    1. I > VI (or vi) > ii > V7
    2. I > V7/4 > IV > iv > I
    3. IV > b5 dim7 > I
    4. III (or iii) > VI (or vi) > II (or ii) > V7
    On the last one, the iii and I chord are functionally interchangeable. I’m just listing these for folks who already know theory. However, by all means watch this vid even if you know these things. It’s great instruction.

However, I'm really curious to hear your take on ideas around soloing concepts for minor or major 7th chords. For instance, how do we stay interesting over 4-8 bars of a minor 7th chord? Anyway, best jazz channel around! Thanks a million for sharing your knowledge!

    I transcribed Peter Martin's solo , and as impressive as it is at his speed, slowed down it's not as complicated as it sounds. Its just the bebop vocabulary that Peter and Adam (and so many others) teach in their videos-- scales, arpeggios, enclosures, approaches, and sequences. This takes nothing away from Martin's stunning performance!

    First..great break down. A practice I use is to read both F clef and G clef in order. Ignoring the Bb6. All kinds of clues in that ..the Bb7 has a b7 and a semitone or half tone down is G. Bb6 (Bb D G) has no b7 in it. That would make it a Bb13..A little muddy.
    better in the upper extensions. Just my thoughts.

    I noticed a few years ago ( 50+ years 🎸 and 🎹), that going down a minor third from any major Root note is the same as going up a six. Eg C D E F GA..... Most of us..know
    know that that the A minor is the relative minor. Easier to just know the note down a min third. (A) using the notes of parent scale C. C B A descending. This method requires knowing all 12 major keys. I say those every day..
    The day I made up my mind to learn all 12 major keys..I became a better musician..It helps in numerous ways..reading sheet music..knowing what notes to play..etc.

  • @PIANOSTYLE100
    @PIANOSTYLE100 2 роки тому +1

    just noticed the Bb6 is a Bb6add 9. Is that correct? Bb7 with an Ab and a G would be a dominant 13.
    Bb13. I could Google it, but you may have a fresh angle on it. No hurry.

    Hi Adam, you know how the I if it's dominant, becomes the V of the IV, like C7 is the V of FMaj7, so os the I I7 IV sort of looking for that sound where you go from say CMaj7 as being your tonal center, to going C7 such that you make F your tonal center after?
