Introduction to MIXOLYDIAN scale - and beyond...
Вставка
- Опубліковано 30 вер 2024
- We start up easy discovering the Mixolydian characteristics. Then we create an expanded left hand chord and we improvise a solo with the right hand. Then we discuss the so called "avoid" note and we find out that the "avoid" note is not so dangerous after all. Finally we make another thrilling jazz scale that is almost like the Mixolydian...
We start up very easy and we put on more stuff as we go along...

Your teaching is clear-like-water, even for non english speakers.
Thanks a lot!
I agree. Often theory lessons can busy the mind. But the way Oliver teaches is zen-like. It actually simplifies things, empties the mind in its clarity. I find it relaxing. That's a sign of great teacher.
indeed
I can feel the passion that you have with your explanations, it makes me smile.
HAHA - GREAT :) :) :)
@@NewJazz this is very serious. Ive had many teachers but you explain so much clearer. You make us understanf music and its execution. Thank you so much and thanks for all musicians and youtubers from your country
Nobody ever explained modes to me the way you do and now I know what they are and how to use them to make music and improvisation. Thanks, for your genius, truth and unsurpassed kindness.
This is the most elegantly clear explanation of how to form Mixolydian chords I have ever seen. You are unlocking chord theory after many years for this dyslexic struggler. There are many great players, but so few truly great teachers, thank you Oliver.
Best music education creator out there, gets a like from me! Hope your generosity and pure love for music is rewarded properly
Thank you very much
You are my piano teacher that God sent.
Everything God has given to humans
All for each other
This world can live by sharing and love.
May God bless you
The Lydian dominant scale put this lesson over the top with me. I'm heading to the piano right now!
Your videos are excellent. You teach clearly and gradualy. You are committed and worried about the understanting. And I haven't even mentioned how you dominate the subject.
I would like to know if it is possible for you to please post a video teaching how to schematicaly and gradually practice and learn how to play chords rithmically while improvising at the same time in jazz and blues music. (Sorry for bothering you asking things)
Hi and thanks so much :) :) :) You surely encourage me to make more music lessons... And yes - we should also have something about left hand chords. It will not be the next few videos though. But thanks for asking - it is an important subject - I will remember. I hope you have patience with me ;) The best regards Oliver
This is Dr. Alfonso from Puerto Rico, USA. All my respects for you effort and passion to teach us how to manage these fascinating Jazz world. I am a melodic metal guitarist, however, because of you I play piano in jazz style. I am really having fun doing so far. Also improve the way how I play my acoustics guitar in that style. YOU ARE AN AMAZING MUSICIAN AND A GREAT PROFESSOR. ALL MY REGARD.
Truly the best jazz classes on the web! The way things are explained is clear and straightforward, without letting you doubt how to understand what has been demonstrated. NewJazz videos make you smarter for sure! Fantastic work, full of meaning and pedagogy.
Hi Oliver, is nice to come back to one of the first Videos i saw. I learned that the Avoid-Note relates to a Cadence Situation. I always used it a lot. And, now i see all the Connections between your other Vids espacielly the "3 small Licks.." Vid. I will try to transfer it to the Guitar too. One more Time THANKS a lot my Friend!
This Is just incredible amazing! I can almost feel I can jazz... And that's a lot for me. Thank you so much
I love your teaching Sir........very very very informative and educative. Thanks Sir.
Thank you so much sir... Your teaching is really good and easy to understand...
Amazing! I remember Prince referring to this scale in one of his interviews
When he was talking about Beyonce :D
When & where was that prince s interview please ??
What can one say? ...this is just the best youtube channel! So glad I found it. Thx!!
A beauty of lesson... usually "avoid" things in life are often so beautiful as well
I love these simple lessons of tonal exploration outside the context of a "song"--its the best way to learn theory. This lesson is no exception. Thanks.
This is the BEST course for understanding what jazz is. Thank you so much for that.
Thank you Oliver you are an EXCELLENT instructor.
Thank you for this amazing tutorial - I love it! It's great fun to improvise using these hand grips :)
You are a great teacher, Mr, Prehn, one of the very best. I appreciate all the preparation you put in for each of your terrific videos. Your passion and love for playing and teaching shows. Your subtle and obvious sense of humor is classic in my opinion. You have a good heart, Oliver. I'm so glad I am able to watch all your videos. I have learned so much from you in such a short time. All the best to you OP. Thank you. I will make more donations, I promise. Your time is valuable to your many students and fans. to say I am learning Jazz Piano from Oliver Prehn is a high for me.
Hi and thanks a lot. You don't have to donate anything - a really nice message like yours is all the support I need :) :) :) Warm regards Oliver
oliver your voice is very warm... i love hear you speaking and explain jazz!
I like the way you are breaking it down for a begginer like me kind of understanding it. I appreciate

