I appreciate that Keshav. Thank you for your kind words. If you have any musician friends who would also enjoy these videos, I'd really appreciate you sharing it. I can't wait to post my next tutorial. Do you have any future requests?
@@jazztutorial I absolutely will share it. One thing I want to learn a lot is improvisation. What stuff are used, what should be considered when improvising over a chord progression. If I have the idea of what I can use and it what manner that would be really helpful.
@@jazztutorial yes that is true, jazz isn't very popular, but I'm really intrigued by it's complicated sounds and the smooth flow of improvised melodies
@@keshavleitan7800 Got it, more on improv. I can do that. Until now most of my material has been explaining music theorym but going forward I plan to talk more about composition (including improvised composition).
Julian, this video was grounding breaking to a new level for me. It really opened up my eyes and now I can open up my music. Thank you so much . Your a treasure to us all that love Jazz.
This is EXACTLY the kind of content I really want. So often I want to sit at my keyboard and just improvise/jam and I'm not sure exactly what to play. So many ideas here and the free download, awesome! Thanks a lot Julian.
You are such a great teacher that don’t make piano a mystery ! I am playing saxophone and then I can move to jazz piano ! Thank you soooooooooo much ! A very generous guy ! A big salute and respect !💪🏻💪🏻
This kind off stuff makes me going back to put my brain in music theory , my fingers on the piano and my heart into the groove . Man , thx !!!!!!!!!!!!
Thank you so much Tai. I'm so glad you liked this one. Did you see my previous 3-part series on writing Chord Progressions? This lesson was basically the bonus 'part 4' from that.
@@jazztutorial hi Julian, using a small motif (or several motifs) as a building block on creating a solo would be great! Anyhow, thank you for all your efforts in making these videos👍
Please do more compositional videos like this! There is nothing else on youtube that is so clear and understandable for this type of jazz music composing. I am thinking of getting your yearly subscription course. Does your piano course cover these topics of writing melodies and composition? Not just conventional walking baselines but the hype more modern baselines covered in this video? If so then I will be joining your membership today!
Hi Julian! Thank you for sharing this extra content with us from your recent series -- great stuff, as usual. I am wondering, where can I listen to your original music, or see content of you in a live session? Are you on any streaming platforms?
Worked on this for probably two hours today. I don't get some of it in theory (how a Db7 works in a C-minor scale) but it sounds good. And it's a lot of fun. Thanks!
I have a question... Why does he hit the Eb note while playing the rootless Gb7 chord (technically Gb9)? Its not a part of the chord. Does it serve a function? Timestamp: 8:33
@@dylandiaz9243 and also when he played the "Gb7" chord he omitted the fifth degree of the chord right? Was it because it didn't have a big impact on the sound of the chord or because he couldn't fit all the notes in?
@@keshavleitan7800 technically yes, but that would just be for specificity. In jazz you’ll often see a lead sheet label a chord as a G7 for example but you’ll actually hear a player use a G9 or a G13 unless specified otherwise with a b9 or #5 etc., allowing the player to use essentially any note of the diatonic scale as a way to add color, but it ultimately still functions the same 👍🏻
Hi Matt, I choose voicings based on what the melody note is. I like to play a chord voicing that already has the melody note as its top note. So if there's a C major 7 chord, and the melody note is D (the 9th) - I'll choose a voicing that already has the 9th as its top note (like a rootless voicing, C / E G B D). Or if there's a C major 7 chord, and the melody note is G (the 5th) - I'll choose a voicing that already has the 5th as its top note (like C / B D E G for example). And so on. That way you know you're playing a chord voicing which sounds great as it is. There's no doubled notes, no clashes with the melody or anything. As I play through as jazz standard, that's how I voice it. Look at the chord symbol, look at the melody note, choose a voicing. I call this technique 'melody matching'. I cover it fully in my free 'Chord Voicing Guide' which you can download here: jazztutorial.com/sheet-music

I’m so pleased I discovered your channel, Julian. Everything you do is so well put together. Such beautiful music. Thank you and keep it up!
Damn I have to say this channel is very underrated. A lot has been done to make it look nice and very appealing.

P.S. The hardest part is coming up with clear titles that get the attention of jazz fans, opposed to general piano / music students.

Nice!

Good job

Hi Julian! Thank you for sharing this extra content with us from your recent series -- great stuff, as usual. I am wondering, where can I listen to your original music, or see content of you in a live session? Are you on any streaming platforms?
King Dedede’s from the Kirby series theme is a great example of a melody in a minor pentatonic scale. :)
There’s a reason this has no dislikes.
Worked on this for probably two hours today. I don't get some of it in theory (how a Db7 works in a C-minor scale) but it sounds good. And it's a lot of fun. Thanks!
See Julian's video for tritone substitution, then you'll get a good understanding for that. Db7 is the the tritone sub for G7 (V7).
@@osti1711 >headslap< Of course! Thanks.
Where can we find the beat ? Thanks for your videos soo helpful
Did anyone notice Usher "You remind me" melody reference?
Well spotted. I like to pepper in subtle musical quotes. That song's riff is a good demonstration of the pentatonic scale.
Thanks for this! I play Chapman Stick, not piano, but the concepts should still apply.
That's great Bbacher, definitely - the jazz theory can be applied to any instrument.
FINALLY I UNDERSTAND 😭
Why did you add Dbmaj9 around 2:13?
I have a question...
Why does he hit the Eb note while playing the rootless Gb7 chord (technically Gb9)? Its not a part of the chord. Does it serve a function?
Timestamp: 8:33
It’s the 13th of the chord making it a Gb13 chord. It doesn’t have a specific function, it just adds color
@@dylandiaz9243 ohhhh right thanks. But then shouldn't it be displayed as Gb13? I'm sorry I'm asking so many questions I'm pretty new to jazz.
@@dylandiaz9243 and also when he played the "Gb7" chord he omitted the fifth degree of the chord right? Was it because it didn't have a big impact on the sound of the chord or because he couldn't fit all the notes in?

What would be the difference if i wanted to use Maj7 chords?
yet i don't understand it completely
i'm here crying because i know what i want to do with my life now lmao thank you so much
Just thanks but THANKS A LOOT :)
6:30
Thanks so much for your help. Just a quick question: how do you choose your voicings? Like when to play shell/ open etc etc
Hi Matt, I choose voicings based on what the melody note is. I like to play a chord voicing that already has the melody note as its top note.
So if there's a C major 7 chord, and the melody note is D (the 9th) - I'll choose a voicing that already has the 9th as its top note (like a rootless voicing, C / E G B D).
Or if there's a C major 7 chord, and the melody note is G (the 5th) - I'll choose a voicing that already has the 5th as its top note (like C / B D E G for example).
And so on. That way you know you're playing a chord voicing which sounds great as it is. There's no doubled notes, no clashes with the melody or anything.
