Spain - A Jazz Improv Lesson in 5 Levels (Chick Corea)

[@DylanEdwardsMusic]

I'm not a vibes player but somehow this was one of the most clear videos out there on how to tackle these changes - Thanks!!

[@TimCollinsVibes]

Thanks! The information is definitely universal regardless of instrument.

[@goncalonunesfonseca6091]

Exactly what I was about to comment...

[@DanielFriendMusic]

Agreed

[@brassmagic]

Trumpet player here. Wow! I've watched a few YTs on Spain improv. This is by far the most useful. Brilliant

[@TimCollinsVibes]

Thank you!

[@marcellouis2448]

This was one of the best videos on this song ive ever watched

[@amanueltesfaye1225]

I missed how my college professor breaks down jazz pieces for me, then saw this video, which is very similar to what my professor use to do(except last two levels). You are the best at teaching this stuff, stay blessed brother!

[@haidendavis4517]

I’m a classical violinist trying to get into jazz- your videos have been a game changer for me. Thank you!

[@TimCollinsVibes]

Glad to hear it! I teach classical musicians all the time, it's lots of fun.

[@Cacau165]

Me too

[@insidejazzguitar8112]

Tim’s lessons are THE best!

[@joachimmunzberg]

I'm Not a vibeplayer but this to me is one of the best and most understandable tutos in the net.But: " Spain" is basically Inspiration by a Flamenco palo called the TARANTA . Chick Corea adapted some of the basic structures and harmonically transformed it into a context with western aproach. So if you want to make it sound spanish or andalucian one has to get back to the feel of Taranta and the way of Flamenco ....

[@dinarick1]

Wow! Never could crack this tune, I was always using straight "key of the moment" type playing and it never sounded right. As soon as you said to use the Arpps with the key signature all my musical furniture was moved. The scales have fallen from my eyes. You, Sir, rule the internet for a day!

[@edwardaviles6665]

What else can I say that hasn't been said'. God bless you Tim. Muchas Gracias desde Puerto Rico

[@similuy1180]

you are a very good teacher! very clear and easy to understand. thanks so much for your time making this tutorial..

[@StuartVail]

Good ideas. I've always taught my students to learn the shapes of scales and be able to play them from the bottom to the top of the instrument. Your videos are very well done.

[@marvinl997]

Not just a great video on how to play over Spain but you can totally take this approach to other standards as well, fantastic video. Love you way you broke that down

[@jeffersonardanuy7169]

super aula , para um tema que todo mundo gosta , congratulitinos teacher , super inspiration , thank you very much

[@ikeruriarte8669]

Thank you mr. Collins for mapping with numbers & colours every chord. It's fantastic for voice leading and phrasing fluently across the chord changes! 👏👏👏👏👏👏

[@danieldefilippis5758]

Thanks you are the best !!!

[@axeman2638]

Simple clear explanations, picked up a few ideas from this thanks. The difficulty with this tune is more the tempo is usually played at.

[@jongar]

AWESOME Tim!!! Been working on Spain for many years.. now it all makes sense. Thank you and subscribed!!!

[@pierrebriquet]

Man. I never watched a video so good about practicing improv. Thanks.

[@M.L1890]

3:42 you can also called that scale as F# phrygian dominant

[@mattytrane]

This is excellent! Clear concise and musical throughout. Thanks for the content.

[@christhomas282]

Dude.. the SHAPES are an EPIC concept... please keep developing this for everyone.. plus theory explanations! Thanks Tim...

[@gregcruz6517]

bro the way you describe how what scale we are in but where we start and relating to the modes has helped me so much with your visualizations. i am a little drunk so words arent conveying what i mean but your visuals are amazing and very helpful. i only know my circle of fourths muscle memory, so this helps me kow hwere i need to practice!

[@javiercalzada407]

Thanks, Tim. Keep doing these videos. Thanks for showing the form concept visually; this helps learners like me to internalize the idea.

