Thank you ever so much. You taught this very clearly and with much fun!

[@user-ju6yr8zs9o]

You can hear a dominant 13 chord in some Mozart pieces, and if you check the romantic period music, you'll find all sorts of fancy extensions and colorful chords, Rimsky Korsakov is actually considered to be the inventor diminished scale, and Debussy uses whole tone all over the place, so if romanticism is considered classical, then jazz isn't really that different in terms of colors used.

[@Phaseish]

romantic is not classical era. but i would agree copin love the flat 5 and 6ths and the extensions at b9 like he stated, but most classical used the 7th for the leading tone to go back to home. eric reed prrelude in e minor gang gang./

[@wigman1962]

Ravel used all of them and he didnt even resolve them

[@denote8299]

I purchased the whole books, lessons, master classes etc by Chad as a bundle already but you are an excellent teacher just like Chad. You are also very good at breaking down each one to a simplified level. Would have been better if Chad's books came with a bit of intro explanation in them as well (like Steve Neff's book) in addition to the videos that are accessible online. I'm definitely going to buy your jazz standards lesson at JLV.

[@paulfosterholly]

If you use all at the same time the sax go purple you know

[@JRNL75]

Very good! the contents, the presentation... Very useful subject too. Dominants can be quite confusing! Thanks

[@SaxSpy]

the mixo b13 is so wild!

[@cardboardmusic]

Love the presentation, great humor.

[@bessyloutunes]

Love this guy

[@riddiish]

Lets DOMINATE the scales!! Good stuff

[@skimanization]

Wow, this is a great lesson. I never new of this. I must grab the ebook!!!

[@pavelpatsenkov]

Great video Mr Graybeal. Thanks.

[@pneptune5851]

Very creative and helpful vid ! Thanks 🙏🏽

[@beckyn9338]

Love your JLV videos, Nathan! You make me want to purchase every product you talk about. (And I have purchased several after seeing your videos.) See? You are a total success as CEO!! LOL

[@philliphanford2792]

It's just common sense I tellya! Good Job!

[@nickpilgrim1966]

Nicely done

[@LarryJazzLouis]

Excellent, Thank a lot, I gonna buy the book

[@cedamoon4049]

Great video!! On a V7#9, should the upper extensions have a #11 rather than natural 11? Asking for a friend.

[@Saxologic]

Yes, sharp #11! Darn, not sure how I didn't clarify that. Wish I could go back and edit it! Hopefully the diminished scale makes it obvious.

[@Kirktracy]

What to see in the Future? Well this video is great because of the audio visual value and virtual tutoring. How about a video or audio to accompany the book so that the phrases and exercises can be integrated faster?

[@johnnyloungejazz5477]

Your a great teacher.

[@mistervox1]

small correction: Half/Whole dim scale has a #11 in it, not a natural 11.

[@leewer54]

❤❤❤

[@ChromaticHarp]

What period of classical are you referring to? Check out Ravel. It’s full Of all the jazz extensions you mention, then there’s Stravinsky, Startling harmonies if ever there were…I should mention Webern, Schoenberg, and the other serialists, they took iI WAY outside. Worth checking out!

[@dont-feed-ben4833]

To be fair he did say the "classical period"

[@ulob]

What would you use for D7#9♮9 in Scoffield's "Chank"? The weird voicing he plays contains both sharp and natural nine

[@ChromaticHarp]

Chromatic scale

[@TheToothGoose]

During his solo on the album, Scofield plays mostly minor pentatonic and Mixolydian

[@ChristianBurrola]

Major blues scale

[@Lennie_peled]

not joking just a mixolydian with a chromatic #9, but the better option is to intertwine the minor blues scale with the natural 3d as well. (like the dominant 7th add 11 arpeggio)

[@ChromaticHarp]

@@Lennie_peled Sco probably just uses his ear to guide him thru the harmonic maze!

[@mileswhite4329]

Head spinning

[@SubJStan]

Most of the altered dominants use the melodic minor scale, so you just have to decide or decipher where your “root” is. I don’t think of the different modes of melodic minor, I just think melodic minor in some relation to the root of the chord. Like for a typical ii V I resolution, I’ll use melodic minor a half step up from the root of that V chord. I’m not trying to think “super locrian” or whatever the modal name is. Edit: also, the melodic minor (ascending) scale is literally just a major scale with a flat third, so the scale itself is very familiar. But flatting that one note makes the whole thing sound so flavorful. It’s pretty cool!

[@afxmnstr]

..... is there any reason you're calling the key of C but playing in the key of Eb ?

[@nilkilnilkil]

Hahahahaha
