What a lesson!!! It's like instant dixieland music. Just a great concept that when explained, and even more importantly when played, makes perfect sense. Thanks again for sharing this jewel. .

Using the cycle of 4ths with this concept is reminiscent of the New Orleans Dixieland sound. Very cool to understand this concept that I have given much thought to but never explored. You just laid it out perfectly! Many Thanks!

To me, this one video, (and I was brought here by going backwards following the link from the soul scale videos), especially the "obvious" open voiced blues arpeggio, makes the segue for me as a player to triad pairs for more comprehensible. Also, the major 3rd/minor 3rd movement relates to Nick's orchestral videos, like the one on Chopin and other romantics. This cadence is so subtle, but all pervasive. Thanks so much Mr. Homes!

Hi Nick I use a blues “arpeggio” that is a bit different. As an example in C I ascend C, Eb, E, G, C and descend C, G, Eb, D, C. It sounds great over C dom, C maj 7, Am7 harmonies.
@joelpierson26285 жыл бұрын
I appreciate the line "it might take your fingers places they may otherwise have gone" That is the value of doing etudes. Playing the easy quarter note examples @4:24, I found the Eb to low C a little weak and the F chord line not hard, just a little out of my realm of movements. I'm only in my third year on Saxophone so, I'm finding these things often.

In African traditional music, on traits of which blues and jazz are built, there is no major or minor interval and no leading tone. There are even cultures where an equidistant pentatonic scale exists (see Gerhard Kubik: Theory of African Music) So, our western system is not the only system and can't be applied to blues. Blues artists, though, had to translate their (subconscious) hereditary to western instruments. Exactly in the way as Nick described it. (the addition of V7 (G7 in C) came later, as an adaptation to western sounds. Music unites!!)

Utterly confused! Just starting out on the ABRSM jazz grade 5 saxophone after going through the grade 4 and 5 classical exams. Surely the blues scale has six notes. 1,b3,3,4,5,b7 but none of these exercises use the 4th or flattened 7th

I am sure he probably did, inadvertently, just as for instance my little girl can speak and understand English perfectly without being able to write it as I have taught her solely by speaking to her ( she has not yet studied grammar as she speaks Spanish here in Argentina) . As an adult it was impossible for me to learn spanish that 'natural' way aurally, I needed the theory and to try to understand verbs etc. I believe learning music is very similar unless you are a genius.
