Very nice! One quick "hack" that had me thinking of this without having to manually count a whole tone from each individual chordal tone is: - maj7 = add the next major chord a whole step up (Cmaj7 + Dmaj) - min7 = add the next minor chord a whole step up (Cm7 + Dm) - dom7 = add the next major chord a whole step up (C7 + Dmaj)

@@dawncordo It depends. Classical music in a traditional meaning in similar in all of the Europe. It grounds on two scales: major (durowa) and minor (molowa). Polish folk music uses scales, who aren't very different to the western folk music scales (I think): dorian (dorycka), phrygian (frygijska), lydian (lidyjska) and mixolydian (miksolidyjska) with it's hypo- types. The oldest polish folksongs use narrow-ranged scales: tetrachord scales and two sorts of pentatonic. The newer songs are based on minor and major. The lydian-dominant (góralska) scale is special because it is used only in Tatra mountains. It was an inspiration for some composers of the twenteenth centaury, for example Karol Szymanowski or Wojciech Kilar. If I made a mistake, please true up.

I got my keyboard out and made sure I had not made any other mistakes..as I was playing it I found the chorus that had an a7b9 in it.. My ear was hearing it, but I was mixing the two..

I tried it on 'All The Things You Are'. Unless I've missed something, it doesn't seem to work at all. It doesn't make a whole lot of sense to play F dorian over the first F minor chord when you're immediately going to Bb minor after that, especially considering the fact that the aeolian sixth degree of the scale (Db in F minor) is the note in the melody over the following Bb minor. It's all kinds of wrong. This strikes me as a bit of a quack, cure-all remedy that in no way can replace traditional harmonic analysis for choosing scales, or even just playing by ear.

Just some thoughts and hacks. When I am playing C blues I have a tendency to go down a minor third to a blues and play it over the C7 And G7. This is what Lestor Flatt did when he played the the G run G A Bb B D E. Put the E on the front note and you can see the E blues scale over the G. E G Bb B D E..So if I'm playing G blues..I'll often switch to the E blues.On the four chord of C blues progression which is F7 dominant, I often will play C blues scale.From the F7 the C blues scale C D Eb G Bb is 5 13(6) 9(2) 11(4). There is a lot of flavor on the F chord.

