Exercises on Natural, Dorian, Melodic and Harmonic minors - all instruments

[@jdjones7065]

Nick I cannot thank you enough for providing these videos. I wish I had learned these things when I first started when I was 10, but oh well after 47 years I feel like I'm actually growing as a musician. Respectfully JD Jones toledo ohio

[@jeraldsayson7931]

First time I heard how beautiful this dorian is.

[@TheBlackTrumpeter]

Awesome explanation! Very inspiring examples👍🏾

[@JazzDuets]

thank you so much!

[@TheBlackTrumpeter]

Jazz Duets I also liked that you mentioned the Neapolitan substitution. Can't wait to try it to spice up my scale/arpeggio practice.

[@TomGoldsmithguitar]

The Black Trumpeter Real good for opening up scale vocabulary aren't they!

[@TheBlackTrumpeter]

Tom Goldsmith guitar most definitely! Fresh ideas to liven up our scale practice and improvisations.

[@KalakutaShow1976]

Great instructions and delivery.., crispy clear and elegant voice! A true music teacher. Love it!:)

[@Ludwigooo]

On of the better jazz tutorial channels!

[@craave123123]

Never assuming, always inspiring. Thank you Jazz Duets!

[@Hou126]

this channel become my daily jazz music improvisation revision before sleep! One of the best channel. would you please do a video how to practice altered scale/dmininished scale and the melodic interval of them? appreciate it.

[@GeraldWilhelmBradenComposer]

Very good video! This video will obviously help many musicians that did not have a formal education.

[@limawhisk7752]

Music Shoppe Gerald Braden. Does that include you?

[@le_roi_nu]

Bravo, c'est vraiment très chouette ! Très clair, super pédagogique et magnifique à écouter.

[@juandiegoam.2399]

Man you're amazing, I'm a guitar jazz stundent and u really help me in my study. Thank you man, Greetings from Colombia!!

[@JazzDuets]

Gracias compadre, abrazo!

[@RobinHautbois]

Man, I'm a classically trained oboist and I've been complaining for years that we are slaves to the printed page. THANK YOU for this: a really different way to approach arpeggios that gives SO MUCH insight into harmony and opens doors to improvisation techniques. Super cool!

[@JazzDuets]

I would love to hear these on Oboe!

[@jacobburr7835]

I've been looking for an exercise like this! Here recently I've been out of the routine of practicing every day. I still play faithfully everyday. With my self or friends or just noodling around everyday, but I started to notice... "Wow I'm kind of tiered of hearing my self play music" haha. But now is the time to for me to but my nose to the grind stone. I will be learning a lot from your channel! I play guitar, so your videos arent quite catered directly to me. But I kind if like that. It seems like a lot of guitar teachers on youtube suck you in with a few flash tricks, and there you have. Your videos connect with and speak to me in a way a lot of youtubers don't. So thank you for that!

[@JazzDuets]

thanks! I try to make my videos for all instruments apart from of course the sax technique ones. I think its always great to study other instruments. I listen mostly to other instruments! Also- music is more than the instrument! cheers

[@rvic11]

Your videos are awesome.

[@JonMulveyGuitar]

Absolutely one of the best music education channels anywhere! Unique and exceptionally produced. Go Jazz Duets Go!!

[@gessesbass6645]

Perfect!! Congratulations!!! Thank you for this true masterclass!!!

[@chaplainmattsanders4884]

And cool Coltrane quote at the end. Nice touch.

[@lemuscarlos]

AMAZING!! What a great video! Thanks for sharing. 👍

[@samhenriquez8412]

Great exercises ideas and very inspiring! Good job!

[@TomRivieremusic]

Very well done.Inspiring .Thank you

[@DeckardRJ]

[@AbrahamPaiva]

Awesome!!! Thanks for sharing

[@ricardomsantos1211]

parabéns pelo trabalho

[@kikesolis1077]

What a great patterns! A lot of work to do

[@JonathanArcangel]

This is such a great video!

[@Stemma3]

This is one of the videos I've ever seen about scales/modes. Congratulations, it's awesome.

[@reubenpompei3896]

thank you so much, i heard my jazz once doing these, now im going to challange him

[@egilsandnes9637]

Though the use of pure minor chords, or the natural minor scale might in theory be the "saddest" variant, it tends yo be a bit dull or parodic in my ears. The bittersweetness and melancholy by combining minor and major may actually be sadder. It's like a reminder of the good things, of what you miss or what you've lost. One might need that contrast to bring out the saddest emotions.

[@VicenteSanches]

Oh my, I love so much this channel that i can't explain... Your exercises are so outside the boring paradigm of exercising. Thanks!

[@Mtaalas]

Damn I love that melodic minors G over V sound... it just pulls your heart so strongly... I'd even avoid the F over IV for getting stronger effect from that IV... Thank you for these videos, they really help me understand better how these colors work.

