Very cool! As a professional musician since the '60s, it is exciting to be learning NEW things again. Thank You Very Much for what you're doing. You explain it clearly, and simply. I like that.

[@GypsyJazzSecrets]

TMS that’s great to hear! Happy that you’re learning new things. Stay inspired! Robin

[@richardsullivan6297]

Thanks Robin. The way you presented this idea will encourage me to use these sounds with more confidence.

Richard Sullivan that’s great to hear Richard.. stay inspired! Robin

[@DrBe-zn5fv]

this bloke is a telepath.. every vid he knows what i've been always asking...( i mean YT AI might be inside my head but i haven't written online anything about whole tones and augmenteds ) Pragmatist but a total artist laying down those elegant lines. Liked, subscribed yep.

[@GypsyJazzSecrets]

haha I'm tuning in always mate! Robin

[@XXXpelevy]

Thank you, Robin. Great stuff. I’m a sucky player just starting with gypsy jazz. I’ve got your book (excellent!), your bundle of masterclasses (working through the Jumpstart one slowing, loving it) and I’m hooked on your channel. You’re my pandemic panacea.

[@GypsyJazzSecrets]

Thanks a lot to clarify this Robin. Now February will become my whole tone scale month and my bandmembers will now it😄

[@GypsyJazzSecrets]

ruudcages perfect! Let’s get that cool whole tone sound into your playing. Cheers! Robin

[@rogierasselt4972]

Robin, another great lesson. I do find it hard to make melodies with the whole tone scale/sound as opposed to normal e7 and diminished chords...whole tone sound is a bit hard to get "into"your ears....thanks a million again, these lessons are really helpfull !

[@GypsyJazzSecrets]

Glad they help Rogier stay inspired! Robin

[@benmalone6139]

That diminished sound is brilliant for building tension right before a chord change. Or I think it sounds sweet as on that V chord on a I VI II V sequence (just a personal fave)

[@GypsyJazzSecrets]

Ben Malone yes agreed Ben, it really add some nice tension at the spots you mention. Cheers, Robin

[@benmalone6139]

Yeah mate when I first did it it was a real "oooh" moment hahahaha

[@GypsyJazzSecrets]

Hi Robin, could you make a video about modes?

[@GypsyJazzSecrets]

BrianMolina Musik hey Brian - I’m not really an expert on Modes and don’t think in modes when I improvise. I did make a video a couple weeks ago about the G Dorian sound over C7 which you might find interesting. It’s called Play This easy scale over C7. Cheers, Robin

[@bpaakwaan7325]

Hi Robin, greetings from Thailand, and thanks for your great lessons. As usual I am confused, and wonder if you could please clarify something. What is the diminished chord you are playing over the E7 ? It cannot be an Edim7, but appears it could be Ddim7, Fdim7, G#dim7 or Bdim7. The reason for asking is I am trying to get my head round the theory and wanting to use the full diminished scale, but unsure which one to use, (rather than just use the chord notes). Hope this makes sense. Thank you.

[@GypsyJazzSecrets]

bpaak waan hi Bpaak - Yes you are right, the diminished chord you play over E7 is G#, B, D, or F. All the best! Robin

[@hellomynameislynne3585]

I am 100 per cent sure George Harrison had a understanding of a lot of this stuff you can hear it clear as day

[@GypsyJazzSecrets]

He understood a lot! 🎸😅Robin

[@JAZZGITAN]

Robin, good job! Can you offer up some sequence lines using the diminished & whole tone scales?

[@GypsyJazzSecrets]

JAZZ GITAN I’ll see what I can do! Robin

[@dingoswamphead]

There's that Take the A Train sound!

[@GypsyJazzSecrets]

dingoswamphead yes that’s the flat 5 Bb over E7! Cheers, Robin

[@moriscengic]

It is really the phrasing that makes jazz sound good. Without the rhythmical phrasing, the gesture, the licks it wont sound good whatever you do
