Gud Stuff. Made me think of mixing things to "borrow". As to theory and I've studied a lot, I find it best to just look at it as Label for sounds not rules to follow. I find people that view theory as rules or try to approach improv as having to "know the rules" end up just spinning their wheels. Play first then apply labels to make it easier to recall and use again later.
Yes exactly. Music theory is not an instruction book on how to play. It’s more like an anatomy book that tells you what everything is and gives them clear definitions. But you couldn’t use an anatomy textbook to diagnose a specific condition.
"...and you wondered what they were playing?" Yes...for almost fifty years that question nagged me. I'm finally learning, and can sometimes call out right away, ooh, ooh, 13#11! And then play it. Better late than never.
Hi, Thank you very much for the lesson. Much enjoyed and got a couple quick ways to play the chords without going through a check list in my head 😁😁👍👍. At 7'56" did you mean to say you had a 4th in the left hand or a tritone. E to flat7 in the left chord has one more half-tone than the right chord D-G so the intervals are not the same.
I find that many of the traditional 4th voicings often include an augmented 4th. I’ve actually heard people defend the major 3rd between the hands as a diminished 4th! Maybe stretching the term a bit… but best not to take these things literally. The main idea is there.
I just discovered your channel and am liking your clear explanations and thoughts.
Awesome lesson! You’re a great teacher
Thanks Jordan!
Liked your comment about what music theory is for: "It's there to help explain what was just played", as opposed to "playing based on theory"

"Music theory doesn't tell you what to play, it just explains to you what has already been played." Briliiant - an absolute lightbulb moment! Thanks.

Best videos on Jazz!!!! So clear and understandable. Thanks!

@@JoshWalshMusic Appreciate the response. Being less OC is probably a good idea 😁😁👍👍
