im enjoying your advise
Sounds good to me and makes perfect sense to anyone with a basic knowledge of jazz harmony
Great Thomas! Beautiful approach to the FUN-da-mentals! hahaa
:D good one
And now you understand why " II V I " can be seen as " V I" when improvising :)
The problem I have with this video is that no explanation is being offered for the selection of the notes that follow the root of each of the chords.
Since no understanding is being conveyed, I don't find the instruction useful, unfortunately.
I get what you mean, though explaining the whole theoretical background would take quite some time and take the video in a different direction. I tried to keep this one compact and focused on the practical side. Maybe I can get around to making another video focusing more on the theory. If you want to understand it better, the knowledge you need is 1) chord tones for seventh chords, 2) open chord voicings & 3) voice leading
Thanks for replying, @@ThomasHaehnlein. I do know what the chord tones are of 7th chords and I do know and understand that the 3rd and 7th notes distinguish the quality of the tone strongly with the 5th being useful also.
However, what your video does not do is to explain why you chose the 3rd and 7th notes in the orders that you did for each of the chords.
Of course, voice-leading allows us to transition smoothly between chords. If you had simply started this it would not leave me wondering. Because you did not explain the basis for not selection, it left me guessing rather than knowing why you made the decisions to took.
After sleeping a night over it, I think you’re right! It would’ve been better if I would’ve added some theoretical background. Thanks for the feedback!