Monsieur Oliver , hundred’s of good teachers over there, some are better than others.
You, are the best of the best ones..musicians, teacher with all your soul and goodwill

Best style on The Tube Mister Oliver. Sending over some lettuce as token of thanks. Good sounds.
I'm in the KZN province in the RSA, I've never felt as accommodated as one of your students yet never met you even on Skype or what,but your Godly patience in making sure we do get the picture on your lectures or teachings if I may say,it is so not from this planet,thank you so much Mr Oliver Prehn it's even worse to me as a starting not even moderate,God bless you
As expected of mr.oliver awesome tutorials
Thank you for a wonderful lesson. Where are you located and is Jazz popular there? Unfortunately where I live it is not doing well. I'm hoping for an uprising lol. Some people don't even know what it is and they mis-bill R&B music as "jazz" in some venues. I personally met an establishment manager who didn't know there was a difference.
Thanks :) I'm from Denmark. I don't think that Jazz is particular popular here either.
For me Jazz is many things... primarily "improvised" Music. Improvised musik is spontaneous, immediate and unpredictable. That's what I like about Jazz. Music with these properties - Jazz Music - has eternal life and will always survive the different eras of music styles. So don't listen to the "established manager" - make your own music, your own spontaneous sound - show people what Music is! The best regards Oliver
Oliver! You are a MONSTER INSTRUCTOR! Muchas Gracias Amigo!
Great video. Well explained, visual and so enjoyable. Thank you.
Can't wait to see your approach on 12 bar blues! Thank you Oliver.
Mais uma vez, muito obrigado por suas explicações. Aprendo muito com elas. Curitiba, Paraná - Brasil
Great Lesson man.
Jazz is an expression of personal achievement. It is intellectual and spiritual athleticism combined with grace of perception. What a jazz musician finds is a form so deep and inclusive that it sucks into itself all the world’s music and sublimates these musics into an idiom that blends blues and improvisation. A practitioner of jazz is much like a yogi or monk who undertakes a life of contemplation. When musicians arrive together to make music they bring their valise of masteries, their real and fake books, their tools and tuners. Nowadays we have no guides except jazz musicians. The world may not know this. But WE do.
great lesson! I hope to see how to practice modes against a bunch of chords like when a guitar player improvises modes against different riffs. Thank you for your channel, I guess one of the best which exposes the theory in a very clear and understandable way
You're a genius! A brilliant teacher sir! I'm following your lessons.
Thank you so much for your teaching - very easy to follow and with an inspiring outcome :)
Guitarist here, I really like the way your lessons are so well organized, neat&clean, easy to understand.
I've seen this things explained in many ways by many people but the way you do it opens up a better view in my mind for organizing scales and chords on the guitar keyboard too
Keep up the nice work your doing for us :)
GREAT TO HEAR AND THANKS!!!!
Your lessons are more than appreciated ! Many thanks for your great job Oliver
Absolutely perfect explain. Now I understand it better. Your channel is fantastic.💛👍🥰
This video is gold! Thank you! You do master how to teach
"The Avoid Note" so cool you have a great way of getting your point across. Love it ! 😀
super teaching, content, pace and clarity, for all musicians; bravo
"just fool around with your right hand"
*the right hand is making beautiful music*
Really beauriful. I love your simple way of explaining, Mr. Prehn.
All of your great work seems to have one Context. Thats one of the Points your Vids seperates from the most youtubers!
If you don't know how to pronounce a word, say it loudly.
If you make a mistake, repeat it.
Tfw you include the tritone to reduce dissonance??
Brilliant input - I really haven't thought about that. I guess that you don't hear the tritone interval as a harsh dissonant because the #4 step functions as a upper structure note (#11) far above the bass note - so we actually have a tritone plus at least one octave... best regards Oliver
Thank you Oliver, for making another top notch video !
You are so good
I have learnt a great deal from your excellent video. Thank you very much.
Dear Mr Prehn, this is very awesome. Thanks so much.
So Amazing sound. I love this way. Thanks Master.
I love you!!!!
Your lessons are so clear! Thank for sharing! Could you make a video about how to play jazz rhythms? I can improvise fine but it doesn’t sound very jazzy.
Yes, we will come to that, and thanks for reminding me. It will not be the next few videos though, but we will get to the rhythm later on - I hope you have patience with me... best regards Oliver
Mixolydian scale and improvisation sound as in Hindustani classical music..creates a spiritualistic mood .
YES I'VE BEEN WAITING FOR ANOTHER LESSON, THANK YOU SO MUCH
Thank you so much for the wonderful master class.
AMAZING !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
There is no such thing as "avoid note" * .
"Avoid note" creates dissonance,dissonance means emotions.
Funny that so-called "avoid note" it is also a characteristic note :)
- Characteristic degrees of c ionian scale?
- f and b.
- What is the "avoid note" for c ionian?
- F
- So,how to get a characteristic ionian mood?
- By avoiding this mood.
- Exelent!Now You are a Ultra Jazzman :D
* just like "diabolus in musica",medieval superstition.
I totally agree. I don't know who invented this term "avoid note". But it is difficult to see the point in avoiding a "characteristic" note as you say. And why should we not be allowed to play a dissonance? No dissonances = no consonances = no Music...
Hi again :)
in general mixolydian scale is considered as "jazz scale"
but it's not very jazzy, this mixo. language does not sound in jazz dialect :)

