Exercise in Minor Keys_ "AUTUMN LEAVES" - 2-5-1 drills and modes for improvisation - JAZZ RANCH. 

Thanks so much Kent! I'm a classical player trying to bridge into jazz. It's been tough getting the hang of it but this video lit the light bulb in my mind. You took this slowly enough which helped to let this settle in. Thanks and best to you!

Good bless U Master ❤❤❤❤

Thank you thank you for sharing your knowledge. Been watching for years. And love your tee shirt! It’s always just simple enough but not to simple..

Thanks Kent your videos are awesome

Fabulous, KH, and the hilarious subtitles are an added bonus.

Thanks, so much. I feel this is your best video ever! It should be required viewing for all aspiring piano players. It should be viewed at least 5x minimum. You pack so much into a short amount of time. I'd like to visit you on the Ranch sometime, take care... Thanks, I owe you a great debt of gratitude! 👍

Огромное Вам спасибо 🙏💕 Thank You very much❤ from Saint- Petersburg😊

Thank you

The 2nd in minor was the 7th sc.dgr in major

First time that i hear an explanation why you use melodic minor ascending and natural minor descending. Also why you use the harmonic minor on the 5th for that one note #5 difference in the scale. So clear and simple. Tnx!

The lesson is Forevermore! Great job man!! I needed to rewhacht , replays this video, was something beyond my knowledge. But I'm studying cycle of fifths Mayor scales. Then I need More time to understand and practice . I'm practicing some ideas of your 251 videos. And I need put in practice in all Mayor keys

Hi My friend kent this is Ivor, could there be a place where Cycle or a Coltrane Change or Shadow Harmony would be possible? Shadow harmony is a technique of Mick Goorick(former reacher of Berkeley who developed both Shadow Harmony(if i remeber the name correctly? as Generoc Modality Compression, together with Tim Miller) it is cloe the 145 125 soltutions of Chick Corea and his tetratone scale's...Shadow Harmony is a technique where a part of the melody is just played at another rate so 2 or 4 bars at will could be played together with the harmony in another key...normally they choose like 4 bars...so that a melody thesis is clearly covered, and than after 4 bars make a nice modulation...if you take It could happen to You and one starts in Eb and go to Gmaj7 after for bars, using this very formular you go from D7- to Gmaj7 in stead of Ebmaj7!! is that Magickal or isn't it!!! something trivial starts to change in something special!!! What A marvelous trick if you want I could send you the changes where but of course for you this is easy to understand this simple formular...Fun is to do this with your own bass player and don't tell him when you "leave" key I once did this with blue Bossa we ended up me playing in Ebminor and he in Cminor and I modulated back every body thought I was doing a Fancy "Out" thing I wasn't!!!### ?? w.t.f. With other words I was using Shadow Harmony on the spot the nice thing is that Dominant for the transmission called transmission Dominants are Ambigious in Nature and there is where the real magick Happens....

This is exactly what I was looking for. Thanks for the great tutorial 🙏 Is there sheet music for the 2 5 1 drills in this video?

Hey Kent, do you have any smooth transition for modulating a half step down?

Really a great exercise. You mentioned sheet music that goes with this exercise. Is that in your book?

Hey Kent, very helpful stuff! Is the sheet free to download?

Isn't it true re: melodic minor scale, that - in jazz - the scale stays the same, whether ascending OR descending (unlike 'classical' theory - which is natural minor to the 5th, and Major from 5th to upper 1; then, descends downward using ONLY the natural minor form?). Thanks Kent . . . love your classes, hip cat!

Where can I find the sheet music? In the book?

Are you perhaps in family with a old composer Eliza Hewitt psalmscomposer
