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!
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.
I have never done tritone subs on the melody. I use different ways (hacks).. to find the tritone In G I mentally form the dim. triad from G. G Bb Db. are consecutive -3rd intervals. The Db is the tritone. Of course this alreadyis known by experienced players. There are much easier ways to do this. First a fee things that are helpful ..not part of the process. The fifth is 3 whole tones away either way C to Gb or Gb to C..That is s basic check I use. No need to do that if you know the
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. 👍
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 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.
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.
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
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!
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.
These licks are great. But nothing replaces learning straight off the records. If you hear something you like learn it for yourself. These 3 licks won't give you that "classic sound." Practicing for years working to imitate the sounds of the masters is what will do it
@@archimedislapaz4070 Wrong, you develop your ideas after learning from the greats. You acquire a vocabulary through learning the solos of the greats, then say what you want with that vocabulary. Freedom, no bars, no confinement.
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!
OK Jeff, I am still stuck in the pentatonic improvising and getting a little tired. I didn't know about the Bebop scale, but I feel a little directionless. But going to implement these. Nice look (with the hair).
I'm sure a lot of you know this, but here's something you can do with lick 3: jumping up from the 3 to the b9 on a dominant chord is a particularly nice move. Try this: go down from the F as shown until you reach the B now jump up to an Ab an octave above the one shown, and continue the line down in the higher octave.
Playing licks is like preparing an answer for a question that hasn’t been asked. Anyone can copy licks and play, that takes practice and technique. But playing from your head like you were singing, that takes musicality. That’s my opinion.
Thanks Jeff I really appreciate these licks and will definitely be using them. Though, right now I’m really working on gaining fluidity in enclosures, approach notes, and altered extensions.
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 !

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

The video editing on this is beautiful
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

The "HeyeverybodyJeffSchneiderhere!" made me check if I was on 1.5 speed... lol

wow, you are one of the most intelligent and humble musicians in the web
Loved the video, Jeff!! Yay 🙌
Thanks, Nahre!! Means a lot coming from you!
Thank you for this!
Jeff Schneider here and Bradley Cooper too ! ))
Dear Jeff! Thank you for everything!
I was confused by a term I heard you mention once or twice...
what is a "note"?
Your chord scale charts are clever, with the horizontal and vertical layout. I've never seen it like this, well done.

Please more!!!! Love how you explain each lick (Plus you’re looking slick!)
Your teaching is clear AF
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
Jeff..like the way you gave written explanations.
Your videos have helped me considerably.
Excellent. Very clear and useful. Thanks.
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.
I've been playing those exact phrases for the past 40 years. Great stuff! Thanks!
Your videos are extremely beautiful and awesome! Thx a lot!🎉
Jeff is not lying. These are indeed the last chord scale charts you'll ever need. Great job.

Awesome Jeff. Your delivery ( not too nerdy) makes these super easy to grab,analysis was just enough. Thks, jimmy
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!!
Awesome content, the chart is just so beautiful!
You really improved the quality of not just the overall image/color grading but also the way you are presenting the info. Really cool!
Luv it.......Bring back video of the week.....God Bless Loop of the week ##
Wow! Somebody knows about David Baker! Thank you so much Jeff... loved the presentation!
great for motivation and the shed , as ever thanks Jeffers
You bet

Great clip, thanks Jeff. The lick at 4:09 is cool like as in Eric Dolphy-ish.

Beautiful
3 licks for one video is great. Could you imagine doing a lick for every day? I'd call it day licks.
Great stuff Jeff!
Brilliant teaching style Jeff.
Great stuff Jeff
Excellent
Thank you for explaining so clearly. Much better than many others. Great job.
thanks a lot its very clear and useful
Thanks! Your lessons make pandemia bearable :-)
1:13 Ah yes, the "Now I'm playing be-bop" lick. This can be heard an astonishing amount in jazz solos
Thank you so much

These 3 lines are played in maaaany great records so I don't see the problem here tbh
@@homelesscorncobbob Great learning to play a lick (donna lee) two times before its' played in the song and completely isolated from the context yes.
It’s a place to start. For beginners, these licks could be an open door to creativity.
thank you

I like your sense of humor man! 🤣🤣
Thanks for the licks ✌🏽
nice to see you back
Great to see you again 😎
Well put analogy. Gonna steal that
Excellent lesson (pace & content) Mr. Schneider!
Loving the new format
Wait I haven't watched your videos in a minute and suddenly you went from having a start-up in the Valley to Calvin Klein model. Damn SON!! 🔥🔥🔥
Thanks, Jeff - Much appreciated! I downloaded your Chord Scale Charts. They are super helpful.
Get eeem Jeff! Great teaching man!
harmonic Minor sounds very awesome~!
I love that risk reward viz! And the lesson
Never apologize for " getting nerdy".
OK Jeff, I am still stuck in the pentatonic improvising and getting a little tired. I didn't know about the Bebop scale, but I feel a little directionless. But going to implement these.

Donna Lee lick used to be known as 'In-di-an-a-be-bop', which makes sense as Donna is a contrafact of 'Back Home Again in Indiana'
Thank Jeff, really helpful - and I like the unique way you presented these ideas!
Very cool Jeff, love the tritone sub licks.
Excellent lesson. Thanks. $23 is not free.
Thanks Jeff I really appreciate these licks and will definitely be using them. Though, right now I’m really working on gaining fluidity in enclosures, approach notes, and altered extensions.
I tried to alter my extension - but I couldn't get planning permission. . .
Cool man
congrats Jeff you made it!
Without the glasses, you got some serious Bradley Cooper action happening
