Awesome lesson. I've been doing triads quite a while now, but I think voice leading is the next level to really connect the dots harmonically. Thank you so much for this.
I have been trying to conceptualize how to move beyond playing just the key for so long. Not just this video, but much of your content has been really helpful in clarifying how playing the changes works. Your content sits a few years beyond my skill level and while I can't really apply this stuff yet, I feel less aimless about where I'm trying to get to. Thanks man.
For decades I've described playing changes as being surrounded by typewriters with utterly different keyboard layouts. I like the canvases analogy too.
Dude… 😂 the harmonic “systems” concept is such an intellectual breakthrough for me! I have no idea why all these years I was limited to thinking 4-note chords are the most complex harmonic system. Btw, this answers another question I asked on Patreon and why you see modes as harmonic systems as each chord passes 🤯
Wow respect for jazz improvisers just shot up! I guess the first step is to be able to take a chord and immediately have the notes in it light up on the fretboard without hesitating/thinking. I just tried it......fail! Something to work on.
Your analogy of a painter with a moving canvas is the best I have heard. Very clear explanation and a key takeaway is to slow down the tempo and play through the changes moving to the closest neighboring tone as the chord changes. I had the privilege of meeting Joe Pass and I would agree with another comment that was posted about the accuracy of your impression! Thank you for trying to shed light on what is arguably one of the most challenging concepts for aspiring jazzers to master.
My face melts in a good way.. ¿CAN WE GET A LESSON WHERE YOU TALK ABOUT THE FIRST NOTE OF THE FRASE? Please❤ tell us about the pre nut. Is It different and why?
My biggest gap is understanding which mode to pull from when. For example, how did you arrive at E phrygian dominant instead of mixolydian and F lydian instead F ionian etc?
There's a video on our channel called The Final Year at Berklee or something like that. That video covers how to deduce modes for dominant chords. We're planning on making a comprehensive video on mode choices in the future.
Thanks for that explanation, I really like this concept of "harmonic system". Q: Should I also look for target tones while practicing voice leading? for example start each chord at the closest third, or fifth or whatever note I target. or do I just work leading into whatever note from the other harmonic system is nearby?
Killer video. One big question, what drove your scale choices, especially on the E7 and F-7. Really easy to fall into mixolydian or dorian respectively and you choices were much cooler
wow i just got another AHA moment from your channel i knew that modes were relative to a tonal center, and i was aware of chord scale theory, but i still couldnt make the connection of using the modal scale to imply the scale degrees and the changes, as if it were a 7 note arpeggio for that particular scale degree i have consumed hundreds of hours of youtube videos teaching modes only from that perspective of playing over a 2 chord vamp, or shredding the modal scale over a drone/pedal tone
Im 33 and im probably a rare case of someone who started olaying profesionaly in tejir late 20's .. one thing i wonder is why the b string half step down. What are your thoughts? I feel if id of known better i would of tuned in all 4ths. Det dani has some killer thoughts about this. I know that the e strings blablabcoincide, but for jazz wouldnt it be better all 4ths.. are we stuck doing the tuning cause we where taougjt that way.. not a lot of info about this out their.. Love this channel, best teacher
@@pablor6837 many players now do all 4ths so you’re not alone in thinking it’s a good idea. I would personally think that changing tunings is a bad idea. There is a whole history of giants that used this tuning and you can teach yourself to see what they saw. Playing music is not exclusively about envisioning melody, there is a whole motion mechanics side to it and these guys figured out a lot of moves with patterns and harmony that are specific to standard tuning. To be a student of these dudes it’s easier to approach it with the same tuning they used. Also, position playing (which is the main tool to organize scales on the fretboard) is base on the two octave shape between the high and low E strings. Caged is completely based on open chord grips and I would know how to begin to see chord changes without it. With that said, I saw some guys use it and sound great but non of them did anything that made it seem worth while.
Dani thanks for another great video. Hope it will find young guitarists and help them establish the foundamental skill. What gear do you use, bu the way? It always feels like you have a real amp in the room
No one on the internet explains how to solo as well as you for me. You've literally changed my life.
Hopefully for the better, Matt... Thanks for checking out the lesson!

You're the only one on the web explaining those things in such details.
Couldn’t be more grateful to call this dude my teacher.
I call this dude my teacher's competition.
As a novice guitar teacher i am amazed how you are able to explain these concepts so simply and accessibly

That Guitar is so sick, mad props to whoever did the art
That's why Brian May's solo is so melodic👍
Same here I am no longer lost on subject amazing Marbin the great
Glad to hear!
Turn off where you are and turn on the next one. Exactly! Love that analogy.
You are an amazing teacher. No BS just the important stuff. I love it and thank you so much.
Wow, thank you! Join the patron

I do a lot of that type of practicing, but again to articulate it the way you do puts a piece of the puzzle together. Thank you again.
Awesome! Keep it up!

Please make more of these videos that you don’t need to be an advanced player to grasp.
Giving out a college education for free, thanks so much for the amazing content!
Dude this is amazing, I’m subbed to the Pateron. I can confirm content over there is also fire.
Thanks bro
What a beautiful progression to use as an example. The FM to fm pulls at my heart strings every time.
You are better than my 2nd grade guitar teacher. Luv ya bro
Dude you're a godsend

Another great lesson.
Great lesson my friend !
Some lights switched on now, thanks for demystifying
Pure gold
This guys cookin
Amazing lesson, thanks!
nice tone
So well explained. I love your videos.
Thanks for the kind words. Lots more to come!

Yes, I really like your style and your content.
Many thanks for this fantastic lesson !
you are like the Smoking Golfer channel for guitar.
Love your vids, fun yet serious
One of your best videos. You really explain things well. Easy to understand and implement. Cheers
Nice info...
This is insanely helpful, thank you
Nice
Nice. Hotel California is another good study.
Great video. Thanks for sharing

outstanding
Many thanks for this awesome video! I did not understand why using E phrygian over the E7, why prefer the E phrygian to the E mixolidyan?

Thanks for this video 👍
Thanks for checking it out, Lenny. 🙌🏼
I really like the simplicity of 3 Major and then one Minor chord progression. Do you have some others like them? To try
wow i just got another AHA moment from your channel

Wow
It‘s similar like playing over chord change?

There is no such thing as "the best" educational guitar content on youtu.........

Where is this on your patreon?

Thanks for the kind words. We've been using a fractal fm9 primarily for the past few months of videos
Great Video as usual. Your Joe Pass impression is dead on. 🤣🤣🤣

Tyler....the weirdest headstock in the world.
Do you do private lessons? Maybe you have an email i could inquire through?
Danihrabin@gmail.com
You can actually see the notes . Correct. But it is like perspective from an artist painting it is inate at core
🧠🧠🧠
Now thats a guitar...All ya gotta do is stand on stage and dont even need to know how to play...stage ready...
I am no longer ignorant to the meaning of voice leading!
That is wonderful news Greg!
