This is the hardest part for a rocker/metalhead/indieguy (or girl) or whatever modal style musician who got used to play from one scale only per song to get to the point of being able to convert their playing into 'reacting on - an connecting chords' what jazzmusic requires. My head knew immediately what it should be and what I should do, but that same head never thought of starting with it a whole lot slower with quarter or eight notes to get used to it and get into it, like suggested in this video, excellent, thanks a lot!

This has got to be the best instructional guitar video I've ever seen! First of all, I've never seen anybody explain the concept of playing through changes in such a simplified, practical way. So thank you for that! But second, I've never before experienced the joy of playing through changes and spitting my coffee at the same time, so thank you for that too (I think). This is truly great shit, cheers!

Loved the part with voice-leading using just quarter notes, it is the same concept that is presented in Building Walking Bass Lines (by Ed Friedland) and it is such a simple yet very powerful and effective framework.

[@DavidWeinbergGG]

That's exactly right. Some changes are much harder than others, and those are the ones we need to work on. The I-real player is great for that. I also like to study the baselines because base players are great at leading one chord to another in a simple but beautiful way. Moreover, these baselines contain the essential notes along with the voice leading to get to them. And, because the baselines are usually more sparse, they can be adapted for soloing on tempos that are beyond our technique.

[@bluenoise153]

"Cantaloupe Island" by Herbie Hancock provides a good example of this, as the "solo" vamp moves between two chords built from scales sharing at least 4 notes, along with an appropriate island theme, for an island hopping workout, methinks. Nice idea!

I just wanted to say, that made a lot of sense. Thanks for the advanced baby steps, now all a sudden the idea of learning some new scales is more exciting, and also makes me feel good to at least know what I know. Normal modes mostly. Thanks man 🤙 that was inspiring, and although I joke with a friend about the "dreaded 2 chord jams" now I can hardly wait 😂

15:00 why is Ab7 lydian dominant and not just myxolydian? Or is that just an artistic choice? You make it seem like it’s a rule in that instance?

[@marbinmusic]

It’s sub V of I Minor which always gets Lydian dominant. If you play mixolydian they sound unrelated, if you play Lydian dominant they get tied together in a cadence

[@CoenBijpost]

@@marbinmusic thanks!

[@andres.igmendez]

After 15 years learning technique and covering solos I started learning about actual scales, intervals, harmony and my ultimate goal is to play over changes and this is a really wonderful explanation on how could I eventually approach it. Too bad I'm still stuck on 1 chord. How to actually practice to learn and play a scale over a 1 chord without much thinking like you are doing is my immediate goal. I wish you could make some videos about that as well, cause when i play scales sounds so robotic, always fishing for the root like you said, etc. And also, how on earth you learn all these scales? Do you go over the scales and arpeggios and chords for each one? you choose a particular key or practice over multiple keys?

[@dsmith9572]

With a brush drum track masking and the comping chords so muted you could play almost anything on a 335 and it will sound like smooth jazz.

[@augmented2nd666]

It feels like in chord changes you change to an entirely new root and mode set, so if one wanted to make a very complicated chord progression they could strategically make every chord outside of the last chords mode set, and even have each of those chords be a different mode, as long as the composer knows exactly what scale each chord needs you can still use whats taught in this video even if its so far out of diatonic chord progressions it sounds broken and random. Such as a Black metal chord progression using all minor chords and ignoring diatonic theory for the most part, then treating each chord individually as a brand new root. Cool concept and I found I was using this somewhat with some southern rock that moved between the root and it's flat 7th, instead treating that flat 7 as a new ionian root and just shifting, its probably wrong and lazy but so am I and that why i never went to university.

[@markdunn7828]

I missed something ; you started with “how to play through chords” your example blues in G to the fourth chord C, the 1 and 4 chord ; but when you started phrasing it sounded like you were going from Gm to Bbm playing dorian I thought you were going to how to play through the dominant chords! ty

[@JeroenvanOlffen]

Great stuff, thank you! Would love a bit more explanation of playing across/past the chord change (extending a phrase "through" the bar where the chord change happens). Also, does voice leading mean you're always trying to land on the 1st, 3rd or 7th of the new chord?

Hi Danny ! If I play scale by scale it's approximatively OK. (I'm still working on arpegios and scales to be 100% correct). But when I try to change from one to another by one random note (the closer one by example) i'm lost... I think perhap's it's because I only think thru intervals insteed of thinking by notes..? I'm a little bit affraid to learn every notes of each system / mode / arpegio, or at minimum the flats & sharps of . Is it really the thing to do ? Or there is another way ?

[@marbinmusic]

@@JeanKrst it’s definitely the way. Consider private lessons to locate and solve the problem.

[@JeanKrst]

​@@marbinmusicI will enjoy for sure lessons with U. I can't imagine it ! So talented, so multi-skilled, so fun... but, I'm over 8000Km from Chicago, and I have just enough money to pay my bills (caus'I spent too much time to practice and learn guitar instead of sell my own skills ;-) that's why I'm learning by free content that is available online. Thanks so much for that ! I wish you may have a lot of fortunated local students to support U, like that U can continue to dispend free essentials video courses for the poor rest of the world ;-) For the moment, I've spent 1h to elaborate an attack plan : I remember "all come from major scale", and you tell it : "dorian come from 2d degree of ..." so by the way I will try to learn first 12 tonalitys, that what I avoid until this moment, because of guitar intervals are easier to acquire... It seem's like to climb a moutain ! But it seem's I hav'nt choice too : I want to improvise, I have to climb the mountain ! Thanks for motivation ! And remember me : if you want to come in europe, I can find gigs, acomodate master classes & jams for U in south east of France and you're really welcome in this beautiful region. Thanks again for all. Have a great time. Sincerly.

im sorry if its a stupid question, but how do you visualize the changing scales if you dont use roots to anchor visualization? btw just found your channel and its amazing

[@marbinmusic]

@@TinyBolts1 thanks bro. It’s not a stupid question. Play a C cowboy chord. Then sing the bass note C. Now play it again but lift your ring finger off of the fret board and sing the note C. Now do it again but instead of singing C imagine the note C. What you are doing is relating a sound to another sound. It’s the same idea applied to scales. You can’t be the prisoner of a visual starting point

[@TinyBolts1]

@@marbinmusic i dont mean playing from the root, but visualizing a scale from the nearest root when the change happens, and continuing on the same trajectory. obviously its a bad way to get used to doing things for the long term, but i dont quite understand how a noob can begin learning to utilize certain modes over chords if not by visualization akin to this.

[@TinyBolts1]

​​​@@marbinmusic you said in a video that a pro player sees nothing when they play. a noob cannot improvise freely over changes. then what is a noob supposed to see to even begin playing? i cant get an answer to this question anywhere. can you remember the very first time you successfully played a jazz standard following the changes?
