    Thank you so much. You have no idea how much i appreciate you teaching and how valuable it is. This kind of stuff here is exactly what people were dreaming about when we invented the internet. You are awesome.

      No worries, mate. My pleasure. I've gotten more than enough free stuff from the internet, so it's only fair that I give a bit back :) Thanks for the comment.

    Thank you for teaching one of the clearest demonstrations of how to use the permitted upper register notes (9s, 11s and 13s) along with the chord tones to create the magic of jazz in licks in the 2-5-1 progression. Its quite a breakthrough for me

    I don't comment on tutorials often, but this approach to improv is pure gold. It cuts through all the guesswork, but still allows for plenty of personal creativity in the process.
    I thank you immensely.

    This is a very significant and comprehensive lesson in jazz improvisation. Thank you very much. For others there is good summary available on site. (link above) You'll have to go a long way to find something as good as this if you are learning improvisation, just sayin'.

    Most of the time I ignore the theory of these vids and focus on the verbatim notes, but this is a notable exception to that pattern. Well done sir!

    Accidentals count for the note before which they are placed. Unlike in classical notation, being within the measure. Where we would a restoration sign for repeated following note. As a precaution to avoid confusion. Thanks. Bon PASCO from ARUBA. That's Merry Christmas from ARUBA.

    Are modes essentially the same concept but another vocabulary to describe playing the tensions over a chord progression? For the ii, you can play the dorian (9, 11, 13), V you can play the altered scale (b9, 9, #9, b13, 13) and I you can play the lydian (#11)? You go from a play of no tension, to tension and then release.

    Really enjoy your stuff. (hopefully you don't get tired of hearing that). I'd like to some of the sheet music. Is there any way to do that without signing up for UA-cam premium? I'm assuming that if I sign up and pay, you are NOT getting any of that money. If you are then I'm happy to sign up.

    Hi!
    Terrific stuff!
    I understand that it goes well to imp. in Dorian on a Dm7 chord in a C piece. But the feel of Dorian is mainly in the B, which is an Avoid Note. So it kind of contradicts...
    What's my mixup?
    Thanks!

    • @S24W2
      @S24W2 4 роки тому +1

      I would try not to get too academic regarding "avoid notes ". The problem here is that it creates a sense of "right" and "wrong" etc.. if it sounds good, then play it

    till now basically I played things with the diminished scale (HT) over the V7
    (so principiant was I in all that... in my solipsistic solos :) ).
    Now, I think I'll go to see what is the relationship there... in this licks of yours... in the V7 parts (available tensions)... with the diabolic-great-homogeneus-diminished-scales over the V7's :) ...
    ...that "half tone - whole tone" stuff
    :)

    Thanks this is very helpful but I find all the explaining and talking theory to melt my brain. I'd rather come to these assumptions myself through practice and not talking about it. I don't have a methodical mathmatical brain. Talking theory for me destroys me from wanting to learn. It can make it daunting and off putting.The theory makes it seem as complicated as the music sounds when in fact though, through practice it's not.I prefare as u do say to practice,memorise and most importantly produce your own licks. But I will go through this lesson slowly but I will never understand the theory. Thanks...
