learn jazz guitar
Do you think if I learn jazz style piano I’ll be able to play rock?

Starting with the blues with my teacher right now. I told him my favorite genres, equally are jazz and rock, but not fusion. I would like to eventually play keys in my friends’ band, but would also like to eventually be able to gig at some jazz venues. He said something like rock has more in common with classical than jazz, which I kind of agree with, but wouldn’t the depth of chords learned in jazz translate to being able to rock, since I already can do that on guitar.

it comes down to feel, if you’ve got the chords covered all you need is a good sense of rhythm and you’ll have no problems. and everyone knows that the blues had a baby and they named it rock n roll!

Poses.Recording information: 09/25/2001/09/26/2001.Photographer: Judy Schiller.Arranger: Bobby Watson .Live & Learn, Bobby Watson`s Palmetto debut, is an engaging quintet disc featuring Orrin Evans on piano, Greg Skaff on guitar, old friend Curtis Lundy on bass, and up and comer Montez Coleman on drums. It`s a high-spirited record, melding hard bop ("River Jordan," Pamela Watson`s "Stanky P," Dawn Warren`s "Why Not") with more soul-tinged sounds ("We Fall Down," "Live & Learn"). Skaff`s guitar gives the session much of that contemporary bite. The instrument isn`t terribly common in mainstream small-group settings, but Watson, to his credit, uses it to set his music apart in a variety of ways. He duets with Skaff on the mournful "Postlude"; Skaff then switches to acoustic for the effective WTC tribute "Landmarks Lost." On the traditional "Thank You," by contrast, Watson blows freely over a hot swing vamp, backed only by Lundy and Coleman. ("Give me what I need!" he tells the rhythm section at the start of the take.) To wrap up, Watson turns up the heat in 12/8 on the Sammy Davis, Jr. vehicle "I`ve Gotta Be Me." Passionate and accessible, Watson`s music deserves wider recognition, and Palmetto`s stature as a strong jazz indie can only help. ~ David R. Adler Copyright (C) Muze Inc. 2005.