[@wenaviste]

gracias

[@saamaist]

Woooow amazing

[@aliceleer6561]

Wyśmienite ❤❤❤❤

[@danippq]

THNKS GODDDDDDDDDDDD FOR THIS PAGE¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡

[@MrRezillo]

Wow! Enough stuff here to keep me busy for months (I'm a trumpet player). However, I got lost a bit when you started talking about Neopolitan 6ths, etc. I haven't paid attention to anything 'neopolitan' since I've thought of it as classical theory only. Guess I should find out more about 'neopolitan' chords.

[@arturoelmamiferoz]

fantastic work, i like it very much...amazing

[@MELONenSURPRISE]

haha digital form of applause , very nice , no great !

[@clasesdepercusion]

Muchas gracias muy buena leccion!

[@MichaelPontif]

Thanks

[@mr.m3276]

Just wanted to let you know that I really enjoy these lessons. They have given me plenty of material to practice. However, most of the examples you demonstrate use a basic 1-4-5(and sometimes N6) chord structure. Is there a video where you apply these ideas to a more complex jazz arrangement such as giant steps? Thanks and keep up the good work

[@lawrencetaylor4101]

This is outside of my paygrade as a piano Nooby, so I'll bookmark this for later. I understand what you are doing but I need to earn my chops, and for now I'm a vegan. You did mention something that piqued my interest, and I asked a professor of piano who studied at Julliard. She made a comment about scales and hand movements that the left hand was different in the movements, but it is actually a mirror image, n'est-ce pas? But we all learn the scales from the bottom up. Do Ré Mi Fa Sol La Ti , with the Ti leading us back home. What if you taught scales Do Ti La Sol Fa Mi Ré with the Ti leading us on a journey? Would this change the perceptions of a musician? She thinks this is more in the realm of music theorists, but aren't all musicians theoricians?

[@pepperwilliams4428]

Great teacher and I love the sound of your soprano. Is that a Selmer C or E rubber mouthpiece?

[@KarlBonner1982]

Lol Neapolitan...why not just go full Phrygian with one of your exercises?

[@bhaskarswar92]

Thanks for such great videos

[@rigodelgado7724]

Maestro he ensayado y la verdad no puedo tocar el sax alto como le puedo hacer. Espero tenga traductor

[@valkyriesound3888]

Should the melodic minor not have a B and A flat in the descent?

[@PercussionTV]

Thank you so much for such useful and great practice material!

[@guitarviruscom]

Really inspiring exercices! I'll try some of them with my students. What is the program you use to realise the vidéo?

[@jamescosey9398]

Thanks

[@MaitreDechant]

Thanks for this video!muuuuch appreciation ,you understand and know how to explain keep growing 👏👏👏👍👍👍👍

[@Sahara-ms6xb]

Nick, love your videos! Two questions: what type of horn are you using? I know it's a soprano, but is it a Seler, Yanagisawa, Keilworth, etc.? Really nice tone! Second question: What software are you using for these exercises --Sibelius, or possibly the Tessitura App?

[@JazzDuets]

yani . finale. cheers!

[@ronaldo.araujo]

Is that the mouthpiece that comes with it? What about the reed?

[@357CLOUDY]

I love the sound.

[@MarcosSilva-ou2ub]

Excelente

[@wegamontagemdemoveis]

Excelente

[@JazzDuets]

thanks!!!! you are the first. congrats! more to come soon!

[@bilabyatarsibarani7514]

how can we use this in a song? Twinkle twinkle little star

[@PaulNieman]

Thank you great stuff to learn from & beautifully articulate. Would you consider going a little slower with the illustrations and unfolding texts - there's so much information to assimilate?

[@treythoven5582]

I thought the thing with melodic was that the 6th and 7th were flattered again on the way down the scale?

[@akersstrings5682]

Trey Tillotson CORRECT. A melodic minor is different ascending and descending. He only used the ascending. Descending is natural minor. He’s just a jazz guy.

[@DimashCastellucci]

I know Dorian is pretty good but I seem to prefer the melodic minor on this one.

[@salvadorebaham7059]

Hi Nick, I am a soprano sax player. I noticed that there is a soprano sax playing on the exercises in this video. Can you tell me the brand name of the soprano sax that is playing(Ex: Yamaha, Selmer, etc....) and the mouthpiece used? I am currently playing on a Yanagisawa S901 soprano sax with a Jody Jazz DV#7 mouthpiece. I really like the sound of that horn as well as your videos. They are very informative and well explained. Please do more.

[@TONIKOBLER]

thanks , professor

[@fingersfingersthumb]

Hey jazz duets, Great exercises as always, i'm wondering what is that book you displayed at 0:24 For those intersted in classical harmony, i suggest the books Harmony by W Piston and First, second, third year harmony by william loveclock

[@patrickkyle4601]

Great finger busters. In my experience jazz tunes almost always use the harmonic - IIm7b5, V7b9 (modal one or two chord tunes excepted)

[@juanmiguelorrego7271]

Excellent work and beautiful video; however I do agree with the comentary of "dirtidirt" as that would be helpful to understand the diatonic versus the compelling sound of i, iv, v.

[@mullerpierre797]

📐📏🗄📈 Very nice, thank you !

[@olivierherment1188]

Merci Thank you it's so well explained

[@papneuro]

Unfortunately, I can't connect to PayPal to purchase. I wonder why.

