    I loved the nugget of Jazz chords mostly dropping or replacing the 5th. That is always something that bugged me as I pictured Jazz chords as having too many components if using all their notes.

      It would make it hard to play a 13th chord on a 6-string guitar otherwise. 8-)
      The Schillinger System of Musical Composition (which Berklee teaches) suggests making a 4-part ninth chord consist of the just the root, 3, 7, and 9, even for "classical" music.

    I happily played minor pentatonic and a bit of Dorian for several decades before deciding to learn a bit more theory during lockdown. I was surprised how much jazz uses the melodic minor and its modes, the altered scale being a classic example (the 7th mode of the melodic minor, or 'super Locrian' which is the coolest name for a scale). Stick some altered licks over a dominant chord and boom, welcome to Jazz Club.....NICE!
    In fact, almost all of the jazz minor modes are interesting. Dorian b2 is one of my favourites, and Lydian augmented is definitely all the 'wrong notes'. 😂

    I wonder if you could do a fuller lesson on this basic Jazz theory? It genuinely interests me. I would like a short explanation of the difference between the two styles you mentioned,early 20th Century Jazz and Jazz fusion too. Grazie Professore.

    I agree that extended chords constitute a common characteristic of jazz. These provide a greater number of creative options to the musician and augment one's voicing toolbox. I admire how many jazz musicians can improvise solos that sound great, and like contemporary jazz influenced pieces and arrangements. By the way, I always feel like a chord progression must go through the dominant 7th to return to the 1 chord... what other options exist for this?

    I usually love your 'classroom' like videos, hot the phone recordings, the shorts, ever notice the extreme difference between the view counts on the classroom videos, and the little phone shorts? no comparison, I think it's apparent which of these people like best.. :( and I use 4s tuning exclusively, the concepts are very good, I love them, been watching them for years. Just miss the interractions with you.. ;((

    Simple trick to sound jazzier:
    1. Play a wrong note.
    2. Do it again.
    "Jazz is a style built on mistakes."

      Q: What's the difference between a rock guitarist and a jazz guitarist?
      A: The rock guitarist plays three chords to ten thousand people. The jazz guitarist plays ten thousand chords to three people.
      4:06 Playing the 9th next to the 3rd is what Steely Dan calls a "mu" chord.

      Was that a Spinal Tap reference? Bonus points. I love that scene where they dicuss jazz. Why do they play so quietly, what are they afraid of? It's cos it's all mistakes 😂

    • @christopherheckman7957
      @christopherheckman7957 4 місяці тому

      @@VirtualModular It's based on older jokes than Spinal Tap (although thanks for spotting the additional reference!). The first one is: "If you play a wrong note once, it's a mistake; if you play it twice, it's jazz."
      The rock guitarist / jazz guitarist is another old joke.
      The quotation about jazz being a style built on mistakes comes from another Tommaso Zillio video.
      Can I insult jazz one more time? Okay. Frank Zappa once said at a concert, "Jazz is not dead. It just smells funny."

      And what if somebody ask you "but how exactly do you jazz it up"? I mean, clearly to sound more jazz you need to jazz it up, but it's not a useful explanation.
