McCoy Tyner Jazz Guitar Tribute Lesson

This is a special tribute lesson to McCoy Tyner, a very influential jazz pianist who I was sad to learn passed away on March 6, 2020. For those guitarists who are new to jazz or not familiar with this name, McCoy was none other than the pianist with John Coltrane's 4tet. In this lesson I show you how McCoy Tyner's left and right hand functioned together, but from a guitarist's perspective! In the right hand ,the use of various pentatonics, and in the left hand, some unique chord voicings in 4ths. To demonstrate these concepts and their application, I use Coltrane's dorian based composition, "Impressions". As a result you'll learn 7 dorian based chords, voiced in 4ths. Finally, I'll show you how we guitarists can also take advantage of McCoy Tyner's harmonic innovations to get that post-bop sound when comping!
