4 Jazz Scales you can play over a 2-5-1

[@vinsen0810]

[03:36] Lydian dominant scale [05:51] Whole tone scale [08:34] Diminished scale [10:22] Altered scale

[@Ston247]

+蕭文沛 Thanks a lot. This dude is a bit too chatty.

[@whalemanification]

+Nasher188 I disagree. For me at least, the thorough explanation of what he is doing is extremely helpful and makes it so someone like me who is not so well versed in music theory can follow along!

[@Ston247]

OK. But, it can be done in less than 14 mins. and he didn't really explain WHY those scales work. I know he'd have to charge a fee for that information though.

[@crm321]

+Nasher188 It's because the dominant seven already is very dissonant sounding. Adding these scales work in the context of the dom7 because of it. Simple.

[@Ston247]

That answer is basically incorrect. There's more to it. I was making a rhetorical statement, which didn't require a response.

[@jazztutorial]

My personal favorite lesson to make so far - in this video I demonstrate 4 exotic scales that can be played over the V chord in any ii-V-I, creating a sophisticated sounding melody or solo. As always - if you enjoy this video I'd really appreciate a thumbs up. And if you'd like to be notified when I upload new videos, you can join my emailing list at the link in the description box. Thanks for watching!

[@caesarkhanyile8601]

BIG HUG,thank you very much,Jullian,your videos has got me so hooked up like someone on drugs.my playing is taking a turn,it is improving gradually,God Bless you.

[@PLanBBeaTZ]

Hey Jules!!!

[@jazztutorial]

caesar khanyile Thanks so much Caesar! So pleased to hear you're addicted - that's the ultimate compliment!

[@RejoiceAndBeBlessed]

A big thank you for this video Mr. Julian, i was stuck in what & how to improve my improvisation & this video felt like i can finally add sth more to my way of improvising :) best regards & GBU, chris.

[@jazztutorial]

So pleased to hear this Chris! Really glad this one helped you!

[@8lazingSaddles]

This is exactly what I needed to unravel the mystery in my mind of how Jazz musicians play those exotic sounding solos.

[@eekamak]

Omg that minor chord hack on alt scale blew me away!!🎉

[@JmmTrumpet]

i get chills when i hear those diminished licks.

[@Ston247]

They are ancient.

[@Lucianoq]

I studied music a long time ago and modes were part of the subject. What I was never taught was how to use them effectively and that's what I have been trying to learn. This is the first video I find that gives me a clear way on how to improvise using the modes. I am eager to begin experimenting with this new tools. Thank you very much.

[@espr7564]

Great stuff man thanks 😎🎷👍

[@natpicking]

Dude you're such a great teacher! Enjoying your lessons even as a guitarist! Thanks so much

[@jazztutorial]

Thanks so much Nat, that means a lot to me, I'm really pleased you enjoyed this one. You might also like my '4 types of minor scale' video which is very similar.

[@natpicking]

Oooh I will be sure to check that out too! Bless you man!

[@PIANOSTYLE100]

NatPicking if your interested I can send you a cool l walking base line on guitar that starts with e7 then a 7 then d 7 then then c7.

[@PIANOSTYLE100]

[@murraymacdonald4959]

Yeah. Love your teaching style and pace. It's always a pleasure. Thank you!

[@franklokin3713]

If only I had found you earlier...! 90% of music (and maths) teachers lack the ability of speech. They simply cannot put concepts in words. You are a fantastic exception....once and for all!!!!

[@m3l3ca]

this is the best explanation I have ever heard. thank you very much.

[@jazztutorial]

Anderson Badari Thank you so much Anderson!

[@elektronskalet]

Me too!

[@larealezadetierracaliente2165]

This is YEARS worth of jazz in a single lesson. It takes so many years to learn that the "flavor" is on the V7. THIS IS HUGE. Took me years to understand. Thank you!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@olayeledipoakinsulire7177]

Bradley thanks thanks thanks, you are a wonderful teacher, your lessons have been a tremendous blessing to me, i am so grateful, as a saxophonist your lessons has hitherto open my eyes to what use to be so obscured to me most especially in Jazz improvisation over the years, in few days i have known more than i have learned and spend money on for years. thanks and God bless you.

