Thanks for watching our videos. We appreciate your comment, however, please keep in mind that this is only a short excerpt of a two hour video. We can assure you that watching the whole thing will answer all your questions. A lot of time, energy, and money went in to create these videos, so please understand that even though we would love to, we cannot give away all the information for free on youtube.

When he says "I'm up a half" he isn't playing B-D-F with passing tones. His line is C#-B-C#-D-F#-A#-G# so there's plenty of notes up a half from Gm7. What he does later on is explained nicely and the sax player asks all the right questions imho. He plays a II-V (Gm11- C7) and then simply raises his lines (based on dorian/mixolydian) a half step, playing Ab dorian over Gm11 etc. His comparison to bigband chords explains a lot, doesn't it? Great lesson! Love the DVD!
Thanks for the sub tips. I had been doing some by ear and not really knowing why it works but you gave me something else to think about in the shed! Im sure thinking is not why I have fun..It's the ear thing!
This is like some quantum stuff. Endless Random possibilities that make sense in any situations. Playing against the changes just opens up another dimension of possibilities. I've always like playing up a half step against the changes but the way Bergonzi explains it here gives me a broader understanding_ I want to go even further now. What a great communicator...
I'm still uncertain on this topic. So your substituting chords leading up to the V chord. Got it, but now how do you know what quality to substitute it with? Is it always Dom.7th chords? In which case you always have approaching dom. 7th chords to the target V chord of the new established key? Also, is this technique applicable to all 2-5's? Thanks for the lesson.
In the piano example he plays two-note "shells" leaving the chord quality ambiguous & allowing "up a half" to sound consonant. It would sound dissonant against the full chord (e.g., Db min Maj7 over C at 1:05). In fact when he says "I'm up a half" on G7, he actually arpeggiates the chord (B-D-F with passing tone at 1:00) in the melody. Not sure how thats "up a half"? I'd agree that the last one (B7 lick over Bb7 down in parallel to an Eb lick over Eb 1:09) has a passing quality.
Great tip, but I'm going to have to do a lot of work to figure out exactly what you're doing. In the future, instead of saying "If I play this tune and I go up a half," say something like: "I first play an Fm7, but then, instead of a Bb7, I will then play a B7, which is a half step above Bb7. I don't change the melody at all." Apparently that's not what you did. I will have to transcribe your left hand to figure out what you did. IOW, please give us more explicit info. Thanks.

I enjoy Jerry more with every lesson .He is a phenomenal player and educator.
This is a great tip! I always wondered what that "sound" was when I heard other players, now I can practice it myself!
Hard to listen to the end, already on the way to my piano!
Useful information, as always. Thanks, Jerry.
clear and concise, thanks
awesome!
Great tip
