristides. Very nice looking guitars. I can't tell if that one has fanned frets. That's one thing I can't imagine ever using though I've only tried 1 guitar with fanned frets. I have a cheap headless that I've modified to be fairly decent to play. I'm a big fan of the headless guitars.
That's a beauty @yellow_eyez. Hadn't heard of Aristides, but I was lucky enough to pick up a Strandberg recently and love it!
Stranbergs are awesome - ola is a legendary luthier. Is yours a Swedish one I’m assuming ?@pbelgium
What pickups you got in there bro?
That’s r really a nice color and guitar . Ola did fans the best out of all fans I think. Starts straight and gradually fans
It’s cool because it’s like a vintagey sea foam
With classic white pick guard ; but it’s such a wild design that couldn’t be further from retro…cool choice: I need a spec sheet dude lol
Yeah headless are really the best , once you have a nice balanced headless in your lap it feels so freeing
Oh yes btw mine does have a light light fan:25-26” so the low end is slightly baritone and high end is Actually short by half an inch
Beautiful guitars.
Boden Classic in viridian green with Suhr V60LP's and a Thornbucker Plus - spec here. You're right, headless guitars are so light and well balanced and feel so good, I haven't picked up my Strat since I got it.
That must be a really light guitar. I like the recessed areas on the front.
