Excellent lesson really appreciate it. Lots of amazing insights
So much going on here
Brilliant! Excellent explanation for a blues player dipping his toes into Jazz via Grant Green! Thanks
Jazzy AF and one of the best jazz guitar lessons here on Youtube and it's Grant Green he's the holy grail of all jazz guitarists! ???? Definitely a phenomenal subject! ????????????????????????
great lesson!
????
Glad I found your channel Nathan! Real good content you are sharing with us
Cool
Dr, Borton is bring some light to the study of the Jazz Language fasten your seat belts going for a ride
You pick the George Benson way, is that an accurate observation? I hope so, i tried before with just thumb and one finger, you seem to use thumb and two fingers. Well thats the way i'm playing now.
I just want to play guitar exactly like GG does on Live at the Lighthouse. is that TOO MUCH TO ASK!?
(yes… yes it is)
You're the man Nathan! Thanks for all the great videos!
I've been playing guitar and studying Jazz for 50yrs. and I'm finding new ways of looking at things thru your videos, Keep up the Good Work Nathan !!
Really good lesson Nathan!
I suspected that you are highly educated in music besides that you are very good in teaching and analysis of this artform
Keep up the good work
Great approach!
The only thing wrong with this video is that I didn't discover it sooner. Nathan does a phenomenal job of explaining Grant's licks and tricks here. This is an essential video for appreciating Grant's genius, both when it's simple and a bit tricky. The knowledge in this video can be used in so many standards and is a must for anyone's jazz vocab in my opinion. Awesome job Nathan!!! Thank you for your hard work here.
i would love to hear you do grants dracula
These videos are helping me so much! Excellent work…thanks! Can't get enough Grant lessons. I've been trying to track down a tab for Bedouin but haven't had any luck yet…slowly working through it at half speed.
Thanks!

Ah, Grant Green. His more bluesy pieces are my favorite… Like this one, or California Green, or Blues for Willareen, or A Wee Bit of Green…
I saw you last night at Cliff Bells. You and the group did a great job. I hope you will return soon. Thank you for telling me about your YouTube channel which I subscribed to.
thank you for this great analysis, thanks goes also the people who voted for this lesson! Grant is such a unique player, I try to pick up bits from his solos to incorporate in my own playing, I put some examples in my YT channel. I will have to dig deep in this video to understand better what he was going for.
First time here and I really enjoyed it. Learned a lot. Thank you i will definitely be back.
Great lesson- but two questions
1) when you use the V to l method- how do you know when to use it ? You used it in bars 4,6,8,10,12, what is special about those bars that allow you to use it ?
2)in your 12 bar example of using V to l there is only ever one bar of F7, but your lines for F7 requires 2 bars to play it all. Meaning it would all need to be played as 16th notes.
Thanks for clarifying
Any chance you can tab the 30 second intro before the solo? Thank you!
Great stuff thank you. Do you know the repeating intro lick that he plays for the first 30 seconds?
amazing content, sir. Liked and subscribed. Thank you.
I like that you clarified to learn the solo by ear first and only use the PDF as a guide if needed. Time and again, I find that learning by ear takes longer but produces vastly better results.
Thanks for slowing down the examples, it lets me understand what's happening and play along!
Bradley your lessons like this are deep. You obviously have a complete understanding of musical theory. You most likely are also a proficient reader of music notation. And a good guitar player ????
Great video ,,,, thanks ….. Grant rules ¡¡¡
awesome..
Very well done!
Love Grant’s G altered phrasing over the 6th on the 8th bar of his blues. Thanks for covering this. ????
another fab lesson, Nathan… really dig Grant Green
Great video, thanks!
Thankyou very much Nathan for this lesson. Very Cool indeed. Cheers
Grant is one of my very favorite players. Thank you for the wonderful insights.
Lovely, articulate, clear presentation… just like Grant Green's lines!