[@bencarrielsr.6699]

My first exposure fo Tim Collins! I am blessed. The lesson was extraordinarily well produced, aided by careful planning and confirmed by Tim's relaxed performances. I learned so much. Thank you many times.

[@Darrenowsley]

I Love these lessons 4 and 5 so easy to understand Thank You! if you ever need a guitarist here I am

[@alberto_gebauer]

Sensacional! Fantastic! Wunderbar knowledgement. 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼🔝 🇧🇷

[@TimCollinsVibes]

Thank you!

[@heitorperes3326]

Excellent and simple explanation.

[@skiadikt]

a very clear approach to breaking down and ultimately improvising over this tune. thanks.

[@NgopiCore]

Hello Tim, Im a keyboardist who play on a small gig and local cafes, didnt get enough education like music course or theory but at the same time I really like jazz and all the complex solo from famous artists or pro musicians friends. I play pop and and all arround music, self taught, and on my 4 or 5th years of music journey, i just realized that im lack at solos, clarity, technique, and fundamental of advanced chord progressions, most of what i did was based on feel and i realized that its not enough. I really thankful for ur lecture that i just watched, definitely gonna try it on my keyboard right after watching this hahah, its really helpful, thankyou Tim Collins, keep making great videos, greeting from Indonesia, subscribed

[@RM-gm7lu]

Brilliant!!! Just Brilliant!

[@DPmusictelevision]

I'm a guitarist but...THIS IS AWESOME!!

[@eViolinity]

Thanks! A super systematic approach and a good presentation of the idea behind

[@RahulDas-zy6ut]

The work behind the video❤❤❤

[@FAFA-vs9in]

Vos leçons sont fantastiques, merci infiniment.

[@erimkies]

I'm completely blown away! This was incredible, thank you so much Tim. This gives so much food for thought as far as tackling any sort of chord changes, is concerned. Definitely gives you a lot to think about and go over!

[@mbmillermo]

This might be the best introduction to improvisation I've seen on KZbin. One thing I'd add -- the "Mixolydian ♭9♭13 scale" (3:45 and 5:00) is also called the Phrygian dominant scale. I get why you would rename it, but it is also good for people to know the conventional name.

[@TimCollinsVibes]

Thank you! To be honest, I actually didn’t know the official name of that scale myself, otherwise I would have said it. Makes sense though. I think the most important thing is for people to understand that it’s coming from the harmonic minor.

[@pierresaintdaniel300]

You are very excellent proff

[@jensblaute7654]

instant one of my new favorite youtubers my guy .. so well explained! props for putting this out there

[@UltrafiAV]

Fabulous presentation!

[@noisydoll168]

Thank you so much for the way you've presented this. It's a lot easier for me to keep up with/retain the theory when I can hear the sound, hear the name, and see something to tie it together. Then while I go to practice it, I can use that visual scaffolding to recall the stuff until it becomes deep knowledge and I don't need the scaffolds anymore.

[@TimCollinsVibes]

Thanks!

[@PUBHEAD1]

Watching this makes me realize how much my college professors sucked teaching our music program

[@austinskeffington3248]

Was thinking the exact same thing 😂

[@granddaddy_funk]

Yeah but now you have resources. Check out open studio

[@andybolee]

This is the best video for improvisation (...and I'm a guitar player!) Awesome man!

[@jazzed2b]

wow incredible! I though this tune was challenging enough on guitar let alone you playing it on percussive keys...its like playing piano and drums all at once...impressive!

[@williamwingert2340]

Amazing teacher! So Happy I found you Tim!!!!

[@RENEARBOLEDAMAGIC]

Espectacular Master.!!!

[@scotmarvin8991]

So much great information and guidance here. Thanks, Tim!

[@christophcloren4740]

Thank you for this great tutorial !!

[@tioliak]

Vibraphone is the best musical instrument for jazz teaching!

