Wow.. God bless you, you have impacted, please how do I get in touch with you. I am a saxophonist. I need to understand the scale and chord relationship and how to easily apply them, without having to think about it.
Man i love those lessons. Straight on point without unnecessary talking. Thanks for doing this man! I am a drummer by the way, this is how good your channel is.
9:19 another way for me to remember the altered scale is that it's simply the major scale with all notes flattened except the tonic. => C Db Eb Fb Gb Ab Bb C and I guess that's probably why it's called the "altered" scale
I think this is the best piano tutorial channel so far. The explanation is very easy to understand and it helps a lot when writing jazz songs. Really thankful
This blew my mind. I didn’t realize there were variations on the scales and modes that correspond with the chord types. Thanks so much for making this!
I came here for the masterclass on chord and scale relationships, but I stayed for the masterclass on sweater and shirt relationships! J/K, awesome video!!
Can't begin to describe how useful this is going to be for me. Thank you for posting this, I'll be back every 5mins to double check what I can use over what!!
Just came across your channel and I really love your lessons. I studied Jazz piano in college with a classical background, and this is the one thing I had the most trouble with. I’m really trying to get these concepts down now, and your videos are such a big help! Immediately subscribed :)
Also for the minMaj7 chord you can use harmonic minor if you're really looking for some dark tones, not really a jazz thing, but for other styles it's great
Hey Mr. Noah, great video, thanks. I just subscribed and I was wondering if you might have another video or a PDF on Fingerings for these scales? Would you have a lesson on this? Thanks again.
They way your channel is truly teaching me 🙏🏾✨. I am learning and beginning to see the piano as limitless in terms of soloing, accompanying, comping and understanding harmony along with different Neo-Jazz and Modern jazz techniques, tricks and the theory💪🏾You are definitely my favorite piano UA-camr and trust me that’s a pretty strong list😉💯
Always enjoyed improvising, but I never really did it mindfully, so sometimes it'd sound great other times not so much. The videos on this channel have definitely helped a huge amount with sharpening my awareness/skills, and giving me lots of new music vocabulary to work with.
Immediately subscribed. Great content, extremely useful for a jazz student like me trying to understand harmony. I dig the presentation, and the clean presentation too; this is exactly what I was looking for. Thanks Noah!
you're an excellent teacher and a terrific jazz player. I just wish you'd have a notated copy of the short riffs you play before you start teaching or when you present a chord then you make an awesome riff. What I see are notes on top of each other like a massive chord.
Super cool, Noah. I also find it helpful to think about the context of a chord. So the Lydian Dominant sound is cool as a 5 chord, but is essential if the dominant chord is a b2, b6, or b7, for example. One more scale I find helpful for diminished chords: the seventh mode of Harmonic minor. I had always been taught the whole/half diminished like you present here, but found the sound a little unsatisfying in certain contexts. I've been using the seventh mode of Harmonic Minor and it makes so much sense. So say C - C#o7 - Dm. On the C#o7 I'd use D Harmonic Minor starting on the C#. I know the possibilities are endless, but these two thoughts are actually pretty indispensable to me being able to get through jazz tunes. Love what you're putting out there.
Easier way to wrap your head around Locrian #2 scale for half diminished chords: go up minor third and play that melodic minor scale. So a 2-5-1 in minor keys looks like: melodic minor of minor 3rd up for 2 half dim, melodic minor of half-step up for 5 alt, melodic minor of root for 1 m6/9
I learned about Locrian #2! Cool sound -- however I'm kind of shocked to not see any harmonic minor, double harmonic or blues here. Probably my three most used sounds as a soloist!! Don't overlook these beginner soloists -- ESPECIALLY the blues, which is completely crucial.
These are all the dominant possibilities I know and the scales you might play over/use to harmonize: C13 - Mixolydian C13#11 - Lydian Dominant C7alt. - Altered C7b9#9b13 - 3rd mode of harmonic major C7#9b9 - half whole C7#5 - Whole Tone C7sus4 - Mixolydian C7sus4b9 - 2nd mode of melodic minor C7sus4b9add3 - 5th mode of harmonic major
This is a great video. Do you have any on how to practice these scales effectively? This is a lot of information, and it's almost too much to take in as a jazz novice.
This is exactly the sort of thing that I've been looking for, well, except I don't really do jazz haha, but surprisingly a lot of this translates pretty well
Ni Noah! I just found your channel and it's really helpful. Thank you so much! Is this the common approach for jazz musicians in choosing harmony when playing? Doing it per chord change. It seems like the result is that the scale/harmony of the song will change in every chord, in a kind of random, non deliberate, way. Is this in part what creates the complex feelings of jazz music? Another way of composing music would be to make deliberate scale/harmony changes with the circle of fifths in mind, adding or removing tension (going up/down the circle) in smaller or larger jumps to create a sense of movement. I thought this was the way jazz musicians were selecting their harmonies as well. But the method in this lesson seems more chaotic. The harmonic shifts this creates in the circle of fifths are not thought out and thus feel a bit random. And... it really sounds so cool. Maybe I should stop thinking in circles. I'm struggling to make this thought/question clear. Sorry about that.
Another Incredible Video! Noah your deep knowledge of the jazz language and your ability to express these concepts in such and clear, engaging and musical way is very special.
Thanks for the class Noah, the more I watch and study your material the more I realize jazz is all about knowing what goes with what. Jazz Is a complex world but not difficult one if you know how to "hack the piano" and doing everything very simple and effective. I will continue studying all of this!! and also with week 3-4, it starts to get complicated haha
You're welcome, Alejandro! Yeah man, you're absolutely right. The more you learn those connections, the easier and more clear everything becomes. Keep up the great work!

