    Thank you, Jeremy! When you were demonstrating scales, you were using some basic runs/patters that were not complicated bebop lines, but not just straight scales. Could you do a video on some simple patterns for practicing scales that incorporate some of that intervalic stuff?

    Thank you very much Jeremy. Does it possible analyze one of Wayne Shorter's tune for the sake of deep dive in to modal harmony. Best regatds

    Weirdo! Hi Jeremy. Great video. I played Stella on vibes with Ron Eschete and Luther last night on a gig. Yes, its a weird tune and most people (like me) learn it by rote without really understanding the motion of the harmony. This sure helps a lot. I got a lot out or your classes and am still working on the material (for life!) Happy Holidays!

    Great lesson and playing at the end. I usually think of the first two measures as Bbdim7 with the maj7 in the melody and use the whole/half diminished scale. It's almost like b3dim7 --> iim7

    • @JeremySiskind
      @JeremySiskind  Місяць тому +1

      Yeah! That's one approach. Some people just play that chord for the first two measures. Most play the ii-V and that scale will mainly match but flattens out the difference between EØ7 and A7(b9).

    Such a valuable lesson! Especially the use of the Lydian b7 scale over the backdoor V - I is such a nice concept - Adding the #4 to the V-Chord, the maj3 of the I-Chord and blending them together this way. Great video as always!

    • @JeremySiskind

    Hey Jeremy! Where do you think this lesson would fall in your courses offered at Fullerton? I like to think I'd be ready for the intermediate class, but this lesson is definitely pushing my limits of understanding

    • @JeremySiskind
      @JeremySiskind  Місяць тому +1

      Good question - would definitely be in the higher level class. We don’t get into minor key harmony in the first class

  • @Martian128
    @Martian128 Місяць тому +1

    Have to admit i really prefer thinking in terms of "which melodic minor can i use here?" I've been taking baby steps into a similar take on Hot House (btw is that tune a contrafact?) and of course it doesn't work for every chord, but i like the exotic flavor it brings - does that make me a weirdo?

    I like the C harmonic minor on the G#5. But wouldn’t you agree that you can just add the b-flat to this scale? I don’t like the big jump to the b. Bud Powell does it on the G7 at the coda of Celia, and probably other tunes as well.

    • @gmitter-sl3qq
      @gmitter-sl3qq 3 дні тому +1

      this is a favorite trick if mine!
      Note: over G7b9 (for example), which is the dominant in key of Cminor:
      * C harm minor with added b7 (Bb),
      * Bb mixolydian with added b9 (B) (Bb7 being backdoor dominant of Cmin)
      * Eb maj bebop scale (added b13: B) (Eb being relative major of Cminor)
      all have the same notes!

    • @karsteinkomponist
      @karsteinkomponist Місяць тому

      Backdoor 2-5-1. Normally a 2-5-1 in Bb major is Cm7-F7-Bb. The progression Ebm7-Ab7-Bb is called "Backdoor 2-5-1" - it leads to Db but surprisingly goes to Bb instead.

    WONDERFUL VIDEO!!!
    Regarding bar 14:
    What about using {Bø7 Bbdim} for bar 14?
    Representing an expression of
    {G7 C7-Bbo}
    {/ / / / }
    To me this is way more elegant than
    {Eø7 A7}
    to get to Aø7 in bar 15.
    This also creates a nice harmonic symmetry with the changes that start 5 bars early {Bbma7} to {Eø A7} bars 9-10.
    So bars 13-14 do the same move, {Fma7} to {Bø7 Bbdim} ...
    See what you think!

      Same basic idea as mine...
      Sort of a variation of
      G7 for 2 beats, C7 for 1 beat, then C7/Bb for 1 beat. or the Bbdim for beats 3 and 4....
      I prefer all those variations for the melody than the Eø7 A7...
      Hey, but that's just me. ;-)

    • @MarkEisenman
      @MarkEisenman Місяць тому +1

      Not to mention that even the 1st bar was originally Bbdimma7 (so the bebop substitute is the { Eø7 A7b9} thing),
      and the bar (14) that we're discussing alludes to my take on it... sort of.
      Here's the source.
