julian is simply my idol. he will always simplify sophistications and bring out the creativity in you. he is not just a teacher but an inspirer. God richly bless you for your selflessness bro
Thank you so much for your kind words KG. I am so happy this video has helped already. I can't wait to post the remaining 2 parts. God bless you too and thank you for all of your encouragement, it means a lot
I absolutely agree with every word, Julian you inspire me with your beautiful sophisticated teaching, God bless you richly in your selflessness and humbleness 🙏❤️

Hey man, playing jazz piano for 2,5 years now and this tutorial blows my mind. Such an accurate build up, you can tell your many years of teaching and experience made this video one of the best tutorials out there! Thanks for making these.
Julian , means power and simplicity!i play the piano over 40 years ,and when you teach i want to start from scratch! Ihave no words to thank you enough.God bless you!!
Me, a roughly trained classical pianist coming back to piano now that there's a pandemic: My jazz piano knowledge is absolutely nil besides what I learn from Julian but I'm still excited. 💫 🤗
Thank you! It is embarrassing to say but I have wondered about these keys/progressions for many years and never tried to understand them until now. I really appreciate your concise and full explanations of the chords and progressions!
I don't own a piano but I learn your chords on guitar and it is pretty interesting to learn voicings a guitarist wouldn't typically learn because they have awkward fingerings. I really enjoy your vids man. Lots of cool stuff have come out of them
Wow, so much to unpack here. All these scale types to study, all these chords. So much to write down. I'm going to spend the next year applying what I can to Autumn Leaves, thank you so much.
just stumbled across your channel yesterday and, magically, your videos have helped me feel like everything i've been trying to learn and piece together over the past year is just falling into place. i finally feel confident enough to start writing music that i'm happy with so, thank you. you're brilliant!
this is brilliant - so easily laid out and unlike a lot of jazz videos its relatively simple to follow! ill be applying these to my own compositions!! legend!!!
Julian, great to see you back. I figured this would be basic stuff you've previously covered, but I really like the organization. The modal interchange makes way more sense than I've seen it presented elsewhere. Thanks again for all the great content!
I am a jazz guitarist, but this stuff is very good. Modal Interchange is often explained, but what to do with it - not so much. Thanks, Julian. Hope to get a keyboard at some point.
Hey Julian, great video!! I am really looking forward to your part 2 and 3! I have a quick question. What is your day job? Keep the work up!! Thanks Bye
I've been doing this online education full time for the last 7 years. It might not always seem that way, because video making is very time-consuming. This video alone took 7 full days just to edit.
This is incredible! Thanks! With all the 11ths, 13th, and out-of-key notes, how does a horn playing the root an octave higher than the piano not clash? Cheers n’ blessings! (-:
Merci beaucoup for this. I watch videos while I row for my shoulder, so sometimes I know I'm out of my pay grade. But this was easy to follow, very logical....but how the hell do you remember all that stuff? I've been playing 4 months and starting to develop hand independance, seen modes, seventh chords and I'm pretty pleased at my progress. But sitting at the piano, I need to master my basics. Once I've earned my chops, I'll know who I'll watch for going the next step up.
Hi Kelvin - it's debatable. Any chord can be found in many different scales. D minor 7 could be in C dorian, D dorian, D minor, G minor, D diminished, and on and on. We could list hundreds of scales that have D minor 7 in them. Music theory is usually simpler than that - when we go to D minor 7, we create a C dorian sound - because our ear takes into account both the C minor 7 and D minor 7 chords together - which paints a picture of C dorian.
Thank's for the video! I was just wondering whether the chord progression that you discuss at 8:27 can be equally understood as an example of a phrygian chord progression without any interchanges? As far as I can see, swtiching back and forth between a minor 7 chord and another minor 7 chord, which is one step lower, is in fact a phrygian progression because the second chord contains chracteristic phrygian tone.
Hey, i maybe have a new kind of video idea 4 you :)) I have only a 61 key digital piano and id realy like to know if you know a bunch of songs that fit between that number of keys. Maybe a compilation sort of video! This way i know imediatly which songs i am able to learn and play :))
Question: He brought up using G7 in C minor would be using the harmonic minor scale. Couldn't that also be seen as borrowing from C Major? Is there any reason why that would be C harmonic minor in particular?
Julian augmented triad can be used in harmonic minor. Like Gaug7 ( G B Eb F) in C harmonic minor) also Ebaug∆7 ( Eb G B D) in C harmonic minor. What's your take? Am I correct? Also both these chords share the same notes as augmented is symmetrical..
Hi Rishav, yes the augmented triad is found in several scales: harmonic minor, harmonic major, melodic minor, altered scale, whole-tone scale, and more. However, just because it occurs in the notes of these scales, it doesn't necessarily mean that composers will use these chords. Each scale has its own 'characteristic chords' as I call them - these are 2 or 3 or 4 chords which 'characterize' the sound of that scale. E.g. In C dorian scale, the 3 'characteristic chords' are C minor, F major, and D minor - only these chords really create the dorian sound. In general, augmented chords are quite rarely used. I mostly hear them in film music. This is my video on the modes, where I explain the 'characteristic chords' of each mode: th-cam.com/video/IF47dr8sVyE/w-d-xo.html
Is modal interchange only a chord substitution of the 4 chords in the example? Or for example, could you borrow a chord from Clydian and swap it? (I picked C lydian just as an example my theory is shoddy but just as an example)
When might you leave the modes of C altogether and instead use a mode who's root is that of the chord you are currently playing? So for example you have moved from Cmin7 to an F chord, might you choose a mode of F? Is this simply a matter of taste or are there some guides?
This may be a bit advanced but im seriously struggling. I heard this gospel song in key of E go from EMaj Bbm7b5 Asus2. Why does that passing chord work? There's no Bb/A# in E or E minor. It sounds amazing so its obviously correct but I just want to know why.

