They don't have to be an octave above. You can stack them along the other chord tones. They are just called 9/11/13 because 2/4 imply suspended chords. And 6th chords only include the 6, not 9/11. 13 includes both 9 and 11 (which could be omitted in the voicing). For example: C6 = C E G A C13 = C E G Bb D F A Cmaj13 = C E G B D F A

Hey Adam, actually cantus firmus started even before the Renaissance, with medieval polyphony, around the 12th century . Gregorian chant was monodic at first, then some monks added an ornemental voice to the usual melody which was slowed down. Cantus firmus was born !

Can't (canto?) wait until you get your well-deserved 1M subs, Adam. Your research, curiosity, diligence and (hard won) ability to distill complex concepts into high-yield material are so impressive. I send folks from pros to non-musicians to your channel.

Adam, I'm a basement musician/writer/producer (Mostly DAW with writing but some on guitar), and I've been struggling to re-gain interest in making music for a couple years now. This video, as well as a few others of yours has lit a fire within me that has been dwindling dangerously low. Thank you so much man!! You earned the fuX outta this sub!

I love this channel so much... GREAT episode!!!

I really liked the 'avoid' notes bassline and If you could do a video completely devoted to teaching how to use "dissonant" or non-key notes i would watch it a dozen times tbh

I think, for me this is one of the most beneficial lessons that you have done so far. I was an English major in college, that right folk songs, focusing much more of the lyrics than the music, but the melodies I create can sometimes be very predictable. My roommate in college is the music composition major and he hated the songs I wrote, but then again he wasn't focused so much on the lyrics.

I usually watch way too many KZread videos, with almost none of them actually giving me any new or useful knowledge, but this actually gave me some pretty useful and simple tools for lead guitar, which I've been struggling with for a while. Thanks!

Holy shit subscribed

I really love your videos man. I've been playing Bass for more than half my life now. I started off taking lessons and learning theory but I always had a pretty good ear for music. I was kind of stubborn and angsty (14 year olds am I right?) and I didn't like the structure of theory, same old story "music should be about freedom" So I'm mainly self taught, by ear and now im sitting down and starting to really educate myself about music. Weird things start to happen, like suddenly I have words to describe things I've been doing for years. The more I learn about theory the more I feel like I understand what Im doing. That understanding leads to confidence in my ability and is really helping to make me a more solid musician.

What an insightful episode, I came away with a lot to think about here. And I loved that tidbit at the end, great stuff man!

Although playing "red" notes sound almost like your playing wrong stuff, it's really fun to create that atonal feeling. Against a full chord on a piano it might be harder, but if your playing with some 2 wind instruments or fewer voices creates a interesting feeling of tonality evasion. Or at least is a great excuse to use when you actually miss something. Great lesson as always Adam! Looking forward to next monday.

A word of warming for young players. At 6:21, that is _not_ an F-sharp half-diminished that is being played. Rather, it’s an E major triad over F-sharp. Alternatively (albeit, somewhat loosely), it can be interpreted as an F#7sus. By avoiding the flat 5 (and flat 3, for that matter) in the accompaniment, we can safely play the natural 9th in the melody, sure, but the chances that this will happen spontaneously in a real-life situation are pretty low. The rest of the chords will sound okay either as played or as written; it’s only the F#m7b5 that you have to worry about.

@AdamNeely

8 жыл бұрын

+Ast A. Moore You can "safely" play a natural 9 over m7(b5) chords, it's voiced all the time in chords by pianists, especially in post bop situations. It's certainly not diatonic, and it falls heavily in the "green" category of notes (it's quite a spicy note), but its used all that time. That exact Cantus Firmus - the natural 9 of the IIm7(b5) resolving to the b13 of the V7 resolving to the 9 of the tonic I minor chord is a common voice leading pattern thats associated with Bill Evans. The particular voicings I used on the piano - E/F# going to F/B - yes, technically not the full chords, but they're very modern substitutions for the F#m7(b5) going to B7.

lol at 5:29 "Boo you suck"

Super curious: in a melodic/theoretical sense, why do you think about those non-butter notes as 9/11/13 rather than 2/4/6? They aren't really extensions unless you have the first octave of a chord underneath them right? Wouldn't it be easier on a single line instrument to think of them all as 1 though 8?

@joshday1997

7 жыл бұрын

No, in jazz, with some very sparce exceptions (Cm6 for example), larger extensions of chords are always labeled as 9, 11, and 13. It's because if you wrote a Cm13 in root position, the chord tones would mostly be spaced in thirds of each other with the root on the bottom, and the D, F and A would sit on top of the C, Eb, G and Bb. If you scrunched them all together, the chord would become very dissonant. Now, different positions will set the 9 next to the root (like in 'add 9' chords), but it is still called the 9 because of its placement in root position.

@ClaytonRegoMusic

7 жыл бұрын

I understand that, and that makes sense as to why they are labelled as such in chords. But Adam isn't talking about chords, he's talking about soloing. So wouldn't it makes more sense to think of your solo in scale degrees 1-8, rather than thinking of it as extensions to a chord that you're not playing?

@joshday1997

7 жыл бұрын

+Clayton Rego Music I know what your saying, but having two different sets of labels for the same notes within the same type of playing would be a tad convoluted.

Paul Thoresen Plenty of Prog metal players do it too, If it isnt in 11/16 they dont want to know. What I find amusing about elitists is they forget plenty of musicians CAN play what they play, they just CHOOSE not to to give say vocals more room to breathe or make it so non musicians can join in, or to give say guitarists the option of jumping around on stage. What I'm trying to say is they neglect the style of performance/method of audience envolvement aspect of certain genres. For example, people going to a punk/metalcore gig are going to want to yell the words jump about and blow off steam. Not watch how many notes you can play in 10 seconds. Plus it would be really difficult as a musician to be energetic and yet intricate and accurate over jazz runs in those situations. Plus it would not give the audience what they came for.

Try using a minor pentatonic scale, but flatten the 5. This is one of the japanese hirajoshi scales (taken from tunings of the koto). It uses the flat 5 like in the blues scale, but unlike the blues scale it omits the standard 5th and remains a pentatonic. The sound is definitely eastern though and you can twist a few brains around by switching between them quickly before anyone notices. You could also take the minor pentatonic again and sharpen the 3rd, I call this the Jeff Beck scale (don't remember the real name atm). Both are really easy to learn since they're just one note different than the most common blues and rock scale.

This explanation about note colors is absolutely great! I had known for a while about using target tones (I'm beginning at jazz piano), but I didn't have an actual "mental framework" to help me use them. Now this technique has become the second step I take while exploring a harmonic progression to improvise over it : 1. Play chord notes "at random" and try to hear "what they want to tell me". 2. Find interesting target tones. 3. Find nice scales to approach/decorate them. 4. [work work work work work, go back at step 2. and try other notes, work work work] 5. Voilà ! Thanks a lot for this video. You're an amazing teacher!

This was a cool refreshing way of looking at counterpoint, coming out of theory classes and the very rigid structure therein.

I'm coming from a very different musical background (self-taught, primarily playing metal on both bass and guitar) and am finding your videos massively informative in a strange way. They're actually teaching me more about my own playing than anything strictly new. For example, I now know I tend to gravitate towards what you call the "red" notes rather than away from them when soloing. This is typically done in a heavy guitar context though, so it's not as jarring as when it's done in a more straightforward jazz/blues setting. Nice to have a better understanding of it.
