Such clarity - I’ve been working hard on my jazz theory and this is perfect. “When the student is ready the teacher will arrive”. Thank you for being there.

Your channel is the best educational resource I HAVE EVER SEEN. Its like doing a degree at home. Thanks so much. I will be buying your book come payday!

Find it in your heart to have empathy for those who spent 10s of thousands for a music degree and learned far less. They learned about Gregorian Chants from some schmuck named Grout, and that Mozart sometimes wrote in Sonata form. Totally worthless in the real world.

Hi Rick, enjoying your lectures. I love this one! Could you please consider interspersing in your future lectures like this one with fragments of either you on the piano demonstrating what these chord changes sound like or examples from jazz tunes themselves?. I think that would help "visualize" sonically what they mean. Just a thought. Thanks.

I sometimes play along as he's explaining if I have access to an instrument, that helps immensely with anything you're not already familiar with..... lots of Aha revelations.

Hi Jay, there's a program called mapping tonal Harmony that I've been using to study along with Rick's stuff. If you're bad piano player like me it's super useful because it lets you hear the chords and also shows you how to voice them. I can have it open at the same time I'm watching his videos and can open the song he's talking about usually and play along while he's talking. Very useful

Yes, hearing the examples would have made this much better. Making videos has been a learning process for Rick as it would for anyone. This is great information meaning a lot squeezed into 20 minutes.

Over the past 40 years, I applied a life changing technique taught to me while I had gigs with Herb Ellis. The key element I learned was to “learn all I could and forget about it.”. With only six months at the Navy School of Music, ( and a family jazz legacy dating back to the beginning of jazz) I grew a concept and practice of learning progressions and relationships while performing with listening musicians. I performed with Berklee icon John LaPorta from the time he retired until his last gig before his passing in 2004. Many of these gigs were also with Berklee Guitar program founder, Jack Petersen, who was in Sarasota for several years. They knew of my learning system and would constantly find common elements with what they knew and taught. It’s amazing that I understand and also hear the chords and relationships going through my head as single thoughts. Thanks so much for what you do. If we were to play together, you and I would be cruising real time in the outer limits! I am a bassist who creates with a young and brilliant guitarist Dovydas (on KZread)

Your videos are amazing and really comprehensive. I wish I would have had a teacher like you when I was learning about this stuff in school because your teaching style is awesome. Best music channel on KZread imho.

More useful than most of my university Jazz classes. Thanks!

@paperchasin23 Probably true for music majors. I wasn't a music major. I just took as many classes as I could fit myself into for fun, so they weren't advanced theory classes in any way.

I feel like this is the video I've been needing to see for years. Thanks for explaining everything so clearly while still having enough complexity for me to learn something.

I feel like I need to hear the lick when in the transitions like Adam Neely

Clear and simple. You can only do that when you know your stuff really really well. Thanks for sharing.

Thank you for this! I’m a college student and have taken classes on jazz, but this is the best explanation of jazz music I’ve ever seen... I love to play improvisationally but am kind of stuck in a box when playing to certain songs because I was having trouble understanding the changes in key, but this is really helping me... I looked back at “Girl from ipanema” after watching this video and it’s immediately clear what key I should be soloing in through the changes... Appreciate you sharing this, it’s hard to learn jazz when most lessons are people telling you which fret and string to play rather than explaining the musical significance of what they’re playing. This will help my practice schedule so much

This video is PURE GOLD Thanks Rick!! You are the best!!

This is an awesome jazz lesson for players wanting to transition from rock & blues to jazz. Thank you Rick for giving amazing insights into the world of jazz theory. A must watch video!

This is such gold, Rick. Truly, truly appreciate this information being broken down as a young jazz musician trying to understand progressions.

Wow! Never learned so much in one video. Thanks a lot for your generosity Rick! Your channel is my favorite on the subject and I think you are very inspiring person.

