0:46 Dorian Trick Explanation 4:17 Lick 1 Play Through 4:41 Lick 2 Explanation 6:14 Lick 2 Play Through 6:38 LIck 3 Explanation 7:40 Lick 3 Play Through 8:05 Summary of Lesson
After working with Scott Henderson’s Video Jazz Fusion Improvisation from 1988 I found this out: Look at the melodic minor scale as a Dorian scale with a natural 7. In a 251 progression e.g in C with the correspondig minor 251 in Am this means: Raise the C to a C#. You get: D melodic minor over Dm7, G lydian b7 over G7, Db altered over Db7 for the tritone sub. In the Am 251 you get B locrian natural 9 over Bm7/b5. So you get the 4 main applications for melodic minor just by raising the root of the parental ionian scale. Isn’t that amazing? According to Scott you can even use D mel minor over the E7 chord (not so common but possible). That’s why I call the raised 1 the Magic Note😎. Thank you for your great videos!
Very nice reference video Sandra, thank you. You sound like Joe Pass at the end where you said “Jazz is hard, why complicate it?” Joe said “If it’s too hard I don’t do it. I play something easier.” Of course his version of “too hard” and my version are worlds apart but the concept is there and you seem to grasp it also. You’re great , Sandra.
Happy New Year Sandra, I hope it’s a great one for you🎉! You’re kicking it off with some great info, beautifully articulated. I find myself anticipating what you will share as though learning a secret. You’re right - “jazz IS complicated enough”... you make it manageable for us👍😄. Thanks!
this is sport on ..and more so on the "real life" theory ... loved how you explain how the other licks work but not always due to the intervals etc .. !! great teacher great player:) greetings from australia:)
Greetings Sandra. I want to wish you all the best in 2020 and thank you for the fabulous lessons you keep posting. I also have a request for the new year-the tune Blue Monk by one of my favorite jazz pianists. I would love to hear your interpretation of it. Cheers.
hello Sandra and thanks for the tips, my question is what is the term that define scale that are similar...is it parent scales? Sorry to ask , i am new to jazz and french speaking, it will surely help me ...jazz or harmony can be overwhelming thx 🥰, love all your lessons And lastly why dont you do a video of how your learned music, why you got into it and all that jazz, we are very curious and interested...xx
Hmmm, I don't know about the scale term. Parent scale is the scale that is patent to its modes. Like C major is the parent scale for D dorian, E phrygian etc.
Looky, I made a pick shootout with a glory winner at the end :-) th-cam.com/video/bmU3-Lb5aAY/w-d-xo.html If you're interested in what gear I use and recommend, I've also made a gear and amp settings video: th-cam.com/video/-6Tylw4gf0E/w-d-xo.html Enjoy :-)
Hehe. That happens. Come back to it in a few months. It will be clearer then. It's really easy, but sometimes it takes another time or concept to understand what we learned /heard months ago. Suddenly the light bulb moment is here.
Hi Sandra, I have a possibly dumb question. I get that Dorian scale is just using C Major notes but starting and ending on D. But it seems like the heart of this lesson is laying the Dm7 arpeggio over the II, IV, V and VII. So why is the D Dorian scale emphasized or important to focus on? Can't we just explain it as using the Dm7 arpeggio (which happens to be the Dorian arpeggio) over those other chords or is there something I am missing?
In this lesson it's just the arpeggio, true. It's dorian, bc Dm7 is the second scale degree. It's easiest to learn the dorian sclae and then use It's arpeggio (Dm7), all dorian Bebop Lines and everything you know about dorian over the 5th (only if unaltered), the 7th degree (m7b5 chord) and the 4th degree. This way you don't have to learn new Bebop lines, licks etc over each mode, since some are already compatible.
@@GuitarversumSandraSherman Thanks, Sandra. So it looks like it is good to be familiar and comfortable both with the Dorian scale and with the arpeggio. Then when playing, you can think of it however you want.
Can be used as a 9sus4 or 13sus4 chord. Usually we substitute a dominant chord for another one, not a sus chord. The 3rd clashes against the 4. I User it a lot in between other dominant chord, though, but don't focus on it.
Can anyone answer these NAGGING questions: Does the chord progression determine the mode? How much so? Can you play a major mode over minor progression?? PLEASE. HELP. ME.
There are three ways a mode is being used. 1. The unsettling chord. When your in the second scale degree (like Dm7 in the key of C major) you're playing in dorian in that very moment your chord progression is on the Dm7 chord. 2. An entire chord progression can be in a mode. If your resolving (and usually your starting point) is on that chord. Ie Dm7 | G7 Vamp wir be D dorian. Although the moment you're laying /soloing over the G7 you're actually in G mixo. 3. You okay chords, usually triads over a bass oedal note. Ie: F/D G/D Am/D C/D is a D dorian chord progression, since all triads and the bass note are from the C major scale, but the bass makes your ear believe these chords are all some sort of Dm chords in the key if C, therefore D Dorian. Hope that helps! Sandra