On ALL MAJOR CHORDS, you have a 1-3-5, right? Like C-E-G for C major triad chord, yeah?. ...Ok, play a B minor TRIAD over a C-G-C or C-G-B in the Bass. That turns any regular basic C major triad into a C major 7th chord. Now, Play a D major triad over C in the Bass to make it a C major 9 chord. See how easy that is!? 😂😂😂 Using the Triad method, you always learn faster! Also, for every minor or major triad you are using, learn how to use every INVERSION and/or Position possible on your keyboard or piano 👍👍Move that specific Triad up and down the entire Piano until you can play it with your eyes closed like Stevie Wonder would teach you in person LOL! The reason for that is so you MASTER how to MOVE around the keyboard during solos, or like, when you need to help the SINGER sing better, because LOCATION is everything when playing the piano! hahaha Here's some more Happy fun Tricks to use: On ALL MINOR Chords, play a major triad for the 3rd note, and a minor triad for the 5th note. So you put A-E-A or A-E-G in the BASS and play a C major triad for the A minor 7th chord. Play an E minor chord over A in the bass for the A minor 9 chord. Yup, it's that easy! You can also find tons of other amazing chords by using all the other minor and major chords, sus 4, sus 2 triads over any BASS NOTE in your left hand. In fact, you will become a Monster on the keyboard/piano way FASTER this way! You can also play a C minor triad of A in the Bass, or E major over A in the Bass to figure out how to use it for different music styles. Your ears will guide you and let you know which KEY you are suppose to use those special chords for, but that's the FUN in learning how to experiment with music. No strict Rules, just have FUN! Play whatever you think sounds good to YOU, not what sounds good to anyone else. On any "TURN AROUND" dominant 5th CHORD you use before going back to the "home chord", you can come down on it's MAJOR TRIAD it belongs to. For Example in the Key of G Major: Use a G major Triad with D-A-D in the Bass. Then, while still sustaining a D in the Bass, do lots of RUNS up and down the G Major scale. and then resolve to a G' chord or Gadd2 (Gadd9) chord, or a basic Gsus4 chord to the G chord to end the song. LOL Also with a G-D-G or G-D-F as the Bass notes, you can come down on a D major triad or an E major Triad to make it sound extremely MATURE, Beautiful and very Jazzy. That's a kool trick to know for Gospel and R&B music styles 💥🎹👀 The SECRET of playing really good, is learning ALL the user-friendly tricks. So, learning which Triads work for each ROOT note in the Bass is what you need to practice for hours and hours! ... Always ANALYZE what you're doing in the right hand. Ask yourself these questions: Am I playing a 7th chord, a minor 9th, a major 9th, a dominant 7th flat 9 or dominant 7th flat 13 chord??...or is this a regular dominant 13 chord?? What chord is this TRIAD creating? Why am I playing so much better now!? How did I get so good so fast!? YAY!! 😂😂😂🎵🎵 BEGINNER students learn FASTER when you explain things MUCH EASIER to them. They "get it" and understand it using TRIADS way quicker than any other method out there! 👍👍🔥🔥 Never forget...People get LOST when you use words like "semi-tones, whole steps and half steps, a tone, two tones, 3 whole step and a half..." etc etc The PIANO IS A VISUAL INSTRUMENT. Keyboard and Piano Students naturally see things FASTER when they think of Triads, not "mathematical equations" or complicated explanations as to WHY this note is a 6th and 13th, or a 4 and 11th note at the same damn time LOL! 😹 Cheers! Enjoy these amazing New Tricks and Short-cuts, My amazing Friend! Hahaha
@dardsdards6 жыл бұрын
I love harmony, and I have a deep understanding of it. Let me clarify for anyone watching this video and implementing it's suggestions in the real world, this will ruin your music. When you play IN a key, (as 99% of the music you will ever hear is) you play notes that are contained within a scale, the first note of which is called the key you are 'in'. In the key of C major you would use a C major scale. In the C major scales there are these notes: C D E F G A B. If I build 3 note chords (triads) or 4 note chords (seventh chords) using only these notes (in a 'play one skip one' fashion) I get a pattern of major and minor (and diminished) chords. The pattern I get from triads is Major, Minor, Minor, Major, Major Minor, Diminished. The pattern I get from seventh chords is Maj7, Min7, Min7, Maj7, Dominant7, Min 7, Half diminished. (note there is more detail to the chord description {V's major becomes "dominant" because thats the name for a major chord with a b7th} {Diminished becomes "Half Diminished" because you get a bb7th in a fully diminished chord, and only a b7th in a half diminished chord} because 4 notes is more 'descriptive' than 3). The pattern I get from a 5 note (ninth) chord is Maj79, Min79, Min7b9, Maj79, Dominant79, Min79, Half dim b9 (even more detail! but notice that still there are two Maj79 chords and two Min79 chords that still have the same extensions) - lets continue. The pattern I get from a 6 note (eleventh) chord is Maj7911, Min7911, Min7b911, Maj79#11, Dominant7911, Min7911, Half dim b911 (note I only have one ambiguity now, chord II and chord VI of the series are still both labelled the same, they still have the same extensions). The pattern I get from a 7 note (thirteenth) chord is Maj791113, Min 791113, Min7b9 1113, Maj79#1113, Dominant791113, Min7911b13, Half dim b911b13. These are scales (or chords) of their own, even though they use the notes from the C major scale, they have their own unique sound, some are often employed in Jazz music, they are called MODES. Each of those 7 note chords has a name. 1 - Ionian 2 - Dorian 3 - Phyrgian 4 - Lydian 5 - Mixolydian 6 - Aeolian 7 - Locrian Back to our C major scale chords briefly: Cmaj, Dmin, Emin, Fmaj, Gmaj, Amin, Bdim Now, because we often very quickly develop a strong sense of the key we are in when listening to music, it can be very obvious and 'wrong' sounding, if someone matches the wrong mode with the wrong chord. For example if I played the chord Cmaj but played the 4th mode (C Lydian ) over it, it would sound strange in the context of the key - this is because of the series I wrote earlier showing that our ears would 'expect' to hear the notes C D E F G A B (Ionian) rather than C D E F# G A B. When I listen to music I can immediately pick out 'where' I am in the key/scale, the way that my brain has learnt to do this is by singing a 'scale' starting on the first strong note I hear in the piece and then working up or down from there to find a pool of 7 notes that work. At that point I don't know where the 'beginning' of my scale is, but I use the relationships between the notes (tones or semitones) or I find where feels like 'home' and then test it out by singing a nursery rhyme or some such famous piece of music that I know starts on the 1st note of a major scale (e.g. Twinkle Twinkle little star) to check if I've got it right. I have no need to do this consciously anymore because my ears have becomes so sensitive to key/scale relationships that as soon as I hear a piece of music (within I would say 2 - 3 seconds for 90% of the music I hear) I know which chord I'm on in the scale and then a couple of seconds after that I have worked out the note the melody is on. I don't imagine notes anymore, rather I hear the relationships between the notes (regardless of whether they are C D or E etc.). I DO NOT have perfect pitch and this is a skill I have developed from being a self taught multi instrumentalist and working out song since I was 5yrs old by myself. I've never properly learnt to sight read, which is a skill I'm working hard on now! I graduated with a BA in Jazz and I play piano, guitar, bass and drums and produce music and teach for a living. If there is a demand for it, I will start posting youtube tutorials on aural skills and understanding the foundations of harmony. All the best, Adam

