Great video! Thanks for sharing this knowledge. I get that the “Monk” is for Thelonious Monk’s style and the “Bud” is for Bud Powell’s, but who is Bias? I’d like to check that player out.
You say there’s“not a lot of stuff” here, but I feel like I’ll be working just on that chord sequence that starts on Gb7 for about the next week and a half! Great video. I too have trouble accessing Rhythm, and I bet these three strategies will unlock a door to a secret chamber. Thanks! -Dave
Long time no see! I hope you’re well, and I appreciate the material you’re putting out. I’ll add an exercise to the cycle of fifths thing you’re doing here: the bridge melody of Jordu Keep it up and be well!
Theses are such great videos,One suggestion, can you just take a couple of choruses improvising through "rhythm changes " so we get to hear what the finished product should sound like in a song (just solo over the form without stopping, this would help us hear what you are teaching in context).... Keep the great vids coming !
Thanks! that's a great request and I will post more material on building lines over the songs in question. I'm working through how to pack that into a 10-15 minute video!
Isaac, could you explain the harmonic logic of the substitutions starting with Gb7? I understand what’s going on inside them, but I’m a little unclear as to how you “get into” them. How does the dom 7 form on the b6 (etc.) get to be a sub for the I chord?
Great question! By my reckoning Gb is NOT a direct sub for Bb but rather it justifies itself LINEARLY. The phrase starts “out” and works it’s way back “in”
Hi great video. I’m not a very advanced player. I am getting the A part but I am struggling on the bridge. I thought the form has only four chords on bridge. It looks like your playing 8 chords. Are you playing ll to V instead of just dominant chords?
@@isaacraz I rewatched the video. I completely miss understood the first time. I thought you where playing on the bridge. Your replacing the 1251 3251 first bars by a circle of five starting on g sharp 7 and ending on bar 5. Didn’t know it was possible to do that. Great stuff.
You should check out nausemento :) the minor third modulation works perfect with his scale. It's like magic, you get to the diminished chord and your there.
I'm working on cherokee in Bb atm. I've a question about the scale used on 7th and 8th bar. (Ab7) I've noticed bud plays a scale with D natural. Is this like Eb minor scale starting on the Ab? To be more precise I'm practicing the passing note concept
Yes! actually that topic comes up now and then in class. BH says when you use the natural 4th it gives you opportunities to do suspended type phrases. Also the natural dominant scale offers you the opportunity to use the half step rules. Ultimately your ears are your guide
The D is in the melody of the tune at that chord. It's a backdoor dominant back to Bb or its inversion Gm7 that happens in bar 9. If you think Gm, take the Ab7 as D7 altered
Hi Isaac. Am I going crazy? I remember this video covering single note lines over bars 5 & 6 but I've watched it again and must be in a different video?
There’s the line thing, 1,3,4,#4,5 or 1,B7,6,b6,5 (in measures 5&6) and there’s the Gb cycle move. Two separate ideas. (If I get u correctly that is...)
By far, this is the best bebop rhythm changes lesson! Thank you for this video
That Monk tune, "Humph" is chock full of these.
Thank you, Isaac for posting these excellent videos. So helpful and accessible. Keep 'em coming. A bright light in this quarantine time.
Thanks Michael. Yes, we need this now, and I hope to keep adding more and more. I appreciate your feedback
Thank you ! Very useful video !!!!
Great video Isaac! The Bud line is from “Bud’s Bubble”
Thanks Chez!! Great to hear from you, and will follow up on that! Hey everybody, that's Chez!
This is pure gold ! thanks
Thanks Michele
Some real spicy old stuff thanks for sharing
And very easily made “modern”

Agree! I need to watch this video 10 times to grasp all the concepts demonstrated her...
Thanks guys, yes. that's the thing with BH concepts. here's the concept in 6 minutes, see you in 6 months...
awesome stuff issac!
Thanks Noah, same to you!

Hi Yoram, nice to see you man! thanks for checking out my vids hope to see you in class soon

Great question! By my reckoning Gb is NOT a direct sub for Bb but rather it justifies itself LINEARLY. The phrase starts “out” and works it’s way back “in”
and... what makes it more "in" is the fact that the 3rd of the Gb is the same as the root of Bb. Hence the "common tone" connection
@Isaac Raz Thanks! The idea of moving from “outside” to “in” is helpful.

it's really just four, but many people play the 'related two' on each seventh chord

Nascimento is one of my favs!
What is Nascimento?

the chord isn't even Ab7 necessarily. Often you hear it played as a minor two five to G
Very great lesson!!! for me beginner its little difficulity.would you please give me transricpt this lesson.TQ
Thank you! Transcripts for some lessons are available on my patreon page: patreon.com/isaacraz

Amazing. Thanks for that!! So free and not really patterny
St. Thomas is a little similar. ?
