Hey Yaakov, I think this is the best, most concise, least confusing, most complete, least intimidating, most encouraging rhythm changes lesson I've ever experienced! I'm familiar with all the material you presented, but I've never seen it presented so completely yet simply in one lesson. Great job!
Yaakov, your instructional videos are excellent. I have already bought 2 of your courses and both have been superb. This video about Rhythm Changes is one of the best I've seen. This has inspired me to try some new approaches that I'd not thought of before. Fantastic stuff!!
Thanks so much for your comment! What courses of mine did you learn? Please zap me an email at info@gypsyandjazz.com Just saw you blog. Beautiful playing! Cheers
He is the best teacher. He gets you inside the music and makes it fun, colorful and easy. The triad solo thing at the end is a bit more challenging than he makes it sound. But that’s ok. He makes soloing over the 1/6/2/5 pretty simple and he helps you by giving you options! You gotta have options! Then your improvising gets much more interesting and fun to play. So thank you to what’s his name in this video. Watch it twice !
This is a very unique analysis. I've studied a lot of resources on Rhythm changes, but I've never seen someone to teach this approach. This is great, thank you.
Yaakov, thanx a lot for this content...it opened up my thinking about these changes...and it took away the "fear"..... great explained and now you have a new follower ;-) regards from Germany
I've been using the Boss loop station RC-20 for about 20 years. There are new versions now. When I use backing tracks, rather than my own recorded rhythm, I just take the first thing that comes up on TH-cam. There are lots of ways to record your own rhythm. Whatever works for you is great! Enjoy playing and learning!
Excelllent lesson. A little off topic... Is improvising over tetrachords (Maqams) something you think about? I see an Oud in the background in some of your videos.
I mean the chord. I show different colors around each chord. Hope that helps. And hey, Did you hear about my upcoming La Pompe online workshop? courses.gypsyandjazz.com/courses/la-pompe-live-workshop Hope to see you!
Hello Yaakov, thanks a lot for your video. It's always a pleasure to listen to you. But I don't anderstand why you write A7 (Dom7) leads to D at 6:34. Dom7 doesn't sound good. Mim7 sound good.
A7 is the 5th degree of D. So it's the Dom7 chord in the key of D and it builds some energy that leads to D. This is the progression, You have it in all the western music. Sounds good or bad it's a matter of taste but that how it works. The Dom7 chord is always major. Hope that helps
Love your lessons!
Glad you like them!
Excellent! Thank you so much!! 🙂😎🎸🎶
Thank you too!

Thanks for the lesson, can you talk about what backing track you use also the playback system? Thanks

The nice thing about recorded lessons, right?
Always illuminating, thanks Yaakov. And some of your examples sound just like what our Gypsy hero would have done.
My pleasure. Thanks!

I play the Oud, but I don't think in maqams when I play Jazz. I wanted to work on that but didn't get to it yet... Cheers!
Great vid again ! love also some bluesy sounds !! thanks Yaakov and best wishes 2020

When you say D... And A... You mean the arpege or the scale ..? Pentatonic scale.. or major scale..? Thank you..
I mean the chord. I show different colors around each chord.
Hope that helps.

says A7 then plays A13/Bb
Great! Now you know that common and very effective variation on the A7!
