Chord Scale Relationships: What's the Best Scale to Play With Each Chord?
What's the best scale to use with each chord, and how do chords and scales correlate to each other? It's actually easier than you think! In this tutorial, we talk about the fundamentals- this is basically a chord-scale correlation dictionary that you can refer back to in the future if you ever run into a tricky spot. As you add extensions to your voicings, you can adjust the scale you use- we'll talk about why.

Noah and Open Studio are the two best jazz resources I've found
Noah hits it out of the park again. Such clarity on such an already complex topic.
I think this is the best piano tutorial channel so far. The explanation is very easy to understand and it helps a lot when writing jazz songs. Really thankful
9:19 another way for me to remember the altered scale is that it's simply the major scale with all notes flattened except the tonic. => C Db Eb Fb Gb Ab Bb C and I guess that's probably why it's called the "altered" scale

Success!! This lesson has encompassed years of study and goes beyond the Major Scale. A naturally flowing wonderful lesson. Well done, Noah!!
As a trombonist and percussionist all of this is new and very much needed!!!
Just came across your channel and I really love your lessons. I studied Jazz piano in college with a classical background, and this is the one thing I had the most trouble with. I’m really trying to get these concepts down now, and your videos are such a big help! Immediately subscribed :)
Absolute greatness! You open up the treasure-chest and show us how the gems work! And I thank you, sir, for so doing!
This blew my mind. I didn’t realize there were variations on the scales and modes that correspond with the chord types. Thanks so much for making this!
This is absolutely brilliant video. Thank you so much Noel.
I’m a studying guitarist and this lesson is perfect for my playing ( priceless actually) Thank you Noah for the wellspring of knowledge 💯👍🎸
Thank god for this! Been looking for this for about 20 years.
Immediately subscribed. Great content, extremely useful for a jazz student like me trying to understand harmony. I dig the presentation, and the clean presentation too; this is exactly what I was looking for. Thanks Noah!
Thank you. :) So much knowledge shared in 15 minutes. You are awesome!

Always enjoyed improvising, but I never really did it mindfully, so sometimes it'd sound great other times not so much. The videos on this channel have definitely helped a huge amount with sharpening my awareness/skills, and giving me lots of new music vocabulary to work with.
Informative lesson..thanx!
Really appreciate this video Noah.
Excellent work my man.
Thank you! This makes it much clearer!
Great video, so many different scales and chords to explore
Another good one. Thanks a lot.
Can't begin to describe how useful this is going to be for me. Thank you for posting this, I'll be back every 5mins to double check what I can use over what!!

Grandioso video, excelente aporte sigue así.
Also for the minMaj7 chord you can use harmonic minor if you're really looking for some dark tones, not really a jazz thing, but for other styles it's great
Perfect lesson bro, thank you so much!

Sooo helpful!! Many thanks to you sir. Also, what is the program you use to visualize the staff?

Super cool, Noah. I also find it helpful to think about the context of a chord. So the Lydian Dominant sound is cool as a 5 chord, but is essential if the dominant chord is a b2, b6, or b7, for example. One more scale I find helpful for diminished chords: the seventh mode of Harmonic minor. I had always been taught the whole/half diminished like you present here, but found the sound a little unsatisfying in certain contexts. I've been using the seventh mode of Harmonic Minor and it makes so much sense. So say C - C#o7 - Dm. On the C#o7 I'd use D Harmonic Minor starting on the C#. I know the possibilities are endless, but these two thoughts are actually pretty indispensable to me being able to get through jazz tunes. Love what you're putting out there.
This is awesome Noah! Do you have a video on chord substitutions? Specifically inserting Chords with extensions over basic Major/Minor 7th chords. I’m interested coming up with some pop inspired Jazz renditions of popular tunes
Amazing 👏
Thanks for the class Noah, the more I watch and study your material the more I realize jazz is all about knowing what goes with what. Jazz Is a complex world but not difficult one if you know how to "hack the piano" and doing everything very simple and effective. I will continue studying all of this!! and also with week 3-4, it starts to get complicated haha

This is exactly the sort of thing that I've been looking for, well, except I don't really do jazz haha, but surprisingly a lot of this translates pretty well
8:29 I love the Lydian Dominant scale... it has this weird, ethereal quality... hard to put into words.
This my friends , is value , REAL VALUE
you're an excellent teacher and a terrific jazz player. I just wish you'd have a notated copy of the short riffs you play before you start teaching or when you present a chord then you make an awesome riff. What I see are notes on top of each other like a massive chord.

Hi, Noah, and thanks for the explanation of the scales, but I don't find any pdf scale exercises on your page. Would like to have them. 🤗🙏
Easier way to wrap your head around Locrian #2 scale for half diminished chords: go up minor third and play that melodic minor scale. So a 2-5-1 in minor keys looks like: melodic minor of minor 3rd up for 2 half dim, melodic minor of half-step up for 5 alt, melodic minor of root for 1 m6/9
Hola eres un exelente maestro
