Hey, I decided to record this for one of our JazzMentl tribe. I was leaving the house, went back inside, and decided to record this pretty quickly. I hope this helps! - Paul
I'm not a piano player, guitar is my thing, but I can read the piano fairly well. This is enlightening, too many guitar vids get carried away with guitar, licks, patterns, arps ect, instead of giving you info so you can work it out. Thanks
Thanks Logan. It's a slow crawl to build a TH-cam Channel. We are in week 7 now and produce 1 video per day. It's more work than I bargained for, but for the most part I enjoy it. I'm still wondering what type of content folks really want, so I'm offering a sampling to see what sticks. This channel is not for beginners at all, so I'm hoping to get feedback from subscribers as to what they really need. Lots of A/B testing of the audience right now. I appreciate you taking the time to give a few words of encouragement! Thank you.
Haven't got time to listen all the way through ...but sounds good what I've heard...maybe you should say why that particular tritone sub works...apologies if you have mentioned this later...but good stuff though 🙂🙂🙂🙂
Yes, if you're using a be-bop scale over a 7th chord the extra note is the natural 7th. It acts as a passing note to even out the scale at 8 notes instead of 7. For more information about be-bop scales try this video... th-cam.com/video/8ua-nN0eE_I/w-d-xo.html
Are you living in Dubai? I was the opening act for the 1st jazz club in the UAE, which was in the Hilton in Dubai. Then I was the opening act for Hemmingways Jazz Club in Abu Dhabi. Great times!!! I miss Dubai. Thanks for leaving some love! ☺
I don't think he's correct. He says play the tritone sub of the dominant seventh of the key he's in. He's talking about d minor and the tritone sub is Eb7. Does he mean go to the dominant seventh a step down? Or does he mean Eb7??
Actually I think you might be a little confused, let me clarify a bit. If the key of the moment is c then the dominant chord is G7. D Dorian or d minor is part of that key of the moment which means that if you are in d Minor the dominant chord is G7. Why? Because you have to think of it like a II V I in C. Therefore the tritone substitution for G7 is Db7. If that is still not clear, please let me know.
@@Jazzmentl Thank you for your reply! I think I understand now. I was confused because I thought we were in the key of D minor. But you were referring to the D as a II chord resolving to C. Am I correct?
Well actually you’re quite right. The gravity is pulling towards D minor so claiming that it’s the IIm7 of C is sort of a theoretical approach rather than what the feel of the key is. You can have brilliant fun with Eb7#11 just as well.
Right on! It's not the first time I hear it. You'll find the newer videos slowed down...and better produced to adjust for this feedback. This was an earlier video... I'm getting better at this TH-cam thing😉

Huh...Good to know! I appreciate your feedback 🙂
Please keep up the good work. These videos are high quality and the subscribers will eventually start to come.

That information is very important, some any document?
This is super helpful! Do you play eight note scale adding the major 7 on D flat 7?
Yes, if you're using a be-bop scale over a 7th chord the extra note is the natural 7th. It acts as a passing note to even out the scale at 8 notes instead of 7. For more information about be-bop scales try this video... th-cam.com/video/8ua-nN0eE_I/w-d-xo.html
How are you picking the voicings in the left hand? Does it have anything to do with what youre playing in the right hand?
The two are definitely connected, but the left hand basically is focusing on quartal voicings using the diatonic scale of the key of the moment.

My parents always told me I should play outside

@@Jmiyamae1 now you got it! Thanks for the interest, questions are always 😁 welcome.
Well actually you’re quite right. The gravity is pulling towards D minor so claiming that it’s the IIm7 of C is sort of a theoretical approach rather than what the feel of the key is. You can have brilliant fun with Eb7#11 just as well.
that threw me too
Its all useful stuff but it would help if you slowed down just a bit, please. By the time I've thought about what you're saying you've moved on!
Right on! It's not the first time I hear it. You'll find the newer videos slowed down...and better produced to adjust for this feedback. This was an earlier video... I'm getting better at this TH-cam thing😉
