    Thanks a lot, brother, I want to harmonize my melody with chords(diatonic) and progress to techniques like chord substitution,is there any books that have the relevant exercises and some examples from popular music?(classical is also fine)

    • @decipheringguitarmusictheory
      @decipheringguitarmusictheory 7 часов назад

      You're welcome. The book in the thumbnail picture of this video will take you through harmonising with diatonic and later, chromatic chords (and other related concepts) and the harmony books in this video ruclips.net/video/S9C0nd6EaI/видео.html talk about substitutions and other things related to Jazz. Basically, it's all the same ideas but used in different contexts; once you're comfortable with one genre using the ideas in others may only require slight modification. Thanks for the comment

    Hi I have this book and have the exercise book too. And as a completely beginner in jazz (besides I already ve known how to make scales, chord types, reading notes etc.) I can tell that imv this book is complete crap for newbie. I still have no clue how to improvise on counterpoint (but since the very beginning they demand this from you in exercise book) this book doesn't even give proper example what the counterpoint is and i had to spent an hour surfing through the internet to at least get the gist of what the heck that is. And this is just one example, but in this book majority of exercises are using the rules which were only broadly (like without details or examples) mentioned before. When the book's title says from beginner to advance i expect some explanation. I don't recommend the book. Sry for language I'm not native.

    Can whole tone scales and quartertone music also be mirrored? Can melodies using four species counterpoint also be mirrored to produce more complex and lush arrangements?

    • @decipheringguitarmusictheory

      Theoretically, any scale can be mirrored likewise any texture although, especially with denser textures, the resulting sound may be questionable

      @AAAA-lt9hq Месяц назад

      @@decipheringguitarmusictheory Thank you. I wasn't sure if modern formal rules of counterpoint allowed mirroring. I'm aware pretty much everything can be done, but like how a maj11 is a rare chord, I guess when I say "can" what I mean is "Is X often or even rarely done in Y situation?". I'm one of those people who likes thinking of music like grammar. The rules spare me from chasing elusive tones with my ears until my ears have improved to the point that I no longer have to think about the rules. Thanks again.

    00:30 atonality/12-tone is not a jazz theory though. it is a classical composer theory. berg is not jazz either. modes of limited transposition is not jazz theory either. yet there is no figured bass I bet, or probably even counterpoint. so basically...it sounds like this book is simply another textbook from the American education system's corrupt perspective on how to learn music. by the title 'jazz theory' they must actually mean 'post-1880 music' and just are using the term 'jazz' to sell more copies. explain why the best textbook is not still CPE Bach's textbook, 'the art of keyboard playing', especially considering it is zero or near zero cost to get a copy and actually contains the fundamentals of music.

    I'll echo another commenter. I think you really need to include audio to accompany your explanations.

I didn't include audio of Terefenko's examples as I didn't want to infringe on any copyright and for my own examples I only included the scale models without audio to encourage people to work with the ideas themselves. Partimento-style exercises are supposed to be about experimentation. But I agree, perhaps I could've/should've included at least one audio clip. Thanks for the commen
