Calm yourself down. Consider a therapist if seeing a number on RU-vid is getting to be too much for you. Or consider putting your phone down. It's that kind of hysterical snowflake behaviour that got dislikes removed. Unnecessary.
Thank you Adam! Another awesome lesson to help us Piano Fighters level up. Nice deadpan delivery @ 11:25 introducing The Lick over Ebmaj7 as "just a little bit of language that I completely wrote...on my own." LOL
You took the impossible out the diminished scale triads and made playing them over the V7 possible -- all the while adding the incredible "double triads". Thanks, Adam.
Brilliance disguised as simplicity. These lessons are always very approachable even for a beginner. It never ceases to amaze me how much details matter in jazz (and other music too), and if you have a strong grasp of the flavors of the language, you can be incredibly clear to the listener just with a few chords and melody notes. Thanks again Adam!
I like the half tritone sub look, that's cool. Major/minor triads around the diminished cycle off the root of the dominant. All notes in all triads in-scale. Awesome. This helps me too, to focus more on specific reusable language. I spend way too much time turning up every stone, thinking I'm developing some big abstract palette to draw from. Which I guess is true to some extent. But I need to focus more on a shorter menu of actual things I like to play, and play them. Cheers, you guys are great.
Awesome lesson Adam. It seems like a nice benefit with this is also that you get 3 other keys ‘for free’ when you learn these patterns over the Bb7 because the of use the diminished scale..
Adam Manes is in my opinion the Best Teacher you can find putting all the pieces together...Bringing you for maybe clicking thar little nice shiny notification button The fastest to our Goal" " to learn All events up from 40 s 50 60 s 70s( Herbie) 80 s maybe Chick and electrick band fuison stuff and 2010s & 2020 Clayton drills etc the New Great players Corey Groove Henry( vpicings Lolo)
I think about the half whole dim scale as lydian dominant with the 9th split into a flat 9 and sharp 9. The whole half dim scale is even easier. It's just melodic minor with the 5th split into a flat 5 and sharp 5.
Thx yep. I've had command of the main 7 tone substitution scales for years but just never got control of the dim scales. I thought ok it's time to quit slacking and friggin learn them. I thought I best learn scales by thinking of what scale degree each note is so I came up with that.
A really interesting idea is a triple diad meaning playing three 2 note shapes which has the same amount of notes that 2 triads has. So for example: on Bb7 you could play a G major diad then a Bb major diad then a Db minor diad resolving to F (the 9 of Ebmaj/min). With that you could even imply both diminished and augmented harmony by transposing by both major and minor thirds. This is a great way to extend a dominant sound especially over a V vamp like in Caravan or the bridge to Stella.
It's worth noting: anything that you can play inside the 1/2-W scale can move in minor thirds and still stay in the scale. Holy symmetrical octatonic madness!!
I love the way it sounds and how the simple triad can be a great weapon but I’m kinda new to jazz can you actually play and say what you’re doing over each chord thanks for the lesson😎🎸🌈
Interesting way to think about this. It would be helpful However if you’re encouraging people to play along that when you comp that you always play a full dominant seventh chord on the second half of the first bar. Or else our major triad substitute is out of context :-)
