Soul Scales (major Blues scale) for Improvisation - All instruments - part 1

- Pdf of exercises here: jazzduets.com/collections/exe...
This video is meant for newcomers to Jazz improvisation (but not music) who are hungry to learn and play the more 'exotic' notes that Jazz and Blues players use to express themselves that are not included in the Academic scales they perhaps already know, and who are perhaps unsure of how to approach learning and assimilating these
colourful (may be unfamiliar) sounds, especially if they are new to the Jazz Genre.
I hope by introducing these 'colourful' notes here
to share some raw material that students
can practice in creative ways.
I have included some examples of lines to whet the appetite

Keep at it. You'll eventually go viral. Congrats
thanks!
I agree !
Maaaaaan you are doing the lord's work out here in these music theory streets.
Thank you so much my brother!
I am a full-time professional pianist, and these videos are creating breakthroughs in my thinking that simplify and allow me to move more freely on the keyboard.
Thanks Maestro! You really get to the point. I am a self-taught amateur studying in an academic way and I feel like I am not able to connect with my musical brain while improvising or approaching songs. This will definitely help me a lot!
You are an amazing teacher. Gracias!
Greetings from México
it's brilliant how you offer diamond Information and you explain it in such a smart accessible way :)
cheers from Berlin :)
Easy excercise & practice Easy to understand
This man is giving such invaluable advice. It took me years of listening and studying music to grasp all the subtleties in the Jazz idiom he's teaching in just a few hours of video. You rock man, and I hope everyone appreciates your work too.
Beautiful, distilled, scale exercises. Thank you for sharing.
I've been using this note grouping for years. I just called it a major blues scale. Soul scale works for me too. Love your videos! I can't afford the pdf's right now so I take the time to write them down from the videos. You put out some great information. Thanks so much! 🙏
This channel is PURE GOLD dude!!! I couldn't be more grateful for these videos!
Ive been studying music theory and jazz on the piano for about a year, and have been really conscious of the gap between traditional theory presentation and the use of scales/theoretical ideas in a popular music context. i really appreciate your videos! i also like:

Thank you so much for all the information you are sharing mate! Keep up the good work. I wisg you lots of luck in ur life.
So grateful for these :)
VERY GOOD ...GREAT ,GREAT LESSON
Woah.
The soul scale is the major version of the blues scale. Great lesson!
This is so awesome!!
dude, fantastic videos
Amen to this. Guitar players especially, I think (being one of them), many of whom transition from rock and natural blues, may tend to think this language just kinda comes along with them. Newsflash: Not. If anything, it's actually country players who have more of a leg up here. Anyway, if you look to keep some blues in your jazz playing (without which, why even bother 😉), it isn't gonna just happen by itself, so definitely work this material.
This is an excellent lesson
Genial tutorial, thanks a Lot
4:20 is the melody from my favorite movie..... Close Encounters of the Third Kind. thank you for your great lessons
Yep, i caught that too!
Great great great thanks
Man, this content is awesome! Congratulations! I will keep following.
I am going crazy with your inspiring video I must try it on my violin....
Great lessons!
👏👏👏magnific
Awesome thanks so much 👍🏻
Great job ! thanks
loves it, thank you
Encore une fois merci
Excellent!!!
What a great video, I'm just getting to the point where I can play the scales I've been learning consistently (I'm just an amateur who plays in his spare time), but could not for the life of me get a good melody actually flowing, and I swear that from 3:33 onwards, you opened my eyes. It's exactly what I needed to progress,. or feel like I'm progressing. Thank you very much, I'm definitely subbing!
P.S.: also, 4:21, what a close encounter...
What a awesome lesson. Thank you! Big like!!!!
Geweldige les!
This stuff amazing
Another tasty pizza ! Many thanks.
You are the best pedagogue on the whole wide net...
Nick.. after having surfed the web for zillions of tutorials on how to improvise I've finally headed for the right place..
The way you gradually take a musician THERE, is simply fantastic!
I play bass and guitar, soloists and singers love to play with me cos I can't improvise, so I've developed a consistent way to accompany them. Now, I'll study your videos, if eventually, I'll become good at improvising and they will get rid of me, you will be responsible for that ;-)
I love it
Awesome!
Great editing and content, subscribed ! :)
Nick. Love your tutorials, and your playingI thought of another tune with the soul scale.
Chucky's in Love. Ricky Lee Jones.. All the best to you and your family.
Anthony, bass player from Brighton
I call it the Rag time scale, Key of A mix the A m 7th arpeggio with the F# M 7th arpeggio and you got it, simple that way.
Great vid!
Great!
Great concepts. if only I could read music...Concepts alone worth the ride..
Great stuff!
I call it the "Happy Blues" scale. Listen to Rolling Stones piano players Ian Stewart, Chuck Leavell....any blues based rock piano players. (and b5 for extra flavor of course)
why this is very usefull
Amanzing Help

< MasterFull very cOOl Educator YOU are ! I owe you, Thanks ¡ >
Very Gershwin like.
Muy interesante, pero sería fantástico que pudieras poner subtítulos en español. Gracias.👍
Hi, great video. I have some questions. Does this scale only work for major triad? Or on 7 chords as well? And does only work if the chord is pedal? Or on any diatonic, in this case F major? Thank you so much. I literally on my way to buy your bundle and doing my research before buying. Thank you again for posting so many great stuff
Great ideas. Years ago I had trouble soloing over Tuxedo Junction, so I invented this scale: C D Eb E F Gb G A Bb B C I really worked well.
What just the C major scale then?
Profile p since when are Eb, Gb & Bb in the key of Cmajor?
@@neilbarton5235 They are blue notes. Try it.
Nick,
I subscribed...need I say more? Oh, wait a minute!! I have one editing request. You show a line which you play, and as soon as the sound of your playing it stops, boom it disappears. Because I'm playing tenor and you write out the lines in concert C, and I use my ear better than I read (though my reading is improving), it would be great if you left the line on the screen for about 1 second longer, so I could more easily pause it to study it. One second longer would help out greatly. Believe me. We have to do a lot of pausing because your videos are dense with information. I'm working hard to get these sounds under my fingers. Just learning a lot of vocabulary and idiomatic expressions. A fun language.
Thanks! I hate long videos that are long with lot of yapping! You can always download the pdf!
cheers!
4:21 nice....
This is very helpful. I wonder, if there is something similar for minor progressions - to simply play the same in parallel key doesn't work. Or am I just not getting something?
Can't find the follow up video with more tones, is it yet to come?
these Pentatonix work well through a 2-5-1 progression
Merci beaucoup. I'm still a Nooby, and need to practice my Arpeggios. And scales.
Why not add this?
Bom.
I have been learning so much from this. I play this scale on the guitar. Do you have print outs I can buy? I am really interested in the pentatonic shapes and the soul scales. This is amazing stuff. Just started playing the alto sax.
cheers! look in the vid descriptions for the links! cheers
You're great man! IDEA: why don't you label each note/interval/degree in a given scale with the same color all the time?
cheers!. tried it, but some people cannot see the notes clearly on small devices so I canned it
Soul Scale = Major Blues Scale
Pretty much 😅
Major Blues Scale + Flat 7th
Any chance you could lower the volume of the wind instrument in the mix so I don't have to keep cranking up the volume on the speech parts then turn the volume down very quickly when you play the examples onscreen which are ear piercingly loud? Ta!
