Noah explained it the formal way in terms of modes of the melodic minor, but an alternative way to view it that I personally find easier is as follows: -for the 2 half dim, go up a minor 3rd and play that melodic minor scale -for the 5 altered, go up a half step and play that melodic minor scale -for the i, play that melodic minor scale Thank you Noah for bringing this knowledge to everyone!
Oh man, you just blew my mind! I got so much more from this video than I expected! This is the first time I feel like I ‘get’ jazz a little! You just opened up so many musical possibilities to me! Also, I can clearly see the way I should go about learning theory and exercises to progress. The way you have all this knowledge available to freely flow into your playing is really impressive. I’ll have to take it baby step by baby step, but one day I hope to be on your level. Thank you so much for sharing!
Just Awesome!! Relating the scales to the chords is really beneficial as it adds to a deeper knowledge of function and opens up more possibilities. Thanks Noah!
I have the feeling that practicing melodic scales seems not enough not to get bored with the improvisation. Next step is to master the chromatisms like you did in the intro but i dunno how to practice them to obtain a relevant sound.
Love your comment. It made me think about the differences between minor and major tonalities.. My humble thoughts are as such. The usage of upper/lower neighborin notes (chromatisms), whether chromatic or diatonic, seems more effective in major bebop tunes. I personally prefer the minor sound, it free's you up, because It's more melodic and emotionally based and less restricted (abstract) than the happy Charlie Parker bebop stuff that jazz is usually called. The minor tonality jazz doesn't use a lot of that classic bebop language. In fact, most rock, metal, funk, and R^B all use the minor melodic scales, too. Hip-hop uses the minor key pretty much exclusively. And please don't forget about the blues. Anyway, those melodic minor scales also epitomized the Noir Jazz (Detective theme music) of the classic Hollywood era. 👌🏾 When improvising over minor chords, you approach things more from emotion than from adhering to all of those fancy bebop rules. You play your ideal much slower, none of that 200 bpm stuff. Imho😊. Cheers 🍻
Great lessons but the scale names are so goofy. “Locrian sharp 2” versus starting from a degree of the melodic minor scale. To me the mode names add unnecessary complexity and I doubt Charlie Parker, Joe pass, and other greats thought in that way at all

Thanks. This nugget was so useful!
Hail Noah Kellman, hail our people
, hail victory!

Wow that actually made me compose that delicate and dark ending for my valse duet! Thank you for that reminder of such modes!!!
Thanks Noah. Your lessons are out of my league but I am slowly beginning to grasp what you're up to.
Great explanation!
Noah you have serious skills!
Thanks, Brian!!
This was awesome Noah.
Thanks, Shaun!
Gqgreat stuff!
Awesome!
Fantastic!
Great video! What do you suggest for minor 2-5-1s that use non altered V7 and a im7 chord? Or with a minor 2 chord with a natural 5th instead of flat.
As always your classes are amazing
Thanks Noah!

Merci Beaucoup 🙏🎹🎼🎵🎶😏👍
5:00 the rubber meets the road. Reminded me of my hero Bill Evans 👍🏾
Great great video ,very useful Noah, i also like which scale to use with each chord video and the melodic minor modes video ,they are your best videos
Thanks Richar glad you like them!
the iim9b5 and V7alt both work for the minor ii V but I think the iim7b5 to V7b13b9 work better as the 'default' chord qualities
awesome
Thanks a lot from France ;)
You're welcome!
Thank you again for another invaluable lesson Noah! I always end up learning something new. You forgot the Discord link on the desc tho
Oh man thanks for the heads up! I just put it in.
Love from Nepal 🇳🇵🇳🇵🇳🇵
@noahkellman - Why not resolve to the i7 chord? (ie. Why play i6/9 or i-minor-major7)
(BTW - Awesome videos)
You can... and you can also play a standard V7 instead of V7#5 if you want.
Can I play G diminished 7 scale instead Abm melodic scale?
Thanks!

where are the tabs for this?
Tried to set up a call - got "Page Not Found". Not doing this anymore?
@@mrfudd13 hey, we still are but I’ll have to check the link later. For now check this out: www.neojazzacademy.com/mentorship
Isn't the melodic minor played differently when descending?
I believe it is in "classical" music but not as common in jazz
@@owleye-nuclei1401 correct!
Why Dm9 (b5) instead Dmb9 (b5)? In Cminor key is Eb instead E.
It tends to work better melodically and you avoid the minor 9th interval with the root
2:53 is that the intro of PianoPig channel ? :') ahaha
Hahaha just checked- definitely some similarities with those altered voicings :p
Español please !
Why don't you just play the 1 minor over the whole progression?
