    Great lesson! I used to practice 7ths and 3ds, but I never thought of the extensions. Time to practice those, besides the 9ths sound so good to me!

    I love this daily exercise! it's a perfect routine for me to get my chord's muscle memory in both hands. Coming from guitar, I needed this for two handed coordination and theory practice. Thanks!

    Thank you I find your videos so interesting and comprehensive to understand😊 I was also considering to join membership/purchase paper publications, but where can I find the profile of this wonderful tutor in videos?

  • @skweez4D

    Fine practice technique for any tune - invites some adventurous improvisation and "side-slipping" between various guide tone lines (eg: call and response) - many thanks!

    Fun stuff. For some reason I keep thinking of Bill Evans Waltz for Debby. For some reason.

    @linping5312 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    Thank you for sharing the method! It’s very logical and effective to practice. Any tip for thinking 13th & 5th faster? It always took me a long time to calculate and react to the notes. Thanks!

    • @mDecksMusic
      @mDecksMusic  ปีที่แล้ว +1

      Tips to think faster… not really. Just accumulating enough practice hours so you don’t hVe to think anymore. It will happen

    I also have a basic question.. as a jazz piano beginner(I'm originally a classical piano player) to perform infront of small audience should I still aim to play the rootless chords/these essential target notes all by memory or am I allowed as a beginner to somehow write them down somewhere..?

  • @jameslewis7370
    @jameslewis7370 6 หลายเดือนก่อน

    so every note is substituted with the 3rd 5th and 7th of that note?

  • @rodolfoamaralguitar
    @rodolfoamaralguitar ปีที่แล้ว +1

    11:11 Actually Tension 9 (C#) would sound great over that Bm7b5

    • @mDecksMusic
      @mDecksMusic  ปีที่แล้ว

      Yes! But that implies you're targeting major. We talk a lot about the natural 9 on m7b5 chords, and how it makes a great sound when we use the bVII major triad upper structure over a m7b5.

  • @BlackG3
    @BlackG3 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    Maybe im asking a silly question but when you play the guide tone lines, the sequence starting with 3rds in the first dm7- G7-CM7 is 3-7-3-7 and so on but then in the second dm7 switch to 7-3-7-3 etc. and when the tone lines start with 7ths is 7-3-7-3 etc and once again in the second dm7 switch to 3-7-3-7 . That's the way the exercise suposed to be?. When repeated multiple times, we switch again?

    • @mDecksMusic
      @mDecksMusic  ปีที่แล้ว

      Yes. Once you've chosen a starting point the rest is pretty much set. But you can add some skips every now and then if you want.

    Do these books come with the backing tracks? If not what is a good resource for the backing tracks ?

    • @mDecksMusic

      We use Mapping Tonal Harmony Pro to create most backing tracks

      @@mDecksMusic I see how it works now. Binged a few videos. Looks amazing. Are the add-on exclusive to the device? IPad vs MacOS?

    • @mDecksMusic
      @mDecksMusic  ปีที่แล้ว

      No via apple. But if you purchase Mapping Tonal Harmony Pro for MacOS on our website I can help you activate the add-ons you bought on your iPad. (so buy the on iPad and I can help you with macOS)

    I think your videos are really great, but it's always the same, you have a high level, doyou have something basic to analyze songs, you speak as a matter of course of the five of this or the b. seven of that I do not understand yet, because I have not studied music and I have the feeling that you always assume a lot of knowledge.
    Many greetings

    This video is so on "Target"...I also tried to say the chord tones out loud as I played... messed up a bit however!

  • @markbra
    @markbra ปีที่แล้ว +1

    You said left hand did you mean right hand?

    • @mDecksMusic
      @mDecksMusic  ปีที่แล้ว +1

      I meant left hand. If you just play the two guide tones on the left hand you get the essence of the chord. Then you can improvise on the right hand. (yes, we didn't explain that very well)

  • @11kwright
    @11kwright ปีที่แล้ว

    The thing is, did all the jazz Greats learn the theory to this depth? Because part of me intuitively feels they played what they felt and things built from there. Sometimes if you have to learn things in such an “extreme” technical way means you will take forever and never be able to play jazz but you will make these companies a lot of money to live. Hmmmm!

    • @mDecksMusic
      @mDecksMusic  ปีที่แล้ว +3

      The Jazz Greats know their theory to this depth for sure. Was it “this” theory? No. Every Jazz great had their own theory. Some of it, they learned from others, another part of it by playing and studying for hours on end. Are you saying you can’t imagine Bill Evans sitting at the piano practicing things like this?
