Thank you very much. I will create my Chord Tones and Guide tones in MuseScore and Practice this techneque. I'll Start with 500 Miles High by Chick Corea. That's the current song I'm shedding.
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..?
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.
This makes so much sense just what I've been looking for. Right now we're busy moving to another state but once settled I'm joining. Thanks for this approach to jazz improv.
Thank you I find your videos so interesting and comprehensive to understand😊 I was also considering to join membership/purchase paper publications, but where can I find the profile of this wonderful tutor in videos?
I love this daily exercise! it's a perfect routine for me to get my chord's muscle memory in both hands. Coming from guitar, I needed this for two handed coordination and theory practice. Thanks!
Fine practice technique for any tune - invites some adventurous improvisation and "side-slipping" between various guide tone lines (eg: call and response) - many thanks!
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?
Thank you for sharing the method! It’s very logical and effective to practice. Any tip for thinking 13th & 5th faster? It always took me a long time to calculate and react to the notes. Thanks!
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)
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.
No via apple. But if you purchase Mapping Tonal Harmony Pro for MacOS on our website I can help you activate the add-ons you bought on your iPad. (so buy the on iPad and I can help you with macOS)
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 Hardy
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.
Como siempre muchas gracias por compartir tanto conocimiento y de una manera tan didáctica. Lamento tener que seguir esperando por los subtitulo en español.
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!
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?

10+ years I've been practicing chord tones wrong, until I find this video. thanks!
Beautiful!!!!

It’s music! Do whatever makes you happy :)
Accessible
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
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.
@@mDecksMusic awesome, thanks

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!
Thank you I find your videos so interesting and comprehensive to understand😊 I was also considering to join membership/purchase paper publications, but where can I find the profile of this wonderful tutor in videos?
Fantastic and simple. Wish I heard this a long time ago
This is a wonderful way to practice. Thank you Mr Music.
Tellement content d'avoir trouvé vos vidéos. Vraiment excellent travail.

Very inspiring!
Where can I buy these books?
Mdecks.com
Fun stuff. For some reason I keep thinking of Bill Evans Waltz for Debby. For some reason.

Magnifique !
Awesome!
You’re a straight savage for wearing a school of rock shirt
lol!
I so much love your presentation and would like to be a part of it. Thanks

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.
I think this is one of the best relaxed exercises I have done
Thank you for sharing the method! It’s very logical and effective to practice. Any tip for thinking 13th & 5th faster? It always took me a long time to calculate and react to the notes. Thanks!
Tips to think faster… not really. Just accumulating enough practice hours so you don’t hVe to think anymore. It will happen
awesome , thanks!
You said left hand did you mean right hand?
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)
Do you have a guitar program
Not at the moment.
THANKS!
11:11 Actually Tension 9 (C#) would sound great over that Bm7b5
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.
@@mDecksMusic Natural 9th on a m7b5 comes from the melodic minor
so every note is substituted with the 3rd 5th and 7th of that note?
Where is the play along? It’s very nice, light and swinging unlike a lot of robotics play alongs!
Play along by Mapping Tonal Harmony Pro
This is great stuff. Thank you!
Do these books come with the backing tracks? If not what is a good resource for the backing tracks ?
We use Mapping Tonal Harmony Pro to create most backing tracks
@@mDecksMusic I see how it works now. Binged a few videos. Looks amazing. Are the add-on exclusive to the device? IPad vs MacOS?
No via apple. But if you purchase Mapping Tonal Harmony Pro for MacOS on our website I can help you activate the add-ons you bought on your iPad. (so buy the on iPad and I can help you with macOS)

This video is so on "Target"...I also tried to say the chord tones out loud as I played... messed up a bit however!

Pido disculpas no los había visto. Gracias.
