Hi there, 1st example is under "Voice leading", 2nd example under "Blues" and 3rd example under "Green Sleeves" chord-melody. I am not in my classroom at the moment, this is the best I can do - I hope it helps. Thank you. Peter
So are the chord categories is relative to its functional harmony to key of C or it is all C chord. Say... Major Category: is it all major chords in key of C or just all variation of C chord. Likewise Seventh Category: is it C7 chord variation or all available dominant chord in key of C? Minor Category seems variation of C minor chord and not the minor chords available in key of C. Its a good source of chords form but I find it confusing how to use it relative to its functional harmony.
i’m pretty sure they are variations of the same chord, some will have inversions etc but essentially spell the same chord (for example in the video he plays the half-diminished sounds around 2:25 and they are all Dmin7(b5) or Dmin7(b5,11) )
This version, and the one here by Pasquale Grasso are very different. But both are mind-blowing. Not to mention beautiful versions Monk would have loved.
This really blew my mind, thank you so much both, for the great questions and deep answers. From a fellow teacher's point of view it is always inspiring to hear how, someone who has mastered their knowledge, communicates it. Ben's approach is humbling and transcendental
This book is directed at advanced and higher level guitar players. I can recommend "beginning level" material by Berklee Press, Alfred publications, Mel Bay etc. take it from there and build up your skills to advanced level and after then this book can contribute to your education. I hope it helps. Peter
Cada vez que escucho a Rosenwinkel me pregunto de dónde viene ese sonido peculiarísimo, precioso, incomparable. Del trabajo, del genio, de la persistencia.
This book is so good. Even just learning the patterns from the beginning expanded my playing so much when I realised how to use them over different chord types.
Bought this book in Eason’s (Dublin:)) and love it. Newish to jazz but after a few mins I found myself coming up with direct substitution exercises for myself (or “chord movement”). Brilliant book for building up chord knowledge and geography of the fretboard. Won’t be everyone’s taste though.
