Im so confused sense I thought Melodic Minor has two way of ascension and descending, How you raise the 6th, and 7th on rise, lower the 6th and 7th back descending (what you did) Idk if it was said or not but I only saw one way from you .,.

Very nice to see no Mixolydian scale- just chord tones and chromaticisms-

Still..... the B 07 chord near the end is a big mystery. Yeah, you can fake over it .....but actually it needs a true explanation. Smiles.

Is your website to join the inner circle membership working? I haven’t been able for the past couple of days

The color code training wheels are unbelievable helpful! Wish I had learned it this way 25yrs ago. Getting ready to teach my daughter how to play guitar and I think this concept will make a huge impact. Thank you!

Why not describe both autumn leaves and all the things you are in terms of the circle of sevens which is really the chord pattern they follow with major minor and dominant constructions intermediately.

Thanks! A superb explanation of how jazz standards can teach us Jazz harmony. This is where I’m headed in my guitar and bass journey. Now I’m working on Blues and Yacht Rock songs and techniques with my local teacher. Eventually I plan to join your Learn Jazz Standards community to progress in Jazz. I will use your video on how to get good in Jazz in a year as my guide.

I probably know the chords to Autumn Leaves. But ATTYA was always hit or miss. GREAT lesson on the various 6/2/5/1’s, 2/5/1’s and key centers especially with the extremely detailed chords chart with values, thank you!!

Sehr gute Erklärung liebe Grüße aus Deutschland 🇩🇪

Graet video , always nice to repeat.

Record your practices. It's painful to listen to at first, but it's probably the most important skill I learned in school. (And it wasn't even from the professors. It was a guest lecturer.)

I got your book, and I actually immediately have the question, you call for action, learning the basic scale in all keys. But on guitar this is then just a matter of changing the position of the pattern? or am I missing something here? do you mean, learn all keys, or do you mean, learn basic scale in all keys. As learning all keys is a bigger task I think, because it's a bigger thing Edit: I've now opened your page with the video included. I read the first chapter on my phone, so didn't see that video in the pdf file. But probably you could mention the preferred way to practice the scales in your book as well, and refer to the examples of the patterns in that chapter, I either missed it or it's not there I believe. Anyways, going through the half whole dim scales and the major in 2 positions with all these patterns is quite a job, this alone took me a good 3 hours today, so I quit. I wasn't familiar with the half whole dim scale though so that took a little more. I want it for those weird dom chords I suppose and it's easier to memorize and keep track of than the melodic minor IMO because of the symmetry

Very clear explanation.

Using Cecil Taylor as an example of “playing whatever you want” is a nearly criminal misstatement.

John Klemmer has some good ones like Blowin' Gold Touch Barefoot Ballet

What about Charles Mingus’s The Black Saint and the Sinner Lady?

I am trying this approach on songs that I already know but I notice that , for example when I try a different key, I don't refer directly to the "roman numbers", but I first think to the progression I already know (in the original key), and that makes me remember the cadence in terms of roman numerals. This causes an added step that I would like to avoid to be able to remember the tune with roman numbers directly.

I had the same problem with the Sony Walkman espmax, but for some reason the gears lock up and stops the laser from moving. Not sure how to fix it, the middle gear gets off rail and locks everything.

Chi suona ?

Will this work the same if I'm more into jazz fusion than standard jazz?

Bullshit! Most of the people shouldn’t be even considering playing an instrument! To get good, at least ten years!🇦🇺

What is that guitar you are playing ?

Idk, beyond college/hs, jazz learning opportunities are slim to none. Either you arent challenged enough in a "beginner" band, or you cant make an audition for a good band. Hard to be part of a band without the connections to a band, and really thats the only possible way to improve in jazz BAND playing. Good thing i switched to organ, definitly dont need other people lol! Theres a good reason to ditching jazz. In a fraction of the time getting taught absolutly nothing by band teachers, private teachers (some of good merit) all from whom I begged for more info on how improvising works, I am actually playing legit music, improvising comfortably, and getting paid more than 95% of music majors with my side organ gig. Who needs jazz when you got Vierne

Blues and the Abstract Truth and Jazz Silhouette ( Oliver Nelson and Sun Ra ) are great great albums

What are your thoughts on a lot of classical music for passive listening ..I do Lyft during the day 🚘 and keep it on classical station

This is the video I need to improve my jazz playing. Thanks bro

Hi Brett, can you say more about your mindset - "The Simple Things are the Big Things" - and your ideas about the learning Review process. A video on each would be amazing! Or just a reply, fine. Thanks!

They are not "easy" licks. Four or five notes only would be better!

This is great advice, especially the last bit about playing with others. I'm already in a community jazz band, but with being on semester break, I got myself to do some open jazz jam sessions in my city. Not only is it a great way to learn, and connect with other musicians, it's helped me immensely with performance anxiety.

I am a guitarist. I am learning 2 chord melodies a month. After viewing this, I like the idea of learning chord tones and arpeggios, applying it to the standard. I am going to watch this repeatedly throughout the year! Thanks!

Practice does not make perfect, practice makes permanent.

Hello, could you make a video jamming in a gig? Or, do you already have it? Send the link please, I want to see you working with the help of all these concepts showed in this cool channel

Thanks for the insight!

Excellent, thank you so much for your teaching.

Very helpful. I'm always trying to refine my practice agenda and make it as efficient as possible. As a trumpet player, my chops only last so long and my attention span is good for 1 to 1.5 hour. After that, it seems a fruitless endeavor.

Great video Brent!!! Any chance we could get a TEXT or outline version of this wonderful and so comprehensive portrayal of the whole process of moving toward being a better jazz musician? Some of us have an even additional challenge in that we are VISUAL (more so than AUDITORY) learners….. TIA for considering this request!!! Elliot

How to get good . . . practice .....shit

what about playing with other people ? I feel like there is a huge hole there.

Enjoyed the video but in my opinion, way overboard with the sound effects, particularly the keyboard/clicking noise.

I learned 14 jazz standards in less than half a year. I played them with backing trucks for a while. Some of them I have forgotten today because I am a home musician. I simply have no one to play with, and this is the biggest problem in the development of people like me. When I was at university many years ago, I played in a rock band 3-5 nights a week for 5 years. Today, studying jazz, I can’t even come close to the progress in musical development that I made during my student years. BTW, at that time I was a bass guitarist, today I play blues and jazz on a 6-string guitar. Two more strings only, but a big difference 😢

I’m understanding most all of this except how did you determine the mode for each cord .

Enjoy your videos thank you for sharing your expertise 🙏

how to get good at jazz...turn it off and learn metal

What a good video, thanks!!!, I have a question, How can we memorize complex chords?

8 minutes to explain one II-V-I progression (where C is the 1 and D is the 2 :D :D) funny. Hopefully someone finds these videos helpful.

Brett, you should have recorded this video last year, but there's nothing better than being in the Learn Jazz Standard community. In my opinion, just by doing my discipline of learning a standard every month, today I feel that I am good at playing. I don't want to think if I had done my discipline of two hours and 24 standards. I've already reached the level of playing with all musicians and learning from those mistakes. Being part of the Learn Jazz Standard community is the best thing I have done on my journey as a jazz musician.

I’m more than willing to subscribe to your channel because you have a lot of good stuff but on a personal note, could you please pronounce your tease when saying the word important thank you

you should make a short of the main points of this

Yeahh
