Really great video. I have been watching music theory videos on UA-cam for years and nobody has even come close to providing the true versatility of the m7b5 chord as you have. Great job and thank you !!
Thanks for opening this Secrets Box, explain as no one else can do. Some are saying that Nobody is Pefekt but you and your way to explain Music ... you are !!! Thank you so much !
Cool video. Its worth noting thay the tritone is what creates the gravity in major and ultimately defines th4 parent scale and thats why it works. This is ultimately the tension of a superinposed V>I, just off the 3 of V
I just want to say thank you very much for this video. I have been practicing min7b5 scales for a while but I've been struggling to find a way to apply them during improv. Your video really gave me a great understanding for the harmonic/modal context to apply this dissonant sounding scale in a way that really works and harmonizes well within a piece. Now I'm throwing min7b5 to my improvs in a thoughtful way and it's really adding some nice spice and flavor. I've been using your E minor gypsy jazz backing track and when play an F#minb7 in there I'm sounding like a poor mans Django. Thx again !
YES!!!! I've been doing this for years but didn't know why it worked so well. Now it makes sense. Also, once you realize that the pentatonic minor scale is a min7 arpeggio, then it's easy to adjust and find the m7b5 arpeggio all over the neck.
@vodoo57alessio18 That is true. Although I would be careful with arpeggios that contain the avoid note F (4th degree in major). And the power of the m7b5 arpeggio is that it always contains the characteristic note of the mode and it has a lot of character from itself since it is a (half) diminished chord.
Excellent stuff and, as usual, a remarkably lovely explanation. Just a small detail at 6:15, when a "double diminished 7th degree" is mentioned. It should actually be a "double flat seventh degree", which is a diminished 7th [interval from the tonic], because a "flat seventh degree" would be a minor 7th.
I know this lesson is for 'superimposing' but the Half Diminished is at home in the Locrian mode, which is a big deal. lol. Its useful for outside jazz playing, which most of the students here cant relate...😨
Beautifully done video, great explanation. Thank you! But in my opinion, it doesn't always sound good..... For example, Bø over Am (aeo) or over Em (phr). There is another great use of Bm7b5, and that is Db7alt.
Sure! The half diminished chord can be used in many great ways. Sometimes it's hard and it takes a while to get the sound right, like with the altered scale for instance. Some options will sound better than other with no doubt.
Hello from Spain. About play in live with fractal or other modeler, and frfr, in your case with laney 112. What is your opinion to get the best sound the presets with delays, reverbs, amp and can blocks, etc Or do you play live in mono??. Your advice please. I always play with amp and now i start to play digital. THANKS

Best channel on youtube. So much here and so well done. Thanks!

Thank you! But also a secret... I'm far from perfect :)
I second this

"And here is a simple musical example..." Love it 🙂
FINALLY somebody that explains modes correctly.. NOBODY on UA-cam does.
brilliant info - many thanks
Fantastic channel!
This is a good explanation. Modes can be confusing, but this cleared up a lot of the confusion. Thank you.
Your explanation made things easy! Thank you!! Great playing, by the way!
Thanks!
I agree with all the comments.. what a great way of explaining music theory..!
awesome lesson !!
Great clip. I’ve been using F Lydian to E7 instead of Bm7b5 into Am but I didn’t know about the characteristic note pattern. Thks
your tutorials are really high quality level... cheers!
Thank you!

Thanks. Very useful! A nice way to get out of the pentatonic.
Thanks, great music theory videos!
Thank you.
Really helpful theory video !!
Спасибо!
really big video !!!! Thanks a lot!
Beautiful, thanks!
Awesome!
Top!
Cooool!!!! THX!!
since i watched your modes lessons im in love with music theory
This works with each arp of each chord of the major scale.
In C major you can play a Dminor7 arp, a E minor7 arp, a F major 7 arp, a G7 arp....etc

Indeed. I made a mistake there....

Its worth metioning the dominant 7th of every mode does the same thing with all the modal trigger notes.
Thanks
Thank you Tim!!. I appreciate this!

This video is f.. awesome. like "neo" in the matrix. i see all
Then you took the red pill.... :)
cool。。。
Is there an e-book on this topic ?
7:38 itty bitty mistake
Orange square at the 4th instead of the minor 6th.
🤯
Did C min isn't C D D# F G A B C
??
That looks like C Melodic minor.
D# should be Eb though.
C Minor is C aeolian.
12b345b6b7
C D Eb F G Ab Bb C
Can you please make a video on chord synonyms and chord substitutions pleaseeeee
