[@nicholasindalecio8211]

Very true! I Like how you mentioned Clifford brown..So many people are looking for the secret scale or substitution to sound “jazzy” but if you look at all the famous melodies of the American song book they’re all pretty basic diatonic melodies...and those melodies are the foundation of the jazz and bebop language

[@iandodds693]

Absolutely Nicholas. These high quality elegant songs teach you so much. Especially if you listen to say, Monk playing standards, Hank Jones, Joe Pass etc.....

[@KiraPlaysGuitar]

Finding this sort of stuff out. I was looking for all the crazy voicings and interesting subs I can throw in but the deeper you get into it the more simple you want to keep it, just out of love for the pure sound of melody and movement. Now I know I just need to really get my blues foundation strong, add some jazz harmony where it has meaning, and create simple melodies one can sing to, as has been the traditional for centuries.

[@nicholasindalecio8211]

KiraPlaysGuitar yup, then you’ll naturally figure out how all the other little harmonic things compliment the foundation. It’s very simple on paper..putting in the work to get there is what takes the work..and it’s an endless journey..really never stop working on foundation.

[@PhrygianPhrog]

Many of the song books tunes are deceptively difficult, though. All sorts of modulations and very clever melodic tricks, I mean these guys were masters of composing songs. They *sound* easy on first listen because they have been so well written (written to be memorable and catchy), but often when you try to sing them from memory you mess it up (so many jam sessions...). I used to think it was all easy peasy, but to be honest I now consider it easier to play some fast Trane change lick or Slominsky pattern than to play a standard melody beautifully and with the right emotional intent. I'm not being facetious here, but "Twinkle Twinkle Little Star" can be an advanced exercise! The variables are fewer so the quality of each note within the overall context stands out more (the precise character of each scale degree in a given context). I'm reminded of being at school when the swotty kids would brag about all the band music being "easy" and how they could play a grade 8 piece, full of stupid ego and sloppy fast fingering like a typewriter, and actually unable to play the simpler pieces convincingly, missing the entire point of music itself. Rant over!

[@champanachampana4881]

You guys are fantastic. 1stly, I'm a guitarist not a pianist. You guys do everything so fast and have great ears, that some of us normal humans, don't have. Slow it down and or, put up pdf of what you are doing so that we can slow it down. Keep up the great work. Thanks.

[@Gerard_2024]

Couldn´t agree more with your observation. The notes are going by too fast. Rather than being an instructional video, it comes across as two master musicians in an intensive competition to produce the coolest lines.

[@christheother9088]

When I want something slowed down, I grab the audio as an mp3 then play it at an arbitrary slow speed with VLC (and choose a small section to repeat).

[@m1garandisthebest]

You can use the slow down feature of youtube to play this as slow as .25 speed!

[@Ubersil]

They're fast but I like the pace they go at. There's other jazz instructors I go to for slower instruction when I can't keep up with these guys.

[@potatoindespair4494]

Wow, love that chromatic shift thing! Never thought to do a chord substitution where you pack additional chords inside haha

[@time0503]

That chromatic shift: ii / V then UP 1/2 step - - whooooee. Specially working it into a natural sounding melodic arc. Now I know how I'll spend my next few weeks . . .

[@shajane]

My favorite jazz is the kind with a strong pulse and rhythm--BEBOP FOREVER!!

[@stein0niets]

Chromatic line shift, love it! some small note on playing outside (which helped me a LOT): A.) go outside by playing a note that definitely isn't in the scale. B.) and get back inside by playing a note that isn't in the outside scale. (similar notes could be used in a subtile way to "glue" or "mimic" but give a feeling of doubt if they are used to transition from and towards.) Great lines though! Mine sound nothing close to Peters! Im missing the rhythmic trick of using 8note "bebop scales" and Barry Harris trick of using chromatics between whole notes and put other cord note jumps between halfsteps e.g G Gb, F A, E Eb, D (on a C6) instead of G, F, E, D as melody.

[@JohnnyJazzFreak]

Mind expanded. You guys are great. What I like about you guys is that there's none of this idiotic "guarding my own precious shit' stuff, hallmark of small minds and limited thinking. You guys obviously know enough to know that the possibilities are endless and that you're not afraid to plumb the depths and share them with the rest. Learn a riff and you keep a man alive for a day. Teach a man to riff and you keep a man inspired to riff forever. What we have to realize is that "my stuff" is not precious in the sense that it's unique, never to be repeated, set in stone, rigid and fixed. Peals are precious if they're rare. But if pearls are omnipresent and they're there for the taking, then we're not limited to enclosing a single pearl in a showcase and holding it up as state-of-the-art. It's not fossilized goodness. Being at a deep level of connectedness with music, each moment of spontaneity (as in "what was that you played?") is not so precious in that way, because you know there's so much more you can do or that can be done. It's just a fluid moment. Like George Benson, throwing away the best part of his solo at the end of the tune, because it's effortless and he knows he can do the same tomorrow or at any time. Kudos for this. This is excellent. Keep up the good work.

... or more generally (on #4 "diminished") taking advantage of symmetries in harmony combined with common half-step voice leading? (works for augmented, and whole-tone (well, it's only a 2-stepped ladder, but still useful for changing a lightbulb))

[@emamkankhmind3688]

Ridiculous! Im such a stan . mind blown!!!!!!!

Hello, thi is trully a great video. I have found the Hack# 4 a little bit tricky to understand. I understood the use of Eb-7 Ab7/D-7 G7/ C, but I don't know why works well D-7 G7/A-7 Eb7/C...anyway sounds very cool. Thank you!

[@mharbaugh]

The ii-V is such a strong motion that you can place ANY ii-V before a tonic chord, and it can work. Dm7 G7 C6 Bm7 E7 C6 F#m7 B7 C6 Abm7 Db7 C6 Etc.. Dave Liebman talks about this in his great book "Chromatic Approach to Jazz Harmony and Melody."

[@kennethreed8746]

Eb-7 to Ab7 almost outlines G7altered so it just creates more tension that’s my theory

[@jazzzman1000]

Good stuff. Why not slow it down so intermediate players can follow along more easily? Feels a little competitive between you two.

[@tiluriso]

Just realized that in the intro, you guys are kinda playing lines over some of the changes of 'Donna Lee'. Adam's first lick is like ii/V/I in Ab, then Peter's second lick in the relative minor, that ii/V/i in Fm, then both play subsets of the diminished scale that work over that B diminished chord that leads to the turn around of the tune.Then you guys hit some magic voicings implying the V and I?

Anytune has been saying their coming out with an Android version FOR YEARS now! At one point I had to buy and return 3-4 different ipads just to find one that was compatible with the app. If you don't have the newest Ipad , it won't let you download the app. Some people mention a " legacy " version that works for older Ipads.. i've done that multiple times.The legacy versions glitch right away and never work properly. Sorry to rant, but Anytune has been pretty " Cartel-ish " with their app. Basically if you don't own newer apple products you can't get it.

@@ABCABC-gv1gc I see what you mean,but I think it's better if you listen to the concepts rather than watching what they doing,cause they not really showing how to do it,but they teach how to think of it then doing it will automatically come with that.For me I still gained something even though they play too fast cause they really exposing the theory behind what they playing and that won't only help you play the exact thing but you can use it even in your own ways.As the great Bill Evans said in one of his interviews 'Teaching of jazz is a very touchy point it ends up with a jazz player teaches himself ultimately if he's going to be a serious jazz musician '
