So true Chad...never really thought about it, but us guitarists must know the chord progression of a tune when learning it for the first time -- our challenge is having that song melody under our fingers!!
Such a good Instructor! 1) Knows A LOT 2) Explains perfect and to the point 3) Is Generous sharing knowledge. Chad, I promise when I have some cash coming in, I'll buy many of your books!
Thanks for this, I've been looking for a solution to the problem you addressed but everything is so vague on the internet. This is exactly what I needed
Chad you are at the level of Richard Feynman in your ability to explain these musical topics, so very clear and to the point and i truly have to say it is outstanding . Furthermore, you are the most interesting saxophone player on the planet today! Thank you and stay very very safe !
I love your organized approach to learning and teaching jazz, I went to college for music and was classically trained to be able to follow this video. What a splendid job. I just bought your 2-5-1 pdf and can’t wait to start shedding!
So informative. Thank you! I downloaded the standards package a while back on the JLV website and it’s been really helping my playing develop. I can feel the growth after just a few months. Thanks for making these materials!
It would have been helpful to hear your thoughts on choosing the "right" scale for some of these chords. It seems in some cases any number of options exists. For example your minor chord scales seem to be dorian, even thought you could have perhaps chosen a diatonic mode for the A-7 scale (phrygian) and D-7 (aeolian). I'm still just starting in jazz theory, so I wonder if it is simply "standard" to play all minor chords as dorian? Is this done to add color or to simplify things or for some other reason? Appreciating your generosity in sharing these with us.
Thank you so much Chad..👍A real good analysis in approaching Jazz in these 3 different steps though a little unwieldy and time consuming.. Nevertheless, a very useful tips..👏 Warm cheers 😊 God bless 🙏🎸🎶😊
Hi Chad. I've purchased most of your material and appreciate your efforts. There is some duplication of tunes with this publication and 4 Tune Learning Exercises.
Hi David, thanks for getting the downloads! Hope you’re enjoying the material. Yes, it’s totally different content so we used some of the same standard chord progressions in both packages.
Great material, thank you! Question: when practicing a D7b9 chord shouldn't we also add the 9th? and the 11th on Eb7#11? I see in the first example you just have 1-3-5-7 for each chord.
I'm pretty sure You cover this matter in Your books or other videos but I think we should consider also tunes where You have chords not in tonality - think of Strollin by Horace Silver or Milestones by John Lewis. In order not only to understand but to memorize those chord progressions more easily, I search for one of those things in the triads (forget the bass :-): 1. it is a chord +5 semitones above (it could be a part of a ii V I); 2. it is a change of species of the chord, e.g. from maj7 to m7, or from maj7 to altered chord so You get the tritone; 3. it is a slipped chord: - 1, +1; e.g. Cm7 to Bm7 4. a combination of the above, e.g. Cm7 to Dm7 because You can think like it was Eb6 to Dm7 (but also like Cm7 to F6, i.e. ii V); Eb7 to F#m7 (=A6, i.e. a tritone substition).
Look at this beautiful blue-eyed man (no homo). I see a typo already though.. maybe you'll be able to fix it? 4th line, second measure, you put a B flat in the G7 chord.
Chad I down loaded your tune análisis and first tune I looked at was Ellington's Prelude To A Kiss and noted that on your roman numeral análisis that on bar 6 of the tune we have a B-7 to an E7 while in the key of D.. you have the B-7 labeled as vi-7 which is fine but the E7 you have as V7/ii would it not be V7 of V? Thanks..
an eye opener that combining the ear training and the roman numeral with ear training.. I have a question though about the SubV7/iii - E7 in bar 28. Why is it not just V7/iii .. can anyone help me understand ?
I like how he assumes we want him to skim over the touring with Randy Brecker stuff lol. There's no time limit on a TH-cam video anymore, tell us everything lol!
MIguel Garnica a pianist would more likely use Dorian in their voicing of both of those chords, so we wrote the scale choices as such. However, yes Phrygian and Aeolian do both sound great as alternative options for the soloist in the places you’re specifying. Neither choice is right or wrong, just multiple options sometimes :)
⚠️ I like these videos but here are some warnings about practicing scales: 1. there are often more than 7 colors that can be played on a chord (around 12😊), but especially on Dominant 7th chords 2. Single note melodies do not always fully agree with the chords (they often do, but it's not a rule) 3. Many great improv ideas often involve briefly ignoring the bar lines and creating independent musical motion by delaying or anticipating Harmonic resolutions

I just wanna say Im a highschool woodwind player and you're a big inspiration for me when it comes to jazz I transcribe a lot of your stuff
Nice man. You’ve come to the right place. Keep up the good work 🎶
So true Chad...never really thought about it, but us guitarists must know the chord progression of a tune when learning it for the first time -- our challenge is having that song melody under our fingers!!
Thanks for this , you do a lot to help growing players 🎷👏🏾 So much information on your channel

I went to Litchfield jazz camp last year. And I went and played in the festival. I wish I saw you there
Thank you Chad!
At times you can stumble upon theory through using your ears. Knowing the theory helps to understand and apply what you hear.
It would have been helpful to hear your thoughts on choosing the "right" scale for some of these chords. It seems in some cases any number of options exists. For example your minor chord scales seem to be dorian, even thought you could have perhaps chosen a diatonic mode for the A-7 scale (phrygian) and D-7 (aeolian).

