hello lee dynes i don't know if you remember me i was your student in 3 or 4 grade

Do you feel anything when play this? Do you feel anything when you hear this?

9:23 also another way to think of it is that u're sorta just playing segments of two wholetone scales, displaced obv by a semitone lol. - like, segments of two. another cool way to utilise the wholetone scale!!

its weird cos i remember as a kid, learning the cycle of 5ths, rather than FOURTHS first, even tho i hear way more abt 4ths in general, esp nowadays

Awesome discoveries and explainations. Thank you.

Super use of Light and Dark as musical description in explaining Coltrane! Influence of philosophy, nature of 5th-4th on Bartok, Revel, “outside the box”. I follow Tory Slusher. Like to see more interactions among organic tone - structure explorers.

This is wonderful stuff! have you every tried reading A Geometry of Music by Dmitri Tymoczko?

Amazing Timing and phrasing with your guitar. Nice mix of tradition and modern playing. I like also the bass: pulse and very melodic solo.. Why is there no actual video of you?

Of course technically adept and the Pat Martino might be thinking " do your own thing!"

Grant Green , Gb and Pat Martino would be honored!

Nailed it

You wouldn't happen to be jewish would you

Hi. How to use out scale notes please

More tuto please ❤

Slowly please

MIND IS BLOWN, thanks

Love your concepts 😂

Love your concepts 😂

This kind of political rhetoric has been exhausted to infinite by now. I’ve heard it in so many ways from so many angles. I enjoy being white and I enjoy the benefits of colonialism. That includes running water and diversity of food, spices and products. Thank colonialism for your guitar and the music it helped facilitate like blues and jazz. Jazz wouldn’t exist without the colonial order to contrast itself to just as light wouldn’t exist without darkness. You are a talented musician and you are good at teaching music but the mixing of leftist political rhetoric is the most typical thing.

Thank you. I've been looking for how to get that Coltrane sound. Now I've got a starting point to work from. Thank you so much!

Thank you.

Digging the musical content but I respectfully suggest you drop the politics as there have been many empires in history before the British and American empires and they all did exactly the same things writ large .

cool. that "someone named Kofsky" is Frank Kofsky who wrote "Black Nationalism and the Revolution in Music" and a revised version called "John Coltrane and the Jazz Revolution of the 1960's" either of which you really would find interesting to say the least.

this was a banger. I would love to see an episode where you pick out specific Coltrane songs or moments and demonstrate how he is expressing freedom and/or resisting western musical regimes

Never had a guitar teacher who shared my politics. This channel is like micro dosing that. I've marked so many sections of your videos to go back to and I really appreciate the way you explain concepts- thanks for the awesome content

back with another damn 🔥

..............Great Video........but i think you have to tread carefully.......just because Coltrane went to a Malcolm X speech......or McCoy went to a Black Panther rally.......thats the only angle of thought they were coming from .....how could anyone disagree with Malcolm when 99% of what he was saying could be proven.....same with the Black Panthers.....but i think McCoy and Trane was trying to show that making a gumbo of different musical sounds in one music composition would show people that different musical traditions from different cultures have more things in common than differences .........all serious Composers try to explore new ways of making musical sound......Trane and McCoy were no different in that respect.......they pushed music foward as far as they could....the future generations of Jazz musicians will find their Generational voice to solve the human issues in the decades they are living in......

wasn't it so that with the Thesaurus there could have been also a way in the direction the same eventually or..?

Instant watch the moment it popped up

I think the things I appreciate are -casual language -casual demeanor -simplification of ideas (not over or under) -hitting topics multiple times -playing and talking about what you're playing Idk I just thought I'd let ya know these videos have helped me understand things I've been trying to understand for literally half a decade and I'm very grateful for these.

Love the well-articulated conceptual and cultural considerations. Blew my mind! Here are some thoughts that clattered out afterward: P5s as Chromatic scale. Q - Why P5s instead of chromatic steps? A - Because half-steps are a very weak harmonic relationship, while P5s are the strongest and most peaceful harmonic relationship in western harmony, due to the nature of the overtone series, with P5s being the lowest unique note within that series as you explain. Also P5s also happen to be THE harmonic motion of cadences in western music, which is the structure of "ending" music. Therefore if you shed your relationship with the 3rd to re-orient around the P5, you've lifehacked the mechanic of western harmony that resolves tension and brings overall chord progressions into focus, it and baked that into your new perspective of improvising through lightness, darkness, and back.

Keep in mind that Ravi Shankar colonized the Brits and rest of the western musical world through the Beatles.😁 Have to say he did a pretty good job of it. Great video though! Love the content. (I know, Beatles aren't Jazz.)

man you rock!

what I get from this is that those pentatonic fragments containing notes from the circle of 5ths..has 12 plus 12 possibilitie's how you pot it because you combine two part of the hole tone scale as well so 24 hours and 24 little fragment-scales..

with this stuff in the end you will make the difference(if not already ) for shure! sort of a distance between amateurish or cliche sound and prof level....

Thanks for the video and presentation. Well done ! You mentioned there was music outside coming into your home. It didn't interfere with your video, but what was going on with that ?

Not sure if you study dialectical materialism or not, but wow it seems up your alley! Very interesting to hear your breakdown.

I think you are totallyt right without the circle of 5ths you can do stuff to but the moment you start using it is more powerfull and binds more together...

To Hip for You Tube🔥😎

Wow, that's super interesting. As a neophyte I find myself interested, but ignorant about how to integrate this into practice.

Nice Anti-White Lesson! Loved it On line PDF or notes would be nice.

fantastic video thank you for the information

I’ve read about this type of harmonic exploration as a possible basis for the music of Bartok. Interestingly, he was deeply informed about the traditional music of a range of cultures. There’s a few books and articles by Elliott Antokoletz that explore these ideas.

I get where you’re coming from, and think it’s fair. Some of the kneejerk comments here are defensive because they can’t hear words like colonialism in discourse without hearing it as an accusation. Yes, we can clearly see/hear music with a different relationship to fourths/fifths has been more common in other parts of the world, and yes, we can clearly see/hear that “western” music has been superimposed on most cultures too, and Yes, stripping back that strong tertian influence and rediscovering the value of the fourths/fifths does allow us a greater perspective of music instead of just assuming there is/was always the classical ( = White-European) way of doing things. Nothing to get upset about. 👍

That simply sounds like crap. It's not even musical, it's merely a degenerate waste of time and energy.

I found it excellent, clear and thorough, rarely achieved, well done!

👍🏻

Wow, the first half was pretty interesting - the second half quite fascinating. The third is all about the minor major tension. Never thought why and how the Tyner Coltrane came up with the 4th and 5th based. I just saw it as "modal" but you expanded my view.

Is the basic theme of these vids to derive the entirety of modern music from a system based on fifths? Whereby the 5th is important not as a dominant (to resolve), but as the first note in the overtone series?
