[@saxman7131]

Thanks Chad. Just ordered the book.

[@Sue20022010]

Groovy man. Thanks for the great resources. I ordered some from your website and they are gas!

[@Gruskinator]

My favorite thing about Platinum is that you can stay on your bike in the route/city transition gatehouses

[@ericstrauch3215]

First time to the channel. Excellent video! Really helped to put all the information here, that I I have seen separately, together and get a better understanding. I'll be watching more often now. Thanks!

[@ES175jazz]

I'll see you soon at Jazz Texas!!!

[@jordanjacques8463]

Excited to see you tonight in San Antonio!!

[@versusherzius]

Thanks Master. From Ecuador

[@hansolo3087]

Phrygian Dominant maybe also (better?) known as harmonic minor starting on the 5th note (5th mode of harmonic minor, in this case G harmonic minor starting on D)

[@solomann940]

Thanks for that 👌

[@buddyfaya8631]

❤ I wish I found you guys 10 years ago 😂

[@yuricarver]

Thanks Chad. I really liked your version of watermelon man. Great teaching also.

[@jodieunganum1465]

Two extra strings is two extra octaves on the bass. A cool way to go. The same sort off talk you have with fx on bass. As a minimalist you should not be minimal on the many perspecives that music in general is offering. Njoy and have fun sir

[@SonicArchives]

very impressive!

[@SaxophoneDanLive]

are you using the closed fingering for your middle C's? those sound super crazy full

[@davidvallesmusic7541]

The rhythm in the third measure (the Eb7), is that correct?... (15:54) The rhythm sounds great, but was it written correctly though? am I missing something?

[@Rafael-nm7uz]

Man , what's your setup?

[@GobSmack-cv6vx]

does the book have the annotations on which scale(s) are being used as shown on the video?

[@chrismariner13]

Thanks so much for all these excellent practice resources! Curious why you’d suggest Dorian for a iii chord? I noticed you also had Dorian for the Dm7 in the Bb Rhythm Changes étude. Thanks again!

[@christopherventura5145]

I think it's because you would get a B natural in order to add more color, since B natural is the 9th of Am

[@chrismariner13]

Hi and thanks for your reply. I get that Dorian would add extra color with the B and F# (the natural 9 and 6 of Am7) - but that’s also the #4 and b9 of the key, so definitely a little out. Guess I was just surprised that Chad would start with Dorian rather than Phrygian - and even calling it Phrygian is an extra step as Am7 is really just a rootless Fmaj9 (I) chord. I think stuff like this is part of the reason chord scales get a bad rap; it can make things unnecessarily complicated. Be well

[@alexolague5965]

It may be that, in jazz music, you don't hear phrygian very often. It's not a "rule" per se, but phrygian it's more related to flamenco language than jazz. Even my teacher makes me practice more eolian and dorian scales over minor chords. Also, it may be related to the fact that, in this case, Am7 and D7 look more as the ii-v of G, so if you want to use that flavor, a dorian scale is a better fit than phrygian

[@brianvanhook763]

He is probably saying dorian because he is viewing it in the context of a ii V I

[@MrStewbee]

I think being a rocket scientist is easier than mastering improvising music.

[@thesoundsmith]

Improvising is easy - it's only when you try to _'splain_ it, Lucy that it gets complicated. Just use yer _ears!_

[@EvanWiederandersMusic]

They say when you practice you’re thinking about what you’re doing, and when your playing, you clear your mind and use your ear.

[@Michael-bt6ht]

That’s true. Why? Exceptional improvisation or composition in general is more than being academically knowledgeable. You must have years of practice which is thousands and thousand of hours and incredibly developed ears which also can take thousands or at least close to one thousand hours of ear training. Give or take hundreds- to a thousand hours or so. It depends on the persons natural gifts if it’s in their ears being gifted or physically playing, compositiona skills. Etc. it’s very Layered and intricate. Science academics is difficult of course but it’s basically one skill. You must be smart or at least dedicated enough to learn the material to pass the classes. There’s no thousands of hours on practice with your instrument, thousands of hours ear training dozens of different topics, more countless hours listening music attentively, hundreds of hours transcribing , studying pieces, I can go on. Mastery of music is much harder than obtaining an academic degree

[@karlrovey]

​@Michael-bt6ht IMO, it's more like becoming conversationally fluent in a language. Learning various licks is essentially building vocabulary while learning how to use them is learning the grammar. Being able to write them down is one thing, being able to apply them on the spot is the mark of true fluency.