[@EvonPeter]

one of the most helpful and wonderful lessons on youtube so far. Thanks.

[@charlieoaw1307]

With this video I finally understand what happen in what I ve heard till now! Thanks

[@ultralifeproject]

You deserve a million subscribers. The best KZbin channel for Jazz

[@DrUkeMusic]

Excellent lesson. Broken down so everyone can understand. Thumbs up!

[@jazztutorial]

Thank you Wesley!

How can I double-like this video? Outstanding work!!

[@attarilangetarwprestaka1937]

As a new learner to jazz piano, this helps a lot!

[@CarlosRicovslosmolinosdeviento]

Julian you are a great musician. There is so much to learn from you. THANK YOU

[@ctambrosi]

Your videos have been amazing! There aren't a lot of good jazz guitar lessons on KZbin so I resulted to looking at piano lessons but they really get the point across. Thanks!

[@antoinedumont65]

There is some great material from good piano players in other channels ( of which I am grateful ) but you, you make it very easy to understand so thanks a lot!

[@whammett38]

Clear, cool jazz instruction. Immediate results. Did I mention clear! Easy to comprehend and assimilate.

[@fabricantumariana3099]

All my good thoughts for you and your team! With respect, Mariana!

[@austinsdivinetv]

Much respect to you Julian. I've been watching your channel for the past five years. Great job Sir🙏🏽👍🏽

[@saxofernando]

I am a music teacher and this is by far the best tutorial I have watched onYT thank you and keep it up!!!

[@jazztutorial]

Thank you so much Diego - this means a lot to me coming from you, really pleased you enjoyed this one!

[@hypnodream]

This finally explains how one of my early jazz workbooks made "hip" sounding licks. Good lesson, even for a trumpet player!

[@helenanderson6341]

thanks for the great video. As a bass player trying to get to grips with jazz, seeing how the scales work over the chords on a piano is very helpful.

[@andyoaryoga]

my brother taught me this, and i cant apply the step on my play, thx to u, i get what this means by now. thx

[@anedrajones8462]

Thanks for making jazz less complicated! What a relief!!

[@jazztutorial]

You're welcome Anedra! Glad this one helped!

[@peterdelmonte5783]

simple,clear,direct,I appreciate

[@jimmyfigueras4476]

Its great that you explain how to use scales over changes because the real test that shows if yiu know your scales is practicing ithem in context until it becomes automatic. Learning the scales in an isolated way is just an intro to really learn them with ii-v-i's. Its not easy at first because you have to have them ready for the the bar or few bars then move on using the next scales. Good job.

[@ca3145]

clear, consise,with no BS,luv it.

[@jazztutorial]

Nice! Thanks so much Ca!!

[@Myaccountishacked]

Julian, thank you for for that wonderful powerful lesson....

[@paxwallacejazz]

Lydian dom is the same scale as the altered or diminished whole tone starting from a different degree. Just connecting important dots here. Lydian dominant takes a dom7+11, the alt scale takes a dom7+9 or dom altered chord which means you alter every note possible without effecting the function. So b9,+9,+11,b13.

[@mambazo5]

Great vid. I have found Ionian b3 (major scale with a flat 3) to be a useful way of thinking about the altered scale.

[@fabkie]

Man, i love you! Unfortunately, i dont find that much time to practice. But when i come back to the keys i would always go to watch one of your lessons. This one is definitely one of the best. It's like magic!! ... Please, don't you stop it... Thanks a MILLION! Greetings from Germany!

[@jazztutorial]

Thanks so much Fabian! This is my personal favorite too, so far. Stay tuned and I'll keep posting! Julian

[@40pianos]

I'm a guitar player who finds your site the most informative of the multiple sites purporting to clarify theories thereby demystifying the hard stuff. I don't aspire to be a jazz man but I've got a good grip on harmony and watching you explain and demonstrate, particularly on a keyboard, allows me to see the relationship of single notes, played as a scale - major, minor, pentatonic, diminished or whole tone - more clearly that I can on a guitar. I've subscribed so keep up the good work!

