    Playing over a long 2-5-1 doesn't have to be any more complicated than playing over a short 2-5-1! In this video, I show you how to create motion through a long 2-5-1 and how to simplify your practicing so you can focus on...making music!

    Hey there. This was a good way to think about it and I might share it with a few of my students. You are absolutely right to focus on the forward motion of the line through the dominant chord. Another way to arrive at the same element of the idiom on a long 2-5-1 is to reserve the tasty color notes for the last two beats of the chord. A lot of beginning and intermediate players will go right for the juiciest tensions right at the beginning of the V chord and then have no where to go that raises the stakes as you move towards the tonic. Starting with the tense notes of the V chord and then moving to the more diatonic ones really takes the motion and flavor out of the line.
    Your way of breaking this down is very easily explainable and easy to demonstrate.

    Dude, this education is top shelf. So the ii has the V's 9 and 11 which sound chill, then spicier extensions are organised towards the end of the bar.. so the tension kinda crescendos. F**king brilliant.

    Way to go, Dave. As a guy who’s been playing professionally for 47 (!!) years I can’t help but think about how much farther along the bridge I’d be now had someone explained it so clearly as you do here when I was in my teens. Of course, the self discovery method has its virtues, but it took me a whole bunch of time. Maybe I’m slow! You are a great teacher, an excellent musician, and you play your ass off. Thanks.

      @@DavePollack Thanks for your great videos. Btw I didn't see the link you said was below explaining about tritones. but, that video was more about creating voice-leading melodic solos. Super helpful as well. If there is a video you made esp for Tritones, I'll look for it inside your channel.

    • @CrisFerrerYT

      Hi Frank I'm not sure if I'm confusing you more. However, here's what I understood - if we think of Db7 as C#7, I can relate the sharps better to the Bmaj7 chord.
      As you know, every V7 chord has a related II minor7, which in this case is G#minor. The notes B, D#, F#, and G# correspond to the Bmaj7 chord.
      If we look at the relation between C#7 and Bmaj7, B is the 7th of C#7, D# is the 9th, and F# is the 11th. Thus, C#7 and Bmaj7 have common notes.
      Now, let's consider C#7 ( the so-called tritone ) over G7. C# is the 11# of G7, E# (which is the same as F) is the 7th, G# is the b9, and A# (which is the same as Bb) is the #9 of G7. he pointed that out before but as Db7.
      Again, if you look at it in sharps instead of flats, you can see Bmaj7 involved.
      Overall, it seems like everything is connected in one way or another.
      I believe Dave is giving us a shortcut so that we don't have to struggle mentally. I might be wrong in all my analysis though, as I'm not sure if this is exactly how Dave thought about it. Honestly, he's the master here in every aspect. I'm nothing but grateful for his great videos.
      Hope this helps.
      Regards