[@ichabedichlieb4745]

I am a Jazz Student so im not easily impressed. This is a Well though out, effective exercise and the video is well-made. Thanks for your teaching and effort!

[@velcroman11]

Wonderful tutorial, very easy to listen to. Does anyone else remember "Andy Pandy and the Magic Round-A-Bout"?

[@juanchis.investigadorsonoro]

It's a brilliant video! Thanks, I have more routines for bass guitar practice :D

[@lapineverfly]

Great videos jazz duets!...really useful for every musician and wanna be musician ...have a good futur 🐰

[@muuroonggeooffrey246]

I am VERY LOVE your courses! Do you have any books r talking about this type knowledge? pls send me the link!

[@NicoRubioGuitar]

THANK YOU SO MUCH!!! this is so helpful for improvisation, i really like your videos for that

[@zecalimazeca]

JUST FOUND YOUR VIDEO. THANKS A LOT FROM BRAZIL. IT WOULD BE VERY IMPORTANT IF THA HARMONY ACCOMPANIMENT WHERE ALWAYS WITH THE SOLOS. I NEED TO PRACTICE HEAR THE HARMONY. THANKS FOR YOUR GENEROSITY IN SHARING YOUR KNOWLEDGE WITH ALL.

[@hans-peterjoachim7489]

Dude this is so heavy man thank you so much. Now i know exactly what i not only have to practice but also what i WANT to practice

[@gerardohormazabal1946]

Awesome! but Im trying to buy the pdf and the page dont let me buy it :( . Also, I cant click anything!. Help please :(

[@JazzDuets]

write me here: [e-mail]

[@edelvaistoto8613]

This video is really fantastic , wonderful teaching .Thanks a lot!

[@maloneycraig]

Love this stuff so much! Nice balance between theory and practice. Just discovering your channel now. Better later than never.

[@limawhisk7752]

Your presentation is lovely! I have tried to pay for the pdf three times. But Gumroad is not connecting to Paypal. Am I the only one?

[@ronaldhay9610]

Great, how about arpeggiating to the 7th also?

[@spoderman15]

anybody tried these on guitar? Kinda tricky, but if you use all barre chords you can kinda do it fast

[@marcelolima115]

This is what every musician must learn , as long as classical pieces , blues and Jazz..our ears thanks !!!

[@FranciscoMorales-qk4ux]

Wouldn't be better to make the exercise at the minute 7:16 in 9/8 instead of 3/4 with triplets?

[@robertduis6730]

Unpleasant Bb - instrumenst (my cornet) cannot play with the video but has to play one note higher.

[@mikewalker6770]

I wish you just played the scales sans a harmony. Maybe. Play them twice. Once with a harmony. One without.

[@Bigdrum2]

Yes, I enjoy the sounds. :-) Really nice and a great tutorial. Thanks.

[@angeljavier9541]

Muy buena explicación ... para mi necesito tablatura para los ejercicios.. es posible? Gracias Nick

[@Enamarley]

You just kill it with this video. Thank you so much for share your knowledge and good work.

[@christopherwilliams2092]

Glad I happened by your channel. I will add this to my practice sessions on the piano.

[@yes_its_THE_Dave_Alleckna]

You are such a big inspiration! Thank you and keep up the good work! Blessings and cheers from Hamburg!

[@kikiu2619]

Great work. How do I get the pdf-file? Via email?

[@JazzDuets]

link in the description

[@JuanPerez-mf2fx]

Awesome!! Thanks a lot Jazzduets, from Argentina

[@knucklesprayer]

Thanks for this! Nice way to practice man, i'm gonna apply it on my guitar rutine.

[@JamesMaurer]

These are incredible videos just awesome stuff here thank you!

[@8triagrammer]

I'm a guitar player, what is this crazy voodoo writing?

[@wislian]

U noob

[@Frygonz]

Do yourself a favor and ditch the tablature.

[@8triagrammer]

@@Frygonz I know what you mean, but even guys that sight read fluently will still use tabs sometimes, usually to see exactly how the guy played something, being that there are different ways to play the same thing on guitar..

[@wislian]

@@8triagrammer you don't need a tab to do that

[@SuperDoge]

I also a guitarist but I read music, tablature isn’t something you should when getting into music theory

[@pikachu-dn9nx]

Why is the 5th note of the scale harmonized with the i chord? Shouldn't it be the root of the v chord?

[@JazzDuets]

I do not like the word 'should'. If you do not like the I chord there play something else that pleases.

[@matsmanteatern698]

Beautiful videos! Just one or two of them will keep me busy for at least a year!

[@TIMG128]

superb. I've been playing jazz for about three decades. This has helped inspire me, and that's an achievement!

[@gcsings]

Fun stuff. Curious why you harmonize using Bb major on the Dorian and not Gm.

[@JazzDuets]

G minor works fine but is also found in the harmonic and natural. The Bb major is more indicative of the Dorian, (found in the natural) as well as the IV major

[@saxfish]

< I LoVe this so much, getting into minor investigations,Thank You ! >