There was no mention of CHROMATIC movement using "c sharp" notes on Major 7th chords.. . It would sound horrific using a flat 9th on major 7 chords because major chords have to sound HAPPY not sad! However, jazz musicians religiously use flat 9th's on dominant 7th chords to alter them with flat 13 or raised 11th's or just a basic flat 9th "three-note voicings" using TRIADS 😂😂😂😂 Using the "Triad method" is way FASTER & EASIER to teach music students "jazz chords" or "black music chords" (such as: Gospel, R&B, Soul, Funk, Blues) instead of this whole step approach 😇🖤😈🎹🎵🎵🎵🎵

Spent a few days thinking about this technique and working it out on paper. It led me to revisiting Scale mode theory which I finally have down good enough to explain it to others in case anyone ever ask! Found a Funk backing track in E minor over at Coffee Break Grooves and played over it by ear writing down what sounded good to me. Took the E minor chord and applied the whole note above the triad notes and it fit what my ear told me was correct. Turned out E Dorian was the name of what my ear told me was right. Really a fun practical exercise with long term benefits. Playing by ear is a good thing but, combining it with the ability to put names on what to play is a higher level of musicianship. Practically speaking, when I get good at this, I won't have to fumble around for 4 to 8 bars to find the groove. This was a crossroad between theory and my ear.

Hi Julian: This is really an excellent video and gives lots to practice on. You indicated that you use this method perhaps 70% of the time. Can you, at some point, share what you do, and your thoughts the other 30% of the time? Perhaps a separate video or two delving into your detailed thought processes as you improvise from chord to chord. Say, for example, you know a piece extremely well and you feel like stretching your improv wings. What thoughts flash through your mind (they must really flash when doing this on the fly) and alternatives do you consider as variations to this 70% (already great) approach?

Hey David, great question. So sometimes I'll play the blues scale over minor 7 chords. So over Cm7 I'll sometimes play C Eb F Gb G Bb (which isn't derived from this chordal tone + whole-step method). And other times, I'll change things up over V7 chords - since V7 chords are the best place usually to use exotic scales. So over C7 I'll often play the altered scale (C Db Eb E Gb Ab Bb)... ...and occasionally I'll play the diminished scale, or whole-tone scale. A good tutorial to see me talk about these other scales is my 'Exotic V7 scales' video here: kzbin.info/www/bejne/gWqteJqghqxgi9k Does this make sense? Let me know if this helps.