I've learned more about jazz in this 20 min video than I did in the last 20 years. I've always loved jazz, but was too afraid to learn it because I've always thought it was too "complex" sounding. I've played country and rock ever since the mid 70's, learned some theory, even a little about modes, and nothing ever clicked till I watched this video. Thank you so much Mr Beato! Now that I've decided to actually learn jazz, this video brings me one step closer to understanding it better!

Really awesome lesson! Good reminder for me to really work on especially when I'm learning new language or ways to navigate through changes

This is by far the best channel for guitar players or any musician out now..congrats Rick! Let's viralized your knowledge and kindness!

@rickbeato I just hope you know how appreciative a lot of us are out there of you dedicating time to the betterment of music enjoyment and appreciation. really awesome you've taught me a lot in the last few years

Thank you Rick! That is a beautiful nugget of information that makes everything much more clear!

Thank you, rick, for the wealth of information you have provide through your youtube channel. it is more valuable than all the gold in the world.

I needed something like this for some time now, thanks.

I'm so amazed this is free information that Rick just serves out better than any jazz teacher I've ever had. Mind blown.

Thank you, Rick, for everything you do! You're a great teacher and you give so many useful advice and information. I'm so thankful for you!!! God bless!

I have no idea what he's talking about, but when I was younger, my band did a killer cover of Deep Purple's "Highway Star"! And I love progressive jazz!

Thank you for taking the time to make these excellent videos!!

Thank you Rick Beato. Your Videos are so helpful.

All your videos are important, well explained... Interesting, usefull and on & on. I mean, I don't miss a single video.

very chunky and straight to the point video. good pace and many examples to everything. And its free. Perfect class

I can’t thank you enough for this video. Best jazz teacher ever!

Amazing! Thank you for laying this out so professionally and concisely.

this is gold. hard to get through my thick rock skull, but once it does, wow. now I get why good jazz lines land, these guys are always thinking two bars ahead.

Great explanation. Thank you so much.

Never before have I felt that I had learned so much about Jazz.

A very effective summary of movement by ii-Vs. Half-step, whole-step, V/V or ii/V, turnarounds. We've all played them, but I never analyzed them as you present here. Now I know what to look for and how to memorize the progressions more effectively. Excellent lesson; I'm subscribing.

Comes just in time, when I am preparing to find a great place to keep movin' on my studies... Thanks Rick, much respect from Ecuador.

Yeah, like others have stated, phenomenal content with this upload being a stand out. That's six or more months of written work and practice for me in one video. Very cool.

Another great video! I can see the clouds parting and cobwebs falling away from what I didn't understand before. Congrats on 50k. It won't be long before that is 100k. You are the best!

Thank you Rick for making such great content available for free, you are a fantastic teacher!

this is a great lesson. There's material here to be dissected for years of study! Thank you Mr. Rick Beato.

i was waiting for this explaining for years )))) thank you Rick.

I hope you become really wealthy. Because the information you continue to offer to us is priceless.

Great short and intense info...must see IF interested!! Nice Mr. Beato!

Yea, this guy's really a cut above and then some. Amazing teacher!

Absolute top music theory content, thank you Rick this is amazing.

I love this type of video, thank you very much Rick for sharing your knowledge!

I've been watching the Beato videos for several weeks. This particular one prompted me to pay for and download the book!

Great video packed with a concise summary of jazz theory that picks out the most important sequences which are key to our understanding. I'll surely be watching this a few more times to get it all.

I'm watching this not because I intend to become a jazz musician, but because it's fascinating and helps me as I learn more about jazz music just as a listener and fan.

most important lesson about music in my life

Hi Rick! I just found your channel and I'm so glad that I did! I'm learning so much and this is the kind of information that I was looking for! Thank you so much for sharing all this top information, you are the best! Greetings from Mexico!

Great video. Thanks for the lesson. Clears up a lot of stuff.

Absolutely fantastic!!! Thank you!!

As always, amazing.

Wow, just what I needed!

This type of material might be the best thing that can be done for the future of jazz.

Thi is pushing me to learn more , for sure , Thanks Rick Beato , your book is a valuable resource.

