Thanks Maestro! You really get to the point. I am a self-taught amateur studying in an academic way and I feel like I am not able to connect with my musical brain while improvising or approaching songs. This will definitely help me a lot!
I am a full-time professional pianist, and these videos are creating breakthroughs in my thinking that simplify and allow me to move more freely on the keyboard.
I've been using this note grouping for years. I just called it a major blues scale. Soul scale works for me too. Love your videos! I can't afford the pdf's right now so I take the time to write them down from the videos. You put out some great information. Thanks so much! 🙏
This man is giving such invaluable advice. It took me years of listening and studying music to grasp all the subtleties in the Jazz idiom he's teaching in just a few hours of video. You rock man, and I hope everyone appreciates your work too.
Ive been studying music theory and jazz on the piano for about a year, and have been really conscious of the gap between traditional theory presentation and the use of scales/theoretical ideas in a popular music context. i really appreciate your videos! i also like: adam neeley tantacrul new jazz nahre sol jeff schneider if you dont know them already you might like their pedagogical ideas!
Nick.. after having surfed the web for zillions of tutorials on how to improvise I've finally headed for the right place.. The way you gradually take a musician THERE, is simply fantastic! I play bass and guitar, soloists and singers love to play with me cos I can't improvise, so I've developed a consistent way to accompany them. Now, I'll study your videos, if eventually, I'll become good at improvising and they will get rid of me, you will be responsible for that ;-)
What a great video, I'm just getting to the point where I can play the scales I've been learning consistently (I'm just an amateur who plays in his spare time), but could not for the life of me get a good melody actually flowing, and I swear that from 3:33 onwards, you opened my eyes. It's exactly what I needed to progress,. or feel like I'm progressing. Thank you very much, I'm definitely subbing! P.S.: also, 4:21, what a close encounter...
Nick. Love your tutorials, and your playingI thought of another tune with the soul scale. Chucky's in Love. Ricky Lee Jones.. All the best to you and your family. Anthony, bass player from Brighton
Great stuff! I call it the "Happy Blues" scale. Listen to Rolling Stones piano players Ian Stewart, Chuck Leavell....any blues based rock piano players. (and b5 for extra flavor of course)
Amen to this. Guitar players especially, I think (being one of them), many of whom transition from rock and natural blues, may tend to think this language just kinda comes along with them. Newsflash: Not. If anything, it's actually country players who have more of a leg up here. Anyway, if you look to keep some blues in your jazz playing (without which, why even bother 😉), it isn't gonna just happen by itself, so definitely work this material.
Nick, I subscribed...need I say more? Oh, wait a minute!! I have one editing request. You show a line which you play, and as soon as the sound of your playing it stops, boom it disappears. Because I'm playing tenor and you write out the lines in concert C, and I use my ear better than I read (though my reading is improving), it would be great if you left the line on the screen for about 1 second longer, so I could more easily pause it to study it. One second longer would help out greatly. Believe me. We have to do a lot of pausing because your videos are dense with information. I'm working hard to get these sounds under my fingers. Just learning a lot of vocabulary and idiomatic expressions. A fun language.
Keep at it. You'll eventually go viral. Congrats
thanks!
I agree !
Woooah that “slang words” metaphor with notes outside of the scale, I.E. “wrong notes” is brilliant!
You are an amazing teacher. Gracias!
Greetings from México

Outstanding conceptual delivery of some age-old, as well as, contemporary musical theories. It is all in your personal tutorial persona. Well done.
cheers!

The soul scale is the major version of the blues scale. Great lesson!

Great great video! One of the best theory lessons I've ever watched!
I call it the Rag time scale, Key of A mix the A m 7th arpeggio with the F# M 7th arpeggio and you got it, simple that way.
Great stuff! Thank you. I love it!

👏👏👏magnific
Great!
I love it
Awesome!
Geweldige les!
Great ideas. Years ago I had trouble soloing over Tuxedo Junction, so I invented this scale: C D Eb E F Gb G A Bb B C I really worked well.
What just the C major scale then?
Profile p since when are Eb, Gb & Bb in the key of Cmajor?
@@neilbarton5235 They are blue notes. Try it.
Great job ! thanks
This stuff amazing
Muy interesante, pero sería fantástico que pudieras poner subtítulos en español. Gracias.👍
Great vid!
What you got there is also the country shredders scale.
yep!
Nice vid ... dude ...
Digital applause. Thumbs up! :-)
Merci beaucoup. I'm still a Nooby, and need to practice my Arpeggios. And scales.
Why not add this?
6:36 why G# and not A flat at the first bar ?
why this is very usefull
too good
hello people, it's possible I got tablature in software edited!
Very Gershwin like.
Amanzing Help
these Pentatonix work well through a 2-5-1 progression
4:21 nice....
Inreed INVALUABLE
Would it be weird of me to think of this scale as a Dorian with an a "flatted 4th" replacing the 4th?
Nick,

Thanks! I hate long videos that are long with lot of yapping! You can always download the pdf!
cheers!
Killer sop
I’m listening to this for the sickth time
working on part 2!
Can't find the follow up video with more tones, is it yet to come?
