II-V-I Motivic Phrases

"Great presentation - extremely helpful"

Steve is an outstanding teacher. This class is full of examples that you can use on your own or use as a springboard to come up with your own ideas. I know I will be coming back to this class again and again for ideas and inspiration.

"Excellent course"

This course was a real eye and ear opener. I'm looking forward to taking these concepts and applying them to the tunes in my set list. An excellent addition to my jazz vocabulary. Thank you Steve for a thoughtful and thorough presentation.

"using Motifs"

This is fun musical stuff. Awesome presentation!

"Excellent lesson"

Lots of examples and reiterations of examples so you can understand how to develop them and create your own. Excellent pacing throughout the video and very thorough explanations of what he is doing. One of the most valuable insights into this jazz progression I have come across. The ideas are also powerfully simple, tasteful and melodic. 200 rambling, boring, meaningless 251 licks that are tough to remember this isn't. Instead he teaches you how to build melodic phrases by combining theory and the neck of the guitar to makes the lines shift. He shows you the rules to do this, a ton of examples all accurate on PDF, and the rest is your imagination. I cant rate this lesson highly enough!

"Excellent course - easy to jump right in, a pleasure to watch"

I have been so impressed with Steve Herberman's style of teaching. For such an amazing and gifted player, he always comes across as being modest, down to earth, humble. The course is a good length, and no time is wasted: it is all spent demonstrating and discussing the material, which centers around shifting phrases by interval, in a musical way, to match the changing harmony over the basic progression. Even though I am familiar with the basic 'tricks' involved here, I found a lot of the material to be very fresh and it gave me some new angles from the start, Most important - Steve's way of teaching inspires us to go and play this stuff with a sense of freedom and confidence. Full marks from me!

This is such a great class! Mr. Herberman is a master, and an incredible human being! He is a true practitioner of what he preaches! The sycopated lines in the pdf echo ideas from the Action:Reaction record, particularly from the track Negev Journey! I recommend for someone who tired of their old, "bag of tricks", as Wes used to say, and really hone the skill of moving ideas in intervals of minor 3rds over a dominant and understanding what a minor 6th pentatonic scale is.
