This is one of the best jazz lessons ever. It’s scaffolded, it constantly and consistently builds upon something that has just been learned….there’s depth and complexity….
I’m absolutely going to incorporate this into my personal guitar and voice studies as well as challenge my choir students over the next semester! Brilliant guys. Thanks!

This stuff is exactly what I needed. I understand enclosures and how to attack them to scales but how to practice this stuff has been alien to me. This shows me how. More exercises like these would be greatly appreciated. Thanks for sharing

man, I'm too poor to go pro, I'm following all of ur videos and I can only say thanks. I'm looking for a job that allows me to go pro ASAP

I'm also translating for guitar... it all works. Adam's "Major Scale in Eight Ways" is a must for guitarists at any level!

These exercises are frying my old blues rock brain...and I LOVE IT!!!

@HollyFayHolverson777 3 years ago

This is great information. What I'd like to see next is how to use this info over a song or just a blues progression. How to hook everything together using this info instead of being over just one chord or a static harmony

I'm only on Exercise #2 and my mind is BLOWN lmao. I always wondered where these guitarists were pulling these enclosures from. I feel like you can at least fake the funk if you know some of the basic structure of jazz lines. This definitely helped so much and I'm a guitarist. Thank you thank you thank you.

Adam is a fantastic teacher. His explanations are clear, logical and often funny. 😄

I love the way you say "we've been playing for 25 minutes now". Try 3 days half an hour or so a day man and I still have the last exercise to do !!!! but how much learning do I get (a guitarist) off you pianists? Brilliant thanks Adam.

@dervishcapkiner1023 4 years ago

I'd be interested to know the reasoning behind the left hand fingering here - sometimes the target note is the thumb with a crossover, sometimes the ring finger with a crossover but a lot of the times it's a little flip under with the pinky on the target note - there could be no reason of course and it might be impromptu fingering but I'd love to know more details on this please. Thank you
