    This is such a cool jazz lick! You can play it over any minor chord and it has a very jazzy sound. It uses chromatic runs, approach patterns, arpeggios and triplets. I take you through it bit by bit and also show you the notation.
    I advise transposing it to several keys in order to internalize it so you can use it in your own playing. I go through it in C minor, G minor and D minor - but you should continue round the circle of fifths and work it out in all 12 keys!

    • @PIANOSTYLE100

      Here is a lick. That I accidentally found about a year ago. It helps with dexterity and minor 3rds..useful in diminished chords. Also great way to hear what min 3rds sound like... Here it is.
      I started doing a up down exercise at the piano. It is chromatic
      Minor 3rds. It felt very awkward at first. I will describe it shortly.
      The advantage was amazing. I can tell immediately what the Minor 3rds are. I usually just use my right hand. I know now the minor thirds are immediately. Here is the exercise ascending.. Fingers on R hand are 1 2 3 4 5. Thumb being 1. 2 is I index..3 is middle r.. .4 is ring. 5 is pinky.
      C to Eb 1,3 Db to E 2,4 D to F 1,3 Eb to Gb 2,4 E to G 1,3
      F to Ab 1,3 F# to Ab 2 ,4 G to Bb 1,3 Ab to B 2,4 A to C 1,3
      B to D 2,4. This is only the ascending version.. Took awhile to write this out. Pianostyle100.

  • @PIANOSTYLE100
    @PIANOSTYLE100 3 роки тому +1

    I just did an enclosure at the end. F E Eb (Db D F G Bb) Just part of the Lester Flatt bluegrass run..in parentheses above. He did it in G.. It came from the E minor blues scale. But in this case..I heard it and the Db is the b3 of Bb..So from the Db went to D F G Bb. Amazing how blues,and jazz fit
    into bluegrass and vice versa.
    At the end I played a rootless Bb6..in the right hand (D F G Bb)
    the just moved the D and F and kept the and Bb. This chord as you know has got a lot of names Db dim 7...all min3s. I hit it twice then
    back to the Bb6. Did some improv there. Im sure you know how that all sounds.

    This is very clear.. I'm taking this to practice tomorrow. You deserve 100 thousand viewers at least..I will try to share this video. I watched as you described each step of the lick. it was spot on. I thought that's a gminor7. That's what you said. Is this from any song? I've noticed that it's a very common trait of jazz artist like Herbie Hancock to play the minor 7 arpeggios against a related chord.

    • @Piano_Pig
      @Piano_Pig  7 років тому +11

      Thanks! No it's not from any particular song, just a very commonly used chord meaning you can use this lick in SO many different places! Yes you are spot on, the use of arpeggios in jazz in an extremely common trait... because it sounds so damn good!

    Great lick. My only complaint is about the accidentals in your sheet. Do you not know what a sharp is? If it is an approach note from half step below - it cant be the same note with a flat... it should be a step below with a sharp. So not a Gb-Gnt, but F#-G. The same goes for other keys: C#-D(not Db-Dnat) etc

    another degree.

    • @Piano_Pig
      @Piano_Pig  6 років тому +1

      It should do since the lick is built primarily from chord tones, therefore as long as there is a Cm7 playing it should fit. You will have to experiment and find out though as I'm sure it would be possible to come up with a scenario where it doesn't work!
