Hearing the Big 5 Chords in 5ths by Greg Fishman
Hearing the Big 5 Chords in 5ths
In this video lesson, I introduce you to the concept of playing all of your chords in 5ths instead of the more common thirds. In other words, most people practice their chords by playing 1-3-5-7. This is still the most common way to practice the chords, but I have found from personal experience that there are huge ear training benefits achieved by practicing the chords in 5ths: 1-5-3-7.
This approach lets you first hear the main notes that the bass player would play - the root and fifth, and then you’ll hear the “color” notes of the chords which are often used in a pianist’s two-note voicing - the 3rd and the 7th.
Practicing the chords in this way will be a breath of fresh air for your ear and pay huge dividends with fresh ideas for soloing and improved technique from playing these larger intervals on the horn.

Jazz Ear Training - Hearing the location of the root, 3rd, 5th and 7th in chords
มุมมอง 8K7 หลายเดือนก่อน
This video demonstrates my system for hearing the location of a specific note in a chord. If you can already play your chords from the 1-3-5-7 ascending and 7-5-3-1 descending, this video will take you to the next level. This system has helped many of students reach a deeper level of hearing harmony, to the point where they can play a "C" and hear that note clearly in their mind's ear as the Ro...
Major 7th Interval Study with Saxophonist Greg Fishman
มุมมอง 7K9 หลายเดือนก่อน
Intervals are one of the most overlooked practice items. However, I consider them just as important as practicing scales and chords. In this video, I demonstrate my approach to practicing major 7th intervals by playing them in the cycle, both ascending and descending. This approach is great for the ear, and it will help you to recognize the interval when you hear it in melodies. Once you get th...
Greg Fishman Saxophone Lesson - Using major scales to learn intervals
มุมมอง 8K10 หลายเดือนก่อน
With this lesson, we’re going to take the familiar C major scale and use it to train the ear to hear ascending and descending intervals. This approach lets you hear the intervals within the scale in much greater detail. This is one video from Greg's 350 Video Subscription Course at: gregfishmanjazzstudios.com.
Greg Fishman's System for Creating Diminished Scales on V7b9 Chords
มุมมอง 8K11 หลายเดือนก่อน
This video demonstrates Greg's system for creating diminished scales for the V7b9 chord. If you haven't yet learned the diminished scale, or if you learned it via the traditional "half step/ whole step" approach, this system is a total game-changer! Check out this video to master your diminished scales over V7b9 chords. This is just one of more than 350 video lessons included in Greg's Video Le...
Saxophonist Greg Fishman shares his system for the bis key
มุมมอง 30K11 ปีที่แล้ว
Rico reed artist Greg Fishman shares his system for using the bis key on the saxophone. Traditionally, the side key has been taught as the preferred method of playing Bb. The bis key was accepted for use, but with the rule that the player could roll UP from the Bb bis key fingering to a B natural, but not DOWN to the Bb bis key fingering form a B natural. Also, the bis key was used more for cho...
This guy is simply the best
Fantastic.I always found that whole step half step way to be a random way of thinking of it.
Great! I'm a beginner 4 months in and wish a teacher had told me this from the beginning! Cheers!
Great lesson profesor, saludos!
This guy is the best
Meraviglia,complimenti
That's the way my sax tutor taught me 👍
I'm definitely giving this a try!
My sax tutor taught me this. Whether I'm playing on my bass guitar or a keyboard, it's the way I play. So pleasing to my ear and musically useful. No wonder a snippet ended up in "Do, a deer"!
4:01 "so that you're really hearing it..." Absolutely! This is another great lesson 👍
A seemingly simple device that unlocks lots of new sounds. I do appreciate the priority of tonal structure presented in this note order: The Root is of course the most important, the 5 is also fundamental, the 3 is the next piece of valuable information, major vs minor, and the 7 as color tone or dominant function tone. Though it’s not covered in this video, I guess the next steps would be 7-11 and 9-13.
Very good, I can't wait to practice all this tomorrow, thank you
Totally nifty approach, Greg! Thank you. Funny coincidence: This is the first time I've watched one of your videos. Got fascinated right away, and while I was listening I started hearing something familiar in your voice. I grew up in Buffalo (Go Bills!) but haven't lived there since '69, and I started thinking "This guy sounds like he's from Buffalo!" But right away, I think, "No, Wait," because, suddenly I'm hearing the Blues Bros in your voice and I think, "Chicago!" And I spend the next few minutes going back and forth, trying to hear which one it was. And all of a sudden, you're talking about the Cubbies and Chicago, and it all becomes clear. Your short "'O" is a dead giveaway. Anyway, it's good to see a Rust Belt saxman doing well. Great lesson, and Best wishes
Subscribed. I'm definitely adopting this. Not only does it put these in the ear but they're all actually musical. I'm also sure they would help for hearing the chords when transcribing as your last examples imply.
