Thank you very much!

amazing!! this has put words and concepts to things i hear in the jazz standards i love listening to and studying

Regarding chromatic passing diminished chords - it's useful to know that when it goes up it is always subtitude for a secondary dominant (either secondary vii or first inv secondary V) When it goes done it's not the case, though I guess you can king of call Dbdim going to C a triton sub for G7 going to C?

Grazie!

Thanks from Brasil!

Thank you Brent, one of your most informative videos! Would like further study in side step 2-5's,

I like your chord choices do you have a chord book \ PDF I CAN LOOK AT to practice?

This is awesome! But I'm not entirely sure I get your color code for your bars? Where can I find the answer?

Or maybe I just continue noodling the A minor pentatonic? Anyway, I subbed, maybe that'll help!

A lot to absorb

I'm not sure where the chromatic notes are in the side step 2-5?

Exactly what I was trying to figure out! I think the example used here doesn't contains what he calls chromatic ii-V Please correct me if I'm wrong

Instructions unclear Ended up playing Wonderwall again.

i only date backdoor dominants.

My head hurts….innit..

How would I eat an elephant? I am overwhelmed by all this info...it becomes ineffective (for me) to learn from. My bad, not yours. Your approach is surely the most comprehensive of all those out there. I will continue to struggle.

Oh, you're so right, but it's youtube: we're allowed to watch one chuck, go away and mess with it for a month, and come back for part two. But yeah, I'm listening now, and taking in "buzz, buzz, buzz, minor, buzz, buzz, buzz, major...." 😄

I prefer Socratic dialog. Ask me a question instead of lecturing me. It would be a much shorter video though.

pretty basic stuff.

Too fast, no didatics
