Got round to watching some of this guy stuff again the last few days, teaches a lot of licks across four separate videos. I just then pick out any licks I like across the four vids, mainly around the bb box which for me is from the ninth fret up (up meaning 9 to 17).
Mainly this one at the moment, within the A minor pentatonic 12-15 (inc half steps) etc...

The grass is greener documentary is good .......shows how jazz musicians used cannabis on a big scale......creatively on high
No, haven't listened to that stuff.
I listened to three of those vids so far, just got the fourth one to go, half the time it's cutting through all the chat, but each video was a progress/improvement on the previous.
I only take out uplifting stuff but not in the overly happy sense, so yes, probably better described a melancholic, but not depressing or sad either, hmmm sort of hard to explain really, I just follow my brain lol.
I take out what I like and to see if I can stitch it in with other stuff. Suppose it's like building blocks of the scale, without the laborious task of learning scales.
Thats the beauty of the blues and blue note jazz. That juxtaposition of minor notes creating a melancholic but uplifting vibe. Musically, that dynamic often happens when you set a minor chord against a major chord.
You find this all over in jazz, but good example of this is Art Blakey’s A chant for Bu. Listen to the first few bars, the way the bass line and then the horns play a minor chord and the juxtapose it with a half note up to play a major chord. You don’t realise the first key is a blue note until it’s paired against the major key.
simple, but brilliant.

Did you see that short Rick Rubin doc I posted the other day ?
I knew him from Def Jam, but I had no idea he went on to produce the Chili Peppers and Johnny Cash amongst others
You ever seen that 80 blocks from Tiffany's doc ?