[@damienhillssax]

I find allowing yourself to get it wrong - ALOT - and not giving up really helps. Perhaps most of all, listening to the music you want to play (sounds basic I know) even in the background whilst doing chores etc really starts to sink in. Enjoy the journey because that's really what it's all about. Cool lesson Chad! Love it.

[@Sue20022010]

THE Chad

[@shawjazzy]

Nice a new vid

[@puesvayatela]

El es el mejor

[@kptrpt1]

at the 6:00 mark the Eb lydian dominant pictured doesn't have a Bb in the scale. Shouldn't there be one?

[@brayans2859]

Great lesson! What's the chord substitution at 7:35 called? D7 instead of Dm7?

[@oscarherrerar.3496]

i think its the dominant for the next chord. like a V7(b9)/ii7

[@grandesax]

secondary dominant

[@sinatrabone]

Excelllent video. One question - Phrygian-Dominant is the same scale that’s frequently called “Super-Locrian”, correct?

[@billjazznblues]

Super Locrian, commonly known as the altered scale is the 7th mode of melodic minor and is actually the third option over the D7b9. Phrygian dominant as Chad explained is a dominant scale (mixolydian) with a flat 9 and flat 6. This is also the fifth mode of the harmonic minor scale, something which can simplify playing over minor two fives.

[@Osnosis]

Bill, as usual, you hit the nail on the head. I would add that the harmonic minor is a (modestly) problematic scale for most people, due to the augmented 2nd interval. Arpeggios help!

[@AGUSTINL0PEZ]

nice

[@sevenminaya1390]

Bought this but the sheet music and the tracks are on different keys. Can anybody from the team help?

[@Devanmtl]

the next "etude" would be very interesting to do it on the rhythm!

[@sat.chid.ananda]

noob here, i understood almost everything about the backdoor dominant, i didn't understand tho why in Eb Lydian dominant you end up with Eb Db?? i thought Eb lydian would be the fourth degree of Bb major, so shouldn't it just leave you with Eb and Bb?

[@DaDarkGuy]

Dominant always implies a lowered 7th degree, so it is a lydian scale with a dominant 7th, Db. Hence the name lydian "dominant"

[@MegaROGERWATERS]

Lydian is the fourth mode of major. But Lydian dominant is not. Lydian dominant is actually the fourth mode of melodic minor. Which means Lydian dominant is a part of Bb melodic minor

[@jojopt2]

“Soda and Tulips”!!!😂

[@jordybingi5727]

How can we know the mode that could be use better than an other ?

[@Osnosis]

There’s no “better”; your individual line helps determine which altered notes you play.

[@richardsteinberg7654]

Hi Chadel, you can play; but I wonder about your book keeping? You over market to your credit. Having said this, I tried to order your how to play out book for the second time. PayPal knows the rest of this sad tale. Best Wishes, Another Chadel!

[@Ruvfua]

Bla Bla tocas bien sigues sin decir la verdad..nuestros maestros no pensaban ni en escalas ni en modos..tenían un conocimiento absoluto del sonido de cada acorde ..y del sonido de cualquier secuencia…y reaccionaban de oído.by ear..de manera eficaz y libre..siendo capaces de desarrollar una conducción melódica y una memoria secuencial sobre las cuales tocaban sus ideas..que después se han llamado licks

[@MartinJennings-k4d]

It would be helpful if you didn't write in Bb and play in concert pitch-it really doesn't help the ear training!

[@daniel_moretti]

You sound like a very nice, wonderful person, player and teacher. But I literally have no idea what you are saying, lol. Too much of a beginner is me, lol.

[@ShayTrokman]

first

[@brayans2859]

Great lesson! What's the chord substitution at 7:35 called? D7 instead of Dm7?

[@ER-kn8iz]

That chord is just a V7/ii chord. So that Amin D7b9 phrase is simply just a ii-V progression but for the 2nd degree of the F major scale, which is Gmin7.

[@kane6529]

Secondary dominant I believe ii/V in G