You mentioned the alternate scale and. The alternate scale I think is really the most telling. chord in jazz,. This is written for the new.This takes five minutes to peruse. I use capital letters when I am trying to emphasize something. I try to make this as clear as possible.. only by reading carefully can most newer learners understand this ..there are almost no steps skipped. One example how it works with the ALTERED scale after giving some good music habits that help. I make notes in pencil on a copy of a piece.. Make sure you own the music.. By making notes.. not copious.. you can remember what you learn or observe, and not waste time relearning something you knew already.. Here is an example regarding the altered scale. say I'm introduced to something new like the altered scale. (.I Learn Every New Thing in C. That seems stupid, but it will open up music theory to many.. Reading carefully one can clearly see what is a sharp or a flat or the intervals in all scales.. So notes I handwrite.. (handwriting takes effort and reinforces learning.). In the following be aware there is no musical subscript for the letter b on the standard keyboard.. I will use b for flat. Here is the major c scale. c. d. e. f. g. a. b. first observation is flat every thing. and go in a descending order c bb ab. gb f b. eb db c NOW see how easy it is to do this.. Just say the letter of the scale and say flat and it it in descending order. It's important to do this in c, but this will be a little strange in certain chords.. The beginner should note that the f b is an unusual way to say e.. (((Please note that I had to space f b because spellchech has no words that pick up flat..and it wants to put f. g as that is part of the alphabet.))) Now reinforce the ease of this .. Right hand .. pinky on right hand... will abbreviate that as r h. c bb ab gb e .. just follow through with other fingers .. thumb will be on e. Now this good .. I run my fingers back and fourth and notice that this is the whole tone scale down to e. THIS is Important.. to have recognized this you would have to have known the whole tone scale...For the new..see how all these seemingly unrelated things make other patterns and relationships easier to learn . So in ascending order .. the altered scale... which quite frankly one of MAIN scales to know.. IF you know this scale.. you very well could be a much better player. This comment is largely written to beginners.. In descending order it is : c. bb ab gb fb eb db.c. Not dragging this out .. ...but say c b a g f e d c Now put a flat after everything except the tonic c. In as ending order. c db eb f.b gb ab bb c. That is c db d# e gb g# bb c Now to the new, this will be gibberish. it would have been gibberish to me . This is REALLY. 1 b2 #2 3 b5 # 5 7 8. Now I wrote this in a weird way but but you may be understanding why. In c. is visually written as C db eb e gb ab bb c .. Please notice that this is notated above but in an enharmonic manner. WHAT is the big deal viewers may ask.. Well here it is written out in extensions. 1 b9 #9 3 ( b5 or #11) b13 b7. Notice that there is no 2 4 5 6 or 7 .. that will something that I would make a note of.a s a beginner... remember we all have to start somewhere. The most advanced players are always searching for more Knowledge So now let's review This scale has no fifth.. Modern jazz chords focus only on the root b3 and b7 .. But the extensions are what gives jazz it's flavor.. Here are is something thing to try.. in the left hand root c bass.. now in the the middle of the piano play right hand bb e a..this is why this scale is so useful. All notes left and right hand make a c 13.. ( c. bb e a). Notice that the a is is the sixth and a is also 13th extension.. We don't have a thirteenth but it s surrounded by a b13 and sharp13..But you say we don't have that 13 in the scale. You are right there is no thirteen.. but there is a flat thirteen which is Ab .. so just move that to a so that is the thirty of c.. notice that this first chord I gave you has a natural 13 or six.. Now I would also notice that the the flat 7 is just a semitone down from a flat seven . Wow I am sharing the process of learning this stuff it seems like I'm going in tangential moves here.. That is the way most people learn I think. So while I'm here.. I'll get back to the lick.. you can read ahead and play the fantastic. chord lick I was taught by my piano jazz, teacher years ago. if you know the b7 just go down one semi tone and voila the magical 13th. Now move the left hand to f... the right hand chord is a dominant f#9. It is in numbers 3 b7 and #9 of the root . Everything in scales or chords. has to have a reference or tonic. In this last part I put the left hand and right hand. C. Bb E. A. This is a C 13 F A. Eb G# If you are a beginner you can put this into watch later and go ba k to this video. This is for late beginners.

