    nice solo Tim - lyrical and plenty of chops! I'm a retired vibes player, got the chance to study with Gary at Berklee in the mid 70s. I posted my humble version of Grace on YT a few years ago. Search on "falling grace ted wolff". Thanks for posting.....enjoyed your analysis too. Clear and insightful.

    The Neapolitan can be used in any inversion. All it does is take the II chord in a major key, and lower the root and fifth to make it a bII. In minor keys, all you have to do is lower the root since you already have the lowered fifth in that chord. They're used as predominant chords, but also they're commonly used as pivot chords to modulate between keys.

    Db/F is just an altered dominant (G7b9b5).

    • @TimCollinsVibes
      @TimCollinsVibes  4 года назад

      Depending on the context, it could be.. Db/G would be more clear cut - either Altered Dominant or Octatonic.

      @davidbeckertribune607 4 года назад

      @@TimCollinsVibes "You don't need the root", as my friend Pat Metheny always says. Any chord functioning in that capacity (Dominant 7th) type whatever you call it,(A chord wanting to resolve) is in fact just an altered dominant 7th. There are many names that's true as well as many places for it to resolve to. That said, it is up to the composer to give it a name and a function. In the case of Steve (whom I know personally) he even had Mick Goodrick tell him the chord in bar 8 was NOT a C major 7, but a C 7, which we know now as a C/E which resolves to F maj7.

  • @JoeMerlino

    I've always thought that classical theorists overcomplicate the chord by thinking of it as an augmented sixth chord. Thinking of it as a tritone sub is so much more intuitive.

    • @TheClancy115
      @TheClancy115 3 года назад +1

      i spent so long trying to figure out the augmented sixth chord, and i was honestly mad when i realised id been playing them forever on jazz standards.

    • @Domingojazz
      @Domingojazz 2 года назад +3

      There is a difference in the fact that the tritone sub is made with chords that always include the 7th while classical harmony is fundamentally made of triads. The iib7 chord has the same guide notes of V7 chord in the sense that the third and the seventh of V7 are the seventh and the third of iib7 chord. The difference is in the bass: in the V7-I progression you reach the note C from G in the tritone substitution from the note Db. That's how this substitution works. In classical music the typical Neapolitan sixth moves on the V chor not on the I. You can listen to this in several songs of neapolitan music even of our days.

  • @alexbayer9294
    @alexbayer9294 5 лет назад +1

    Cool Analysis! I always think that E-7b5...etc. is a #IV-7b5 cadence in Bb. Also, the Abmaj7 relates to the key of G-/Bb the same way as Fmaj7 to G. That always seemed logical to me. But what do I know? Great playing by the way :)

  • @stephenrothman6058
    @stephenrothman6058 2 года назад +1

    I have always liked this song. So that’s 7keys in just 24 bars. How do you decide when it’s a key change versus just a non-diatonic passing chord while staying in the same key? Like maybe all of the first 8 bars are in G minor and all of bars 15 - 24 are in Bb major? When you improvise over it, are you thinking in terms of key changes? I think I’d be hopelessly confused.

    The Egmatic scales are Harmonic min b2, Melodic min b2 and Double harmonic minor.
    The first inversion...helps you CYCLE DOWN to the 4th.
    A Harmonic minor b2 = Bb Major
    Bb lydian (IV) F major
    Bb Ion ( I) B Major
    Bb mix (V) Eb Major
    Db Iydian Ab Major
    Db ion Db Major
    Db mix F#/Gb Major
    if you play A harmonic min b2...it's simply turn it into an AUGMENTED
    which is Symmetrical
    G min A dim Bb aug
    You can also look at it like this....
    Harmonic min b2 = PHRYGIAN with a LEADING TONE.
    It'll help you see the A as Phrygian to D min/F MAJOR
    You now can play the A phrygian dominant into D min
    You can also play it as Bb diminished
    Bb lydian #2 to D Harmonic min
    Bb lydian b3 to F Harmonic MAJOR
    you can also play Bb7 C7 into F min ( melodic min) to get you to F minor
    or you can see it as....Bb dorian #4 C7 phrygian dominant into F Minor
    You can also play A lydian b3 ( E Harmonic MAJOR)
    It'll help play B7 into E Maj7 or E min
    B7 into E Major.....or G# phrygian b4 into C# min
    C# min/ E Major.......C# harmonic b2....Play D7 E7 into A min again
    The Harmonic min b2 is also just the Dorian b2 with a leading tone Leading Tone...
    Lets say you start from A min....play B dim C Maj...C# dim into D minor
    ( Melodic min = Dorian with a Leading tone) D Harmonic min b2 or Melodic min b2
    Hopefully you'll also see D dorian b2 = C Melodic minor
    You can play F7 G7 into C Minor
    or A dim B dim into C Minor...
    You can do it from the A min...as A melodic min...ect
    B dorian b2...
    instead of play G# into A min......( A harmonic min...ect)
    just play G# dim Bb dim into B min ( G# dim A# dim into B min)
    D MAJOR/B min...
    Then just the see the C Maj7 of B harmonic min b2 to C MAJOR/A min
    You basically CIRCLE Up to D MAJOR...then cycle back down again.
    The 4th...( twice)
    You can also play into D MAJOR or D minor......as C MAJOR or C minor
