Really great content mate, congrats! I study jazz in uni and found your content extremely helpful, not to mention your videos about your mouthpieces or your reeds review! Absolutely brilliant! I'm blessed I've found your chanel, it's always nice to have a practical video for all those things that we learn!

Damn.. every time there is a V8 in the background sound I stretch to look out the windows here, get fooled almost every time ^^ Thanks for you videos man! ohh.. and Great intro tune!

Top notch adrian

I remember my instructor’s teaching method. I couldn’t figure out what those notes and chords were in the beginning. I worked mainly on learning those notes in sharps and flats, major and minor keys were a challenge (and still is). When I was learning improvisation, I focused on that single key or chord. We word on a slow blues in F song( I think it was F-minor). My instructor played the piano while I played and listened at the same time. I played a solo that was improvised and it stayed in tune. When we played other songs, the chords were changing and sometimes it scared the hell out of me. To Better understand chord changes, I listened to Motown songs to study the chord changes. Stevie Wonder’s My Cheri Amor was there probably the only Motown song I listened to only for the chord changes. Other songs from other genres and musicians followed. I wasn’t very good at learning music theory, but I do know it would be helpful in the future.

Love, Love, Love your videos. I am harmonica player (45 yrs. was full-time at 20 yrs of age) but, listen to sax players (actually do tunes/arrangements from Sanborn, D. Koz, Maceo, Marienthal) even though I cannot keep up with them harmonically. Also, drummers, Bass players help expand horizons too. Understand this video was more of harmonic interest, if you add timing/phrasing, ideas for a cool Myxolidian/Blues Scale tune, check out Little Walter's "Roller Coaster" 1 chord Vamp. It's Bo Diddley playing the guitar and it's a cool journey, great amplified "horn tone" for the humble 10 hole diatonic harp.

Great lesson Adrienne thanks 👏👏👏👏👏😎

Interesting things I never heard before. I’ll have to watch again and take notes. :) Thank you.

thank you Sir...

To use the Bebop scale from the 3rd degree as a lydian mode seems quite similar to your 'reverse diminished' scale you showed us a while ago. Very nice, thank you.

You're instruction is awesome! Thank you for taking the time to help open up the world of music. I hope one day I can return some form of meaningful favor back to you.

Great session! Crystal clear!

On a static tonic chord, weave back and forth between the tonic chord and the dominant chord. Bach did this and it sounds very good. I recommend using what I call the b9 arpeggio for the dominant side. For example, weave back and forth between the Am and the E7b9. Where: Am - A, C, E E7b9 - F, G#, B, D To start, try 2 beats on each side. Release, tension, release, ... Home, away, home again, ... You can add an F# (man 6) to the Am (tonic minor). This can be used over the cadence or the static tonic. Likewise for the relative major C static or cadence. Same notes. Very good for the ear. The b9 "chord" is just stacked minor thirds. Very useful and one of the keys to the improvisation kingdom I believe.

Great vid Sirvalor! For those maybe confused by this concept of "adding flats" to generate options of modes over dominant 7 chords, this might help. Thinking only in flats, and thinking only in numbering tones 1-8, then compared to your regular old major scale, the modes have the following: Mixolydian: 7 is flat Dorian: 3 , 7 are flat Aeolean: 3,6,7 are flat Phrygian: 2,3,6,7 are flat Locrian: 2,3,5,6,7 are flat This is why he refers to this as "adding flats"

Thanks for the short cut approach.. you really got to the point for better note choices....C maj7 = G maj bebop (sweet)

First time I've actually heard the modes performed distinct from each other. Really helps musically as I don't really get the theory. Thanks . Loving your videos

Awesome content. Thanks so much. Especially enjoyed the approach you suggest to dominants. It radically simplifies the use of altered notes and immediately takes advantage of hours and hours of scale practice.

i'm a guitarist studying jazz, so those dominant chords were just major scale modal superimpositions except for the lydian dominant? love the channel, liked and subscribed!

Hey man! Really like your channel (: When are you planning to talk about non resolved sus chords? (Good example for a song like that is "everybody loves the sunshine" by Roy Ayers, love that song! ) Really looking forward hearing what you have to say and play. Peace

Hey man great content, really enjoyed it. Can i ask you some records where i can see these principles applied that i can transcribe? Maybe some records you like, even one name is ok :)

Nice, thanks for the info

Most interesting view on the cycle and from there on a quick access to scale alterations for dominant chords. Looking at the notations, there are just two questions left: 1. It seems that only the lowered notes are given in the concert key line. Why do You show the natural d in the mixolydian mode? 2. why is everywhere a natural e notated in the bass clef line, while the modes are minor? Natural e is only 'correct' in the mixolydian and in the locrian scale ( the latter actually is not e but a lowered f).

I like to use harmonic major (C, in this case) because it has the A flat in it, you can use that to transition to C diminished (whole-half) or A melodic minor and resolve it in C major.

hi, hope you dont mind me asking but what quality of chord would you use the whole half on? i understand it's the half whole on an implied ii-v progression?

Only thing is on your dominant example on the one that was supposed to be dominant you hit that sharp 4! no I lied my ear is a little tone deaf! second note nows clearly a third but lick sounds good with #4 to replace it too.

In my opinion, any song that stays on one chord is in the same category as HAPPY BIRTHDAY, and even Happy Birthday has THREE chords! Why would anyone want to solo, or even listen to one chord, measure after measure? This is what I don't like about Rock. It is LOUD, and it is REPETITIOUS. I think for music to be interesting, it needs dynamics - not just the same volume of LOUD. And I hate the mechanical phrasing. Rock doesn't swing. It's more like a chant than music. Now, when you top that all off by staying on one chord for say 16 measures - or the whole song, what is there to hold your attention? To me, the more chords in a song, the more interesting - and the more a sax player can do with it. Add to that, dynamics like tension and release. Flexible phrasing that plays against the beat of the song, rather than mechanical rhythm. I think Rock is the antithesis of Jazz.

Most of these tuts systems are of forensic nature with half-baked interpretations of what really transpired over the years with them so called improvisation giants.
