For guitarists, be sure to learn the melody on strings 1 and 2. That way when you need (want) to add chord extensions you will have the melody note "on top."
Not looking to pick nits at all, I really enjoyed this exercise, but upon transposing to another key (Fmaj, the Dianna Krall live recorded version) I stumbled upon the finding that the movement from the IVmaj7 in bar 5 to the minor ii-v of vi that begins in bar 6, is indeed not a 4th. Better to think of bars 6 and 7 as just that, a minor ii-v of vi? Regardless, a really nice explanation...I took a look at Beautiful Love today and lo and behold seems like much of the same harmonic structure and little tricks apply to that one as well. Very helpful, thx.
Great lesson … one disagreement with the teaching method from the other Brent’s section on the chords: He talks about the Circle of “4ths” and then when going through the changes he talked about how the chords move by 4ths. Ok, technically correct, but the big harmonic gravity in so much music, esp jazz and definitely this song, is going down by 5ths not going up by 4ths. At the most basic level, we hear V to I as the more powerful cadence, not 1 to IV as the song progresses. Down a 5th, not up a 4th. I think students will understand it better by thinking of movement in 5ths, not 4ths. Disagree?
Glad to hear this; it doesn't seem too trivial, that 4ths/5ths issue. I'm not sure about the triviality in pursuing my puzzlement about up a 5 and down a five, from the top and vice versa from the bottom hits the same "one note", as one octave - the octave is the premise is 8 notes, it's not 4 (quart) plus 5 (quint). 4 plus 5 = 9, counting down and up will hit and meet at the same place? Never mind - thank you for your helpful comment! Is there a video that explains about the "circle of fourths"? Moving in 4ths to me seems like "always" stepping down from one octave higher. What would "fly me to the moon" "be" in that context... Never mind! T Thanks for letting me be bubbly at your place.
He knows and says it’s not a perfect fourth, or going the other way a perfect fifth, but in tunes that go through the cycle of fifths like this through a diatonic chord progression you’ll naturally have a b5 to stay in those diatonic chords. Also a similar thing happens in Autumn Leaves: Am D7 Gmaj7 Cmaj7 F#m7b5 B7 Em7. The song goes down a b5 from C to F# to stay diatonic, but it’s essentially the same harmonic motion you hear going through the cycle of 5ths.

Been waiting for this! Thanks so much
Thank you,Brent⭐🌹⭐
No problem!
LIST is how indian percussion is learn traditionally. An excellent method. Great video, I've wanted to learn this for ages. Thanks
Glad it helped!
gotta love that kanjira
damn, thats such an amazing explanation man, thanks for that!
Thank you!
Great tune! Sounds like Sinatra!😊
It works. At least with the LIST method, I am off book for 33 Jazz Standards. Need a little more work on the chord analysis though!! 😆
You can do it!

it's an augmented 4th
That made sense to me thanks
How is F to B a 4th? I'm confused
How is Bm a 4th of F? Bb makes more sense as a 4th.
augmented 4th
Thanks for your explanation.

Sure but that's what it's called, because F is the 4th of C, etc. Circle of 5ths goes clockwise.

Just gimme the damn music and/or tabs and I'll learn it MY way.
