    In this video, we talk about one of the most difficult chords and sounds to play over, altered dominant. Many people get overwhelmed when they see one of these chords but in this lesson we try to simplify the approach to the chord while giving you some fantastic structures that will make your solos stand out instantly!

    This is an OUTSTANDING lesson!!! I've been playing for 45 years, teaching for almost as long and your patent demeanor made this totally understandable!!!!

      Wow, thanks John!! This means a lot coming from you! 🎷

    The sound of altered, is so recognizable and straight that you can use it over any b7 chord, no matter if it is major minor or whatever...
    Is one of the best tricks for begginers in jazz in my opinion

    What helps me with this is knowing where all the notes naturally voice lead into the next chord. That way I can try to create new lines when soloing that make some kind of sense.

      I agree with Jens, these are some great lines. What I really like is how you make use of jumps (non consecutive chord tones) over the iim7, V7, and Imaj7. Also, the use of color tones (the 6th, and 9th for the iim7 and the 6, 9, and #11 over the tonic). The combination of these three components really make the lines so good! Perhaps you could make a video that explains how you make use of jumps and how you employ the color tones?

    Just getting into introducing some dissonance, with this scale and the HW diminished, so this is gold. Thank you.

    Excellent video Nick thank you very much. I think just major scales every time , for example to play E dorian i think D major . Same is for altered scale even its not diatonic scale.
    For Galt I think f# major scale except the tonic. I play G instead F# , rest of them is F# major scale.

    Really enjoyed listening to this video. I now see alt chords different. It seem that the melody
    has a tremendous influence on the chords used. I will be studying this in various songs..

  • @jimkangas4176
    @jimkangas4176 3 ปีที่แล้ว

    This is just taking the diatonic triads/chords for the alt scale in the same way that you would for a major scale. However, as another poster noted, seeing those triads really helps in resolving to the tonic. Nice lines.

    • @Osnosis
      @Osnosis 2 ปีที่แล้ว

      Yes. And you can also look at approach notes and passing tones to hide the formulaic sound of straight arpeggios. Oh and the reason the E7+5 doesn’t sound great is because it has the root and the 5th of the tonic (resolution), so there’s very little suspension.

  • @nelitoagulay7980

    • @nickmainella
      @nickmainella  3 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      Hey Dawson! I definitely do study kicks every day. I find that thinking this way, with structures, is much more useful to me when I'm soloing. You should do what works best for you though!

    Why doesn’t anyone just call this a tritone sub? It’s a tritone sub with the #11

    • @nickmainella
      @nickmainella  8 วันที่ผ่านมา

      Calling it a tritone sub works 👍 Thinking about it or calling it altered is just another way of organizing it in your brain and gives a specific set of pitches to work with if you are into that kind of thing. I say think about it however it's easiest to get the sound you want out the end of your instrument
