Pro Tip: The tritone trick works best on dominant 7 licks that don’t have altered notes e.g. b9, #9, #11, b13. Transposing up or down a tritone generates those tensions!
Craig Caver if you look at Jeff's earlier videos he demos a lot on sax, he's an awesome player. Also a very good keys player. His info on Jazz is spot on.
The reason for this: The b13 of G is the 9 of Db, the b9 of G is the 5 of 5 of Db. Let me summarise: The altered notes of G are (almost...) the mixolydian notes of the tritone. Now let's elaborate on the altered dominant scale...
I’m loving the motion graphics, Jeff! Your videos have always been very professional, but the new graphics have added another layer of quality - and fun!
This is awesome! For me the lightbulb went on when I started looking at licks as sentences - like learning a new language. Up to that time I was concentrating on learning scales, etc. As I learned more licks I started stringing them together and my solos started sounding much better. One of the best books I ever bought was "The BeBop Bible", just full of licks to learn and use.
When you're learning a lick, what attributes do you give it to recall later? Do you learn it in every key? Is there a set process you go through in terms of working over a lick again and again until you internalise it? Thats the sort of content I want .... like, OK, if you allocate 15 minutes of your practice time to licks exclusively, what is the best way to spend those 15 minutes?
O lord. You are proof, that nothing is original especially you... this was great, my music teacher this back in 1989 at Watertown described it as normal English and or southern voice. Good shit...
this is a good tutorial even for guitarists . I didn't even realize it was suppose to be for pianists until i watched your other videos . I am sitting here with a guitar learning these licks.
Spot on analysis - Dexter and Sonny always quoted other tunes and "simple" riffs - that's what makes their sound so authentic AND appealing in my opinion.
Hi, you convinced me of the usefulness of working with licks. I never felt like doing it because I didn't want to feel like a parrot. But the comparison with common expressions is more than convincing. Thank you, and I can already feel the benefits. Thx from France. 👍
I just want to say I love how you put your ideas into the context of the music philosophically. Personally, I just can't seem to learn well when I'm just told what to do and not given context. A good context is like walking into a lighted room.
Nice new format! I know I've been farming it but I like how when you take the David Baker Bepop lick and immediately play it a tritone apart you get a 12 tone row. I also like to displace the last two notes an octave up
great vid man. david baker and jerry coker's books/materials really opened my eyes on the "dialect" of different styles/genres/eras by looking at idiomatic licks and phrasing approaches. first it helped me recognize how to approach that improvising jazz, but then i saw how that concept extended out to any genre, whether it was bluegrass or baroque or whatever. they're all using the same note "alphabet" but knowing different idioms/phrases allows you to fit into those different musical dialects (it also helps with analysis/quicker sight reading). i think of it like an actor speaking different dialects depending on the role.
Just came across your channel and happy to say you've earned a subscriber! Couldn't be happier with the free download. I feel like I need to grasp the technical stuff. Maybe not all of it, but the chord progression along with major scales is really a good start. If you offer a beginner's crash course on analyzing music/music theory in relation to jazz, I would be interested 😁 thanks again for the free download!
Thanks Jeff, fantastic quality content as ever. I don't think it's too nerdy or technical - we come here for music theory and you make it accessible. Not spoon fed, but enough to make us do the work and get the results. Keep it coming!
Great tutorials and many many thanks for the Last Chord Scale charts. Utterly brilliant and excellent video. Have been looking for this for ages. I’m a beginner/ perhaps just intermediate of a ‘certain age’ and playing alto. A bit passionate about jazz !
Thank you for the generous chord charts and the licks for days. They are both great resource materials for the shed. I just watched another video that said scales are the alphabet and although I got the guys point it just resonated more when you said notes are the alphabet. Which in my mind makes the licks like words. And of course I could try to carry out the analogy ad infinitum but instead I’ll just thank you again for pointing out the yellow brick road.
On the last, descending lick: You could think of them melodically rather than harmonically. Both the b9 and the b13 go down chromatically to a chord tone that's on the beat. So you can think of them as chromatic approach notes. Which is why they really work. Not a lot of people hear those notes harmonically when they're played in a single-line solo - they just pull you outside, and then resolve to a chord tone before you can think about them.
I had already typed "Is this Jeff Schneider or Bradley Cooper?" but before I hit reply, I decided to ctrl + f "Bradley" and I see you beat me too it sir.

Nice haircut. Don't cut it. Have a great week!
So you have guitars behind you but playing saxophone on the licks! So which is your main axe and why don't you show yourself playing?
thanks jeff. Just bought the stanky loops vol 2! Been waiting all summer to get this! Thanks for teaching us

Loved the video, Jeff!! Yay 🙌
Thanks, Nahre!! Means a lot coming from you!
Thank you for this!

