I learned your exact chord melody of Giant Steps 2 years ago by slowing it down and copying your hands!!! I watched and learned alot from your videos... I'm incredibly grateful and want to say thank you and God love you!!!
You're very welcome! I take it that was from the "Mike Stern II-V-Is from Giant Steps" lesson? The publishers who own the rights to Giant Steps, gave me a real hard time on that one. And all I did was play it for less than 30 seconds by myself. So they said, give us all the ad revenue or take it down....If Coltrane were getting the $$ I would be happy to do so, but these execs are rolling in $ and this was fair use for educational purpose.
Thanks Richie, Great preview and a really helpful explanation; nearly getting there after only 3 views...Will take a lot longer to play through! That John Coltrane actually came up with this progression is the real lesson. Noel
Thanks Noel. The truth is I attributed the progression to Trane because he popularized it and introduced it to jazz musicians, but it was first used almost 20 years earlier, on the bridge of "Have you met Miss Jones" by Richard Rodgers. So I guess, to be fair he deserves the credit. :)
Excellent video and extremely interesting Coltrane changes.. Super similar to giant steps... This guy is doing a great job helping helping us understand the nuts and bolts of the harmonic structure.
Sorry, but as you already said (...3 or 4 players are with me...), I do not believe that this theoretical analysis will really help for better improvisation
Please do not misunderstand, I am following your lessons for many years, I am always impressed about your knowledge, but in this lesson I am completely overwhelmed;-)
@@hycus4292 Don't worry, your comments are well taken! I am well aware that this is not for everybody and several will be lost along the way...that's why I made that comment about the "3 or 4 players". However I also have more advanced viewers who ask for this information and I also want to cater to them. Having said that, it does help to improvise better over something as complex as coltrane changes, when you break it down to the cadences and the tonal principles that it is made up of. Actually, it is a lot more difficult to do so without that understanding. And yes, it can be overwhelming! It took me years to understand this... Hopefully down the road it'll make sense for you. :)

Great breakdown and illustration of Coltrane and his harmonics.