Thank you for your great videos!
a new year, a new great lesson, thanks for all lessons 2019, they help(ed) a lot, and I'm looking forward for a great year learning what you teach.
Aaah, thank you for your lovely and encouraging words! ❤️
Thx for great explanation and examples!
Glad it's helpful 😊
This is Fun.... Thank You....and Happy New Year......Ron
Happy new year, Ron! Good to start the new year with fun 😊
Great lesson...thank you for your excellent work..
Your lessons are a step above. I know basic music theory, but most online lessons lack this kind of direct applicability. Thanks
Glad it helps you. Keep swinging 🎶 🎸
marvellously teach thanks for all Sandra.
Excellent lesson!
great lesson and tricks. Ive been looking at upper structure and triad pairs, this fits right in, cool sound...! Thanks and Happy New Year!
The triad works perfectly well too!
Feliz 2020, Sandra!!! Obrigada pelos vídeos.
Happy new year, Eliane! ❤️
Excellent video.
Now I'm thinking about others examples of this.
Happy new year
Thank you once again Sandra, happy new year and decade to you.
Thanks, Ian! Have a great new year.
You elevate our playful levels with your lessons, Ms. Sherman. Thank you for another fun exploration, and a warm Hello from Alabama, USA.
Thank you Grover! Happy new year to Alabama 🎉🎊
Thanks for this new view on the dorian scale. I often wondered, why some pros say "It's all dorian".
Yuo, I'm definitely one of them 😁
awesome video lesson! thank you.
Glad you like it! Keep swinging 😊
happy New Year, Sandra
very short your videos, are very good
thank you for this "tricky" lesson
Very nice reference video Sandra, thank you. You sound like Joe Pass at the end where you said “Jazz is hard, why complicate it?” Joe said “If it’s too hard I don’t do it. I play something easier.” Of course his version of “too hard” and my version are worlds apart but the concept is there and you seem to grasp it also. You’re great , Sandra.
I'm a firm believer in "easy" 😊
Thanks again!
Glad it helps, Bobby!
Hi Sandy, I found this lesson really useful realting to the diatonic chord scale. Thanks for a brilliant well explained session Sibbs
Thank you, David! Glad to be of help. Stay safe ❤️
Thank you for the great lessons! You are very thorough.
Thank you, John. I don't know what "thorough" means, but I'm assuming it's something good 😊
@@GuitarversumSandraSherman Yes, it means you are very clear & instructive... : )
@@GuitarversumSandraSherman Of course it's good! : )

Thanks so much, Archie ❤️
Happy new year from Corsica Island Sandra
Oh, I love Corsica
Would love to hear your take on Desafinado. Chord melody style. Wanting to learn this I came here first. Love what you do. Please consider, thnx!
Sure, Desafinado is already on my list 😊
Greetings Sandra. I want to wish you all the best in 2020 and thank you for the fabulous lessons you keep posting. I also have a request for the new year-the tune Blue Monk by one of my favorite jazz pianists. I would love to hear your interpretation of it. Cheers.
Happy new year! Blue M8nk is a good suggestion, that's not on my list yet. Thanks!
Please one video about melodic minor!!! Please!!! Congrats from Brasil!!
I will do that!

@@GuitarversumSandraSherman Thanks, Sandra. So it looks like it is good to be familiar and comfortable both with the Dorian scale and with the arpeggio. Then when playing, you can think of it however you want.
For years I have been hearing people say that one should avoid the 11th on a dominant chord. Not true. There are great lines that emphasize the 11th.
Can be used as a 9sus4 or 13sus4 chord. Usually we substitute a dominant chord for another one, not a sus chord. The 3rd clashes against the 4. I User it a lot in between other dominant chord, though, but don't focus on it.
Guitarversum Sandra Sherman
I can play you so great lines that emphasize the 11th.
Indifference valse ?
