Steve Herberman - Comping - Ballads and Jazz Waltz Clips from Steve Herberman's Master Class "Comping Concepts Part II: Ballads and Jazz Waltz" on www.mikesmasterclasses.com (available for download). In this second class on comping well look at ballads and jazz waltzes and the types of comping that work well for each. Tunes will include My Romance, In A Sentimental Mood, Emily and West Coat Blues. On ballads, chordal fills will be demonstrated along with the integration of single notes and double stops in appropriate places backing the melody. Voice leading with usage of upper structure triads and passing chords will be shown using both rootless voicings and conventional drop 2 and drop 3 shapes. On jazz waltzes well add aspects of rhythmic displacement and the use of half notes to create over the bar line phrasing. Also well continue with essential tone comping and expanding the voicings to include extra notes. Some of the phrases that are included in the written examples are reminiscent of Ed Bickert and Jim Halls comping. Having a clear idea of voice leading through chord changes along with rhythmic diversity and swing, will make comping more effective, creative and fun!

Steve Herberman - The Inner Line Except from Steve Herberman's Master Class "The Inner Line", available for download at wwww.mikesmasterclasses.com. Improvising in the chord melody style can be taken to new heights when inner lines are employed that are musical and played with finesse. This class will deal specifically with inner lines, or lines that are played between a melody note and a bass note. The melody and bass notes are important providing the necessary framework for solo chord melody playing. As an alternative to the common chord form approach to chord soloing well examine how to make something unique and musical happen between the bass and melody. The inner line concept can be a satisfying way of personalizing ones chord soloing. Often the success of a good inner line depends upon choosing a good melodic line that resolves well and having a good flexible technique to make the line seamless, maintaining the independence of the two parts. A flexible technique can be achieved by practicing the studies set forth in this class so that true improvisation in this style can happen naturally. Using principles that George Van Eps outlines in his harmonic mechanisms books some of the lines will be given a bebop/hardbop update and Ill demonstrate the types of fingerings employed to make these lines happen between 2 outside sustained notes. The class should make it possible for the player to improvise more interesting arrangements in the chord melody style. Be prepared for a true left hand finger workout leading to much greater finger independence!

Steve Herberman - Electric Fingerstyle Guitar Excerpt from Steve Herberman's Master Class 7/4/08 on www.mikesmasterclasses.com , where recorded classes are available. Topics Steve covers in class include: Achieving a full sound before plugging into an amp, ideal free stroke angles, muting techniques, all things nail; nail lengths, nail shapes, filing etc, left hand slurs, right hand one finger sweeps, discussion of string gauges and types, alternating index and middle, alternating index and ring, using the same finger to play 2 and 3 consecutive notes between slurs, pattern picking, and more. Written examples accompany the video that further clarify the right hand fingerstyle picking techniques applied to distinct musical phrases. In the examples the left hand notation is also given to show the optimal positions that make the lines swing, project and yield a horn-like phrasing and articulation that can only occur when both hands are in sync and balanced. Fingerstyle guitar can add another dimension to your electric playing by expanding the variety of textures and adding counterpoint much more easily.

Steve Herberman - Composing and Improvising Strong Melodies Excerpts from Steve Herberman's Master Class 6/10/08 on www.mikesmasterclasses.com (recordings availble for download). Steve's description of this class: Creating memorable melodies can be challenging, especially in the midst of an improvised solo. In this class we'll examine a wide array of great melodies and see what makes them eminently sing-able and memorable. The makings of a great melody involve the balancing of the three elements of music: harmony, rhythm and melody. By studying a wide variety of melodies of the master American popular song composers and jazz improvisers, I'll illustrate the concepts behind what make these phrases work. Once these devices are explored they can translate into the creation of consistently strong and swinging melodies. Concepts will include: weaving guide tone lines into a melody, melodic and rhythmic repetition, scale and arpeggio usage, line contours, rhythmic displacement, phrase length considerations, how to build lines that swing, creating lines from chord extensions and melodic embellishment. Also I'll demonstrate chord visualization as an aid to see the melodic/harmonic connection on the guitar fingerboard. Using existing melodies as a springboard for your improvisations can be invaluable and there will be written examples of all of these as well as video demonstrations. Get ready for a fun and meaningful study of melody. Tags: Stever Herberman Composing Improvising Melodies Melody Melodic Jazz Guitar Mike's Master Class Guide Tone Lines Swing

Steve Herberman - Odd Meters Excerpt from Steve Herberman's "Odd Meters" Master Class on 3/17/08 on www.mikesmasterclasses.com. Although utilized for many years in jazz and other styles, odd meters has become an essential part of today's jazz. The uses of odd meters are many: As a phrasing device enabling a player to solo and comp over the bar line in 4/4 time. As an effect to utilize in one's original compositions and to create fresh arrangements of standards and much more! Once the 5/4 and 7/4 common rhythmic patterns are examined and practiced, soloing and comping can feel as natural as it does in 4/4. In this masterclass we'll be looking at the many useful rhythmic patterns in odd meters and applying them to 4/4 tunes as well as standards arranged in 5/4 and 7/4. Pairing these rhythmic concepts with melodic/harmonic concepts will be stressed to enable the musician to more rapidly integrate odd meters on their instrument. An example of this would be arpeggiating diatonic 9th chords in an even stream of 8th notes. The 9th chords contain 5 notes that will give a 5/8 phrasing to the line. Take one triad and its neighboring diatonic7th chord and you have 7 notes that will yield 7/8 phrasing. This is one of many exercises that will be in the written examples accompanying the class. Other examples will include: Applying odd meters to solo guitar, arranging standards in odd meter, pattern picking odd meters, comping and soloing with odd meters and more. Take your playing into the future with rhythmic assuredness and confidence! Tags: Steve Herberman Odd Meters Rhythm Syncopation Jazz Guita Mike's Master Classes 5/4 7/5 5/8 7/8