Yep he is great
You will forever go down as one of my greatest teachers
Thank you for such a wonderful comment Dylan. That means a lot
@@jazztutorial I second that, you are amazing!
This video just clearly depicts how modes could apply to minor scale. Thank you master!
This is the simplest yet most explicit explanation about modal mixture I’ve ever seen.. thanks so much for the video
Thank you so much Arthur - that means a lot. Part 2 will should be posted in the next couple of days

Finally
a jazz lesson which i understand on TH-cam
Julian, clearly explained. Thankyou
I’m only 12 secs in and my mind is blown!!!!!! Thank you! This is exactly what I’m looking for
I can imagine this being absolute nonsense to me even six months ago, but right now this is *exactly* what I needed, thank you so much!
Bruhhhhhh your lessons are very, very useful!!!!!!!!! I can quickly apply all of the techniques shown immediately to my own production!!!!!
This is gonna be a very cool series! Thanks for sharing your knowledge!
Glad to hear this Al, I can't wait to post parts 2 and 3. It covers a lot.
Sooooo jazzzzzzy. Thanks for Sharing this superb content!
Me, a roughly trained classical pianist coming back to piano now that there's a pandemic: My jazz piano knowledge is absolutely nil besides what I learn from Julian but I'm still excited. 💫 🤗
Lauren! That's great. Everything in this series will be very clear, no jazz jargon without a full explanation.
this really simplifies harmonies that sound complicated . great video
Thanks for sharing this knowledge!Mann! Ya are awesome!
My pleasure JEFinny! I love doing this - very glad it helps you
Love the graphics, they really help to follow along. 👌

The explanation on Modal Interchange was really useful! cheers :)
You are literally one of my favorite ppl at this point
That was a really excellent video - great work!

