WOW! enjoyed this video so much 👌🏽🙏🏽 If you ever get the time and you please break down the cords in this video : kzread.info/dash/bejne/iXmIp7Scaa2-mqw.html
I think this is my favorite music channel now and I'm a guitar player. I just realized that because I'm back again and always learn something interesting. Sometimes it take a little sink in the half of a brain cell I have left but it does somehow.
YOU ARE THE BEST JAZZ TEACHER ON KZread! Hands down!
I definitely heard Stevie Wonder’s “Sunshine Of My Life” intro the first time you played the whole tone triads in ascending direction… what a buzz I got when you dropped that anecdotal nugget‼️

That lower shelf of books over your left shoulder is making me nervous. Thanks for the lesson. Good stuff.
I like your style of playing chords as a melody/solo. I'm trying to work on that; but you have it down cold. Nice job!

I have been a subscriber for over a year and I’ve never failed to learn something from each of your videos. Any thought to expanding the jazz lesson vocabulary to include for example hard bop or quartal harmony songs?
Thanks for this video, this is stuff I spent a long time thinking about on my own, watching clips of Barry and studying his playing. It is so validating to see you talking about it. Whole tone over dominants is one of my favorite ways to voice and move voices on dominants. Those symmetrical structures are easy to dive deep into - you can also do the same thing with diminished scales and their voice movements over dominants. Exploiting tonal symmetry for extreme reharmonization is the heart of bebop and Barry’s sound imo

Awesome!!! When I was younger I would look up all the chords to figure out what these jazz guys are doing and couldn't ever get a proper answer... Now I see what you did... augmented chords, but it's about voicings, inversions, and what you add to the left hand to make it more than a simple augmented chord diversifies it a lot!!! Great video! Liked and subscribed!!!

Hi 👋 In which video you teach movement using the song My one and only love by Guy wood Thanks man Can you also do Melody lines in chord changes on a fuel Jazz tune and if you have some already please share the link ? Thanks
dominant chord means you can move around mixolydian, lydian and now whole tone

Dominants have the most options as they come from the most scales.
At 10:53 what's that Ab B D on C? Perhaps from a C#5 scale? Thank you.
How can I became a member of your group classes or get access to your video lessons, whatever that is lol I’m sorry. I’d like to see what is the cost monthly and the way I’ll be learning from your educational classes.

I play my chords with my left hand . You play chords with your right. Is this a preference or method?
