Brilliant video I really enjoyed it it helps me distract myself when I'm sick man you blow me away every time and I love your teaching approach keep rocking there.
awesome video just at the right time, i just spend all day on C F G realizing the tritone subs of a vi - ii - V - I are the biii - bvi - bII - I and then i tried using the diminished chords which are beautiful options for each of these, and now you post a video explaining all of this stuff i was trying to wrap my head around
I still cant wrap my head around the thing u described here and it sounds like you know what you are talking about "... realizing the tritone subs of a vi - ii - V - I are the biii - bvi - bII - I ..." Can you try to explain it to me? And also "... and then i tried using the diminished chords which are beautiful options for each of these" Do you mean that you played the diminished chord of the tritone subs; biii - bvi - bII - I, as you mentioned above that? Thanks!!!
Thanks for this vid, this topic is in one way widely talked about in jazz but few break it down online and actually explain what is going on. That said, a lot of the concepts here are quite graspable and where I fail to get reharms is once you get more advanced than this. E.g. "a chromatic approach to jazz harmony and melody" has tons of reharms that break outside tritone subs, 2-5s, side skipping and dims. Love the Moffa btw and see you put on fatter Thomastiks? ❤
Very informative, thank you Rotem. Then you can show us how to approach improvising on this chord progression and what your anchor points are. Thanks 🙏
Level after level I had the feeling of aiming at Mount Everest, but I think that an excellent training to (try to) reach the top should be analysing bossa nova songs, which are obviously crafted with these tricks. Thanks!
And btw the 5 of 2 and the 7 of 2 are the same voicing! A7 b9 and C7b9 are the same. One has the 3rd in the bass and the other has the b9! That’s my understanding of it.
I hear a delay there and some reverb, are you using any delay or reverb? What else do you have on your board? I saw your unboxing video of the guitar, very very beautiful guitar 😊
I have a question there in level 14 you said that a flat was the two of d flat I think it's the five or what am I missing. ? Whoever knows please help me out I got pretty confused by that trying to understand what he meant but could be he just misspoke so let me know if I'm the idiot or not.
Not quite as answered above. Remember the Db9 was a tritone sub of G7 not a dominant 5th of Gb, which hasn’t been mentioned up to this point. I understand when people say dominant they usually mean the dominant 5th, but he definitely called it a 2 of Db9 “when I have a dominant, I can play a 2 of *that* dominant” (in this case that would be Eb minor 7/9) Later, when summarising this section he calls the Ab minor 7/9 the flat 6th minor 7/9. Thus referring to this chord with another different name (which is correct for the key of C ) It’s not surprising that Joseph is confused. Like you I made the leap to thinking he must mean the second of the key in which Db9 is the dominant, but that isn’t what he actually said
We have to remember that an "X7" chord is the V7 of some major/parallel minor key. Therefore, to find the tonic of said key we go down a fifth or up a fourth from the root of said V7. To find the ii of that key, we go up a major second. The shortcut is to go a perfect fourth down from the root of any X7 chord, and that will be "the ii of that V", as going down a fourth is the same as down a fifth and up a major second.
Please clarify at level 10. So 7 of 2 is C7 and the 7 of D is a diminished chord, but you are playing a C 7b9 or a C# dim. Not a C dim. I’m confused what am I missing? Help!
I love that you get straight into it in this lesson. I feel this is a really great direction for you in this format.
Thank you man! Always good to learn from you!
Be well, be you, love and shine!
Your tone in this is phenomenal! Can you please do a video on how to get your tone?
Brilliant video I really enjoyed it it helps me distract myself when I'm sick man you blow me away every time and I love your teaching approach keep rocking there.
What a great Christmas present! Thanx!
❤️❤️❤️
One of your best videos Lately, Rotem! Thank you so much
Great lesson. This made me understand some of these substitutions way more easily than some other ways I've tried.
Thx for everything you’re giving us! Merry Christmas
❤️ merry Christmas!
Explaining Jazz in less than 23 minutes! It's just genius! Thanks Rotem. Wishing you all the best for 2025!!!
Great stuff, some of those chords shapes were giving me a work out on my acoustic
Sensible, applicable theory. Brilliant video!

That was fantastic, super fun and interesting the whole way with a great result that's practical to understand and use.. Thanks for sharing
I watched very careful but from some point and after you blow my mind with substitutions...was around 16-17th minute....😁😁😁
I wish TrueFire would let you do a whole course on this!
Rotem, thank you so very much for this video!
its exciting to be exposed to your depth of understanding
🙏 warm holiday greetings from nyc!

Thank you! 😃 merry Xmas!

A big part of harrmony in 20 min .
Great vidéo, thank you .
such a nice person, so smoothly explained
Thank you so much!

Sounds like the first two chords to the tune ,,rainy night in Georgia
And btw the 5 of 2 and the 7 of 2 are the same voicing! A7 b9 and C7b9 are the same. One has the 3rd in the bass and the other has the b9! That’s my understanding of it.
Wonderful video. What guitar is that/ It's very pretty.
How's that new gitar treating you man?

Db7 is part of the Gb major tonality. Abm7 is the two of Gb in this context.
If you take Db as the one then yes, Ab is the 5. But here he’s saying to take Db as the 5, which would make Gb the one. Then Ab is the two.
Not quite as answered above. Remember the Db9 was a tritone sub of G7 not a dominant 5th of Gb, which hasn’t been mentioned up to this point. I understand when people say dominant they usually mean the dominant 5th, but he definitely called it a 2 of Db9 “when I have a dominant, I can play a 2 of *that* dominant” (in this case that would be Eb minor 7/9) Later, when summarising this section he calls the Ab minor 7/9 the flat 6th minor 7/9.

@@Arthur_My_Dear Thanks. I was locked into the video until this part where I lost it completely.
We have to remember that an "X7" chord is the V7 of some major/parallel minor key. Therefore, to find the tonic of said key we go down a fifth or up a fourth from the root of said V7. To find the ii of that key, we go up a major second.

Great Lesson! Thank you!
Thanks Shawn!! Happy holidays
grandios
Beyonce would certainly expect only a tritone substitution there, but without the 9th... ; )
Please clarify at level 10. So 7 of 2 is C7 and the 7 of D is a diminished chord, but you are playing a C 7b9 or a C# dim. Not a C dim. I’m confused what am I missing? Help!
Hello, could someone plz explain how the Abmin7 is the II of Db7(bii7 of Cmaj)? LVL 14 :)
Please trim your strings 🙈 seeing this is such a distraction😅
😂
Done :)
Amazing video btw, merry christmas from germany!
