Love this! It would be nice if you played through 12 bars in time so we can hear what each level should sound like in context. Also, what are these secret chords you speak of and where can we learn more?

@ChaseMaddox 2 года назад

Appreciate the feedback! You can check out some of my earlier lessons on “The Secret Jazz Chord” and also Barry Greene’s original videos on the same topic. I learned it from him when he was my teacher.

@@ChaseMaddox Great playing and great channel. I am a subscriber for sure. I love Barry and his playing, but Barry gets into the weeds so to speak before playing it through. It makes it more difficult for us mere mortals 😂 to understand and assimilate. If you can play it once through first, as an example, it would be great. Thanks again.

@alexbostelle287 2 года назад

Exception content.....i studied in Philly late 70s 80s Pat Martini school....we substituted every note of every chord like a blooming onions back then creating boundless layers. What I'm fallin' into lately is substituting a lower or higher octave note within a chord that creates a drone or rub sound that guitars are at an advantage to produce.... frivolous side note....with glasses on, you remind me of string skipping AL dimeola, adds,a placebo effect to your validity😜 .....

@@ChaseMaddox He's totally the best! Oathbringer for life! For a lesson, really, I am just a beginner. Sang in a band 20 years ago, stopped music, and lost myself in the grind of life. Decided to pick guitar up, went out and got myself an Ibanez hollow-body (similar to yours!) and start formal lessons as an older dude. Hopefully in a few months I'll be able to pick up a lot of jazz and blues concepts and progressions, and I can come back to these videos and play along. :) You're doing a great job man, keep it up!

@ChaseMaddox 2 года назад

Thanks Jason! I’m happy to do more lessons that apply to beginners on guitar, to bring them up to these more advanced concepts.

I think that between levels, you should play the entire blues that you've just described, so it can give a sensation of how each level feels and sounds.

@kend6471 2 года назад

Great video! For me it would be more helpful to see each level demonstrated with a progression at the end, maybe a longer one with all the levels at the end of the video. Regardless, I appreciate the content!

@ChaseMaddox 2 года назад

Thanks Ken! Do you mean it would be more helpful if I played through each level of the progression? As chords or soloing over? Trying to understand what you’d find most useful 👍

@kend6471 2 года назад

@@ChaseMaddox Yes! No soloing needed, just playing through the 12 bar progression once at the end of each level using the chords introduced in that level, along with another progression at the end incorporating every level together. For me personally, it would help to hear how the chords sound as they follow one another in real time!

@dividedwords 2 года назад

It's very interesting how the 'secret jazz voicing' is always a Maj7#11 (or Maj7b5) on either the major third or the flat-seventh of the chord root at hand. This to me is a useful mnemonic, especially if I'm thinking of rootless voicings.

@ChaseMaddox 2 года назад

Can you give me an example? I’m not sure I understand how you’re thinking of it.

@dividedwords 2 года назад

@@ChaseMaddox Sure. I meant that for, say, F#7alt, the rootless voicing can be thought of (enharmonically) as BbMaj7#11 (based on Bb, the M3rd of F#). For F#13, you can grab the Maj7#11 from its flat-7, E, giving you EMaj7#11. You can see this in two chords a tritone apart, say C and F#. C13 will have BbMaj7#11, and so will F#7alt; Bb being the flat-seven of C, and the M3rd of F3. (#11 or flat-5, either way.)

Nice presentation. But these are no secrets; it's standard jazz harmony.

@ChaseMaddox 2 года назад

I agree! The “secret jazz chord” voicing is the name of a concept that my college professor, Barry Greene, came up with. It’s his name for that voicing type and I use that name since that’s his formulation I’m using.

@DjangoThunders 2 года назад

One suggestion is to use a chord grid instead of a tab for us older folks.

@ChaseMaddox 2 года назад

I prefer notating it as music notation and TAB, since a chord grid is so similar to TAB.

@willieboy8798 2 года назад

i have been told that im a good musician,...i dont believe them. i like your style of demonstration. jazz is highly technical an that is what makes it fun. i learned music to get me through psychics chemistry....which is really close in reaction ...example you take a tuning fork of standard material and dope it or bi metal the fork ...you could change the note in many ways or the sustain of the fork or the volume!

Anybody who gave thought to harmony would think that B dim has more of E7 going to Amin kind of sound than G7 to Cmin. (Or even F dim going to F major) You seem to rely too much on chord/scale theory and real book changes. I guess some people believe that earth is flat

So is a lot of Jazz "secret"? If so, who wants to be part of a music culture or movement that deeply frustrates the heck out of people trying to learn it, by keeping back its knowledge..sorry "secrets", just for all the snide, sneering trust fund hipsters to learn, and use?

@ChaseMaddox 2 года назад

Are you referring to the “secret jazz chord”? If so, that’s not a name I came up with but my teacher Barry Greene who is much closer to the hippie era than hipster 😉 My entire purpose in teaching on this channel is to reveal any “secrets” I’ve learned, not hide them.

@michaelhagerth1196 2 года назад

No disrespect to Barry, he is great, but the “Secret Jazz Chord” lingo has got to go. At best it is a layer of abstraction that you have to pass through to get to the facts. Imagine going to a gig and playing with others and someone asks, “What are the changes?” … “Oh that is just F7 to the secret jazz chord” ?!?!
