Melodic Realignment in Denser Contrapuntal Textures
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)
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
aussie for sure
Close, New Zealander
@@decipheringguitarmusictheory aaah close, thank you for the videos! please keep it up!!!
@@kizu5451 Thank you
Never knew Django had done this! And Grapelli’s solo is fantastic!
Yes, it is. Classic
Yea Pat, we know it 🙄
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.

No wasted time, just pure action and information. Your videos deserve way more attention.
Thank you
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?
Theoretically, any scale can be mirrored likewise any texture although, especially with denser textures, the resulting sound may be questionable
@@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.
It was just what I was looking for!! Thank you!!
You're welcome. Happy you found it useful
Please where can I find the records of the book for free
Keen to know where to learn about the use of tetra chords
Thank you for sharing this information. I am assuming that by "introduction" you mean "introduction for university or graduate level professional Music students.
Very educative!!

In that responsary we use the so-called "fa super la" everytime we come across b flat note next to a la note to avoid mutate for the sake of just one note.
Good video!

Thanks for the advice!!! So, Malmsteen creates a melodic pattern and repeats in diferent notes to create tension a interest ? I have always thinked that Malmsteen is a very capable composer, with a lot of resources and techniques, thanks for your analisis.
👍
His book on The Jazz Standard is good.
🥰Always liked this solo since I listened the song qhen I was a teenager, I played and I thinked that all the ideas were of Heavy Metal origins, you show me other perspective, many thanks, I will tryto incorporate these ideas to my playing, I want to see all of your videos, many thanks.
You're welcome, happy you found it useful
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.
Thanks for posting this. I am a composer and from time to time just need to refresh myself on these matters and find such videos quite helpful for both me and my students.
Happy you found it helpful, David. Thanks for watching
I’m in over my head here, but it works for my ears!! Fascinating seeing the theoretical side of things.
Often times, the largest treasure one can find, is in videos that seems nobody find before. This was so helpful, this is what they should teach. Thank you sooo much, i would like to contact you but cant find any info. Would love to chat about counterpoint from time to time, to solve some mystery,. thx!
Thanks for the comment, I'm happy the video was helpful. My email is on the channel page
That is a Great book, everyone that wants to know music, not just Jazz, but music in general, should get there hands one this one!! Thank you for show us this book, he also has three more, do a video one them, thanks again.😎👍
ok, ok...
Incredible ! Thank you for this video!!
You're welcome
The best piece of music ever written, hands down. And if you haven't seen the Eroica movie please look it up: it's a wonderful fictional rendition of Beethoven's first rehearsal of the entire symphony.
enoyed this video. thank you for posting, and thanks for the book recommendation 'Serialism' by Arnold Whittall ___ seems like a good entry point for understanding. been looking for something like this. 🙏🏻
You're welcome Ken. Thanks for watching
Thanks. If I listen to this, it sounds to me like C Ionion with C as the tonic, although it ends on a G chord (V chord, and G Moxolydian has the same notes as C Ionian. I don't understand this at all, sorry.
Thanks for this.
You're welcome

I don't get the A melody on the Abmaj7#11 in the next last measure of B. No matter how you voice it it sounds wrong. I think it's a different chord in the melody. Maybe A13b9?
do you have the music sheet of the solo GREAT ANALYSIS!!!
Does it cover music theory in its lessons? Since it's an important skill for analyzing a piece, I see it as a norm.
Thanks. It's rare to find this depth of harmonic analysis in RUclips, I really needed it
Happy you found it useful
Thanks for helping me😁 with my work.

Please give some audi examples. I love this topic but I dont quite understand it... How do I start?
Very good video
Thank you
Yes, as with many of your other videos, I did find it useful. Thank you very much.
Thank you harmonicamick908
This is so concisely and brilliantly laid out, cheers!
You're welcome
I'll echo another commenter. I think you really need to include audio to accompany your explanations. This is good information, but, and I mean this with all due kindness, substandard pedagogy because we as musicians benefit greatly from hearing immediate audio feedback of the concepts you're discussing.
I had already replied to the other commenter so I'll just cut and paste that comment here. But thank you for your constructive feedback, it's appreciated. 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
These are some intriguing topics for discussion. However, the presentation could be enhanced by some audio examples. Otherwise it’s like talking about a painting without actually showing it. Keep up the good work, i’ve found your book reviews very helpful, esp the mention of Bert Ligon’s book

I think of a Weaver of Dreams as a Romanesca. Anyway, I've been thinking about doing a book like this since I found at about ROTOs... I guess now I don't need to haha
Always space for other people's approaches, maybe you can add to the concept
@@decipheringguitarmusictheory perhaps! Need to check out the book…
I have a question; wouldn't the vii°⁴² actually be +VI°⁴² ?
Are you referring to the F sharp dim 7th immediately after the tonic Am chord? Because these are all common-note dim 7th chords, decorations of the bass note, I labelled them as viio4/2 instead of relating them to the overall key of A minor. Thanks for your comment
@@decipheringguitarmusictheory Yes i am. I'm just trying to learn theory one step at a time. It's proving difficult for me to analyse because on the score it looks like that's the pivot chord, but the only progression i can make sense of it with is the augmented 6th °7 to V. Thanks for the analysis!
Thank you
Hi, I don’t quite understand the last part about missing thirds. Could you please explain why the chord after a minor “i” is not iv b?
Hi siweifang2845, the chord is iv b. My point is that it isn't VI (F major) which is often used, as in the earlier examples. Thanks for the comment
@@decipheringguitarmusictheory That clarified my confusion. Thank you!
0:58 the 7th in a 7th chord is a harmonic note
why don't you play this?
