    A motorcycle accident on October 3rd severely injured my wrist. Your pleasant videos have given me new romance with non-diatonic notes, along with fresh thinking on approaching them. You have helped me maintain my sanity as I convalesce. Thank you!

    That's weird, I came to same conclusion intuitively (but without your eloquence and concise explanation) when I was mucking around with harmonizing the major scale the other day. Those particular three notes seemed to crop up constantly. I noticed that many jazz standards have chords based on those very alterations. Also, I noticed in a lot of jazz charts subsitute the IVm for the bIV7, and i started to muck around with that too. And then a lot of the beautiful lines I have heard by jazz musicians sunk in..that's what they were doing! That's pedal progression is gorgeous! Your channel is wonderful, by the way! I also arrived at the "play a chord tone over a chord and perceive its unique quality" lesson myself...but you put it into words, into a real pedagogical tool! Now I feel validated on my jazz journey and can spread the knowledge to others - spread the jazz message. Thank you so much!

    Amazing! I realy love to listen, learn, explore like this. For the scale challange I found out, that C - G - F7 - C - F - D79 - G - C works well.

    This is awesome!!! I'm looking forward to the next installment. I'd also love to hear what you have to say about voicing chords. I try at the piano but I can never get the sonorities that you come up with in these videos on the harmonization sections.

    I loved the task at the end, even though I had some trouble with the Eb. had to change it to a D# to make a B7.
    the only way I could harmonize it with the Eb was doing Fm, G, Cm6, C7, F, D7, G, C. sounded nice but looks kinda weird. A cadence in C minor then one in C major.

    • @Tulanir1
      @Tulanir1 4 ปีที่แล้ว

      I did the following, and i thought it sounded really nice:
      C Ddim7 Am7 Em7 (Fmaj7 Fm6) D9 G7 C
      the parentheses are two eighth note beats

  • @galliumarsenide
    @galliumarsenide 6 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    Thanks a lot for this video and the assignment!
    I would harmonize it as C-G-B7-em-dm-D9(rootless)-G(7)-C. The E vs F# bit is obviously the tricky bit. Are there any other possibilities besides D9? (I tried F#7, but that seems incompatible with anything using G-D in the next chord)

    Hi! I am very like stuff, that you are making! This is your invaluable experience! And this video was very helpful for me. Thank You!
    I have a question:
    Can you make a video about hearing. Especially about absolute pitch. Is it necessary and helpful for jazz improvisation?

    • @tomaszw3735
      @tomaszw3735 6 ปีที่แล้ว

      No, yes ;)

    • @BassMeisterable
      @BassMeisterable 6 ปีที่แล้ว +5

      Relative Pitch is much, much more useful than absolute/perfect pitch

  • @LUig43
    @LUig43 6 ปีที่แล้ว

    this is a way to explain the so called bebop scales, infact the maj bebop has the b6 between 5 -6 while the dominant has the nat. 7 btw b7 and T (if u think of subdominant is the nat 3rd),,i was in a clinic with Barry Harris and he is something quite similar to what you re saying here.Great stuff, i m working on it since sometimes, and besides harmony and melody there s some rhythm develop,,because you deal with scales with 8 note, that , if you think in eighths notes fill perfectly to the bar.

  • @freshpansen6313

    Why does the chromatic line upwards in the end not contain a c# (or db)?

  • @alexdante
    @alexdante 6 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    About your descending major task, What about:
    C , G , B7, E7#9, A7#5, D9, G7, C ???
    Thank you so much for your videos.

    • @musamor75
      @musamor75 5 ปีที่แล้ว

      He covers this very same one in another video. Your last G7 ought to bear a b9- more tension.

  • @ek3773
    @ek3773 6 ปีที่แล้ว

    Is correct to call the C7 a secondary dominant too as it's the 5 of F? Or is it only referred to as a secondary dominant when approaching another 7 chord?

  • @dmitryWeirdo
    @dmitryWeirdo 6 ปีที่แล้ว

    A superb lesson, but how do you harmonize b3 and b2? :)
    Something like G7#5, G7b5 and C7b9?

    Why is your circle of fifths backwards. If we move clockwise we step in fourths starting at C

    • @peanut71968
      @peanut71968 6 ปีที่แล้ว

      BlackMath . . The "Circle of 5th's" is universally recognized and accepted when depicted in either clockwise or counterclockwise illustrations.

    • @BlackMath69
      @BlackMath69 6 ปีที่แล้ว

      That may be but the teacher starts on C and move Clockwise, which c-f is a fourth and so on. If he is moving that way should it be called a circle of fourths?

    • @dougp2917
      @dougp2917 5 ปีที่แล้ว

      In Nick's diagram, often the way Jazz musician's view the circle, counterclockwise is in ascending 5ths, and clockwise is ascending 4ths. If the circle is depicted with "F" just left of "C", then clockwise is ascending 5ths. Either way, I remember the sequence with mnemonic: "Fat Cats Going Down Alleys Eating Birds". The fourths direction is: "BEAD with a G".