[@angelopianamusic4482]

Great video 👏👏

[@future62]

Vibes are such a great teaching tool haha. I don't think I've ever found it easier to follow changing scales

[@zecalimazeca]

Wow. Just discovered this channel. Great teacher. Saving to come here later to follow your lesson with more time. Thank you and greetings from Brazil

[@bryanmellado2874]

[@jeffersonardanuy7169]

sorry , congratulations professor eu não sei falar inglês , sou Brasileiro e vou tocar conforme suas dicas , achei muito bom. nota 10 pra vc Maestro

[@DrumMaster999]

Many thanks for this video! It`s just what I was looking for a long time who actually could explain me and show the ideas how to improvise the "Spain". And finally, there you are! Thanks again, Tim! You`re doing a really great job!

[@spoingus20]

This is one heck of a music course. Thank you so much. !

[@tdlaney]

This is really amazing!! I needed this exact video about 3 years ago when I was giging this tune with a small group and was really struggling with how to approach my theory thinking wile soloing (piano). I really love the way you broke down the theory - thinking of the whole tune as a variation on the Bm scale with a slight change for 3rds on the appropriate chord - so simple! And thanks for the great way you explained the shapes and the resulting theory - I am going to write all that down and use it in my practice (and steal it for other tunes) :) Became a 'Subscriber' after this video - which was my first one of yours! THX!!

[@TimCollinsVibes]

Sorry it's late, but glad you enjoyed it ;)

[@VacheMulticolore]

You are watching a master at work

[@djlewig9067]

Super, i loved it!

[@alaskannyc]

Mind blown. This is fantastic!

[@goncalonunesfonseca6091]

Hey! Great video! Do you think this idea of mixing chord tones and notes from the overall key would be useful and helpful in other tunes as well? Really want to make my soloing less diatonic but don't know what "wrong notes" to choose and this seemed to have that effect...

[@TimCollinsVibes]

Generally speaking, yes - this works on most tunes, unless it's something that really modulates to many different keys.

[@tombrown.studio]

Okay so I’m not crazy and you also see shapes on the vibe-great video as always Tim :)

[@TimCollinsVibes]

Thanks man ;) Yeah, I've gotten more into the idea of shapes lately.. not sure what took me so long.

[@rubeng3m]

Great Sound

Instant new sub. Totally translatable to piano (except I have to transpose it all up a half step b/c the Jennings Big Band version is in Cm).

Wow is all I can say. or just amazing is even better. mr collins should be called mr big brain

[@lexfiddle]

Wow. You are really gonna help me raise this to another level. I like the way you think right to the point. Any advice on where I could get a lead sheet to the melody??? Thanks.

[@Shorter-Stories-TUL]

Super Tim, wie immer.^^ Ich spiele die letzte Dominante, also das B7, fast ausschließlich auch als B7/b9/b13, also auch als HM5. Diesen Übergang auch mal als B7/b13 (also mit großer 9) zu spielen, klingt auch super, irgendwie etwas "duriger".^^ Werde ich auch in Zukunft mal versuchen. ... Thx ... Vielleicht kann man den auch als 5. Stufe von E Harmonisch-Dur betrachten, ist dann als B7/b9/13 (aber nicht HTGT, die ja auch oft so bezeichnet wird) wie B7 mit b9, klingt vorne etwas "exotischer", aber hintenraus mit der großen 13, glatter nach herkömmlichen Dominantakkord. Deine Version dieses Akkordtyps habe immer als eher 5. Stufe von Melodisch Moll verstanden, und da es ein Dominantakkord ist, Mixo/b13 genannt, also in diesem Fall dann B7/b13. Aber ich stehe einfach total auf das C von B7/b9/b13, mit reiner Quart & reiner Quint, ..... einfach geil.^^ Ach, und natürlich sind bei den 4 Takten F#7/b9/b13 (Takt 5 bis 8) immer auch gerne alle Licks von Halbton-Ganzton von F#7/b9/13 am Start, da kann man ein paar "Apparate" rausquirlen lassen.^^ Haut Chick an diesen Stellen auch immer gerne raus.^^ Liebe Grüße und weiter so, Ich bin ein großer Fan Tom