G Gb F E D C B A

"Bebop scales have 8 notes instead of the usual 7.
Having 8 notes means that the important notes of the scale fall ON the beat
and the passing notes will fall OFF the beat".
PS. how many dominant scales exist/on how many different ways
we can play for G7 chord?
This video was very helpful for me, thank you! I am jazz-beginner and at the beginning there is a lot to learn and not always easy to understand and to remember
Good luck with your progress in Music :)
Mann i never look at that scale like that because the notes are very odd ear sounding to me...
Master!
Your tutorials are always eye-opening. 👀✨
This is so intuitive and enjoyable to practice with you.
hello, you are a great teacher and I learn a lot of your lessons. I play piano since a few years ago but now I want to learn jazz-piano but I am tired to find one video here and other and one video there. and I need your help to guide me to find the correct order of learning jazz from zero, I want to know if you could sell me a course that helps me or show me what concept is first and what concept is next in jazz learning
Hi and thanks a lot. I'm sorry I have not written a complete course - I just need more time - are you familiar with that feeling? Well, but you have a complete overview of my lessons at www.newjazz.dk
Best regards Oliver
With your fingers ANY note sounds great. Me not quite so much
Many thanks to you,,,,, Useful ,Great
Top video ... as expected by now :)
My name is Armin Sommer btw and this is another -- thank you -- for a new great NewJazz lesson :-))
Thanks a lot Armin - you know the course of action - lol :)
For the c myxolydian, can I play the the combined scale of the c major pentatonic, g minor pentatonic, and the d minor pentatonic?
YES!!!
woww very enlightening....thank you
Thank You really Match Professeur
Thank you so many about your video! :)

Danish?
Interesting video btw. Any thoughts on the best chords to use in the Mixolydian scale?
Like the IV - V - I or II - V - I, in much music.
Yes, Danish :) The Mixolydian scale is used for 7th chords, because the 7th chord fits the scale. For example the C Mixolydian contains the C7 chord.
In the next lesson we'll learn much more about scales, and we'll also learn when to use the scales (on what chords). I think the lesson will be done and uploaded approximately mid next week... Best regards from Oliver
That reflection about the avoid note is a very deep reflection about life.
HAHA - Yes, you are right about that!!!
Thank you 🙏🏻 Great lesson
Hi Oliver! I hadn’t watched this video until now, thinking i already knew “plenty” about what the mixolydian scale is. But I’m so glad i watched it! Great application of the dominant left hand “grip 2b” chord, and i would not have thought of trying a “lydian dominant” scale anytime soon. Thanks again, good sir.
But i think what matters most is how beautiful it sounds…
I don't get why they call it the avoid note when playing 3,11, while in similar circumstances when we play 9,b3 or 5,b6 or 6,b7 we find this same structure very colourful. In open voicing the 3,11 is very satisfaying to me!
I totally agree! :)
Great lesson! i love the avoid note!
Thanks for the THRILL !
What a great lesson. Thanks!!
