awesome video just at the right time, i just spend all day on C F G realizing the tritone subs of a vi - ii - V - I are the biii - bvi - bII - I and then i tried using the diminished chords which are beautiful options for each of these, and now you post a video explaining all of this stuff i was trying to wrap my head around

A big part of harrmony in 20 min . Great vidéo, thank you .

[@jabalajabolindest4852]

Very informative, thank you Rotem. Then you can show us how to approach improvising on this chord progression and what your anchor points are. Thanks 🙏

Thanks for this vid, this topic is in one way widely talked about in jazz but few break it down online and actually explain what is going on. That said, a lot of the concepts here are quite graspable and where I fail to get reharms is once you get more advanced than this. E.g. "a chromatic approach to jazz harmony and melody" has tons of reharms that break outside tritone subs, 2-5s, side skipping and dims. Love the Moffa btw and see you put on fatter Thomastiks? ❤

[@nikolaosdimitriou4401]

I watched very careful but from some point and after you blow my mind with substitutions...was around 16-17th minute....😁😁😁

[@nicolasforfant484]

Level after level I had the feeling of aiming at Mount Everest, but I think that an excellent training to (try to) reach the top should be analysing bossa nova songs, which are obviously crafted with these tricks. Thanks!

[@adamguinnmusic5871]

How's that new gitar treating you man?

[@joschumi1]

grandios

[@josephsilbiger8601]

I have a question there in level 14 you said that a flat was the two of d flat I think it's the five or what am I missing. ? Whoever knows please help me out I got pretty confused by that trying to understand what he meant but could be he just misspoke so let me know if I'm the idiot or not.

[@shadmansadif5148]

Db7 is part of the Gb major tonality. Abm7 is the two of Gb in this context.

[@wmvv123]

If you take Db as the one then yes, Ab is the 5. But here he’s saying to take Db as the 5, which would make Gb the one. Then Ab is the two.

[@Arthur_My_Dear]

Not quite as answered above. Remember the Db9 was a tritone sub of G7 not a dominant 5th of Gb, which hasn’t been mentioned up to this point. I understand when people say dominant they usually mean the dominant 5th, but he definitely called it a 2 of Db9 “when I have a dominant, I can play a 2 of *that* dominant” (in this case that would be Eb minor 7/9) Later, when summarising this section he calls the Ab minor 7/9 the flat 6th minor 7/9. Thus referring to this chord with another different name (which is correct for the key of C ) It’s not surprising that Joseph is confused. Like you I made the leap to thinking he must mean the second of the key in which Db9 is the dominant, but that isn’t what he actually said

[@benjaminbote]

I hear a delay there and some reverb, are you using any delay or reverb? What else do you have on your board? I saw your unboxing video of the guitar, very very beautiful guitar 😊

[@kpt.haddoc8438]

Please trim your strings 🙈 seeing this is such a distraction😅
