Hi Justin its me Gabriel

Good Job! ❤

Which of these 5 areas resonated most with you?

Try applying the techniques in the video (Repetition, Variation and Displacement) to a Blues in F or a tune you know this week. I’d love to hear your results! Sign up for the Waitlist here: www.playbetterjazz.com/course-waitlist/

Thinking in key centers was so... key... for me. Especially on songs with changing key centers. I think key centers and chord tones are easier to navigate than chord scale theory

VERY good stuff! Super helpful. I appreciate how real and straightforward you speak about the long-term process of learning jazz piano. The only thing I would add to this, as if this were a conversation, is that for me it's been essential to be aware of how arduous this task is, but to also be easy on yourself. I don't mean to take it easy. This is hard work and you've got to be consistent like you've said. I mean go easy on yourself by not judging yourself and constantly looking for signs of improvement. That mind set will bring you down and you might even give up. For me, what has helped me enormously in this long process has been to accept my current skill level and recognize that I can get a lot of enjoyment out of playing where I'm at right now. It's already a lot of fun to be able to do what I do. Having that to stand on gives me the motivation to keep pressing forward. I don't even think about whether I'm getting better or not, because I know that since I'm the tree (a great analogy), I'm too close to it to see week by week or month to month progress. My motto is work hard at it, enjoy it as much as you can and progress will take care of itself. Thanks Justin! Looking forward to more videos as they come out.

Really amazing video!!! Thank you!

Good video-very useful -could you please send me the free cheat sheet for drop 2 voicings ( ie A and B voicings ) for 2-5- 1 's in both major and minor -thanks

Good concept for a video but you went very quickly past the actual point i had to stop and google What IS a drop 2 voicing.

Very helpful!

Also finding myself enjoying this chord more often lately. Thanks for the video!

Nice. One more way to see/use it is as the tritone sub of the altered scale (also coming from the melodic minor scale, one tritone away). An example would be the A section of A Night in Tunisia with the Eb7#11 to D-, where the induced mode of the Eb7 is lydian dominant but I really think of it as A altered. The rest depends on the bass player I guess ;)

Thanks for this absolutely important , interesting and handy lesson. I liked the information density. Saves so much time , while gaining better insight through comparison.

Dm6 or Bm7-5 with G in the bass = G9...

Thank u. U r videos are great..❤

Like the info. A bit in much with the hands waiving around while you talk, though. Also could go for less affected graphics with the print. I appreciate the truncated lesson but you could spend a little more time on the musical example so one can really hear (digest) the differences between the options presented. Thanks for your efforts!

Nice video. Even without reharm, it always sounds good to play a melodic minor on the 2 of a minor 2-5-1. It is then more common to call it locrian #2 but it really is the same scale. Taking your example in Cm, one can play D locrian #2, or reharm it with Gsusb9 and play G dorian b2, in both cases it is Fm melodic with a natural E giving its particular color

Totalmente excelente!
