den følelse, når du svinger ..
from Masters Of Jazz Guitar, photographer unknown fra Masters Of Jazz Guitar, fotograf ukendt

When the rhythm section is floating, I'll float too, and I'll get a wonderful feeling in my stomach. Når rytmesektion er flydende, vil jeg svæver også, og jeg får en vidunderlig fornemmelse i min mave. If the rhythm section is really swinging, it's such a great feeling, you just want to laugh. Hvis rytmesektion virkelig svinger, det er sådan en fantastisk følelse, du bare vil grine.

ovation ansigt
from JazzMasters Guitar Series fra JazzMasters Guitar serien

Actually, I think of myself more as a composer than as a guitarist. Faktisk tror jeg på mig selv mere som komponist end som en guitarist. I want to be a composer more than anything else. Jeg ønsker at være en komponist mere end noget andet.

I may look like a nice jewish girl from New Jersey, but inside I'ma 50-year-old, heavyset black man with a big thumb, like Wes Montgomery. Jeg kan ligne en pæn jødisk pige fra New Jersey, men inden jeg er 50-årige, heavyset sort mand med en stor tommelfinger, som Wes Montgomery.

I emphasize to my students, rhythm is the most important thing. Jeg understreger at mine studerende, rytme er det vigtigste. It must swing. Den skal svinge. You can play a million notes and you can play a million chords, but unless it's in the groove, unless it feels good, it's not gonna make it. Du kan spille en million noter, og du kan spille en million akkorder, men medmindre det er i rillen, medmindre det føles godt, det er ikke gonna gøre det.

Make sure you're in the pocket, and you'll feel it. Sørg for, at du er i lommen, og du vil føle det. And when it starts to swing, you get a good feeling in your stomach. Og når det begynder at svinge, får du en god fornemmelse i maven. It should swing, it should be loose, you should be dancing when you're playing, it's got to feel good, guys! Det skal svinge, det skal være løst, skal du være danse, når du spiller, er det nødt til at føle sig godt, gutter! It's not so serious, just have a good time. Det er ikke så alvorlig, bare have en god tid.

In The Pocket: how it should sound! I lommen: hvordan det skal lyde!

Franz metronom

When I sit down, the way I practice, I play along with my tape recorder and go out into Trance Land. Når jeg sidder ned, den måde jeg praksis, jeg spiller sammen med min båndoptager og gå ud i Trance Land. No heavy scales, no heavy patterns, I'll make up melodies, I'll play licks, I'll just play music… play along with the metronome. Ingen tunge vægte, ingen tunge mønstre, vil jeg gøre op melodier, vil jeg spille slikker, vil jeg nøjes med at spille musik ... spille sammen med metronom. The metronome is perfection. Metronomen er perfektion. Of course none of us are going to reach perfection, but you can get pretty damn near close. Selvfølgelig ingen af os vil nå perfektion, men du kan få temmelig damn nær tæt på.