Noah and Open Studio are the two best jazz resources I've found
Noah hits it out of the park again. Such clarity on such an already complex topic.
His teaching technique is legendary!!
Thanks Vince!

8:29 I love the Lydian Dominant scale... it has this weird, ethereal quality... hard to put into words.
It's funny how sometimes the most obvious thing is so underexplored. Great video!

This is incredible content!!!
Well done.
Sooo helpful!! Many thanks to you sir.
Also, what is the program you use to visualize the staff?
Hi, Noah, and thanks for the explanation of the scales, but I don't find any pdf scale exercises on your page. Would like to have them.
🤗🙏
Super cool, Noah. I also find it helpful to think about the context of a chord. So the Lydian Dominant sound is cool as a 5 chord, but is essential if the dominant chord is a b2, b6, or b7, for example.

I had always been taught the whole/half diminished like you present here, but found the sound a little unsatisfying in certain contexts. I've been using the seventh mode of Harmonic Minor and it makes so much sense. So say C - C#o7 - Dm. On the C#o7 I'd use D Harmonic Minor starting on the C#. I know the possibilities are endless, but these two thoughts are actually pretty indispensable to me being able to get through jazz tunes. Love what you're putting out there.
Easier way to wrap your head around Locrian #2 scale for half diminished chords: go up minor third and play that melodic minor scale. So a 2-5-1 in minor keys looks like: melodic minor of minor 3rd up for 2 half dim, melodic minor of half-step up for 5 alt, melodic minor of root for 1 m6/9
Locrian sharp 2 a.k.a melodic minor mentioned earlier. Therefore, on Cm7b5 play Eb melodic minor.
Peace and much respect Noah!!
Hey, thanks and right back at you!
I learned about Locrian #2! Cool sound -- however I'm kind of shocked to not see any harmonic minor, double harmonic or blues here. Probably my three most used sounds as a soloist!! Don't overlook these beginner soloists -- ESPECIALLY the blues, which is completely crucial.
Locrian #2 doesn't make any sense. Call it b3 melodic minor 13:05
Straight to what makes it happen. Great Teaching!
Thanks, Clydie! Glad you enjoyed it.
Me gustaría que puedas hacer algunas clases de piano en español. Gracias por compartir tus conocimientos. ..Saludos desde Buenos Aires . Argentina
Much needed, great info!!
Thanks, Kevin, glad it was helpful!
You are AMAZING!🔥🔥🔥
Really insightful video, thank you!
Incredible video
Thanks appreciate it :)
Fantastic the min 6:25 sound 😍
These are all the dominant possibilities I know and the scales you might play over/use to harmonize:
C13 - Mixolydian
C13#11 - Lydian Dominant
C7alt. - Altered
C7b9#9b13 - 3rd mode of harmonic major
C7#9b9 - half whole
C7#5 - Whole Tone
C7sus4 - Mixolydian
C7sus4b9 - 2nd mode of melodic minor
C7sus4b9add3 - 5th mode of harmonic major
Grandioso video, excelente aporte sigue así.

You could use a blues scale for dominate 7th or min 7th
