Chords for "The Lick" Easy Jazz Guitar Lesson, Timeless Classic - Quick Jazz Guitar Tutorial

_ _ _ [Bb] _ _ [Fm] _ [Bb] _ _
_ [Bbm] _ _ Hello, [N] my name is Marc from jazz guitar lessons.net for a quickie video.
So here it is
I'm trying to break the record of the shortest video lesson on the website.
So here we go
I recently stumbled upon a video on the interwebs that I found really funny and really instructive at the same time
It's called the lick.
I see the link in the description or right here for links
So there's a lick part 1, the lick part 2 and basically what it is
It's a compilation of all the times you hear the same lick coming around
By jazz players, but there's also pop music folk music or classical music it like it the radar does not stop at jazz, right?
I think I wrote down a list here of all the people that were one of their Pat Mettini jazz stars
You know John Coltrane Robin Eubanks Joshua Redman
Esperanza Spalding Dave Brubeck key Jarrett John Petitouchi Michael Brecker, of course the Wayne Shorter group
I think it was a piano player doing that and even Guthrie Govan, you know that that UK shredder
Guy is on the list.
So you see the lick is a [A] very powerful thing
So I wanted to first today show it to you.
So here we go.
You're ready.
That's [C] it. _ _
[Gm] _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
[N] And
Secondly, I wanted to explore
Harmonic possibilities not just this is a lick here it is.
Where can we apply this in the music?
so on which chord changes and in what
Where basically it's a short lesson.
So there's no tabs.
There's no PDF.
There's nothing that's what you see is what you get, right?
So
What I like about this it goes to show that we always like the basically the same materials
I mean, we're always playing the same musical ideas and we are all drawn
to
similar melodic materials in the end and it's funny because
Nowadays if you hear a guy play this he might do might do it
Like look I'm referencing to the fact that I saw this on YouTube
But I did it like wink wink look but before that I mean in
1965 when John Coltrane played it.
I don't think it was a thing yet
I don't think I don't think people were aware of the lick
So I think there's even a Facebook group
You can look it up on the internet and join and wherever you find a lick happening and on YouTube on a recording you can
Share it there.
So let's get going
First show you the lick then show you the context and let's try to make this under five minutes.
You're ready
Grab your guitar.
Go go go.
So
Pentatonic a minor.
Let's do this here.
Yes, you know this a minor pentatonic shape started a [Em] fret 5
_ [Bm] That's where
[Am] _
_ [C] Like that's where we play blues [Gb] usually as beginners, right?
So let's learn
The two [Bb] components of it first note is D
I like to do it in the context of C major [E] because it's easy to relate to it.
So C
[Dm] _ D-e-f sorry, [D] _ _ _ _ [Em] that's the first part of the lick second part of lick here.
_ So
[C] _ [G] All strings two and three [Em] so
_ _ [C] _ _
_ [G] One last time
_ [F] _ [Em] _ _
[G] people usually slide it slide it into like I
_ [Gm]
Don't know [N] why but it's like that's how it comes out, right?
_ Especially I think bad mutiny does that like slides it in?
So that that's it.
That's the lick what I like to do as a perspective from C major [Gb] is this is not just on a C
Major C major chord, right?
[C] I like to see it like a D minor [Dm] 7 sort of sound _
_ _ _ _ I like to do D minor 9 like [Am] this
_ [D] _ _ _ _ It sounds nice because it's a D you [G] can think of it like the song [F] so what like D Dorian so all the notes are
from C major but
[E] the mode is D D minor so
[C] _ _ _ [Am] _ _ [D] _
_ _ _ [Am] Right and there are [G] countless variations that we will not get to cover today in terms of rhythms
_ [Em] _ _ _
That would be one or we could do
_ _ _ [Db] _
_ [C] _ _ [G] Like [Gb] there's no there's not enough time in the video to cover everything
But at least you can get the raw materials to develop the lick in other ways
Second perspective the first one was D minor right second perspective would be a minor [Am] 7 here.
So a minor 7 or
_ _ _ [D] _ _
_ _ [C] _ _ _ _ _ _
_ [D] Sorry
_ _ _ Hold [Em] on
_ _ It [Gb] sounds like a minor 7 or a minor natural or a minor [Abm] Dorian depending so [D] that's it _ _
_ _ [C] _ Then [F] you can go and use your pentatonic, right?
And the last way I think that is relevant to learn the lick [Em] is in C major
So C major [E] 7 C major 6 9 or C major [G] sort of sound _
_ _ _ _ [A] _ _ _ _
_ _ _ [Em] _ _ [C] [D] You _
[G] _ Know so now you have three uses you have one you [Gb] lick under your belt, so I'll let you go
I don't know if we broke the record of the shortest lesson ever
On the website, but anyways make good use of this lick be aware of it.
Listen to Miles Davis [F] recordings
West Montgomery and such and try to find oh, that's where they play the lick
Look at the two videos which you can find the description look up the Facebook group and I'll see you soon on
