Playing Outside The Changes 1 

Aimee I am so grateful for your being on this earth! Infinite thanks

It's almost like a Hanon exercise now that I've been doing that. I was able to figure it out and play the entire phrase. Great video. It's amazing how simple the phrases become when you break them down.

So glad to have found your channel! I accompany my vocals with keys and guitar, self taught. I shy away from piano gigs but am learning so much from you. You get the intuitive side but your ability to explain theory is amazing!

Hey aimee! I'll be studying jazz at uni. Your videos are so helpfull! Your videos made me go to uni

You are so hard working. Total respect!

You're welcome. I found you by accident and I'm so glad I did. Your blues idea seems to work quite nicely on my steel guitar.

Fun and very helpful...my tenor sax is waiting....thanks Aimee !

Didn't know you had an SV1... I got mine at the start of this year, though I haven't made much of the organ yet.Cool demo, and nice simple ideas to build up and out from a root.

You are a fine musician. Thanks for sharing.

So good! Thank you for sharing! Your voice is amazing The battery flat beeps freaked me out, thought my Bluetooth headphones were dying 😂

A very nice video as always, Amy. May I call you Amy? Yes? Thank you. I "knew" that I have heard that lick before, aside from Coltrane/Giant Steps, and when I got home from work and had a minute I found it. For your viewers' information, the 1 2 3 5 pattern is seen in Oliver Nelson's Patterns for Jazz Improvisation book in exercises 2 and 16 (going up by half steps) and in exercise 22, going up a fourth, then down a fifth and up a fourth (so the same as your lick except the second half displaced down an octave). You can also look at exercise 32 where he takes 1 2 3 5, then up a tritone, then down a half step to descend the major chord, then up a tritone and down the major chord again; lather, rinse repeat by half steps. Or exercise 33 where it is 1 2 3 5, then up a tritone, then up another tritone, then up another tritone. Then descend 5 3 2 1 by tritones. A very versatile pattern, and Oliver Nelson's book has a lot of other nice patterns to work on. Are you familiar with that book? Thanks!

Nice preview pic. Really cool lighting.

What Remi B said: Nice concept! Well done!

This is one Hot video lesson!..........Why it has not had all 79K views

Blues you can use - I like it. I can't believe that I missed this little gem - I wonder if this is in Mark Levin's book (but I missed it if it is). Thank you

So helpful and yes, so hip!

It seems "Chorinho pra Ele" de Hermeto Pascoal, Great idea!!! Tks

I went back and played this again. Seems like the phrase best fits on the 11th measure of a 12 bar blues after the 2-5 turn around, but then makes it a 14 bar blues. Not sure I'd do it every time through the song, but if I was with a band then they would need to know the changes. In the left hand play these chords for 2 beats while playing the melody. F-Bb Eb-Ab Db-C F It definitely is different.

Fantastic exercise on so many levels for vocalists. Thank you so much! I was going to try to be cool but being newish to Jazz, I have to ask. What does it mean to quote "go outside".

You know! today I was at the food pantry. I kept on hearing a toon in my head while I waited for three long hours then, I thought about you. I saw the most precious and pretty gal. I must've thought by the way they handled themselves that they were Middle Eastern. I was to stupid to know what to say - perhaps she was already married and if I said anything to her, I would sure get my head cut off. needless to say, I had to say something; the way she made me feel. towards the end I just said, comically:. I am in love with you. LoL.. they just laughed at me and said I should get married. Come on! a dude like me has the right to like a pretty face

the simplicity of that last Phrase makes it all work (finishing on b7)

Hi love your presentations and I have a question I cannot get anyone to answer. The Circle of Fifths is my musical Rosetta Stone and yes I can read it backwards as raising fourths. I get confused as to why some people , mainly Bb players, Write it backwards as Fourths which confuses the issue, not helping, as most Piano books and lesson are taught in fifths - ABRSM for example. I hear you saying up a fourth which sound good and of course the standard progression is 1 4 7 3 6 2 5 1 finishing on the fifth. Am I missing something or is this just a way of jazz progressions. Looking at my Real Book most jazz is on the flat side of the circle whereas much classical is on the sharp side, which is why clarinet players keep an A as well as a Bb in their bag. Wish I could sing :-(

There is a recording of Phil Woods ,Live at the Showboat ,he opens with that lick,up then down...its called Cheek to Cheek.....check it out 😎

Dog was outside the changes

Jazzy and Jazz it up will follow you forever now. Lol

Aimee why do you spoil us

Listen to "Chorinho pra ele" by Hermeto Pascoal

is that a gibson behind you?

Penta-patterns are cool because they can be cyclical! :-D

I've been doing that for 60 years; I think I stole it from Tadd Dameron.* I use it on the turnaround, where it's more likely to fit with the rhythm section, the notes being based on tritone substitutions of the last three chords of a standard turnaround. .... Notes 1 2 3 5 are the first four notes of On A Sleepy Lagoon. Maybe Tadd D's and John C's mothers had romantic natures and played Doris Day's version ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-frlkD3cd1rQ.html a lot while their children were still in the womb. Hmm. Worth looking into. I'll make that the subject of my Master's dissertation. *I was right: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tadd_Dameron_turnaround

Sounds very very Border line JAZZYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY

Wish you played it on the piano instead.

first! :-)

Don't Ride Roller Coasters

thats a very unusual but nice and funny way of teaching... nice voice but I think the dog didn't want to hear any of that stuff lol
