    Great lesson! I used to practice 7ths and 3ds, but I never thought of the extensions. Time to practice those, besides the 9ths sound so good to me!

    Fine practice technique for any tune - invites some adventurous improvisation and "side-slipping" between various guide tone lines (eg: call and response) - many thanks!

    • @mDecksMusic
      @mDecksMusic  Рік тому

      Yes! But that implies you're targeting major. We talk a lot about the natural 9 on m7b5 chords, and how it makes a great sound when we use the bVII major triad upper structure over a m7b5.

    I also have a basic question.. as a jazz piano beginner(I'm originally a classical piano player) to perform infront of small audience should I still aim to play the rootless chords/these essential target notes all by memory or am I allowed as a beginner to somehow write them down somewhere..?

    hey, folks, thanks and pardon my ignorance, but why couldn't you use a 2M on the Em7 and a #11 on the A7b9 and G7? thanks

    • @mDecksMusic
      @mDecksMusic  3 місяці тому +1

      You could, but if you look at the target chord for Em to A7b9 is Dm so the F natural and the E natural are better options. The target notes we're using are the "most inside" targets.

    @BlackG3 2 роки тому +1

    Maybe im asking a silly question but when you play the guide tone lines, the sequence starting with 3rds in the first dm7- G7-CM7 is 3-7-3-7 and so on but then in the second dm7 switch to 7-3-7-3 etc. and when the tone lines start with 7ths is 7-3-7-3 etc and once again in the second dm7 switch to 3-7-3-7 . That's the way the exercise suposed to be?. When repeated multiple times, we switch again?

    • @mDecksMusic
      @mDecksMusic  2 роки тому

      Yes. Once you've chosen a starting point the rest is pretty much set. But you can add some skips every now and then if you want.

    You said left hand did you mean right hand?

    • @mDecksMusic
      @mDecksMusic  2 роки тому +1

      I meant left hand. If you just play the two guide tones on the left hand you get the essence of the chord. Then you can improvise on the right hand. (yes, we didn't explain that very well)

    I think your videos are really great, but it's always the same, you have a high level, doyou have something basic to analyze songs, you speak as a matter of course of the five of this or the b. seven of that I do not understand yet, because I have not studied music and I have the feeling that you always assume a lot of knowledge.
    Many greetings

      maybe you should stop scrolling for free contents on UTUB and buy yourself a full course so that you could learn the basics.
      Then after some good practice you will be ready for this type of content.
      don't put the cart before the horse.

    The thing is, did all the jazz Greats learn the theory to this depth? Because part of me intuitively feels they played what they felt and things built from there. Sometimes if you have to learn things in such an “extreme” technical way means you will take forever and never be able to play jazz but you will make these companies a lot of money to live. Hmmmm!

    • @mDecksMusic
      @mDecksMusic  2 роки тому +4

      The Jazz Greats know their theory to this depth for sure. Was it “this” theory? No. Every Jazz great had their own theory. Some of it, they learned from others, another part of it by playing and studying for hours on end. Are you saying you can’t imagine Bill Evans sitting at the piano practicing things like this?