[@PIANOSTYLE100]

Brent Pulford Brent I play guitar a diminished is two stacked minor thirds. years ago my jazz teacher taught me a nice little run that you may or not know .. two hits per string base string e on g to bflat next sting down dflat to e.. just keep on moving a fret higher each time .. the piano is horizontal instrument and the guitar is a vertical one. notice this gives you flatted fifths also .. if you play this you are simply just playing one flat3 flat five six .. just a bunch of minor thirds each one and a half steps up you continue this pattern untill you are on the little e and run off the fret board. I learned a lot from this

[@Picadru]

This is hands down the best "tutorial" I've seen for Jazz. I've been trying to comprehend more Jazz, and have not been successful until this Video. Something about your explanation just made it click for me! Great Job and thank you!

[@erikoddmundfostervoll2607]

Very good and very well explained 😊

[@Rasandratana]

Thanks a lot for this tuto that’s really helpful for my jazz understanding 🙏🙏🙏

[@AshwinEAcharya]

Fabulous! This is a huge help, I'm loving it! Thank you.

[@jazztutorial]

Ashwin Acharya Thanks so much Ashwin!

[@TheRealisticNihilist]

It's great to come home from a road trip to some Jazz tutorials! In my opinion, the whole tone scale over the dominant chord sounds best when it ascends! Thanks, Julian!

[@jazztutorial]

Thanks so much Joshua - love hearing this! I know what you mean about the whole-tone scale ascending, always sounds good.

[@PIANOSTYLE100]

The Realistic Nihilist I'll check this out ..no piano at the house. but I practice on a table and never miss a note. but believe it or not it helps tremendously.

[@elinoyes]

Very clear, very helpful. Will start practicing those scales in ii V I progressions in all keys to cement in my memory!

[@austinplays9891]

Fantastic video! Great explanations and demonstrations! Also, it was cool that you tagged many of your lines with part of "the lick"!

[@inigogortazar2836]

Thumbs up for this great and humble man! Thank you so much for the video and generally for your channel, i love it!

[@PIANOSTYLE100]

Another way to remember the altered scale is to play the first 4 notes of the half whole scale. C Db D# E, then just whole steps to C. Great video.

[@TheMawered]

You wont believe how much youve helped me! Keep up the great work!

[@jazztutorial]

Thanks so much Mawered, really happy this one helped :)

[@leventguner642]

Great explaination, this lesson is a pure gem thank you very much

[@mikeyeates8737]

Thanks for this, Julian. Things are beginning to become a little clearer. I can see how you get that jazzy sound from the right hand improvisation now.

Thank you so much for your genius and dedication.

Also to note that C altered (parent scale being Db Melodic minor) can also be read as B major but with B being played a semi tone higher to C

I think I spotted "the lick" at least four times. As a blues guitarist I'm finally getting my head around these concepts to get a more sophisticated sound in my playing. I haven't got my fingers around it yet though.

[@Bluesbop]

Jeez! I've been trying to make sense of it all, in two videos you've cleared up so many questions. I'm not a piano guy, but the concepts are so clear it was easy to transfer it to my instrument. (Chromatic Harmonica) Thanks!!!!

Excellent as usual. I'm totally hooked on your videos.

[@jazztutorial]

So glad to hear this, Thanks Lazarus!!

[@kulahit50]

Perhaps the best lesson I've seen in improvising over a ii-V-I chord progression. Been trying to learn jazz guitar improvisation and have had a hard time understanding the reasoning behind the use of different scales over each chord, but this video is the first one I've seen that explains it all. It helps to know a little music theory though. Just bought his book, Jazz Theory - Explained. A great book to learn the theory, scales, etc. A must read and easy to understand, with direct KZbin links on the lessons. Well Done, Julian!

[@PIANOSTYLE100]

kulahit50 Hal Leonard put out a book I think it was orange cover and 50 jazz licks.. some really nice licks in there I don't know if it ref. modes but it may have had chords.. you can probably call Hal Leonard themselves.