A GREAT thanks to you Julian :) for your clear pronunciation too (my english is not so good ahah!)
AWSOME
Julian, great to see you back. I figured this would be basic stuff you've previously covered, but I really like the organization. The modal interchange makes way more sense than I've seen it presented elsewhere. Thanks again for all the great content!
You are SIMPLY AWESOME SIR!!!!! THANKS SO MUCH 🎉🎉
Excited for this series! Thank you very much!
Awesome ! Useful as always. Thanks !!
Hi, this is awesome. Thank you so much!
You’re the best !!! Thank you so much 💫🙌🏾
These were just the fundamentals. The next 2 lessons will be much more exotic and sophisticated
JAZZ TUTORIAL can’t wait!!! When can we expect the release👀
Great video can’t wait for more!!
Thank you Emilio - this gives me all the energy I need to finish the remaining editing this week :)
and free content after, you’re the man 🙏🏼🤘🏼
Enjoy the sheet music! That's everything I was looking for when I starting learning jazz piano
That's amazing to me
This is really great stuff.
These are so good,helps expand your thinking of chords and makes playing funner and better,I don’t read music so these lessons are so helpful.
I am a jazz guitarist, but this stuff is very good. Modal Interchange is often explained, but what to do with it - not so much. Thanks, Julian. Hope to get a keyboard at some point.
Hi Julian, I like this summary! Hope you're doing well.
This was a fantastic explanation. Instant sub and notification bell, I can't wait for parts 2 and 3
7:30 Lol throwing in the wu tang
Oh dang, I literally just searched for this and thought it was one of your old videos but it JUST came out. I guess that's a sign. :)
Perfect timing Hakobo! This is going to be an epic series
Haha same here
Love your passion!
Excellent video! Thanks very much.
Hey Julian ! Thanks for the video, I think it might help me to get better at improvising 👏🏾👏🏾.
My pleasure Melanie, there might even be a bonus 'part 4' which goes into melody too - and which scales to play over these chords.
Wow! This is really good. Such a clear explanation. Thank you!
Thank you so much DCPI. That's what I always aim for: 'jazz piano explained CLEARLY'. I'm glad this one made sense
Hi Julian. Thanks
Thank you Irene!
PERSONA!
I love your music.
I'm a guitarrist but your lesson helped me a lot to write a song. Thank you very very much!
Well done Julian. As always, a brilliant and jam packed video lesson.
really nice start, looking forward to the rest :)
as always excellent
Exactly what I was looking for, love your content!
Thank you so much sir ❤️
oh this is gonna be useful!
Thank you very much
Just wanted to say u’r great
Wonderful
Who else caught the wu tang - Cream. Melody when he played the Dorian scale.
Excellent and highly informative video made simple for us mere mortals. Thank you and keep up the excellent work.
Thanks for the sharing, very useful!! any further tutorial on 12bar blues?
Hey Julian, great video!! I am really looking forward to your part 2 and 3!
I have a quick question.
What is your day job?
Keep the work up!!
Thanks
Bye

Any way, Great Stuff, Julian. Thumbs Up !
Hello!! Do you privately instruct?😎
Thank You so much.
Modal Interchange - I think I can reach out to the Lydians and Mixos too ... 😄
did you just casually drop some wutang at 8:15?
This is What I'm talking about !! Ok 👍👍
I love how this guy jus played “Wu tang - cream” casually n pretend like it was nothing…big up Sir!
This is incredible! Thanks! With all the 11ths, 13th, and out-of-key notes, how does a horn playing the root an octave higher than the piano not clash? Cheers n’ blessings! (-:

Can the Dmin7 also be said to have been played in the D Dorian scale? Since the notes used also belong to the D dorian scale.

Hi. Thanks for this video. You say the interchange to F7 is doric, why it is not mixolydian...the chord is major with flat 7th? Thanks

This is when I found your channel. Julian… where did you go?

@@jazztutorial thank you so much Julian for sharing. I will definitely watch it.
What would the chord tweaks be if we were playing in the relative major scale - eflat major, would they just be the same?
Is modal interchange only a chord substitution of the 4 chords in the example? Or for example, could you borrow a chord from Clydian and swap it? (I picked C lydian just as an example my theory is shoddy but just as an example)
Great info, as always. But much of this is a bit beyond my pay grade at the moment. It will be something to review down the road.

When might you leave the modes of C altogether and instead use a mode who's root is that of the chord you are currently playing?
So for example you have moved from Cmin7 to an F chord, might you choose a mode of F? Is this simply a matter of taste or are there some guides?
Where is part 3 ?

I'm wondering why you chose a minor scale instead of just looking at this as Eb major.
Couldn't download them. Is it possible you can email them to me?
8:14 ayy c.r.e.a.m by the wu tang clan
You make me want to ditch guitar and take up keys. Haha
bro played at 7:35 Wutang clan sample by mistake lol
Am I the only person that realized he rickrolled us?
