It is said "Yin & Yang"... Beautiful channel, very informative!!!

[@laurielyon7740]

After a 50 year absence, I’m back studying clarinet with the focus on jazz theory. Your clips are pure gold. Thanks Nick!!

[@carguy3460]

Haha, sounds like a line from a Wes Anderson movie...good for you man! Never quit!

[@commentfreely5443]

evolution is just a load of bullshit you've been indoctrinated in.

[@kurt.schwab]

Great! This is a much better start than the usual "play the (minor) blues scale (over any (blues) tune)" - approach! And I LOVE your drawings!

[@clementpimentmusic]

Very nice to blend major and minor feelings. Great video thanks.

[@wassilykandinsky4616]

I love this great channel, thanks! (A little comment on "missing" links: If you look for a missing link between any two points and you find a point in between which you think is the missing link you have just created two new missing links in your mind.)

[@halasimov1362]

Such a great concept and tool to get a great sound!

[@tdubasdfg]

Very interesting. To my ear this doesn't really sound like a mixing of the major and minor sonorities however. What I hear is more like the minor 3rd being used as chromatic approach to the major 3rd which seems to be "exotic" and appealing because of the difference and clash between major and minor. It creates a quick bit of tension that is instantly resolved to the nice and "happy" major chord. Even more interesting is I never got to learn this kinda stuff while I was at University studying jazz. I'm picking up this kind of knowledge years later through KZbin and self exploration. My prof would get upset if we played a minor 3rd over a major chord presumably because doing so would suggest that you didn't really know your changes and you were just wandering around the chords. But I just wish more time was taken to explain these nuances to the craft that seem so essential to successfully mastering how to play. Like, me and my Prof would talk about chord changes but never "why/how". He didn't take the time to explain functional Harmony and chord progressions and chord tone extensions... He would just give me another 32bars of changes and tell me to memorize their corresponding arpeggios. Very disappointing because all these years later and I still have a desire to be a musician and to play at a high level and the time I should've been using to hone in and develope these skills was wasted on distractions and time consuming tasks like transcribing and memorizing Charlie Parker solos...as a freshman.

This is brilliant! I very much appriciate your videos!

[@roberthavard5206]

I enjoy all of your videos. Thank you!

[@ilhatap]

Dude, your the best online music teacher EVAH. So cool.

[@talkless8747]

Once again wanna convey my gratitude..❤️

[@jonasvalfridsson]

I think the Eb sounds more like a leading note in C major than "minor on major" to be honest, so the overall impression is still "happy" in that way.

[@frankle9]

Love this one Nick!

[@JazzDuets]

Cheers Frank! You look like Ozzy!

[@alexandermager3814]

Very interesting approach even for not only beginners.

[@jurdevries7393]

I've thought about this concept, but I was thinking of it as a more of a dorian/mixolydian sound, whats sometimes known as the dorian bebop scale. It also explains why minor pentatonic works on a dominant 7th chord with a major 3rd.

[@BeadsByAria]

This is great! I have always conceptualized Blues as being a third tonality arising as a hybrid of major and minor. My thinking here is that the the IV chord is a 7th, and that b7in the IV chord is quite simply the b3 of the I chord.

Hola Nick. Hace tiempo que sigo tus tutoriales los que considero excelentes. Toco el Violin (sin mucho virtuosismo) y traslado todos los conceptos a el, pero me cuesta un poco. Hay algun tutorial para violin Jazz/Blue que me puedas recomendar? Gracias por tus aportes.

[@OdinComposer]

When writing out parts for the instruments, isn't it better to write the b3 as a #2? I think it's easier to read. At least when the b3 goes to the natural 3.

[@marcelocandido1400]

Muy buen tutorial! Podria ser en español por favor? Gracias

[@BrunoWiebelt]

this was en eye opperner or better earopperner

[@0e0]

so is a general feature of this scale that you mostly play the flat third before the the natural/major?

[@Pteradactylist]

0e0 bump!

[@stillsupro46]

Can someone explain why in all my books and stuff the cycle of fifths goes the other way?

[@redlotus1138]

Still Supro perfect fifths and forths are inversions of one another (C is the fifth of F and F is the fourth of C). The "circle of fifths" is only fifths when read clockwise- counter clockwise it is the circle of fouths. It is much more common in traditional Western and jazz harmony to have chords cycle through fourths (as within a vi-ii-V7-I progression than to move the opposite way, ) although both a possible. Alot of people call it the circle of fifths because that is how they first heard it, but saying circle of fourths is equally valid when referring to the general circle and often more accurate when describing progressions.

[@AmeeliaK]

@@redlotus1138 thank you for this explanation, that's really helpful

[@serzok1]

👌

[@screemerx]

The. Blues can be considered a minor key a fifth above from the major. If you think in Barry Harris terms you can think a G minor sixth diminished scale over the C7 (G A Bb C D Eb E F# G). If you do that you will get the strongest melodic material over a dominant seventh chord, including what you talk About in the video. If you want an altered sound, just play the minor sixth diminished scale a half step above the chord root. This is what the old masters did. They very rarely played the more modern blues scale but always mixed minor and major thirds, in this way of thinking the major and minor sixth of the minor sixth diminiished scale a fifth above the dominant seventh chord. It is a way of staying in major minor territory instead of venturing into more distant exotic scales. Blues and jazz stays in this paradigm until the late fifthies and our ears a preconditioned to perceive melodic lines in this languages. Everything you say in the correct, this is just a way of expanding on the idea.
