2:30: this is why chromatic “leading tones” from above work so well, particularly on bass lines. Even if the change is not specified, you are implying it. Imagine for a moment the first bar was simply G7. By using the F to E on the third beat, you’ve implied the ii7. It adds motion to otherwise static chords.
Thanks, Jamie! Working on this is exactly what I need at this point in my learning to make the changes. I do tend to get frustrated that I don't make quicker progress from the "exercise phase" to "performing phase." C'est la vie.
Wow! This is the most structured way of practising 'improvised lines'. This will keep me busy for a few weeks at least. One quick question: To apply this to a minor 2-5-1, should we use the flat-5 instead of flat-7 as a guide tone when transitioning from 2 to 5? That way we will capture the half-diminished quality of the 2 chord when transitioning.
Very well and clearly explained ..works for me ...I was kinda doing this already just from listening to records without knowing too much theory ....but for people just starting this is really gonna speed up their progress..well done you...b.t.w. I've actually taped you when you were a finalist in the" young jazz musician of the year" back in the day...sounded great then
You made my day 😂. Bebopicus Magicus. You are not only a good player but a fabulous teacher. God! I'm a long time piano jazz player and never think like this. If I knew this 20 years ago I would be a better now 😂. + your smile is a level up. Thx for the video ❤
Hey Jamie. Alto saxophonist here. I just wanted to ask if you know the Christmas song "All Alone on christmas" by Darlene Love. If not, I would highly recommend you give it a listen because it's an absolute classic. The reason I ask is because I am currently trying to figure out the notes on the alto saxophone. There is no score sheet or youtube covers on the alto sax out there. It's originally played on a tenor sax but it's not too difficult if you integrate it onto the alto sax. I am trying to learn this song for Christmas with my music band. Do you think you could play it, or make a seperate video on your youtube channel?
is there any video you explain everything we see on the screen, Gm7, C7, F triangle etc. Also those numbering; 1 3b 5 7b, then 3 7b 1 7b ... first 3b ----> became 7b i am total newbie and trying to understand, also English is my second language and learning is extra hard/time consuming Thanks for sharing your experiences, god bless
Let‘s say, if you start with the third of the ii and you go down diatonically (according obviously to the I major scale) you will automatically finish on the third of the I (very similar to your fifth example) and you will never be “wrong” (you are going through the “7ths” and “3rds” without needing to remember all the cord tones, only one major scale.)
Hey all who don't know chord tones, just follow this pattern; EGBDEFACEGBDEFAC........... So for i.e. Cmaj7 CEGB etc just apply b or# according to scale is with 👍 Nice video.

Thanks for the suggestion. Maybe, I'll add it to the list 🙏
