Berklee Guitar Sessions
I need some Jazz-vice?
I'm 16 and been playing guitar for 6 yrs and singing for about 2. I started out playing just delta and Chicago blues and digressed into soul, R&B, and some jazz. My problem is that i know Berklee is a very rock oriented music school but is also highly influenced on Jazz. Jazz...I like it one day and the next i can't listen to it. I love getting that energy that runs through your body when you're playing or listening to the blues. I can't get that feeling in Jazz but yet it seems so essential to my playing and my career as a musician. especially for future gigs and session work. I also listen to folk stuff like Neil Young and Norah Jones. I can listen to that stuff but Jazz seems to either be there or not. I know all my scales, modes blah blah blah. It does come into my playing and is important as a musican along with sight reading and ear training but when i try to use all these calculations and notes while playing it takes away from the roots and simpleness of music. Any advice?
Look up a guitarist/teacher called Robert Conti. His teaching takes a different approach to what you discussed.
He has a number of training aids on his web site and he's big on the playing-by-ear method.
