    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.

    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!

  • @PIANOSTYLE100
    @PIANOSTYLE100 3 роки тому

    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.

    And incidentally I think you do a lot better from my perspective with you alone in the studio. Because you do less talkin and teach more thoroughly. . Thus, it's more like a competition between two musicians and it just doesn't quite get it for me..

    Thanks for truly great lessons, I've learned tons of stuff, mainly on the topic of chord substitutions/soloing/diminished scale on dominant chords. 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!

      The b9 is in reference to the chord quality (not the B natural note): F7b9. That 4 note phrase over the F7b9 chord is taken from the b9 scale (half-whole) BUT none of the notes in that phrase are actually the b9 (which, in this case would be Gb). I think you're confused because you're under the impression he was calling the B natural a b9. He's not, the b9 is only in reference to the chord quality.
