Thank you for this video. I noticed this close relationship myself just a few days ago, while I was playing guitar. What a nice coincidence. What they say usually is that the altered scale starts like the diminished scale and ends like the whole tone scale. Now I am looking at this from another perspective: The diminished scale starts like the altered scale and ends like the lydian b7 scale. This makes it much easier for me to handle the diminished scale. Thanks again! One advice for you guitar players: You can see this very clearly by playing these scales up and down on just one string.
Mr Tony thank you for this excellent jazz piano tutorial, just like in your other tutorial videos after downloading it i have to replay the video many times just to listen closely to every word of what you are saying. to pluck all those nuggets of jazz wisdom what applicable scales to improvise on a particular chord, thank you so much for sharing us all of your knowledge and your talent. You are a professional jazz pianist and your method of teaching how to improvise jazz piano is pure genius!
You're the best for me! Thanks so much. I have a classical background and I've made a great transition but YOU fill in the blanks for me. I used to play jazz entirely by ear but I know much more of the science now and I owe that knowledge to you. For instance, modes were nothing but historical but now I see there's a real use for knowing them. Thanks!
I've watched once.. not at the piano tho.. now I can't wait to learn the basic Green Dolphin street chords and melody, then I'm going to sit at the piano with this video. Thank you, Tony, for this accessible information.
There is the diminished scale and th3 WHOLE TONE SCALE. Altered uses diminished in lower half and whole tone in top half, lydian does the opposite. An interesting result is when you use say the altered scale (full of "dark" or "minor" intervals from the root) and then use tritone substitution you get the lydian dominant (full of "bright" or "major" intervals from the root) when you use the same scale notes. All very interesting. Thanks for the video!
Yes!! The Diminished plus the whole tone ... or vice versa...excellent way to think of the altered (sometimes called the diminished - whole tone scale) and the lyd. dom.
Mosh seems to be into jazz as well. As a musiciana and just starting out as a python programmer, buidling solo's out of licks/patterns that I've memorized over time isn't actually that different from combining functions and methods in different structures. Although I must say that programming is more difficult so far :P
Thanks for another great video Tony! I always watch your videos as I'm doing my day job, all the while itching to try out the new things I learn in the video after the day is done haha! You're an inspiration.
To be fair, you should at least mention that the altered and Lydian Dominant are just modes of the melodic minor separated by a tritone. Sometimes it’s useful to think about it that way too, right? So G Lydian Dominant is like C# altered (coming from d melodic minor) and G altered is like C# Lydian Dominant (coming from Ab melodic minor).
@@unknownkingdom I did and more importantly I have been playing these scales. Lydian dominant = 4th mode, alerted = 7th mode, 4th & 7th modes = a tritone apart. Is it really this hard to say "I'm wrong"?
Hey Tony---- "The best lines always come from the blues". I agree with you 100%, and I hear the blues somewhere in all the great masters of jazz improvisation. Oscar Peterson is certainly a prime example, in my opinion. Perhaps you could do an Oscar lesson someday. PS---- Oscar would probably agree with you that all other piano players are amateurs compared to Art Tatum.
Thank you Maestro Winston, awesome insights! Cool way of also playing your blues scale, could you explain your blues scale steps here, in say...Eb ? Thx again, great inspiration!
Surprised you're into Tatum as he's, well, prebop. But, of course, a brilliant strider with great runs. A young Oscar Peterson said he sounded like two of the best pianists he'd ever heard.
The "blues scale" of the corresponding V chord I assume?...i.e. G blues over G7? ...previously I saw you substitute an F blues scale over a D7 altered chord.
Let me rephrase that. The three most important scales to use over a dominant 7th chord which is the most important chord in jazz. Somehow, that title seems a little bit too long. Can you give me a better title that would work better with the UA-cam algorithms and generate more views?
This is python programming with mosh
i was looking for a reply like this
So great ! Thanks so much Tony !
Thank you Mr Winston for demystifying things like this
right, in a so quiet and relaxing way
thanks for all your teachings and explanations
Thanks! I always feel like I need to jump to the piano immediately after watching any of your videos just to try out what you just did.

感谢tony老师，我是一个吉他手，看了你的视频学到好多东西！！感谢

thank you sir, your explanation is really useful!!
Tony Is a Great teacher,
Oh nice, I didn't notice that connection at all between those three scales until now!
Really amazing
Thank you very much Sir.
You are most welcome
thank you very much, regards from Argentina
I just discovered your channel and I love it! Greetings from Italy!🇮🇹

Not true

Thanks, Tony! Great demonstration and tips!!! Subbed!!!!!
Can you make lessons about how to compose jazz music.
Stay healthy and thank you so much
I wish I knew - it is a great idea - i will explore...
THANKS!
Great video!!
Thanks!
Great video, thank you so much!
I just wanna say you are speaking alien to me but I love to hear you play and try to think about what I can learn on piano.
You ain't alone. Basically me too.
Great help thanks 😊
Thanx, Maestro 🌹🌹🌹
Thanks
Good stuff!!

I've made some Artificial Intelligence animation videos of Art Tatum and Oscar, might wanna check them out!
Buenisimo !!!!
Thanks for your video! Great lesson! Just curious, what microphone are you using there? Don't recognize it.

You forgot the Whole Tone Scale
Love this guy , Tony , but his voice needs to be louder
I got here from python
Same.
Same 😭
Are you in Alaska? I see the T shirt. Need teacher in Alaska
Ahh yes, python
Seriously, the 3 most important jazz scales? Surely there is a better way to title you videos while putting food on the table.
