Outstanding. I've never come across these methods in any other place and they are fantastic. I'm saving up for your books.

Love the guide tone line concept! I've always conceptualized guide tones as the skeleton of a chord, but now I see them as the tones that guide you through a progression!

Yes, absolutely! Good melodies are like crosswords - they work beautifully both vertically and horizontally.

I appreciated the ear training advice to not play the root first, but instead try to anticipate and then sing the third of the chord first, then follow with the root. It exposed my weakness. Practice, practice! Thanks!!
@JeremySiskind Жыл бұрын
Nice - good insight! If you play the root and then sing it, you’re only testing your ability to match pitch.

Really good restrictive practice ideas here. I used to wonder what the point of this sort of practice was, but realised a while ago that they are do give muscle memory of useful finger “geography” of the form, but the ear training element is the most powerful part. It helps closes the gap between what I’m thinking and what comes out on the piano. I also like that it shows how to take an exercise and vary it. I can already think of other ways to use it. Any chord tone, move the beat on which you land. ❤

It's always interesting to note what's going on in the CONSCIOUS mind and what's going on in the UNCONSCIOUS mind. I do feel when I'm doing language practice, I'm partially practicing the exact vocabulary/verb tense/whatever that I'm practicing, but moreso I'm just logging time existing in that language and that might be just as important.

This single lesson is pure gold - a gateway drug for real improvisation. Of course what Jeremy said applies to all forms. I couldn't decide which chord tones to target. Just one minute of explanation and I feel my lines started to sound much less crappy - when I deliberately target thirds or any other strong chord tones. The key here is - delibaration (of course we are talking about exercises, not performing on stage :-) Thanks!!!

Jeremy, I really like structured exercises like this. I'm looking forward to trying this one! The only extra thing I desired from the video, is for you to show us at the end how an actual improvisation (not exercise) will sound once you incorporate 3rds on downbeat, enclosures, guide tones etc.
@jeffsims5683 Жыл бұрын
It will come out in your playing. This is a great restricted practice routine. Once you become accustomed, when in an actual free improve you'll play more from your heart but with more jazz technique, language and vocabulary. That's the goal.

Thanks for the question, but I have to plead ignorance. I'm not super up-to-date on that subject. That said, I do know that even though the Casio was thought of as a terrible toy for a long time...these days, they're actually pretty good and still pretty cheap!

Hi Jeremy--Very specific question on this (while returning to this video for some basics as I apply it to every tune I learn!) At 3:15 you start the exercise of connecting the 3rds simply by scale, and then from 3:15 to 3:50 you play 2 sample choruses. (I actually transcribed that and the following examples!). In each measure over Bb7 you play E-naturals, not E-flats...why is that? Wouldn't E-flat be part of the myxolidan scale for Bb7? Of course the E-natural sounds better, but I wouldn't have thought to play it! (Is it because it's part of the altered scale? But that doesn't seem to be the scale you're playing?) Thanks! --Jon
