Fantastic, I love your rendition.
Thanks very much!
Rest in peace
Great episode, waited for this particular tune :)
Glad you like it, Simon - I've been waiting for this one too!
It seems there's a lot of possibility of good bass lines, keeping that ii V ii V as the frame work. I've heard a lot of bass players move chromatically down from the E back down to C, which makes sense as well because you get either a 3rd or 7th on each chord and is a smooth movement. Fun video, Thank you!
Hi Abraham. Yes, definitely lots of possibilities there! Esperanza Spaulding begins that section with an E when playing duet with Shorter, and I could never understand why it sounded so good until your explanation. Thanks!
what a beautiful version of the song! 😍
Thanks so much Almudena - have fun playing it yourself!
These are great lessons, thank you!
Thanks, Remy - I'm glad you like these. Have fun playing Footprints!
Hello! Great lesson!
So, the correct tension on the E7 is the 9, right? Instead the #9.
I was listening to this tune right now and I think Herbie played the natural 9 over the E7, like you did in the video.
Thank you for this great lesson!
Regards!
Thanks! As with all things in Wayne Shorter's world, the extensions, tensions, and often the chords themselves are flexible. Just go with your instincts. (For more about this concept, you may want to watch my video on Wayne's tune "Dolores.")
Hi Ron, I love these videos, I always read your blog, but had never visited this series of videos. I wanted to ask you something about this song which relates closely with something I am currently researching about harmonics. This song is in the key of C and according to my research the consonants of any key are piled up and down in fourths evenly from a fixed starting point in the 2nd degree of the key, this way up D G C F Bb Eb and this way down D A E B F# C#. In my opinion the side most consonant with the original Footprints by Wayne Shorter is the series of fourths that goes from D to Eb (the notes of the Cm pentatonic scale). Then the notes most dissonant with the original song being E B F# C#. Hope I'm right or at least not alone in this point of view. Thanks.
That sounds right, and throws light on the 4 measures near the end when Shorter goes to F#,B,E,A. Thanks for your perspective on this!
You talk a lot but, its interesting. Thank you.
Thanks markbra!!!
I saw his documentary and i believed he treats chans as his relationships with woman..Denial of attention...shorter did not pay attention to a problem, he was in DENIAL.