Really great modular approach. This also helps with chord change running over standards 👍🏼🙏🏼
Thank you for sharing the knowledge. Would be nice if before you end the video you would demonstrate how melodies are derived from the intervals.
☝️🎷👍🎶👏🎷🔥🎶💯🎷🔝
outstanding!
So wider intervals = a more modern style? Asking for a friend. 🤓🎷
nice indeed, makes chordtones practising way more interesting, thanks
"You can't rush the ear", so true! But I enjoy training the ear like this, thanx a lot👍
Wow! Fantastic! Thanks!
Excellent.
As a musician and sax player around your age or slightly older (I'm 61), this ranks with some of the best lessons I've ever sat through. MANY THANKS!
Thanks, Alan. So glad that you enjoyed the lesson. Please let me know if you’d like a Skype lesson with me sometime. I have so much great material like this that I can show you. I also have a full video lesson course, which is where this video came from. You can check it out on my website at: gregfishmanjazzstudios.com. All the best, Greg
Greg you are the best!!! Thanks for another great video
Greg this is killer!
A penny drop moment! Something I can just about do, but never thought about doing it! Thanks. I'll really sharpen that up.
can you link the video about four directions? i can't find out
Sorry. That video about the four directions is part of the subscription lesson course that I offer on my website. (This is a free video that I put up to show people the way that I teach in my online course). You can check the course out at my website: gregfishmanjazzstudios.com Thanks so much. Glad you enjoyed the lesson.
Great, video, Greg! Heading for the practice room now…😎
Thank you. So glad that you enjoyed the lesson. Please let me know if you’d like to do a Skype lesson sometime. Also, this was just one of more than 300 videos included in my online study course that you can access at gregfishmanjazzstudios.com. Have fun for the fifth. They are very satisfying to play.
What a great video. I've been working with this for years. Going the inversions, dividing them up into intervals is great, too. For me it also helped me to hear where to use an "enclosure", or step out of the key in a logical, melodic way. Great stuff, Mr, Fishman! Thank you!
You’re welcome. Glad that you enjoyed the video. Yes, it’s so important to have many different ways of practicing the same thing, to keep things fresh for the ear.
You just buggled my mind! I was hithertoo only mindful about the fact, that when playing any 7chord quality ascending or descending, I would hear a mix of major and minor intervals. But now you just taught me, that by playing the very same chords in 5ths, I can accustom my ear to hear a mix of perfect and diminished 5ths. This is truly advanced ear training, thank you so much. Playing through 12 x 5 qualities in 5ths is on my curriculum now 🎉
So glad that you enjoyed the lesson. Have fun working with the quart in fifths, and let me know if you’d like a Skype lesson sometime. Happy to work with you directly. Thanks.
Great lesson but a beginner needs all writen in a pdf lesson. Would you consider the idea, Master? Thank you.
Where do you enjoy the lesson. These are all written out if you subscribe to this video lesson course I have over 300 videos, and this is just one of them, and there are literally hundreds of pages of PDF practice notes that go with the videos. You can sign up at gregfishmanjazzstudios.com Thanks for watching the video !
A lovely simple concept I had never considered!
For some reason it reminds me of Stan Getz, can't wait to get into it!
Same! I thought of Pres too
I'm gonna have to watch this one a few times.
So useful as always. Thanks Greg!
very cool Greg!
This guy is the best
Oh - What is your mouthpiece and reed? Really a nice sound!!
It's the fact the Greg has a strong sound concept.
That’s a stubby Dukoff with a D’addario jazz select 2H.
This is a "delicious" concept. Sounds more angular and modern to my ear. Can't wait to 'shed on this. Thanks. LP
This is a great sound!
Very helpful thank you Greg
Where were you when I needed you like right now…Stevie Wonder 👂
Dominant 7 flat 9🤔🎶🎵🎷
Thank you Greg great lessons
Are you playing CMaj or D Dorian?
My C Major (Concert Bb Major).
Great exercise! I'm going to start this!
So glad that you enjoyed the video. Please let me know if you’d like to do some Skype lessons sometime. Great fishmanjazzstudios.com nice to meet you.
Another great exercise is to do the same thing with scales. Start with C as the tonic note, then the 2nd, then the 3rd etc. When you get to doing it as ALL 12, then you're into the altered scales, etc. (e.g. C as the b9 or #5 of the scale).
Yes. I do the same with all scales and modes.
Awesome thanks
Thanks so much Greg. Let us know next time you're in Houston!
