Blues kicks the tulip out of jazz. Jazz has no soul, blues has.

as bob said: "i don't belive you... you're a liar"

though perhaps with less venom 'cos i don't really care if you can't get it.

personally, i think that there is rather a lot of jazz out there that has plenty of the soul you might be searching for: lady day, charles mingus, miles davis, and fats waller are four that have plenty to spare. mind you, duke ellington, dizzy gillespie, louis armstrong, oscar peterson and ella fitzgerald have a fair bit of feeling in their work too. if you want to know the tracks or albums worth listening to i can supply the details.

Cheers bud.

If I could combine blues with a spinkling of jazz improvisation (bit like Clapton does) I'd feel like the mutz nutz of guitar playing.

Actually I'd suggest Hendrix as a target if that's the kind of sound you want to aim for, probably more of it available written down as sheet music to study.

Yeah, I think your right. All my guitar tuition was from DVDs from Lick Library. They didn't exactly explain it in great detail.

Hmmm - check the modes and you'll find that was what I was saying

Well you would if you didn't bother with aeolyian, mixolydian dorian and phrygian scales. Building blocks for jazz improvisation.

Sounds like a bunch of characters from Star Trek....you forgot the Romulan scale tho...

Kyajoke is just trying to be sophisticated, when in reality he has the intellectual depth of a slug on prozac.

I bow before your harminic omnipotence.

I'm still of the opinion that good melodic jazz improvisation is quite an art form. Being a mere and unworthy blues lead guitarist, jazz style guitar never ceases to amaze me, but I guess being a musical simpleton, anything like that would hold my gaze.

Well, I suggest you learn something about music, cause they are just other names for the things already listed, i.e. aeolyian is a fancy name for a natural minor scale.

As a musician who has spent years studying music theory including all the major/minor modes, harmonic minor, melodic minor, augmented, diminshed scales and all that bollocks, I have concluded that jazz is cack.