I play music mostly by ear on bass or guitar. I began picking up keyboard and music theory about two years ago. Music theory to me seems very much like math and math puzzles and lots of memorization of formulas. I now find myself creating music much like a person solves a rubik's cube. You learn patterns to start the puzzle, different patterns automatically click in, and then there are final patterns that solve the cube. But when it comes time to lay guitar and bass tracks all the patterning goes out the window because it gets in my way. It's like mind clutter to my guitar ears. I usually end up laying tracks by ear or chopping up the audio wave and composing note by note and sound by sound. My question for you and all the music theory people reading this is, Do you ever just sit there and play or record without thinking solely by what you feel or is everything you compose intricately worked out in advance according to theory/rules and with no chaos?

I like your second point. Your first point is where I'm getting at. You call it a mistake and yet those "mistakes" are frequently what catches people's attention and sells albums from Slayer to Nirvana. They make the music interesting because they take the ear where educated jazz musicians would never go and the music ends up sounding fresh. There are no mistakes in music. There are only journey's and paths that you either take or do not take.

@shaneburgess26076 жыл бұрын
It's about being able to visualize the notes and their sounds and understanding their relationship to eachother at the same (knowing how all the notes you're playing relate to the underlying chord). With practice it becomes second nature and you can freely express yourself. Its completely visual, thats why you have immediate access to any sound you want to create. Dont waste your time with filling out theory books because if you cant visualize it on the neck its useless. It's a super long process that definitely feels like brain clutter at first, but as you start to understand it, you start to be able to see the music on the neck the way that youve always wanted it to come out in your head. you'll find you can even play guitar in your head while still being aware of every note you're hearing and where it is on the neck

I’m not sure if this has already been said (just found out it has) or is common practice in jazz but I just noticed that you can just mix the chord with the same chord 2 intervals up. Lemme explain. Since we only do the root 3rd and 5th we don’t have to look at the dominant 7 or major 7 etc. if you had a Cmin7 chord and need the scale you transpose the 1st 3rd and 5th notes 2 intervals up to make a Dmin chord. Mixing this Dmin with the Cmin7 makes the scale for improv. This works up almost everything. For C7 and Cmaj7 they both transpose to a D major chord and you just combine the two chords into one scale. With C minor it goes to D minor(7s and maj7s don’t affect the transposed chord so D minor would go with Cm7 or Cm maj7). C dim chord goes to D dim. C b5 chords would go with the respective D b5 chord etc. works with all chords 2 intervals up. for Example Ab maj7 combines with Bb major.

Ok, the video suggests going up a whole step. So I would try a Whole Half Diminished scale and see of it fits. C D Eb F Gb Ab A B C. That is basically a combination of 2 full diminished seven chords. C Eb Gb A and D F Ab B C D Eb F Gb Ab A B C The second row is HW dim scale. Also..each one on the top is a minor 3rd ..or 1 and half steps up. On a guitar this would be 4 frets.

This is not always going to work frankly. Scales work in relation to a whole key, not one chord. Cannot play a dorian scale if that Bbm is the 3rd chord in a Gb scale, or the 6th in a Db scale. Good tip, but as you said in the beginning, you just showed us what to do, didn't actually explain it. Also you said you use these chords most of the time, which means there is still that time which you play different things, that we still don't know. In my experience, you just need to understand where the chord is in relation to the current key of the song. Meaning when you hear a minor 7 chord, you need to understand which minor 7 chord it is, is it the 2nd, 3rd, or 6th chord of the scale? it's all 1 major scale, starting from different points of the scale. You gotta listen to that scale, and work by that - the key\current key ( it can change a few times during a song) of the song.

Why name 3 different scales since they all contain the same notes? Why not just have one name to describe the one thing? Not trying to be a smart ass, genuinely curious.

Wow! I'm a rock musician trying to make sense of the complex puzzle called Jazz, and this video just gave me a key piece. Thanks!
