Very helpful video thanks! Can you explain the shift from F# to F as a diatonic approach tone when playing the Eb7 in the key of G? I get that it is less than a whole tone from the chord tones of Eb and G, but why does it not "clash" with the key of the song given that F# is the major 7th of G? I understand how F# is a chromatic approach tone, but not why it cannot be a diatonic approach tone (or maybe how F can be given its just the 7th and not in the G major scale).
Ritchie when I teach a beginning Jazz guitar student, I start them off with the parent scale of each section of a tune. Then I move on to arpeggios. if that makes senses. :)
What I didn’t get, with the Eb arpeggio, is where the key of G came from! Where does an Eb chord or arpeggio occur in the context of a G major scale? Sometimes an Eb7 will preceded a D7, then usually resolve to G.
I believe you are misunderstanding what I said and thinking in a totally different context. To summarize, I explained how to determine the scale, arpeggio and approach notes of a non diatonic chord (Eb7) when using it in the key of G. Eb arpeggio doesn't occur in a G major scale, nor did I say that. I'm not talking about what chord precedes or follows Eb7 in the key of G. I'm isolating it and demonstrating how the notes of its scale (the lydian b7) are derived when it is used in the key of G. That said, the same Eb7 will not necessarily employ a lydian b7 in the context of a different key.
Thanks for all your great videos! quick question though why is the F natural considered diatonic in the key of G? Are you thinking of it as diatonic to the key of Eb?
I think he's applying his rule that the inserted note, F in this case, should not create an interval greater than a major 2nd in the scale comprising the Eb7 arpeggio. Therefore, between Eb and G, there is only one choice, which is the F. The E natural and the F# (or Gb) would create minor 3rd intervals. So, the F is not diatonic to G major, but it is the only choice, and it sounds ok when playing over an Eb7 chord that is followed by a Gmaj7 chord.
Thanks for the lesson! Plenty to think about. Can I ask a question to better my understanding? Wouldn't an e flat dominant 7 chord in the key of G be a non-diatonic chord?
@@toplaybass he answers it in a previous post. It’s a tritone substitution that resolves down. The Lydian dominant scale is the fourth mode of the melodic minor scale. So the Eb7 comes from the Bb melodic minor i think.
Great channel! Talking about chord tones, some author considers that the 7th is not really a stable tone (specially in the I function chord). What do you think?
Thanks Rodolfo! I have to agree that the maj 7th can be unstable, specially in 1st inversion where a minor second is formed between the 2 top voices the 7th and the root.
its great stuff, just the diareara greens and colors dont work my friend, the video film making elements follow laws of color and visual texture in the same fashion as sound. sorry i have to be honest but your content and personality is great id be honored if you were my family.
A wealth of information!!!
You are so generous and an excellent musician and teacher! Thank you so much and blessings!
Thank you kindly, much appreciated!
I used to wonder what mode or scale to use over a chord all the time.
Now I have the answer .
I bookmarked this video. Fantastic eye-opener for a rock guitar guy trying to learn jazz.
I like that the reference graphic to math showed the most beautiful equation in mathematics. Whether intentional or not, it was well played.
The information about Slominski was very interesting

Thanks for watching!

Thank you for the lessons. Definitely improving my vocabulary .
My pleasure...thanks for watching!
Thanks so much Richie! Really a great channel! Keep the positive vibes Flowin...
Thanks Beck, much appreciated!
😭😭... this is going to take forever..😭😭😭
Love your style of teaching! Subscribed :)
WOW, I was not familiar with this particular approach. Great background information and breakdown, lots to consider here. Thank You...!
man such an awesome playlist here to learn from😍
Thanks Richie! A little over my head, but how will I learn if I don't get challenged?
Would you agree that minor keys are best suited for Sharp accidentals while Majors for flats?
Thanks!
Very valuable information
Glad it was helpful!
This is a great channel. Thanks
Richie, did slonimsky consider putting a note or two above, below and between the principal tones?
Why do you ask me this???

Great video - very clear explanation
I'm glad i found your channel!
Thank you Richie!!! you are always the best!!!
Thanks for your support and encouragement!!
Finally a great Channel with the real deal thank you. How can i buy the lesson im in peru
Gracias Luis....yo tambien soy Peruano..bebopguitar.richiezellon.com

Yes...
Good Question but not much of an answer was given. if yes, please explain how Eb7 connects with key of G. could a modulation have happened?

Great stuff but way above my pay grade. I will come back to this in a year.
What guitar are you using? The tone sounds so warm!
That's a Heritage 535
Eflat7 in a G major key? I'm thinking 'Out of Nowhere'.
Sure! It's the tritone sub of A7
Why is there an Eb7 arpeggio in the key of G?
Can you please tell me where that is in the video? That way I can give you an answer in context. :)
@@RichieZellon around 5:40
@@hugoc.5082 Eb7 is the substitute V7/V7 (tritone substitute of A7) in the key of G. It resolves half step down to D7.
@@RichieZellon Ah, I would probably need some background on that before tackling this 😅
is the key G or Eb?
It is the use of an Eb7 in the key of G major.
So basically your playing the mode but not in sequence.
