I have just taken your advice and started looking at music differently. Tracking the chords. Mindful of Barry's remarks about Bach - I am a beginner - I chose Prelude in C. Here it is I ii V I vi ii V 1. My entire view of Jazz Harmony is altered for ever. No More hitting movement is the way to go. Thank you
Those substitutions are something I did not already know even if it is something that makes sense. Really neat stuff I'm gonna figure out some economical positions on the fretboard for.
@@JazzSkills Specifically the II-V to the III but resolving to I. I have been teaching myself with youtube and mostly do solo recording so I miss out on a lot of basics that probably seem so second nature it would be weird to mention. I appreciate your teaching style, thanks for all the tips!
Thank you!! Use the 3 a lot but never thought about the 2-5 of it. Great !!! Always learning!! And then using the 2-5 of 3 to 1 instead. Really nice!!!
The 3 I refer to is the 3rd chord in the diatonic scale. Eg. In the key of C major, the 3 chord is Em which can be used as a substitute for C which is the 1 chord. Also the 6 chord (Am ) is a sub for C. I should have used Roman numerals to be more correct. Sorry. I II iii IV V vi vii
