JAZZ Guitar CHORDS in Open Position: "Autumn Leaves"
In this lesson, I'll show you how I approach playing colorful chords in open position - which is less common in jazz, even though it can sound great. This song happens to be in G Major (E minor), which is a relatively easy key for this sort of open-string study. If you like this approach, try other tunes and other keys.
Note: This lesson was originally made for my Patreon channel. You can find the PDF there.

Getting to KNOW a JAZZ STANDARD: "I Concentrate on You" (Cole Porter)
Просмотров 2,5 тыс.9 часов назад
In this lesson, I'll show you how I approach learning jazz standards, using Cole Porter's fantastic "I Concentrate on You". If you really want to understand a song like this, you'll need more than 'The Real Book' or the iReal Pro app - tho' they can be useful resources as well. I recommend listening to recordings of the song from a variety of eras, studying the original sheet music, and transpo...

DOMINANT/DIMINISHED Sounds: A PRACTICAL Approach
Просмотров 2,5 тыс.Месяц назад
There's an 8-note scale commonly used over Dom.7(b9) chords, built by alternating half-step, whole-step - all the way up the scale. From A, for example: A, Bb, C, C#, D#, E, F#, G. It's a cool sound, but can be hard to hear if you're coming from playing blues or rock. In this lesson, I show an approach that you may find more accessible.

    I was teaching about the power of triads way back in the early 90s. I wrote it all down and self-published my book PlaneTalk. When I first got on the Internet nobody was talking about triads it was all scales, modes, boxes, pentatonics. It's nice to see that players are finding out more from all these great teachers. Killed my business though,

    I also always look for scores that are as close to the original as possible. Frequently they are for the piano and look like the one in this video. However I find that the guitar symbols they add are not very reliable, I only use the piano part. Maybe the editors added these chord annotations to make the sheet more accessible to amateurs with easy grips. Or to give just some upper notes of the harmony, requiring a separate bass, and gave them (wrong) names that relate to the shapes, such as the augmented that is in fact the upper part of a min maj 7 chord shown in this video. Anyway, it's confusing, but these scores are still way better than the Real book and similar resources.

    Interesting video, and I think it's great to see people like you discussing classic standards like "I Concentrate On You". I do play hundreds of tunes like this from the Real Book using IRealPro backing tracks. Some musical snobs/advanced purists think this is "vanilla" but I heartily disagree. Rather I think it's a fantastic educational learning tool for beginners/inermediate and even advanced players. This has vastly improved my sight reading skills, my rhythm and time, my harmonic knowledge, my improv skills, and my knowledge of hundreds of these great classic tunes. However i agree with you that you really need to listen to many different recordings by great artists, with the ultimate goal of interpreting these songs in your own way, including learning to sing them, which is a whole other dimension in itself. When you can play the chords to these tunes solo by yourself with no backing track, play the melodies and also sing the lyrics, and improvise as well --- you've really achieved a lot.

  • @ChordYogaGuitar
    @ChordYogaGuitar 4 дня назад

    One of the standards I should've picked up while in 'jazz school', or 'on the road'. This way of in-depth yet uncomplicated - actual - learning affords another chance 🙏 The approach also sheds more light on the specific qualities of songwriting / the initial arrangement ideas that make standards like this so great and how to interpret these aspects. Not to indulge too much in melodic minor math ("scale theory", simply used as a measuring device) but: while both the mentioned Eb min-maj harmony from the piano reduction vs. the now more commonly used Bb7#5 / Ab7#11 chord grips all share and are derived from the same pitch group; in theory (Eb Melodic Minor = Bb Mixo b13 = Ab Lydian Dom); the audible effect isn't the same. The choice of notes, including the Eb as 'root' note of the voicing allows for a more ambiguous 'dominant' sound towards the Ebm7, than a more blunt V chord voicing effect, e.g. when opting for a Bb as lowest note in the voicing.

    When i studied jazz guitar in Switzerland 40 years ago, we had to know at least 150 standards by heart in all keys. I think people underestimate the harmonic skills, that come from it. Also for the memory, the routine, everything. I would not have been able, to survive without it.

I don't know if I could play a gig like that now, but it really helped to make me the musician that I am today.

    i was fortunate enough to see Lenny Breau live dozens of times back in the day. sometimes at clubs with only a few people in the audience . Very sad. I even got to know Jack Zaza years later When I was a math teacher. Jack hired a young Lenny Breau to perform with the CBC band live on television shows . Jack was pretty much retired, but taught students extra lessons to apply and get admitted to jazz schools. He told me a lot of great stories about Lenny and all the 1000s of sessions that Jack did over the decades . Larnell Lewis was a student at the school and we would jam sometimes. He often played piano! Now he is the drummer for snarky puppy, and he has his own band playing around Toronto. sorry for any errors in this. I use voice to text because I have severe arthritis.
