Tutorial on Jazz Impovisation over the II V I chord progression. diminished scale and altered scale are 2 great choices for a dominant 7th chord. Try writing your own lines. Here's the pdf of the the lines I created in the video :

Pure gold. I just spent an hour tinkering with the diminished scale on the V chord. Lots of, "that SOUND, that's the sound I want, THAT SOUND!" moments.

Thank you Tony. 👏 Have a nice weekend. Greetings from Reinhard

[@TonyWinston]

Thanks, Reinhard! I'm glad it's here!!!

[@colinbuhler3860]

wow, just wow, that thing with the dice, dude you really got me here :D

[@TonyWinston]

my improv is often a series of random events. I guess I'm a 'quantum' improviser. hehe

[@WBUSCH49]

this is Gold for me! I always liked to write out solo's...to get certain devices more down..for instances maj7 shapes over any chord, or over Giant steps or specifically the b13b10 Triad BVI and #Vi over Dominant chords...

[@liriosanz]

Impecable ! Gracias

[@joec7177]

[@atereolusola2497]

God bless you for this

[@clno.13pawenuch74]

Thank you very much. ...my teacher

[@MrBigdc37575]

I'm loving these lessons!

[@winstonqi3529]

This is seriously amazing, keep it up!

[@alexanderkopzon331]

please show jazz standards and analyze potential scales. Blue Bossa, Harlem Nocturne, The Shadow Of Your Smile, The Girl From Epanema etc...

[@andermurillo2868]

SO UNDERATED THANK YOU

[@arosonomy]

For me to understand jazz harmony, I need to know why you're adding a flat 9 to the G in a rootless voicing and playing the Gdim scale. Cause from a 251 standpoint, you're already altering the chord making it a 7. Do you *always* do this as a rule? Does the right hand always follow the chords (d Dorian, than G diminshed) not the key (C) with added chromatic flavor? *Why* are you choosing what you do. What are the unspoken rules to adding flat 5s and Sharp 9s and other augmented chords? How would you go about playing more than just chords in the baseline?

[@twinturbohenry]

so helpful! thank you!

[@jennifer_orna]

Thank you for sharing your knowledge ;-)

[@WBUSCH49]

i like also to let the G# C# D# shape over Amaj7 change to the same like B E F# over Cmaj7 (Generic Modality Compression)

[@duongduong2414]

8:07 I think Charlie Parker was also used the dice the invented Bebop somehow.

[@doktorkakapo3364]

hey Tony! Greetings :)) Just have discovered this tutorial, fell in love with it! It was so so soo helpful for me. I was wondering if you could do new tutorials just like this on some other standarts in order to teach how to act on chord changes and be more fluent while improvising? ( maybe more advanced stuff, idk :D )

[@alphamail434]

Great stuff Tony !

[@PIANOSTYLE100]

Tony ..they now put the next videos to come at the bottom on the video. I just watched the one on playing D blues over F . I could not see the bottom most notes on the screen. I'm sure others are having the same problem. Computers probably don't have this problem.

[@rachelsmename6]

I was taking it quite seriously until the dice came out. Then I couldn't stop laughing!

[@daveadams5]

Great idea for solo composition Tony, using the dice! I may try this myself. I too love that last Peterson lick you played, could you transcribe It? Great videos Tony, really informative and useful advice on jazz piano. Thankyou.

[@georgechadwick8642]

Hey Tony, great video as always. I'm not sure if it's already been done so my apologies if it has and if so please direct me to it, but I'd personally find a video of managing your practice time really useful!

[@juanmalc7]

Thank you tony 😍

[@firstlast7621]

just curious - at around 3:40 you ascend into the G7b9 chromatically using Bb as the first note of your scale. In my mind a diminished scale is Bb, Db, Fb, Abb, etc... and that what you are playing is (what I was taught ) a half-whole scale, right? Otherwise it's like you're outlining the G7 without a root with a repeated embellishment. I'm several years removed from theory and jumping back in so sorry if this is an elementary question.

[@JocelynForget1]

Hi Tony, thank you to help us with your fantastic advices. You are very good and I like the way you improvise, your runs are clear and beautiful. It's fun to know how the great experienced jazz pianists practice in their room. Now I have a big question: Can you tell me if it's a normal way to go even with great jazz pianists, to write some different licks each time when we practice a song that we will perform in a concert, or a song we want to play for ourself. or normally we should learn many licks and apply them in the songs we want to play? because I have tried to learn many good licks but I have not a good memory I think because when I want to apply them in a song I don't remember those licks ... :-( Do you have an advice to help me with that problem? thanks in advance and sorry for my bad english I am francophone from Québec, Canada.

[@mr.fabian8471]

excellent!!!

[@Jack-fs2im]

Fantastic great thanx.The part that I have never found out is what do I do after the 2 5 1.do I just do another one or try to move to a different one?

[@Robert-ts2ef]

Good stuff Tony. Any tips on how to quickly spot the 251’s in a lead sheet as I have trouble trying to see them. Thanks again. Rob

[@anobesewalnut8yearsago994]

Can u do a video about solo with 2 5 1 chord progression with C,

[@WBUSCH49]

your first lick I tried to alter the Tonic to Amaj7 then change it to Cmaj7, both on the after beats to pretend that the II V7 was a back door, i sthat good, or rubbish?

[@rachelsmename6]

This did inspire me to write it out like him, but I'll probably skip the dice lol

[@neuro5261]

Chromatic connection?

[@TonyWinston]

When weaving the end of one scale into the beginning of the next, try to find a note in the new scale that is 1/2 step away from the note you are on.

[@jdiaz4877]

are you left handed?

[@jazzerson7087]

10:40 "I should go to Vegas" . Haha! Lucky dice! Good fun. I see you're a lefty like me, you hold the pencil more normally than me though!

[@WBUSCH49]

is Ab Bb B A G# Gb F possible over G7???

[@ARHIPOVSTUDIODRUM]

😻

[@atereolusola2497]

Can u break down the last lick by Oscar, sir

[@PIANOSTYLE100]

Where did the Oscar Peterson lick come from.. notice I used a preposition at the end of sentence. Lol.

[@SkYrEdFoReVeR]

7:37 but I wanted to hear it :(

[@cristalmartinez4368]

You're left handed just like me, that's great.

[@THEKECHEXPERIENCE]

Hi lefty😀

[@TonyWinston]

Yo!
