this channel is so important like .. you are appreciated

Man i love those lessons. Straight on point without unnecessary talking. Thanks for doing this man! I am a drummer by the way, this is how good your channel is.

I came here for the masterclass on chord and scale relationships, but I stayed for the masterclass on sweater and shirt relationships! J/K, awesome video!!

9:19 another way for me to remember the altered scale is that it's simply the major scale with all notes flattened except the tonic. => C Db Eb Fb Gb Ab Bb C and I guess that's probably why it's called the "altered" scale

It's funny how sometimes the most obvious thing is so underexplored. Great video!

His teaching technique is legendary!!

Noah hits it out of the park again. Such clarity on such an already complex topic.

Success!! This lesson has encompassed years of study and goes beyond the Major Scale. A naturally flowing wonderful lesson. Well done, Noah!!

Just came across your channel and I really love your lessons. I studied Jazz piano in college with a classical background, and this is the one thing I had the most trouble with. I’m really trying to get these concepts down now, and your videos are such a big help! Immediately subscribed :)

As a trombonist and percussionist all of this is new and very much needed!!!

I think this is the best piano tutorial channel so far. The explanation is very easy to understand and it helps a lot when writing jazz songs. Really thankful

I’m a studying guitarist and this lesson is perfect for my playing ( priceless actually) Thank you Noah for the wellspring of knowledge 💯👍🎸

This blew my mind. I didn’t realize there were variations on the scales and modes that correspond with the chord types. Thanks so much for making this!

Thank god for this! Been looking for this for about 20 years.

Absolute greatness! You open up the treasure-chest and show us how the gems work! And I thank you, sir, for so doing!

Always enjoyed improvising, but I never really did it mindfully, so sometimes it'd sound great other times not so much. The videos on this channel have definitely helped a huge amount with sharpening my awareness/skills, and giving me lots of new music vocabulary to work with.

Can't begin to describe how useful this is going to be for me. Thank you for posting this, I'll be back every 5mins to double check what I can use over what!!

They way your channel is truly teaching me 🙏🏾✨. I am learning and beginning to see the piano as limitless in terms of soloing, accompanying, comping and understanding harmony along with different Neo-Jazz and Modern jazz techniques, tricks and the theory💪🏾You are definitely my favorite piano RU-vidr and trust me that’s a pretty strong list😉💯

Immediately subscribed. Great content, extremely useful for a jazz student like me trying to understand harmony. I dig the presentation, and the clean presentation too; this is exactly what I was looking for. Thanks Noah!

This is absolutely brilliant video. Thank you so much Noel.

Thank you. :) So much knowledge shared in 15 minutes. You are awesome!

Thank you! This makes it much clearer!

Absolute gold, thanks so much Noah , this has helped me a lot!!

Really appreciate this video Noah.

Thanks Noah, great explanation of chord scale relationships. Good stuff!

Thank you for this channel, is very rich in contents and you are a good teacher, turns easier learn jazz piano.

I learned scales, modes and some sick chords this is a great video thanks

Thanks for the class Noah, the more I watch and study your material the more I realize jazz is all about knowing what goes with what. Jazz Is a complex world but not difficult one if you know how to "hack the piano" and doing everything very simple and effective. I will continue studying all of this!! and also with week 3-4, it starts to get complicated haha

Really insightful video, thank you!

Love this. You are an excellent teacher

Another great video, thank you very much!

Great video Noah. Thank you very much.

Thanks for another great video!

And you deserve an A+. Thanks

Great vid

This is exactly the sort of thing that I've been looking for, well, except I don't really do jazz haha, but surprisingly a lot of this translates pretty well

mixolian #4 is a scale from one style of brasilian music, baião

Great one, thank you Noah!

Thank You so much!🔥🔥🔥🔥

Amazing 👏

Thank you, Noah

🎉🎉🎉🎉thx so i 'M beginner with improvisation! For the jazz I learn dat!

You are also being watched from Turkey, Noah, and I am grateful to you.❤👏👍🙏

I’m currently in a harmony class in berklee and we’re starting to get into this stuff, this video is great!!

Thanks for this bro. This is awesomely good 👍

Thanks man

Thank you 🙏🏽🙏🏽

Thanks!

Wonderful...

Amazing

Also for the minMaj7 chord you can use harmonic minor if you're really looking for some dark tones, not really a jazz thing, but for other styles it's great

8:29 I love the Lydian Dominant scale... it has this weird, ethereal quality... hard to put into words.

Thanks ❤️

Easier way to wrap your head around Locrian #2 scale for half diminished chords: go up minor third and play that melodic minor scale. So a 2-5-1 in minor keys looks like: melodic minor of minor 3rd up for 2 half dim, melodic minor of half-step up for 5 alt, melodic minor of root for 1 m6/9

Great study and tip video.

Amazing stuff

Thanks 😊

Peace and much respect Noah!!

Thank you

I learned about Locrian #2! Cool sound -- however I'm kind of shocked to not see any harmonic minor, double harmonic or blues here. Probably my three most used sounds as a soloist!! Don't overlook these beginner soloists -- ESPECIALLY the blues, which is completely crucial.

Sounds good

i appreciated this video a lot. great job.

Awesomeee

You've done the Jazz lord's work

you're an excellent teacher and a terrific jazz player. I just wish you'd have a notated copy of the short riffs you play before you start teaching or when you present a chord then you make an awesome riff. What I see are notes on top of each other like a massive chord.

This my friends , is value , REAL VALUE

Great intro lesson. 💯

I love this 🎹❤🔥
