Introduction to MIXOLYDIAN scale - and beyond...

We start up easy discovering the Mixolydian characteristics. Then we create an expanded left hand chord and we improvise a solo with the right hand. Then we discuss the so called "avoid" note and we find out that the "avoid" note is not so dangerous after all. Finally we make another thrilling jazz scale that is almost like the Mixolydian...
We start up very easy and we put on more stuff as we go along...

[@danielcortes6964]

Your teaching is clear-like-water, even for non english speakers. Thanks a lot!

[@sammiller9855]

I agree. Often theory lessons can busy the mind. But the way Oliver teaches is zen-like. It actually simplifies things, empties the mind in its clarity. I find it relaxing. That's a sign of great teacher.

[@jakubweinert7315]

indeed

[@interestedlen8823]

This is the most elegantly clear explanation of how to form Mixolydian chords I have ever seen. You are unlocking chord theory after many years for this dyslexic struggler. There are many great players, but so few truly great teachers, thank you Oliver.

[@skimanization]

Nobody ever explained modes to me the way you do and now I know what they are and how to use them to make music and improvisation. Thanks, for your genius, truth and unsurpassed kindness.

[@jameslanga6288]

I'm in the KZN province in the RSA, I've never felt as accommodated as one of your students yet never met you even on Skype or what,but your Godly patience in making sure we do get the picture on your lectures or teachings if I may say,it is so not from this planet,thank you so much Mr Oliver Prehn it's even worse to me as a starting not even moderate,God bless you

[@sunsounds8625]

I can feel the passion that you have with your explanations, it makes me smile.

[@NewJazz]

This is Dr. Alfonso from Puerto Rico, USA. All my respects for you effort and passion to teach us how to manage these fascinating Jazz world. I am a melodic metal guitarist, however, because of you I play piano in jazz style. I am really having fun doing so far. Also improve the way how I play my acoustics guitar in that style. YOU ARE AN AMAZING MUSICIAN AND A GREAT PROFESSOR. ALL MY REGARD.

Monsieur Oliver , hundred’s of good teachers over there, some are better than others. You, are the best of the best ones..musicians, teacher with all your soul and goodwill to share your gift to us in such a wonderful simple way (though so interested complexity to learn about Jaaaz..I always go back to your lessons every day , thank you ! NBG. p.s. my next cat will be called Oliver in your honor 😊

[@vintageritarose]

"The Avoid Note" so cool you have a great way of getting your point across. Love it ! 😀

[@tedturner03]

Man!!! I love you. I have watched you for hours!!!!

[@ArgoBeats]

A beauty of lesson... usually "avoid" things in life are often so beautiful as well

[@arthurrosch5378]

Jazz is an expression of personal achievement. It is intellectual and spiritual athleticism combined with grace of perception. What a jazz musician finds is a form so deep and inclusive that it sucks into itself all the world’s music and sublimates these musics into an idiom that blends blues and improvisation. A practitioner of jazz is much like a yogi or monk who undertakes a life of contemplation. When musicians arrive together to make music they bring their valise of masteries, their real and fake books, their tools and tuners. Nowadays we have no guides except jazz musicians. The world may not know this. But WE do.

[@blessaekanan1843]

Thank you very much You are my piano teacher that God sent. Everything God has given to humans All for each other This world can live by sharing and love. May God bless you

[@sgranzo2]

oliver your voice is very warm... i love hear you speaking and explain jazz!

[@CreateArtRecords]

Hi Oliver, is nice to come back to one of the first Videos i saw. I learned that the Avoid-Note relates to a Cadence Situation. I always used it a lot. And, now i see all the Connections between your other Vids espacielly the "3 small Licks.." Vid. I will try to transfer it to the Guitar too. One more Time THANKS a lot my Friend!

[@yvesbrulin1079]

Your lessons are more than appreciated ! Many thanks for your great job Oliver

[@sammiller9855]

I love these simple lessons of tonal exploration outside the context of a "song"--its the best way to learn theory. This lesson is no exception. Thanks.

[@christopherwilliams2092]

The Lydian dominant scale put this lesson over the top with me. I'm heading to the piano right now!

[@benardmwangi843]

I like the way you are breaking it down for a begginer like me kind of understanding it. I appreciate

[@earthquake876]

Really beauriful. I love your simple way of explaining, Mr. Prehn.

[@onpatrolforthejuice]

[@ung2002]

So Amazing sound. I love this way. Thanks Master.

[@fourdaysdead]

great lesson! I hope to see how to practice modes against a bunch of chords like when a guitar player improvises modes against different riffs. Thank you for your channel, I guess one of the best which exposes the theory in a very clear and understandable way

[@EfratEliahu]

I love you new jazz! I actually realy love the F avoided note it sounds nice to my ears

[@nagualnazgul3101]

Guitarist here, I really like the way your lessons are so well organized, neat&clean, easy to understand. I've seen this things explained in many ways by many people but the way you do it opens up a better view in my mind for organizing scales and chords on the guitar keyboard too Keep up the nice work your doing for us :)

That reflection about the avoid note is a very deep reflection about life.

[@NewJazz]

HAHA - Yes, you are right about that!!!

[@mhanniesamaniego3753]

Great video as always!

[@rickrocketts183]

Hi Oliver! I hadn’t watched this video until now, thinking i already knew “plenty” about what the mixolydian scale is. But I’m so glad i watched it! Great application of the dominant left hand “grip 2b” chord, and i would not have thought of trying a “lydian dominant” scale anytime soon. Thanks again, good sir.

[@rickrocketts183]

But i think what matters most is how beautiful it sounds…

[@pitullo70]

Great lesson as always...

[@robinlundqvist2565]

So nice!

[@LogicKeyz]

Great Lesson man.

[@undefinedinstrument]

thank you for the video.

[@mr.fabian8471]

excellent!!!

[@joaoguilhermedalmolin4630]

Your videos are excellent. You teach clearly and gradualy. You are committed and worried about the understanting. And I haven't even mentioned how you dominate the subject. I would like to know if it is possible for you to please post a video teaching how to schematicaly and gradually practice and learn how to play chords rithmically while improvising at the same time in jazz and blues music. (Sorry for bothering you asking things)

[@NewJazz]

Hi and thanks so much :) :) :) You surely encourage me to make more music lessons... And yes - we should also have something about left hand chords. It will not be the next few videos though. But thanks for asking - it is an important subject - I will remember. I hope you have patience with me ;) The best regards Oliver

[@mario_israel]

Thanks a lot!! 🌼

thank you Oliver!

[@ajaniwright3731]
