The hard thing with this is like he’s describing something that definitely works, but it’s kind of Zen, there isn’t really a method to becoming melodic improviser exactly except to kind of do what he said, but I think it’s hard for people because it’s it’s not a system. You have to play the music inside you have to find that music is, and then you need to have the guts to actually do it in front of people and be that vulnerable. I think the reason why people like to copy other players is that then they don’t have to put themselves out there. They’re just putting another version of of Eddie Van Halen or David Gilmour or whatever it is. But we need to be brave.

Love the visual fretboard!

Who is playing drums, bass and percussion?

..who’s on the drum kit, he looks very familiar..is that Chris Layton

Very melodic !

Put some shoes on

Sweet, David. I notice the Champ in the background...use it? My '68 is a pretty handy practice tool.

Interesting clip! Sometimes it's best to simply go with your gut. Perhaps "play some wrong notes" is another way of saying "there ARE no wrong notes"...?

Peace Love Cool

Good advice

not just practice....good practice makes perfect. great message here.

I wish that ALL those young ( and old) boys in jazz could just watch this and take heed - - -

Oh yow! Bad-ass licks and tone! Tight band.

Hot tune! Is that 'Whipper' on drums??

Sounding awesome! Incredible hot licks and killer tone...I love this!

Excellent lines and sweet tone from that lovely Tele...nice!

This is, in fact, ‘your dad’s tele’, and I love it.

' sublime' il n'est pas là au hasard 👍🏼🎼👁️

Nice chops dude! Mike Stern meets Robben Ford, with some John Scofield thrown in for good measure! Love it.

nice to see some boomer bends on my math rock feed, well done!

If it helps you, here's what I understood: 1. Learn music theory, but don't just sit and run up and down scales. "Implement" them. 2. Learn to "listen" - to the moment, to the song, to other musicians playing with you. Don't blindly pull out a lick from your lick library. 3. Learn how to "just play". Improvise, try new things, make mistakes. But carefully listen and learn from them. John Scofield is a master of his craft! Thanks!

A lot of talk, I was waiting for the exciting moment that didn't happen.

Wow! David Sanborn! God bless 😎

Thxs David

Some lovely stuff

That's unreal alright.... Tastier than metheny who can test the patience of the limits of melody

He's not bad, is he?

So tasty.....what a gem thanks!

Exelent ❤

Yes !!!

Beautiful Paul sky dog

And he said, back then, “Don’t practice while you’re watching MTV!”.

Sweet information . Thank you

Very cool

Yes

John Scofield is a genius guitarist that wins everyone's heart until today. ❤

Clarity - Brilliance

It's like listening Allen Iverson's practice speech. Incredible

Nice

That is very nice guitar-playing.😳

Nice take on the holey tones bro!

Very tight band and original licks.

how does he make it look so easy, awesome tone

so what hes saying is "practice for application" and that's what he is doing when practicing for an upcoming gig.

SHIT NOT A BLUES !

Roscoe Beck n Bass!

Glad to listen john speaking about what to do and especially what shouldn't be practiced too long or to dwell only on chords Very interesting

Thanks...

🥱
