Freeform Jazz (improvised everything)

Thank you to CMA for sponsoring this video. Check out In Their Boots:

Jahari Stampley show us how to freeform jazz!

My guitar courses are available within the Guitareo membership :)
Also, my beginner course, GuitarQuest, is still available on its own too

The channel is supported in part by Sweetwater’s affiliate program. Thanks for that!

Mom enters, improvises a song. Refuses to explain. Leaves.

Honored to be a part 🙌🏿❤️ but the real questions:
is this a sign for DJazz 2?
is this a sign for a guitar & piano duo show in the future? 👀

YEAH!!! GET IT MOM!!! Grammy nominated and you could tell she was trying to be humble and not take the spotlight from her son. Very heartwarming.

"I'm just trusting my hands to touch notes" - that's the most JAZZ thing I've ever heard

[stingpingking]

amazing to see rob continuing to get on with his youtube career despite the adversity he’s facing. i wish you the best man we’re all here to support you

[drpibisback]

Damn, not even thirty seconds in and you know this guy can _Jazz._

[lurmirari]

darn the saxophone and piano duo moment, that's great, making music together is such a great way to bond, and growing up with that? amazing

[QQyoko]

Some of this reminds me of something Victor Wooten said: "If you hit a wrong note, you're only a half step from hitting the right note. People respond to the movement, not the key, so if you can move the wrong note to a note in key and keep the time, it'll sound good." Loosely paraphrased, but the point stands.

This has turned into Mister Rogers for music dorks and I am here for it. Like if all this channel ever does is show me how much musicians of all stripes fall in love with what they do, I’m here for it

[HSithis]

10 solid minutes of Rob being so amazed he cant stop saying "and now do this". incredible

[blockstewrat]

Eventually we need a symphony of every Musician you’ve worked with in these types of videos

[chrisberg]

I could listen to Jahari improv for hours

[aggonzalezdc]

I love that Rob instinctually recognized the concept of the similarities between language and improvisation, the difference between a prepared speech and a conversation. It's why we often talk about group improvisation being a conversation between instruments, and the concept of "fluency" with an instrument. I'm fluent in percussion, I can just "talk", however or whatever I like, I can't do that with piano even if I can speak a lot of the "language."

Tbh I could just watch 3 hours of "play this song but make it jazzy and sad, now take this song and make it jazzy and happy"

[TheSilent]

I was already enthralled completely, but then mom came in with the saxophone and I was done for. Watching them flow effortlessly back and forth was absolutely breathtaking!

[iheartswinub]

Dude that section where he was playing with his mom was absolutely magical, that was insanely impressive I’m mind blown

[harryberman]

What I love: Rob is a true music aficionado - and it is clear he is feeling the vibe of great musicians improvising. And how cool to see mum and son having fun.

[MaybeAnnatar]

I'm sure you'll never see this Rob, but thank you for not only sharing your diagnosis with us but also showing us you can continue on. Your video caused me to realize that a lot of what you described were things I was also experiencing and it inspired me to talk to a professional about it...and it turns out I also had BP1. You sharing your struggles made me feel properly seen for the first time in my entire life and this week I started medication. I'm still not balanced out, but you may have helped me more than you'll ever know.

[donvnielsen]

It's amazing how a good jazz musician can elevate the sound of another musician.
