You may not think so - I might even agree with you. I doubt that will change the facts.

first clip of my new Tele. i decided to "go fusion" on this one. something was missing with just the clean tone....
Its stuff like this that makes me love improvisation. You never know whats gonna come out. i always play stuff ill never be able to pull off again. i play this badass line at around 3:12 in.. ill have to go back and transcribe that one!

very niice. we had a lot of similar sounding lines. my friend in the other room was like, "is that you?"
I talked about approaches for soloing over modal backing tracks with my guitar teacher last night. One of his suggestions was "try emphasizing 6ths and 9ths - it makes you sound more sophisticated".

heh. the first thing i thought was Grant Green. I went through a huge G. Green phase. it took me a long time to get out of that box.
...Its what I do...his playing makes the most sense to me...hes not wanking all over modes, or sounding clinical, he's just doing his thing...the reason I quit Jazz in college was because they wanted me to play like Charlie Parker on the guitar, and I didnt, they were happy with me playing anything that made me happy...next to Trane, there was no better Jazz musician that Grant Green...imo...
i hear ya, but i also understand where your teachers were coming from. Grant Green is only scratching the surface of whats possible with the jazz language. hes also alot easier and bluesy than most.. i think thats why alot of beginner jazzers are attracted to him. (myself included, the first jazz solo i learned was a Green one, "Solid")
i think hes a great foundation to have, as you can always go back to those great simple lines that just sound good.. but i needed something more. Grant Green wont get you through a song with Coltrane changes. or tunes like Inner Urge, etc.... now, of course that might be the opposite of the kind of music you play, but in a university setting, theyve gotta challenge to learn more than just what you want.
itd be hard for me to go to school and want to be a doctor but not want to put in the full amount of work to learn all that i can. (not a good analogy, but you get my point)
and Grant Green to Coltrane.. thats quite a big leap.. surely there are musicians inbetween you could learn from.
Dexter Gordon for one! hes like a Coltrane thats easier to digest.
...and with the Trane changes, I doubt he sat down and thought, "hmm, I think i'll pick these modes and scales to use because they fit over what im doing here"...he was just doing his thing...and that was good enough for him...its the people that analyze everything so much that take the fun out of it...