Days of drinks and flowers, my favourite
Hi Chad, this is a great package, thanks! I did notice however that the "roman numeral analysis" for "The Girl From Brazil" is missing
Hello Chad, thank you for great lessons. Could you make a lesson about your warm ups for sound development. It would be great.
Thanks man so useful
Thank you so much Chad..👍A real good analysis in approaching Jazz in these 3 different steps though a little unwieldy and time consuming.. Nevertheless, a very useful tips..👏 Warm cheers 😊 God bless 🙏🎸🎶😊
and how about the Eb7 in bar 2, could that be seen as a SubV7/Vi ?
Muchas Gracias !
This rocks Charlie B. I just bought this, to use it during my lessons.

Excelent MASTER.
How do you figure out chord progressions on the spot? That's really where ear-training comes into play.
I'm pretty sure You cover this matter in Your books or other videos but I think we should consider also tunes where You have chords not in tonality - think of Strollin by Horace Silver or Milestones by John Lewis.
In order not only to understand but to memorize those chord progressions more easily, I search for one of those things in the triads (forget the bass :-):

CHad!REALLY COOL VIDEOS!KEEP IT!!!
Is that Eb7#11 in the second bar like substitute for C7`? So Eb7 is backdoor dominant?Did i understand wrong?:)
Are you coming to Nashville TN?
Great, thanks! Isn't the V/ii typically harmonic minor of ii (Bb instead of B in measure 4)?
Look at this beautiful blue-eyed man (no homo).
I see a typo already though.. maybe you'll be able to fix it? 4th line, second measure, you put a B flat in the G7 chord.
It won't affect too much either, just a #9 like on any altered dominant 7 chord. ^^
Whoa, what a nice fella.
Yes he is 😁
Chad I down loaded your tune análisis and first tune I looked at was Ellington's Prelude To A Kiss and noted that on your roman numeral análisis that on bar 6 of the tune we have a B-7 to an E7 while in the key of D.. you have the B-7 labeled as vi-7 which is fine but the E7 you have as V7/ii would it not be V7 of V? Thanks..
Yes, this is a secondary ii-V, essentially V of V (you can always add a related ii-7 or remove it and play V7 of...).
I'm you biggest fan hahaha
an eye opener that combining the ear training and the roman numeral with ear training.. I have a question though about the SubV7/iii - E7 in bar 28. Why is it not just V7/iii .. can anyone help me understand ?

unfortunately settings do not work - so I could switch to German, can you change that?
The 6th bar of B section of "days of wine" tune, the G7 should've been with B natural instead of B flat right? ;)
Not necessarily; if he’s hitting the #9 A#=Bb) that’s a very hip note.
leider funktioniert Einstellungen nicht - damit könnte ich auf deutsche Sprache umstellen.Kannst du das ändern?
How come all the names are slightly off like Donna Lea or Bye Bye Bluebird?
‘Huh, how are you using your ears?’ 😂
Hi Chad,thanks for video
When are you going to Russia(St.Petersburg)???
I toured through there last year! Hopefully back soon.
Chad I play guitar but also alto sax, do I have to buy both versions? 😭(Sorry for the question)
Y O U H A V E TO ! ! !
You’re a clever dude.
The Days Of Wine Red Noses.
😍
mmmm. Am is Phrygian not Dorian. And Dm is Aeolian not Dorian
MIguel Garnica a pianist would more likely use Dorian in their voicing of both of those chords, so we wrote the scale choices as such. However, yes Phrygian and Aeolian do both sound great as alternative options for the soloist in the places you’re specifying. Neither choice is right or wrong, just multiple options sometimes :)
@@ChadLefkowitzBrown Thank you Chad.
the shedding fear is real
⚠️ I like these videos but here are some warnings about practicing scales:
1. there are often more than 7 colors that can be played on a chord (around 12😊), but especially on Dominant 7th chords
2. Single note melodies do not always fully agree with the chords (they often do, but it's not a rule)
3. Many great improv ideas often involve briefly ignoring the bar lines and creating independent musical motion by delaying or anticipating Harmonic resolutions
Yes I agree with you but at the same time it's good to know this FIRST before playing anything OUT/TENSION because THEN, you will know the context.
why is it a warning? do you think people should not practice scales?
the faces starting on 09:50 are hilarius
NOT REALLY WORKIN'
Thank you, Chad!!!
