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...
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.
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.
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.
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. 👍
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
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).
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.
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 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 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 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.
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!
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.
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

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

@@JeffSchneiderMusic couldn't agree more!! Which tools / software do you use for those graphics?
Loved the video, Jeff!! Yay 🙌
Thanks, Nahre!! Means a lot coming from you!
Thank you for this!
The video editing on this is beautiful
Luv it.......Bring back video of the week.....God Bless Loop of the week ##
I was confused by a term I heard you mention once or twice...
what is a "note"?
Awesome Jeff. Your delivery ( not too nerdy) makes these super easy to grab,analysis was just enough. Thks, jimmy

Your teaching is clear AF
Excellent. Very clear and useful. Thanks.
1. lick 1:16
2. lick 3:12
3. lick 4:22
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!!
Great máster, excellent greetings from Paraguay 👍👍👍👌👌I love jazz
Awesome content, the chart is just so beautiful!
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 for motivation and the shed , as ever thanks Jeffers
You bet
Jeff Schneider. GENIUS
Please more!!!! Love how you explain each lick (Plus you’re looking slick!)
Jeff Schneider here and Bradley Cooper too ! ))
Dear Jeff! Thank you for everything!
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...
Brilliant teaching style Jeff.
Jeff..like the way you gave written explanations.
Your chord scale charts are clever, with the horizontal and vertical layout. I've never seen it like this, well done.
I started watching the channel because of D'angelo, now I'm hooked on all your videos. Your channel is great!!
Your videos have helped me considerably.
Your videos are extremely beautiful and awesome! Thx a lot!🎉
Dang thank you Jeff. Also nice lighting
I've been playing those exact phrases for the past 40 years. Great stuff! 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.
wow, you are one of the most intelligent and humble musicians in the web
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.
Hey Jeff. Great to see you back. You have been sorely missed. Thanks for sharing this and the free chart. 😎
nice to see you back

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.
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 say this on a lot of Jeff's videos - They are so helpful for breaking out of guitar pattern ruts.

Thank you for this superb explanation and merry Christmas from Austria
Very cool Jeff, love the tritone sub licks.
Great lesson. Thank you.
Wow! Somebody knows about David Baker! Thank you so much Jeff... loved the presentation!
PLEAS MORE OF THIS!!!!
Your video illustrations are extremely well done. Masterful really. Thank you
Very cool
Excellent lesson (pace & content) Mr. Schneider!
Jeff is not lying. These are indeed the last chord scale charts you'll ever need. Great job.
Well put analogy. Gonna steal that
Great stuff, not too long, well explained, right amount of info
harmonic Minor sounds very awesome~!
''Super Nerdy Licks''. What great name for a band or song
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).
good luck pal

I tried to alter my extension - but I couldn't get planning permission. . .
I always considered the 5th mode of the harmonic minor scale is Phrygian Dominant. Both are correct it’s just different ways to look at same thing
Great to see you again 😎
Muy bueno Jeff!!! Gracias!!!
Great video Jeff! Really well done.
Your vedio is so amazing. I will come often
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
Very effective explanation. Thanks for giving me homework for tonight plus more!
Thanks for the lesson!
congrats Jeff you made it!
Great stuff Jeff!
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.
Wonderful! Combination of licks approach and theory. Me gusta
Great explanation.
Thank you Jeff - May the 4ths B with U
Great work on the chord scales charts, nicely done and well explained
Great stuff Jeff
Thank Jeff, really helpful - and I like the unique way you presented these ideas!

Great succinct lesson and awesome animations. Thanks!
Thanks, Jeff - Much appreciated! I downloaded your Chord Scale Charts. They are super helpful.
Fully enjoyed this tritone trick! Awesome💜
Thank you for explaining so clearly. Much better than many others. Great job.
Wow, that document is a great resource! Thanks for sharing.
Good to see ya
Loving the new format
Great clip, thanks Jeff. The lick at 4:09 is cool like as in Eric Dolphy-ish.