Thanks, Matt!
@@JeffSchneiderMusic couldn't agree more!! Which tools / software do you use for those graphics?
The video editing on this is beautiful

Hey Jeff. Great to see you back. You have been sorely missed. Thanks for sharing this and the free chart. 😎
Your teaching is clear AF
Very good lesson...very good teacher... clearly explained.
I started watching the channel because of D'angelo, now I'm hooked on all your videos. Your channel is great!!
O lord. You are proof, that nothing is original especially you... this was great, my music teacher this back in 1989 at Watertown described it as normal English and or southern voice.
Good shit...
wow, you are one of the most intelligent and humble musicians in the web
Your chord scale charts are clever, with the horizontal and vertical layout. I've never seen it like this, well done.
Awesome Jeff. Your delivery ( not too nerdy) makes these super easy to grab,analysis was just enough. Thks, jimmy
this is a good tutorial even for guitarists . I didn't even realize it was suppose to be for pianists until i watched your other videos . I am sitting here with a guitar learning these licks.
Please more!!!! Love how you explain each lick (Plus you’re looking slick!)
Luv it.......Bring back video of the week.....God Bless Loop of the week ##
Jeff Schneider. GENIUS
This is one o the most useful UA-cam lessons I’ve ever seen. Thank you, sir.
you need to stay in more :D
Great máster, excellent greetings from Paraguay 👍👍👍👌👌I love jazz
Spot on analysis - Dexter and Sonny always quoted other tunes and "simple" riffs - that's what makes their sound so authentic AND appealing in my opinion.
Jeff Schneider here and Bradley Cooper too ! ))
Dear Jeff! Thank you for everything!
Thank you so much for the " ...super nerdy..." video.
At last I've found that classic jazz sound I 've been looking for for so long! I'm thrilled!!
Brilliant teaching style Jeff.
You really improved the quality of not just the overall image/color grading but also the way you are presenting the info. Really cool!
I've been playing those exact phrases for the past 40 years. Great stuff! Thanks!
Jeff is not lying. These are indeed the last chord scale charts you'll ever need. Great job.
I say this on a lot of Jeff's videos - They are so helpful for breaking out of guitar pattern ruts.

Thank you, and I can already feel the benefits. Thx from France. 👍
Excellent. Very clear and useful. Thanks.
Your videos are extremely beautiful and awesome! Thx a lot!🎉

Your videos have helped me considerably.

great for motivation and the shed , as ever thanks Jeffers
You bet

Excellent lesson (pace & content) Mr. Schneider!
Thank you for this superb explanation and merry Christmas from Austria
Wow! Somebody knows about David Baker! Thank you so much Jeff... loved the presentation!
wow don't remember if i ever seen such an interesting analyse of MELODY, tons of harmony and rythm, but very rare phrases and licks
Dang thank you Jeff. Also nice lighting
Great stuff, not too long, well explained, right amount of info
Thank you for explaining so clearly. Much better than many others. Great job.
''Super Nerdy Licks''. What great name for a band or song
This is truly an excellent video. I appreciate it from both the point of of view of a musician and a youtube creator
Well put analogy. Gonna steal that
Thank Jeff, really helpful - and I like the unique way you presented these ideas!
PLEAS MORE OF THIS!!!!
Very cool Jeff, love the tritone sub licks.

I was confused by a term I heard you mention once or twice...
what is a "note"?
Great video Jeff! Really well done.
Excellent
Excellent
Excellent
Great work on the chord scales charts, nicely done and well explained
Great tutorials and many many thanks for the Last Chord Scale charts. Utterly brilliant and excellent video. Have been looking for this for ages. I’m a beginner/ perhaps just intermediate of a ‘certain age’ and playing alto. A bit passionate about jazz !
Great to see you again 😎
Wonderful! Combination of licks approach and theory. Me gusta
Thanks, Jeff - Much appreciated! I downloaded your Chord Scale Charts. They are super helpful.
Great succinct lesson and awesome animations. Thanks!

Thank you Jeff - May the 4ths B with U
Wow, that document is a great resource! Thanks for sharing.

Great to see you dude! Awesome as usual!😀🙌🏼

I thought for a second why I’m subscribed to Bradley Cooper😂
😂😂
He look so good with that hair
Haha I had to comment that's exactly I was thinking, then I saw your comment!!
If Bradley cooper and the lie to me guy had a son. Precious lesson btw
I had already typed "Is this Jeff Schneider or Bradley Cooper?" but before I hit reply, I decided to ctrl + f "Bradley" and I see you beat me too it sir.
Your vedio is so amazing. I will come often
Good to see ya
Fantastic work Jeff. Always explaining so well, thanks buddy.
