Really good, clearly explained and rich with information.
Bird did this all the time and it is not limited to only tritone and minor third up, you can also play minor third down giving four options for each phrase - these are what classical musicians call Bartok Substitutions. I memorised 20 ii V licks and over a long ii V you have 80 options for the first half and 80 for the second half giving you 6400 different long ii V phrases. (Actually just under 6400 since one is repeated but that is just in one key!). If you vary each phrase a bit, different starting points, rhythm and editing you have an infinite number of phrases. When I am busking I start off by picking a progression in a major key and improvise over the loop for about ten minutes using this technique. It seems to go down well with the public! Definitely worth working on, but perhaps start with half a dozen or so licks in all keys and experiment, gradually increasing the licks until this is part of your vocabulary.
Diminished family! 1 b3 b5 bb7 those subs are sick!
I noticed in the video he only transposed the lick over the second chord in the long 2 5. But it works just as well to transpose both bars?
This guy, you look like a comedian, but I love how you make Jazz seem so effortlessly learnable ...you guys have a great model that surpasses, Jamie Abersold, hal Leonard publishing, real/fake/Omni book put together ..PLEASE follow your model ,it will revolutionize Applied music education...❤❤❤❤❤
You are a genius and following you is a step into being one.
This is a great concept and I just bought the pdf and it's exciting, thanks!
Love the pun at the end
"You'll be a language MACHINE! AI will never touch us!"
This is gold thank you!
Consider "Body & Soul" as a study. Would like to hear how you approach it.
I think it's more useful to find these licks in solos you transcribe than just taking them from a book... Especially because in the original solo they have context and thus better phrasing / expression that fits the song. Whereas in books they are often generic.
Great video, really well presented. Keep it up ❤
I'm gonna buy this one.
Off topic, but your so freakin' cool. You're the guy I imagined I would be in my head starting out playing jazz. . . Didnt happen!
I’d like to point out that moving a minor third up to sub in a backdoor 2-5 sound may end up with an odd sounding forth. As your short 2-5 phrases will often have an emphasis in 4 of 1 (3 of 2), you loosing the lydian-dominant sound associated with a backdoor dominant.
Thank you again, Nathan. Great info, brilliant teaching. Oh, and did I mention “entertaining”? ✌️
So cool🎉
great video....
Hi Nathan, can you include the irealpro files for those who have the software please, we then can import it straight into the App, instead of just having the mp3 backing tracks, we also will able to speed things up, and manipulate as required, thanks in advance.... messaging from the uk.
Great
So you’re telling me that you remember 1200 phrase and can recall them in a second? But it feels like there is something else working! But seriously dig your playing
It's muscle memory.
It's the 1st step of " Lick songs " the REAL ABC of Jazz expressions, such as : A4 PATTERNS, RHYTHM CHANGES, BLUES CHANGES and lots of focused transcriptions/ transpositions internalizations
It’s not recall per se. as another professional jazz musician, let me help you understand this.
I could say, “you’re telling me you know thousands of phrases in your language and can recall them in a second? Feels like there is something else working!”
Your right! There is something else working! And the process is exactly the same for having a real time conversation. You can imagine an idea you want to express in your mind and you can just describe it. When you do that in that second, you’re not recalling all the words that you need and what order to put them in. You simply have internalized the language to the point where you don’t need to preemptively organize like that.
I know it may sound cryptic and elusive, but I can assure you, improvising jazz like this is nearly the exact same process. You can imagine the idea of a phrase and because you know so many different phrases from the past and have used them in so many different contexts. That allows you to create musical sentences that make sense in the fly just like you create verbal sentences on the fly.
This sounds good and all, but the only way you can get there is lots and LOTS of listening, transcribing, practicing, and playing with other people. All of those steps are important.
In short, consider becoming fluent in jazz improv like learning another language. If you want to truly learn it, you need to totally immerse yourself in that sound, use it yourself, and have musical conversations with others regularly.
Hope this makes sense!
The promo code is not working.
Thanks for letting us know, Becky! We just fixed it :)
@@jazzlessonvideos thank you… got it!
Thanks, Becky! Enjoy :)
you play like art pepper
I was trying this over whole forms (all of me, never be another you and sunny side of the street)
It was easier to come back to whole forms after I played over a single 2-5-1 for a week at least.
I connect thirds. I thought all chord tones were equal-ish but not really as I’ve found out.
You're three.
Mashing up a collection of memorized licks😢
