I echo every word Gerd just wrote ! You know you’re my favorite teacher..❤️ I just LOVE to watch you explain things. Still working on some alternate fingering positions on Black Orpheus. I think/hope you would approve. Always loving you. ❤️...Gary from Colorado 🎹
Thank you so much, Sandra, for your enlightening videos! Goes to show it's never to late to learn something new. You and some other online jazz maestros have opened my eyes to so many things, like realizing to harmonize other scales as well, harmonic minor , melodic minor, etc...Please continue!
Another great lesson, the beauty of quartiles is their combination of a modern or outside sound while still being a very comfortable fourth for the ear. Thank You...! B-)
I was working through your video on "There Will Never be Another You", and you used some quartal voicings which has opened up this whole subject for me. Thanks!
Very helpful. This explained clearly and simply a concept that I have rather successfully applied to my piano playing, but hadn’t figured really how to make it work on guitar. Thanks!
Great lunch today! 😉 This is an extremely valuable lesson, Sandra. Contrary to popular opinion, we guitarists comp waaay more than anything else. Quartal harmony makes it fun and interesting and allows the soloist a lot of creative opportunities👍. Of course, I love example three😉, I use a lot of chromatic quartal movement and feel it moves the music along in a nice way. Great job on a great subject! (And nice target video “chapter” times!)
Thanx, Barry! Why do I get hungry, whenever I read one of your comments 😁. Yes, there's a lot more, that can be done with quartal voicings, using chromatics. And there will be another lesson, explaining this. For this lesson, I've tried to keep things simple, though 😊. Glad you enjoy it. Keep swingin' and groivin'!
Hi sandra! could you explain why to use these quartal chords and not just diffrent min7 vocings? please consider make a video on how to start improvising chord melody. The theory and some chord lick examples would be great!
They are avoid notes of the undetlying mode. Like when you're in dorian the 6th is the Avoid Note. So any chord that has the 6th in it is not so good to land on. But impirtant to outline the scale. So play the Avoid Notes, but don't land on them.
That's exactly the thing about avoid notes. They determine the mode, they have a unique sound against the chord. But you usually don't want to land on them or have them ring too long. They clash with guide tones (the 3rd or 7th), in this case the b clashes against the c (the 7th), which is only a semitine apart.
I'm not sure I understand why the 6th is an avoid note in Dorian when it is the one note that really differentiates it from every other minor. I'm listening though. As I play arond with it I might understand what you said.
For beginners : use it (it defines the mode!), but don't labd on it. It clashes with the b7. Miles Davis landed on it all the time. But he knew what he was doing and how to prepare the ear for it.
thanks for this great tutorial Sandra since I am new to the jazz world, I was wondering: more and more teachers are mentioning the quartal harmony being part of modern jazz style does that mean the classics like Davis, coltrane, Mingus etc. didn't use quartal harmony?
Well, quartal harmony startet around the sixties. Miles Davis had the very famous quartal voicing (actually exactly the first one in this video) on "So What". Herbie Hancock used them a lot too.
Guitarversum Sandra Sherman Thanks for clarifying that but then I'm wondering even more, why it's so much referred to in modern jazz, when it has been played for 60 years ha ha ha ha
Greetings from Indonesia, Miss Sandra... I'm your new subscriber... 😊🙏🏻 Thanks for the lesson, but i still learn it... cause i learn guitar bymyself/youtube, i have no teacher/instructur... 😔🙏🏻
Thank you, Rogez, for your donation! That is so kind and really helps! Glad you dig the quartal voicings. They really sound cool. I use the regular minor 11 from the A-string as a standard replacement for a minor 7 chord. Also sometimes with the 2 neighbor quartal vocings, to make a little comping melody a la "So What" (by Miles Davis). Enjoy and keep swingin'! Sandra
@@GuitarversumSandraSherman No problem, that is great Sandra, but won't the music police give you a ticket for substituting that minor 7 chord? lol, jk. Praise God. Thanks for the very helpful tutorial!
It is free :-) You're watching a video that took me a week of concepting and production and you paid zero for watching it. Where's your problem? I charge for the sheet music, which also takes a lot of time. Do you work for free?

Love the way you explain things! Very clear and pleasant to listen to :) Keep doing this great content, it's really helpful!
Thank you! I will continue, as long as I have such nice people, like yourself watching my videos.

You made my day! Absolutely awesome lesson. Can't wait to get home and get some of those voicings under my findgers.
Thank you, James! Make sure to not only learn the voicings, but to understand the concept behind them and include them into your playing.
@@GuitarversumSandraSherman Oh, I sure will ;-)

Well said! 👍

Excellent explanation on a difficult topic.
Thank you, Sir! Trying hard to make it as easy and understandable as possible.
great lesson, explanation well done - even for a simple mind like me, thank you, Sandra
Thank you, Tom!
Fantastic video! Super useful and well explained
Glad you find it helpful 😍
Great easy lesson. Thank you.
Glad it helped you!
Helpful insight into the topic. Thanks Sandra
Glad to be of help 😊

Because these voicings sound more modern, that's all.
nice lesson, thx
I'm using some of this on "Footprints" for comping.
Yes, excellent choice! Hardbop tunes are suited for these kind of harmonies.
THANK YOU SO MUCH -
The pleasure's all mine 😊
So cooool!
Thanks Sandra for the great lesson. Why are some notes avoid notes in quartiles?
They are avoid notes of the undetlying mode. Like when you're in dorian the 6th is the Avoid Note. So any chord that has the 6th in it is not so good to land on. But impirtant to outline the scale. So play the Avoid Notes, but don't land on them.
You’re incredible
Oh, thank you so much! ❤️
Great chords, thanks
Try to weave them into your playing.
Hey Sandra, cool lesson. Have you done a chord melody lesson on killer joe yet?
No, not yet.
cool lesson but why is b the avoid note in d dorian? isnt the b the note that makes d dorian different than a straight d minor ?
That's exactly the thing about avoid notes. They determine the mode, they have a unique sound against the chord. But you usually don't want to land on them or have them ring too long. They clash with guide tones (the 3rd or 7th), in this case the b clashes against the c (the 7th), which is only a semitine apart.
Ok that makes sense, thanks
Excellent !
Thanks! ❤️
woooow I love this kind of sounds, tomorrow you have another coffee .;). all modal escales have their chords quartal?
Glad you like it! ❤️
No, scale make regular voicings, that consist of thirds! But you can make fourths too and that's when you get this modern sound.
Just coming back from your II V I Modern Voicings video. I think I can combine those voicings with these here, right?
You can, but Quartal Voicings sounds best surrounded by other Quartal Voicings.
I'm not sure I understand why the 6th is an avoid note in Dorian when it is the one note that really differentiates it from every other minor. I'm listening though. As I play arond with it I might understand what you said.

No, jazz police gives me an award for this :-))
See my comment in Reply under Gerd’s comment.
I see weight lost :) bravo ! Me to I lost 30 kg for 180 days :)
Congrats! Yes, I lost 18kg so far. A little more to go for me, but not much 😊
So what! pun intended
first
This lesson should be free
It is free :-)
You're watching a video that took me a week of concepting and production and you paid zero for watching it. Where's your problem?
I charge for the sheet music, which also takes a lot of time.
Do you work for free?
Another excellent lesson . Thank you.
Glad you like it and I can be of help. Keep swinging 🎶 🎸
