    This is a snippet taken from a private guitar lesson I held with Nino Helfrich, showing an exercise on how to resolve your lines over a 2-5-1 progression. Nino has been a long-term student of mine, is an Ibanez artist and has original music out. Go follow him via / ninohelfrich

    Again, I love these lesson-excerpts. Highly appreciated. Just the little technical episode and the imagination of a "robot" has helped me, since I tend to overemphasize precision and accuracy, but find it difficult, to put the finger down fast, but not to use too much pressure. I guess the latter is probably not my problem after all.

The emotion is the listeners response to music and I think it's important to understand that that is personal. In fact, it has to do with having respect for another persons point of view. I try not to force my taste (which is really what the term "emotion" stands for in this scenario) onto an artist or another listener.

    Great excercise! That's exactly the main content of my own lessons. And Nino... I'm just as "slow" as you. Spontaneous, concious (!) visualisation is hard anyway. But when it comes to those changes with the altered scale, it's even harder. @Martin: do you already visualise the next scale on the fretboard while still playing the previous scale? Or how do you think in this case? What's the thought process? Mostly, I even need time to think about how to think, before I can think about the scales themselves. Please keep these lesson vids going! Cheers, Markus :)

      @joeysixstring2442 4 роки тому

      Quintin Pace that’s actually an incorrect way to view it imo. The “tonal center” is still C over the D. The TRIADS of D however are chord tones. Therefore they act like tonal centers, but its still C with an emphasis on a chord tone. Not a D tonal center.

    • @quintinpace2627
      @quintinpace2627 4 роки тому

      @@joeysixstring2442 There seems to have been a misunderstanding, as I advocated for the tonal center remaining C the entire time (because it does). If the tonal center is C, it's C. All the notes will relate back to C functionally, so no modes have any application as modes (which would require them to be the tonal center). Jazz guys use modes to order scales so chord tones fall on strong beats, sure. But there's no need to think Dorian over a ii chord. Needlessly complicated and it misses the point of learning language.
      Maybe it was me shortening 'traditional' to 'trad'?

    I guess Google's algos are getting smarter. I just posted a rant of sorts on IGTV about there being no such thing as a #5 on a dominant chord. The math just doesn't make sense. Googs then shows me this 2 yr old video.
    Mr Miller, you're a far more accomplished musician and educator than I am. If you'd care to explain why you call it this, perhaps I could have the opportunity to change my mind.
    The only time I can see it making sense is as a passing tone going up, but definitely not as an extension. A #5 prevents the b5, and you need both in an altered Dom. As an extension, b13 makes more sense.

    • @MartinMillerGuitar
      @MartinMillerGuitar  4 роки тому +2

      It's complicated xD
      If you're talking chord tones then G7(#5) would indicate that there's no perfect 5th in the chord. If you do have a D in the chord and wanna use Eb as an extension that would indeed be a b13.
      If you're talking scale degrees and you're using phrygian dominant as the chord scale you would have a b6 (b13) in that scale as it co-exists with the perfect fifth. Now with the altered scale things get really messy as we're not using it functionally correct. If you look at the chord tones of the 7th mode of the melodic minor scale (superlocrian) you'll find that it actually spells out a minor7b5 chord, not an altered dominant chord. Therefor the theoretically accurate scale degree configuration for superlocrian is 1-b2-b3-b4-b5-b6-b7. Somebody at some point found out that these scale degree's lend themselves nicely to altered dominant chords. But of course nobody says b4 when they talk about a major third. So the whole thing is technically flawed from the start and hence I usually treat the altered scale as 1-b9-#9-3-b5-#5-b7 to make it easier to understand for the student. But you're right, it's technically off but everybody kind of silently agrees with it. Excellent question dude! I'm sure some theory buffs have plenty more insight into this.

    • @KendrickCreates
      @KendrickCreates 4 роки тому

      @@MartinMillerGuitar Thanks for the clarification! Some may ask why these sorts of discussions are necessary, as theory is just us nerds trying to explain what's happening in practice.
