    This is really tough to follow for transposing instruments, but I can see the worth in the lesson. Thanks guys!

    Great lesson, as always! A useful follow-up could be functional voice leading from one chord to the next while still applying some/all of the rules. Maybe something for next time? Good sounding lines will come up more easily with this "trick".

    I've been wondering what standarts I should know well (and also who's version of each one), and I figured there has to be some solid playlist out there somebody could recommend. If anybody has a playlist like that I would appreciate it so much

    • @zalditoes633

      Hey so I haven’t watched the video yet so I may not be entirely sure about what you’re confused about but I’ll try to explain some things. So let’s say we’re simply soloing in the key of C major, for simplicity sakes we’re not going to change keys. The first thing to understand is what modes exactly are, and a great way to think of them is that they are just major scales, but starting on a different note of the major scale. I’ll use an example that you might be familiar with already. So we’re in the key of C and and Am chord pops up, what notes do you play? Well you may know that Am is the relative minor of C, so you simply play all of the white notes (all of the notes of Cmaj) just starting on A instead of C (by the way the minor scale is also known as the Aeolian mode). So now let’s say a G chord pops up, what notes do you play? Just the notes of C of course, just beginning on G. This would be the Mixolydian scale. I think it is better that I explain it simply like this as to not over complicate things, because really it does not need to be too complicated. Let me know if there’s anything else you’re confused about I am happy to try and help👍

    Are there sheets like this for other standards? I'm not sure what scale choices I have for All the Things You Are, especially for the minor ii V i

  • @J3unG
    @J3unG 21 день тому

    I like to keep it simple:
    PLAY IN THE KEY OF THE SONG.
    If the keys change or shift during the course of tune, play THAT.
    Simple.
    Use your ears and play interesting shit even if you have to copy from other people.
    Guys who can't read (especially the blind brothers) do this shit in real time, all the time and are not encumbered with these scale 'choices'.
    Bonus points if you learn the tune in other keys.
    I hate scale exercises and never had any use for them in all the years I've been playing, although, learning what these fucking things do does help but not by much. I can always come up with something hipper that doesn't like like a fucking algebra problem.
