Jazz Piano for Beginners: Minor Jazz (Lesson 6)
Вставка
- Опубліковано 8 чер 2024
- In this Jazz Piano online course I will bring you from the level of a complete jazz beginner up to the level of an intermediate/advanced pianist. We will talk about both theory and applications, and cover concepts ranging from chords and scales, to diatonic harmony, voicings, substitutions, soloing, tensions, and much more. Course playlist:
• Jazz Piano for Complet...
In the sixth lesson we will extend the ideas of functional harmony to minor scales. There are lots of minor scales, and we will look at all of them, and figure out which degrees play a tonic role, which play a subdominant, and which play a dominant role (and which don't really play any role at all!). I will then show you how it is actually possible to mix-and-match tonics, subdominants and dominants from all minor scales and still get a good sounding progression! Finally, I will analyze a well known minor jazz standard, Black Orpheus, and show you how functional harmony pretty much explains 95% of its structure. We're already starting to make sense out of jazz harmony using just the relatively simple tools at our disposal!

I still don't believe this is free - you are doing the global community of music a great fever which will outlive our present
Thanks. Your viewership is appreciated. Hope you stick around until the last video - we're just getting started ;)
@@MangoldProject I'm sticking with you until to the end.
I have been extensively looking for an analysis of the diatonic 7th chords based on the three minor scales on youtube and on the net in general. I can say with confidence that this is pretty much the only place where you can find a proper and thorough analysis on this subject. Thank you!
Welcome back.
Extremely thankful to the lord for keeping you safe.
God bless Isreal on its ongoing victory.
My condolence on your loss.
May the lord give strength to heal all in this hour of tribulations.
Excellent video.
It emphasises that there's really no such thing as "a split routine".
The body is a connected unit.
This is amazing! thank you so much. Thanks again for this fantastic material! is helps a lot!!!!!
This is great stuff. As a self taught pianist, I've seen many times where someone will day E is the same chord as C. It great to be able to understand why now. Thank you for the work you do.
Wow this is great stuff. I need to go watch the previous video. I've been working on jazz piano for years and this video made me slap myself upside the head and say, "Of COURSE! But of COURSE!" In a nutshell, 1, 3, 6: tonic, 2, 4: subdominant, 5: dominant. That explains so many songs and chord progressions.
Almost. For example, as this video shows, in some minor scales the 6 functions as a subdominant, so there are some exceptions to keep in mind. But yes, it's not too complicated once you grasp the idea.
Thank you Assaf. Very clear and easy to learn. All the best to our teacher!
This has opened up something new and more important than secondary dominants, and/or tonicisation at least for me. Cannot thank you enough for sharing this. So much pleasure, and interest working through minor standards. Looking forward to seeing what you have to say about tritones. 👍 😊 ☺ 🙏
That's going to be in lesson 9. They're just one of many chord substitutions you might end up using that will be discussed in that lesson.
Good teacher 👏
Thanks again for a superb lesson.
My pleasure. Wait until you see the next!
Amazing great teacher
Thank you. This is a great video. So many possibilities with the minor keys. I need to practice this. Great example too with Black Orpheus
Thank you 🎉

If you think that minor is for self pity, you have many problems in understanding music... and emotions as well....
Please don't take everything so seriously.
Good thing I didn't tell you I think major is for drunk driving!
@@mok6081 indeed! but I can't stand anymore "majoritis"! God bless you!
Will review, but not clear on how to determine on my own, which degrees of scales are tonic, subdom, dom, etc. as it changes a bit with each scale. Did I miss something? But very cool that they are essentially interchangeable.
I give you very clear recipes for which scales are subdoms, doms and tonics.
Thanks. I’m gonna watch again. I’m making slow but steady progress. Thanks again. @@MangoldProject
