    Hahaha I died at “HOW IS THIS BEGINNER JAZZ” 😂 I’d play jazz with you any day papi
  • "You have a whole language for this genre?" I mean, metalheads do too. We're all djentlemen here, not savages.
  • @Avetarx
    Jazz Musicians: Nooo you can't just play Jazz without properly learning all the basics! Nik: HAHAHA RANDOM CHORD GOES BLURP!
  • @kirehj_sm
    Try with Flamenco or Bossa Nova, trust me, it'll be ok 😎

    Nik playing Metal: Better than me Nik playing Jazz: Still better than me

    "Might as well be a bassist at this point." As a fellow bassist... i wept and nodded in agreement.
  • @ZRisyad
    And I'm here thinking CMaj7 sounds jazzy enough
  • @jessesmac
    I'll never get tired of metal musicians being intimidated by jazz's complexity and finesse, as well as jazz musicians being intimidated by metal's precision and virtuosity.

    As a jazz musician I laughed my ass out nice vid man #1 tip for jazz: REPETITION LEGITIMIZES REPETITION LEGITIMIZES Wanna improv out of key with chromatic notes and avoid notes? Fine, as long as you do it again Wanna improv out of key with chromatic notes and avoid notes? Fine, as long as you do it again Wanna improv out of key with chromatic notes and avoid notes?

  • I feel like jazz is the one genre where lead is easier than playing chords
  • @Splooka
    If you learn Jazz you can write Revocation riffs. Not a bad trade off haha
  • @LucasBozovich
    Nik, chords can have different voicings when playing piano or guitar, but they remove the bottom note of the main chord, and leave that to the bassist. So, some “rootless voicings” as they call them, are more appropriate for certain chords, and try not to clash your voicing with the pianist. Jazz Standards are basically the bread and butter of songs in jazz, blues, Latin, etc.

    "None of these have told me how to play yet. They just said be smarter than everybody." Yep. That's really it.
