Hi Christian, Loving your lessons!! Tell me if I'm wrong, the way I understood this (and looks like how a lot of gipsy licks works), is that the V can be substitute by a diminished a minor second up, and each note of that diminished can be the root of a -6 arpeggio. Like in C we have G7 substituted by a Ab7 diminished, that gives us 4 notes : Ab, B, D, F ; Which gives us 4 arpeggios : Ab-6, B-6, D-6, F-6 (each one can be a substitute for G7). And a -6 being an inversion of a -7b5 , G7 can then be substitute by Ab-7b5 ,B-7b5, D-7b5, F-7b5. In D we have A7--> Bbo7 : Bb, C#, E, G --> Bb-6, C#-6, E-6, G-6 etc....
Hi Christian - Great video, as always - thanks! I found a fingering for the Fmaj - Fm6 that doesn't require all the sliding. Instead of starting at the 4th fret on 1, try the 9th fret on 2 and play 2 notes per string.
Great sound and applied theory , especially for someone like me , who has a scale matrix of blues patterns based on melodic minor shapes combined with W 1/2 diminished
Thank you for all of your hard work, you're really helping me "up" the level of my playing! I have a question - hopefully not a silly one... How do you differentiate or describe/(think about) the difference between a dominate 7 when it's in a Major chord progression versus in a Minor chord progression? Example: DMaj7 and AMaj7 arpeggios sound nice over the E7 in a Major II-V-I, but not so nice over the E7 in a minor progression like "Minor Swing". For my personal notes on Dom7's, I find myself writing either (M), (m), or (M&m) next to them if I think they sound good in both. I'm wondering if there's a simpler way for me to be looking at this. Thanks Christiaan!
Hello Christian, do you accept the arpeggio dmoll6 on the tonic chord dmoll6 on the song Les yeux noirs. I consider you the best gypsy jazz teacher on RU-vid and your opinion will be binding on me. Regards.
@@ChristiaanvanHemert I see that an inversion of the G7 chord is a Dm6, but what's up with the others you noted there like F and Ab, if you can elaborate? Is this just something you know sounds good or is there like a more theoretical explanation I may be missing out of curiosity?
Do you have any tips for playing over minor 251s, and is there an equivalent `scale shifting' trick to the one shown in this video that works for minor 251s? Sorry can't make it to LA, but if you're running sessions in Europe I'd be very interested! Many thanks for really great series of instructional videos and for making them freely available - much appreciated! Best wishes. Dave (UK)
Thanks Christiaan: Apologies - I didn't notice that you'd done this already! Fantastic: loads of inspirational ideas really clearly explained & presented. Suggestion for another video: What are your recommended chord voicings and tips for solo lines over Rhythm Changes ?
Many thanks - that would be very helpful. Looks like you're very busy at present: you're making and posting great videos faster than I can study them ! No rush: make sure you get some time to sleep ;-) BW. Dave
Thanks for the lesson. I hope you got to get some relief from that indigestion. Maybe you should have been kinder to yourself and stopped the taping until you could eat a couple of Tums. Anyway, you made without stopping for Tums and you made it look easy.
