Again thank you Adam, cant be grateful enough, you sincerely changed my life (I'm not lying) I wish I could have had a teacher like you 10 years ago. You have such a great and simple way to explain the theory....

[@OM-md6ki]

Amen!! Swear!

[@mikeg6444]

Totally agree. Hella informative

[@zacharyhadley2156]

One of the first recordings of jazz I heard was strangely this from John Coltrane and Duke Ellington. The harmonization of the melody by soprano sax and piano on that original recording is always captivating to me. Great lesson/session!

[@andyburt3964]

Great practice, but I can't find the playlist. Can I get it please ?

[@ninrey19]

Could i get a link to that playlist?

Wow thank you!

[@ravishrestha9495]

WHERE CAN I GET THE PLAYLIST?

[@dd-lv6sr]

Great I recently spent $70 dollars for the course and the first 30 minute lesson (that I haven't completed yet) on Coltrane is made available to the public. Not sure how to feel about this.

[@dwcleary8694]

Wonderful lesson...but I don't understand why a pentatonic scale should be described as starting from the fifth degree of the chord - that seems needlessly complicated and it obscures the relation of the scale to the chord tones. Instead of describing a scale as a "minor pentatonic starting on the fifth degree of the chord", why not just say it's a pentatonic scale with the 1, 2, 4, 5, and b7 degrees of the chord?

[@gregleroy1]

👍🏼

[@markbra]

Really like that metronome. Are they still available?

[@rthorsen711]

Look up Franz metronome - ebay etc

[@Chilajuana]

I'm getting conflicting note choices on the D minor 6th Pentatonic. Some musicians are saying the notes are D, E, F, A, B, D and some are saying D, F, G, A, B, D. Just wondering on the correct designated notes for this scale...

[@adammaness]

I learned the minor6 pentatonic as the same as the major pentatonic but with a minor 3rd. In D: d-e-f-a-b

[@davidsheriff9274]

So you guys say a minor 6 Pentatonic is 1 2 3 5 6? I have always considered a minor Pentatonic to be 1 3 4 5 6. That is what I hear Coltrane and McCoy do more frequently on minor modal tunes.

You are correct. It should be 1 b3 4 5 6. The 1 2 b3 5 6 is more like a Kumoï scale, or Dorian Pentatonic.

[@markbra]

The difference is in the name too. Minor pentatonic.... Minor 6 pentatonic.

[@norakat]

One thing that cannot be taught about in music is good taste

[@breakfastplan4518]

is it 'Soo-Lar' or is it Solar? As in, i need new solar panels on my house. Funny how this is the only word people mispronounce in favor of miles accent. Yet, its a scientific word and theres only one correct way to pronounce it.

Looks like he finally stopped going into socialist political bullshit and start practicing a lot. Cool and solid solo. Awesome

Do you even know what socialism is? I bet you are not knowledgeable at all about politics and you probably voted for the bleach man!
