We'll put! I don't need to comment after YOUR 'clear and elegant' words.

Yet you did anyway

exactly, they were everywhere and i just understand the explanation just now.

Murray Blake , Hey , hoping that you are making good progress . It is important to understand that tritones are not effective if or whilst you are singing and playing simultaneously. See my reply to the presenter to learn more. He is a great musician and I meant no negativity towards him , just my input. Take care and keep practicing. 👍👍👍

I was introduced to jazz and took jazz guitar for a year. Took jazz piano for a year. Not a pro but this may help.some.people new to the genre. Today. Today I tried to play Db scale over a G7..largely discordant..Sounded like a good idea at the time. I noticed if you modified the chord to ..lets say a G7b9 which is nothing but an Ab B D F..that works better. I also the alt scale over it..my trick is start first 4 notes as the 1/2 wholescale..then whole scale. G Ab Bb B Db Eb.F G. So I think that this would be a good compromise. Root b9 #9 3 b5 #5 b7 Root. I think this scale is one that every struggling musician should learn. it is very typical of modern music from the 30s up. Best to start with A quick hack that I have used to find this scale is to b all the notes of C to get the altered scale. Say. C Bb Ab Gb Fb Eb Db C. Read this backwards in ascending form.. It becomes the altered scale.C Db Eb E Gb Ab Bb C. This works in all 12 keys. So So I've read in numerous articles that all the necessary notes of the C7 Dom chord.Root 3 b7 or C E Bb are unchanged and I notice that the 5 is missing.This is because the unnecessary. It is often modified. The altered scale does all this. It has b9, #9 etc. Knowing this one scale helps us probable better than amy scale..except we must know all 12 scales..That pattern takes a few seconds..about 5 . 2 and a half 3 and half . 2 1/2. 3 and. 3. 1/2..All for now.

It's hard to even find good teach here in north New York! Many musicians sure, but bad teachers. This guy is an exceptionally good teacher! I quit my real lesson with a female jazz musician because she has no plan and no skill at teaching, every lesson was a chaos and frustration, I played the piano for 20 years but not I feel more handicapped than before. Also, at least there is RU-vid access in Ukraine, China blocks RU-vid!

@@reggaefan2700 lolol

I feel the same way

Or.. you know.. thank this guy maybe?!

Are you sure you want to thank god? Tritone devil horns at 5:06

yes same love it

Jazz is worth persusing.

Sure thing. Also check out my Jazz Piano series here on RU-vid (totally free, just search for mangoldproject and jazz piano course and you'll find the playlist easily).

@@MangoldProject Yes, I already viewed all of the course and will apply that information to my jazz playing. Thanks again sir, I look forward to looking at the rest of your videos.

Many thanks, Daniel.

Glad to be of help.

Thanks Reynold! I do my best to be comprehensive without dragging it out.

When the student is ready, the teacher will appear.

It's not shown on screen, but I was also doing by taxes simultaneously.

@@MangoldProject The main thing is make sure your taxes are accurate..

Haha exactly what I thought

Thank you Compi.

Cool. I always consider guitarists watching this channel a small victory!

Glad to know my video helped you out.

Thanks!

My pleasure. More good stuff planned for the upcoming weeks :)

Musical theory is mystically interesting. Maybe it's just me. It border on boring because of the dry nature of it but it's interesting to know why things are going on. The jazz piano chords always alluded me.

rawstarmusic I am writing this because you are exploring the jazz gendre. This video lesson begins to open up jazz to to you, if you mine it depths. if you read this over and over it will help you. I am texting so there may be some​ typos This is a little involved but can be learned in one sitting at the piano. Two things to point out, the flatted fifth note of the diatonic scale is the tritone. cdefg (scale of c up to fifth note) flat the fifth or go up six semi tones or go up three semitones. all land you on the coveted , much espoused , gotta know , tritone. in c it will be gflat. There is a special relationship with the tritone it is basically a half step above where you would go in basic music theory. I may be playing in c I play a g flat7 instead of a g7. the notes of of a gflat 7 chord are( gflat bflat dflat f flat) . . Now this is key,.Jazz revolves and lives and breathes with the circle of fifths. So in you were playing a song and c was the five chord it will resolve to the one chord which is the f chord. Remember this chord it is your target chord. But the jazz has has chromatic movement.. Now I break things down to the simplest way I can understand it.. getting back to the chord.. take the gflat seven. I'll write them again ( gflat bflat dflat fflat). Now remember that our Target chorf in this example will be fmaj 7 or possibly another dominant. Flatting all the notes . ( the gflat will be f, the bflat will be a, the dfat will be c the f flat or e note will be eflat.) if you take a note book by your piano I recommend a spiral. and write this down and make the gflat 7 and drop all notes by a semitones or half step, there right before your eyes will be the home chord of f ( this will be a dominant seven faceflat and you can change this to fmaj 7, face.)) jazz musicians are the among the most advanced musicians in the western world. They hone their skills day and night. Many grew up playing classical. I have a little back ground in jazz but is not my forte also play a little jazz guitar.

Thanks Saif. Peace back from Israel!

Thanks brother, God's blessings to You all :)

Glad to help out :)

Yes, it's one of the cornerstones of jazz harmony. Be careful not to *overuse* it, though, as often happens when we learn new ideas.

You're welcome Don.

Thanks! Glad you found the video useful.

Haha, I didn't even notice that! But you're absolutely right :)
