Jazz Up ANY Song with DIMINISHED PASSING CHORDS (Christmas Edition)

[@alexanderbprice]

Have watched a number of videos on diminished chords without getting much out of them. This is the first lesson I've seen that really shows how you can use them and how you can alter them indeed to work better with melody lines. Very cool.

Thanks. Great tutorial

[@mbmillermo]

Great stuff, Jeff. So much of this is within reach for anyone willing to listen. Your explanations simplify the process greatly. The tricky part is your trial-and-error alteration of the diminished, but even without too much of that, it still works.

Oh man sooo many good nuggets of knowledge in this video! I was familiar already with using dim chords like in the 1st example but later on in the video that just opened my brain up to so many new tools I can now more easily recognize and use! I mostly do a lot of jazz band writing and some guitar writing and this helps sooo much

[@lazzacharlie]

Brilliant teaching on diminished chords. Now I know how to use them! Thanks for posting Jeff

[@ginaperimian8859]

This was an excellent well explained video. Just what I needed to advance my playing!

[@cressidahoward7927]

Love it! Enjoyed the swearing too.... Glad it's not just me who gets machine rage 😂

[@JeffJacobsonMusic]

Brilliantly explained, Jeff 🙌

[@seasonfrank]

Amazing explanation. Deciphered so much of it for me

[@HarmoniqMusiq]

Hey Jeff. Thanks for your new lesson. That's amazing. You must add diminished and another type of chord voicings to your Sick Chords course. I think it's a great idea. God bless you.

[@AceeSoul]

Bought your R&B course. Looking forward to getting started

[@fabiancosster2992]

This is a super good trick.

Nice. Sounds like Barry 6th diminushed scale but in a new approach. Thx

[@charlottegodbolt5138]

Or dare one suggest a more complicated approach? As in Dim passing chord a 1/2tone below the target.. initially easier to understand maybe.. But then thinking of it and its extensions…. Possibly if one takes a little time first to get to grips with the BH 6 / dim scale (eg where say a min7 chord can be instead thought of as a 6 chord) then in practice that’s actually easier to make flow with less mental load in the moment… Maybe.. I do like this video though as it corroborates both and it’s always hand to be able to approach / reinforce things from different angles :-)

[@veenhond]

very cool. i always do this on intuition / memory (and sometimes fail with a horrible chord if i'm outside a key in my comfortzone) but i'm pretty surprised there's a method to it!

Gsus= Jesus sound good

[@jumill]

What went wrong in the video at the 14:56 timeline?

[@p0indexter624]

noticed that aswell

[@carlberry191]

Piano graphic crashed

[@philipcardelfe9716]

Do you have a easy version,, I’m new at this, thanks phil

[@petertarsio7168]

Whatever is the leading tone to A minor well it's G# the third of E dominant 7 and moving to dm7 its C# the third of A dominant 7th. Yes thinking if voice leading and basslines helps too. It's the art of playing melody and harmony and keeping in mind the root movements in the bass. 🎉😂❤

[@quentinmorales]

So, basically, it's a secondary dominant without its root

[@brian106699]

Ha! You have to watch a whole video to get all of its entertainment value…and teaching!! 😂

[@Melchor-gb5rd]

What’s new with barry harris ? 😅

[@geestman9]

Nice one! Do you do skype lessons?
