After watching, replaying, pausing, writing some notes...transferring chords to my guitar, playing around with chord shapes and ideas...watching again...your 7.30 vid turned into 2 hours. 😄 Thank you 🙏
That's great ! I would do the same but since I can't read music so I just get frustrated everytime I see a video by jazzduets. It blows my mind off but I feel helpless to transcribe or get this material into practice. I'm a bass player and I wonder if you can share what you came up with ! Thanx
You have an incredible knack for structurring your lessons in a compact uncomplicated manner. In just 7 to 10 minutes you teach enough to keep one busy for a month and simultaneously gain a deep understanding of big picture music theory concepts that immediately stick and stay with me for a lifetime... Quite impressive indeed.
I was almost ready for you to mention the Duke maybe for another video. As there are so many great musicians. Thank you also for including Jimi Hendrix; a lot of people didn’t get it; any good improviser always takes on a musical journey, “good stuff Thanks “
I got so very, very much out of this lesson and I've been a successful music teacher for 41 years, professionally. Thank you for tithing this knowledge to us. Bless you!
Very instructive video, great job! Also, this reminded me that this same scale is first found in the melody of the bridge of Fats Waller "Honeysuckle Rose" (copyrighted in 1929), whose bars 1-2 and 5-6 are played in half notes (exactly like in the example here), while bars 3-4 and 7-8 use little rhythmic variants and just one different note, i.e. the last one (the tonic instead of the major third of the chord).
Oh my goodness! It's such a dense yet simple idea. I think I could try to chew on this notion for a decade and still not distill it as well as you have.
Hats off once more Nick ! You are an inspired musician and person generously sharing your passion love and knowledge about our loved art ! What you share is really coming from deep inside and that makes it so valuable .A whole philosophy of music and life is present in your inspiring videos . You are deeply connected man , that is so obvious ! Class , simplicity , love ...Thank you for everything the world needs people like you ... Gratefully , Ivan
Great Video! And Thank You for reminding me the FANTASTIC album 'Art Pepper +11' is ! Gonna be hearing this one a lot now and again! Cheers from Brazil!
Your videos are always fascinating and this one's no exception. I noticed that these four notes are the first four notes of the major blues scale. Which I hit upon by accident on the fiddle one day. I noticed that this scale is very cool sounding but the descending notes didn't sound that great to me. So I created something I call the 'funky' scale (though it, of course, may exist under another name). Here is the first iteration in C: (C2 = C of the next octave) C, D, Eb, E, G, A, C2 - C2, Bb, A, G, Eb, E, C. Here's another version of the descending part: C2, Bb, Gb, G, Eb, E, C
how does this go separately/complimentarily with passing chords and/or approach notes? all these jazz theories do make sense, but sometimes they sound similar for what different people had tried to explain
I always learn from your videos
I learn something from your videos
Truly excellent post .

@@kamelghozlani3895 , you can start learning how to read and write music. There is no mistery! Step by step, it gets easy. :)
I'm a guitarist, but I've never found more useful lesson in TH-cam then yours
Ditto that.
You, Sir, blow my mind every time with how clear, concise and simple your explanations are.
Marvelous work!

Your awesome dude. So much theory and work behind this. I love how you think.

Maestro ,el subtitulo español.Gracias Nick
Brill
ROUND MIDNIGHT IS MY FAVORITE!!!!!!!!
Is this derivative from a bebop minor scale? I know my trumpet teacher said it had a major and a minor 3rd
how does this go separately/complimentarily with passing chords and/or approach notes? all these jazz theories do make sense, but sometimes they sound similar for what different people had tried to explain
seems cool. but is it a 4-note scale? or some variation on a major scale or something?
👏👏👏👏👏
basically it is from blue scale.
Great and informative video!
But "Straight No Chaser" is by Thelonious Monk, not Miles Davis... ;-)
oops of course!
Where was that clarinet solo from?
Nick plays soprano SAX ! ;)
I think one time jacob collier talk about the concept of a eternal scale
