Also, if you can get the Hal Leonard version of Steely Dan’s Deacon Blues, you’ll find many essential jazz guitar chords that you will use forever. One of the earlier Steely Dan books also covers the “Moo” major chord that later shows up as the Ebmaj7 in Prince’s Purple Rain. I enjoy your lessons, Mike.
Yes, definitely from classical many of the concepts used by jazz musicians have their origins in classical music e.g., Barry Harris's musical approach inspired by Bella Bartok's concepts. Warm regards. Mike
Good morning very interesting the triads solution and various inversions and rope jumps the only doubt is how do you memorize all these shapes it would not be better to find a construction linked perhaps to a symmetrical scale as an example the augmented scale thanks anyway for your beautiful videos

WOW! At this stage that I am at, this is exactly what I've been wanting to fill in the empty places! Also, I am going to see if you have a lesson on substitutions! No one teaches like you do. Tou really target issues! Thank You.....Although I do not play jazz, I'm going to mold this into my style of playing! It will definitely turn heads!!!
I love feature three, where lowering any note of a dimished chord creates a dominant 7! This'll come in useful when transcribing - if you find a shape that differs from a dimished by one semitone (on one string) this helps identify it.
A question on the subject: since there is a dominant major on a key and its tritone is also on the relative minor, I seem to see that you can play any combination within the same hexatonal scale and on both, so I don't have to think according to the circle of fifths, but anything goes.... or wrong thank you very much
Hi Mike .. I’ve jumped to this one ..great as usual ..nicely explained as always ,,where do you get this knowledge I always say ?))) brilliant .these aug chords open up more then Pandora’s box ,,learning mike ..thanks Mike 👍👍👍
Hello Johnny, yes there's a whole new world waiting to be discovered in the land of the whole tone scale. All the very best with your guitar playing. Mike
Thanks for this video Mike. I really enjoyed it. I also enjoyed having Augmented Chords and Whole Tone Scale cleared up. Look forward to using them with confidence now. I like your 'VCR' joke. I'm the same. 😁
Hello Kevin, great to hear from you, yes there's a whole new world of harmonic richness and beauty waiting to be discovered in the land of the Whole tone scale we'll be covereing more of that shortly ... VCR's ... someone just told me they're out of date so maybe I won't have to worry about that after all.😎

You'll also get to hear how these elements come to life in the enchanting music of Ravel and Debussy. Join the conversation and let’s explore the hidden harmonies together! 🌟
Thank you very much for your interesting video I was only asking for one thing in a 2/5/1 progression example in C major I could use any triad or square that is formed on the hexatonal G scale starting from any note because inside there are all its alterations thank you very much
I'm glad you found the video interesting! The 2/5/1 progression is a classic, and using the hexatonic G scale can definitely add some unique flavors. Keep experimenting with those triads! All the very best. Mike
Thus is a truth meteor, I think you've gave this secret away, so you can hear better things from others, the sadness of speed and scales over harmony, has been found guilty and you are the judge and jury. Excellent top top dude
Thank you very much for all the great lessons. The slow pace and the clarity of explanations are outstanding. After the first 20 something lessons of the chord melody series I have serious questions left though ... I am perfectly able to follow and to understand the steps and the context, But somehow I cannot really comprehend how to put things into action. I mean, when people meet for jam sessions, the musicians would play tunes as depicted in the real books. I have learned to assign the major chords to the 6th dim scale, I know that I can play a minor 6 on the dominant - and I can't deal with the rest : ))) I need to learn to assign all chords of a tune to those 6ths - I seem to draw a mental blank on this. Would you mind point to a cue or to lessons that explain this? I hope that my question even makes sense and I thank you for support. Zsolt
