  • In this episode I will go through multiple ways to reharmonize a 12 bar Blues in F. I will show you how to use devices like, modal mixture, Tritone Substitution, the Coltrane Changes, The Cycle, Modal Interchange, Pedal Tone, Bitonal Substitution, Turnaround Substitutions with an example at the end of soloing with these techniques.

    You KNOW you've gone down the jazz hole when you sub the tri-tone sub... and just casually point at it like "no big deal my next chord is an F7sus4". This is mind-blowing stuff, Rick!

    Holy Hell... You just taught over a semester's worth in 21 minutes.

    A most excellent study, Rick!!! Everyone, write all of this out, record each example playing chords, spend one week doing nothing but listening to the changes WITHOUT soloing, then start noodling within the harmony until it becomes natural TO YOU. In 6 months, your playing will be transformed!!

  • @insaneintherainmusic
    @insaneintherainmusic 7 років тому +55

    Really cool! I'd love to see some of these examples played by you, particularly the blues changes you described later in the video, as well as the Coltrane blues!

    I have just shown this to a guitar playing friend who also builds guitars. This has inspired him to concentrate on building them rather than playing them!
    As someone who started off as a self-taught musician, over the last 25 years I have been to see many guitar teachers for lessons and most of them have asked me why the heck I want lessons (with a few of them actually having a few lessons from me as a result). Rick Beato is why I have been seeking further tuition for so long. I have been to many 'master class' sessions with top players, which are always good but only ever single sessions, but finding a teacher who can show you something new on a regular basis is something that will become harder the better that you get. Thank you Rick for these sessions, they really help to satisfy the craving for continual improvement. I still expect to die before I actually master this music thing, but learning to this level does give us all a reason to live.

    Brilliant work Rick. This reminds me of a book by Teddy Baker, from the 1950s I believe, 'How to play modern jazz and hot guitar' or something like that. It really is an excellent book, the introduction states that 'this book is not for beginers, if you practice for two hours a day you might get through the two books in as little as two years, then just in case he hadn't scared away enough wannabe guitarists on the next page there is a chord chart with the heading 'These are the 26 chords that you need to memorize straight away', and a note telling you to memorize the chords before you go any further into the book. I believe that it is still in print.

    A small question: How would you notate F B E with your F Q notation? That's the only one missing right now, and having a notation for stacks of 4ths would be very useful!

    rick, k-dub here, (the GV connection, we met @ vic's show) musta been sleepy, it took me a minute to realize in bar 10 the c#-7 F#7 was a tritone chord sub of F7 because the c#-7 F#7 is a ii/V of B which is the tritone of F7. eeesh! thanks.

    Would love a video in terms of scales to use on the cords especially on the dominant 7th chords. Maybe go into how Coltrane, parker, Michael Brecker would aproach the chords/scales?
    Was really into your channel for the classical/orchestration stuff but being a bass player this is a great bonus.

  • @giordanopagotto7940
    @giordanopagotto7940 6 років тому +2

    Thank you so much for this!
    Just one question: some substitutions you mentioned are justified simply by the chords being from the same scale? For example, at 16:40 you mention the substitution of F#7 for Emaj7(#5). Both come from the C# melodic minor scale (F#7 being a lydian dominant chord), so that's why you substitute one from another?
    If that's the case you don't think of functions of chords (tonic subdominant dominant) when dealing with chords from uncommon scales?

  • @Flat-Five
    @Flat-Five 7 років тому

    Hi Rick, I love that there is so much room for interpretation in the chords to blues. Using blues for alice as an example where you can change the turn around in so many ways, would this not become a problem in a setting like a jam session if different players decide to play the chords differently?

  • @gilregev4823
    @gilregev4823 4 роки тому

  • @colinbarr9032
    @colinbarr9032 7 років тому +2

    Good video, all I'd say is that when you go through lots of examples of how to reharmonise, but stand in front of the board the entire time, it makes it very hard to see/play through the entire progression. Other than that, your channel and lessons are all really great :)

    @Claymor621 7 років тому +1

    This is a great series of vids. On this one however there's a bit I just don't get. I've watched a couple of times and I'm still not understanding the theory behind, or the derivation of, the 'bitonal turnarounds' at 14:55 and 17:28. How do they work? I can't work out why pattern of movement in either the roots or the triads would lead to the next tonality in each case, or to subs. How are they arrived at?I saw Rick use bitonal chords in the 'harmonising a melody' vid but in that case the triads followed the melody. Could someone more knowledgeable explain? Cheers.

    Hi Rick. In Bar 4 of Coltrane changes u went d major to f dom7, in bar 11 you went from c dom 7 to f make.

I've typically started with a domain to go to the target. Just curious if it matters