Rick you served up a full plate here! It makes sense, but I'm going to have to watch this several times and chew on it. Thanks!

This is great! Thanks for sharing!

Rick, your knowledge of the construction of music is great. Your really advanced in your knowledge and your ability to teach this stuff. I am not a musician but a hacker on the keyboard. I am trying my best to keep up to you but any gains I experience are all due to your teaching abilities. Thank you so much for sharing your knowledge in a way that allows us hackers to better understand the fundamentals better.

My parents helped me pay for an expensive music degree. I learn more here for free. Thanks Rick so much.

So good man keep them coming no matter if they don't get the views as some other videos these are very beneficial for the people who choose to absorb it

Probably the best music theory professor on KZread. Thanks, Mr. Beato

Thank You Mr. Beato!

This is so clear and helpful. Thanks!

Rick, I had gotten so far in my practice as to NOTICE each of the relationships you covered here and summarized beautifully. But I had not realized that each of them "is a THING". Now that you have enlightened me, I shall add them to my daily practice - each of these progressions in all 12 keys, using a selected handful of chord voicings with each. Before now I have been wondering aimless in the wilderness of jazz chord progressions, not knowing where to focus. I'll also add the tunes you mentioned to my practice rep. Thanks!

Thank you, thank you very much. You are very good man, Rick. Good luck.

Good job Rick - this is all very important and essential info and it is a great public service to have it all in the same video.

so it's all about moving 2-5-1/2-5 by whole or half steps. thank you for all these information!

Great lesson. It put a lot of things into perspective for me.

Excellent summary; very useful. Thanks.

Thank you. I love your videos!!

Im watching and learning - because u said you don't get hits putting up Jazz in the title. well I want Jazz to live so THANK YOU!!

Fabulous. Gold stuff, Rick.

This is really useful. Thank you so much.

Thank you for sharing. I'm a big fan of your channel.

Bravissimo Enrico.Grazie mille per il tuo brillante modo di esprimere la bellezza della Musica.Ciao.

You are absolutely incredible! Your kids must be so proud.

XCLNT Theory Lesson, Rick. Great videos. I appreciate the work done on the vids in order to make them available to us.

Awesome explanation! !. Gracias

Great explanation Rick ...if only I could understand it......and this effectively stops any mastering going on.....will review again also look for something simpler..man this Jazz improv is deep!

Chromatic ii V changes: Wes Montgomery's West Coast Blues. When soloing, measures 6-9: Eb-7 Ab7 | D-7 G7 | Db-7 Gb7 | Cm-7 ... Thanks for the great channel!

sooo good. love your videos.

You are one of the best teachers thank you . Now I can read modes .

Hard to work out how much of you skill is "mere diligence", and how much is brilliance, Rick. I never fail to learn something, alas too little.most days.

Good explanation of the harmonic analysis

That was fabulous! I'm sending this out to a bunch my friends. You should expand this with a bunch of examples a go on the lecture circuit with it. You nailed it perfectly.

Thank You Professor.. Great info. I feel like im back at Berklee watching this!!! :)

Great lecture!

LOVE THIS! Even non-Jazz players should pay attention for all the obvious reasons.

Thank you for these information they are incredibly useful ,thank you again.

That's amazing, thanks Rick!

This really helps! thank you so much..

Thanks bdy, I got your book, really good. Keep doing this classes.

Wow I'm actually finally understanding some of this stuff, especially how the key relations work!

This just blew me away. I know I could learn that, but it makes my brain explode. I need the circle of fith on a big board and many hours to follow this lecture. Thanks for explaining this. Have now to play it back on a quater of the speed you used.

If you learn the piano, you will never worry about the theory. It's easy to remember everything.

This is WONDERFUL!

Thank you, Rick!

thank you for this great lesson

Wow. Thanks for such an elaborate explaination. All the standards that I have been working on are finally making sense. This will definitely help a lot in improvisation.i will work on everything leaving the turn around which goes way too fast. Maybe next year haha.

Thanks Rick great stuff. 😎
