What i'm getting around 12:25 is that those players were playing the chord notes over hypothetical extensions of those simplified chords. Or maybe i'm wrong i don't know haha
Why is it that you can play Bm over E7? What is the theory around that?? I alway play Gm over C7 in "Honeysuckle Rose" because it sounds good but have no idea what the theory is. I just know for instance if Im playing over a dominant 7 chord i can play the minor arpegio over it starting on the 5th degree of that dominant 7 chord ( C7 = Gm arpegio)
Hi I’ll make a specific video about that again for you around September, I have a few other topics I have to cover, but I have made a note to make a custom video for you haha. I have explained this concept in quite a few previous videos but to be honest i dont remember which ones anymore haha
How do you suggest learning the chords of tunes? (I am sorry if you covered this in an earlier video) I am trying to learn from recordings (by following the bassline), but sometimes it's pretty difficult. Should I cheat and look up the real book if it becomes too difficult? How were you learning tunes when you were an intermediate level player?
i think i do talk about that in some other very recent video (I forget which one haha) but in the beginning i couldn't hear chords from recordings either so i had the fakebook and/or people who show me and sometimes explained me the meaning behind the chord progressions. From there I was able to transcribe lead lines and understand more the chord progressions. Especially when they would choose to ignore certain chords that were passing or if they used substitutions! So i definitely think it's fine to use whatever resources you have available to you in the beginning but eventually the goal is to be able to just hear them. However long that might take!
@@DenisChangMusic Thanks for your response Denis! I find that fearing the bass is somewhat tricky in jazz, as it doesn't necessarily stay on the tonic for each chord.
@@mazeofamazement You’re right about the bass, and I’ve transcribed a few basslines from those days. Sometimes the bass player plays a lot of wrong notes too! Haha. I think in the 1930s, the harmonies were simpler, and the playing style was also simple but the problem is the recording quality was not as good. Then in the late 40s onwards, when musicians started to experiment a lot more, sometimes the players were adding lots of substitutions and the bass may not always match what the pianist was doing.. That gets complicated, and that’s where you need a lot of experience to understand what’s happening
@@DenisChangMusic I see.. great to hear your viewpoint on this. (also I meant 'hearing' the bass not 'fearing' it -- though I started to 'fear' the basslines too :D) Basically, what I do these days is to try to figure out the chords myself for few days, but then I give up at one point and look at realbook / irealpro. But, I sometimes like the sound of the chords I figure out better than the ones in realbook.
wow.hey Mr.,i like your playing very much!Thanks for chairing?!!
Hey Denis
Joe here from the shredpage sharing ftp group from the early 2000s. Nice seeing you still ripping on the guitar. Hope you see this.
Love your lessons
Thanks for showing the difference in approaches.
Thanks for the video

Very good and easy to learn video denis.
Merci Denis. Vraiment super.
Thanks, Denis. There's some great sounds in there.
Many thanks

Very nice! You made such a progress during the pandemic. What did you do, that you didn't do before?
transcribed lots of Yngwie Malmsteen and Michael Angelo Batio
@@DenisChangMusic Tablature FTW :D
@@DenisChangMusic But you were transcribing all the time. What jumstarted it so much durning the last two years? Besides Malmsteen ;-)
hi denis where is the transcription and lkesson of this?
