Hey there. This was a good way to think about it and I might share it with a few of my students. You are absolutely right to focus on the forward motion of the line through the dominant chord. Another way to arrive at the same element of the idiom on a long 2-5-1 is to reserve the tasty color notes for the last two beats of the chord. A lot of beginning and intermediate players will go right for the juiciest tensions right at the beginning of the V chord and then have no where to go that raises the stakes as you move towards the tonic. Starting with the tense notes of the V chord and then moving to the more diatonic ones really takes the motion and flavor out of the line. Your way of breaking this down is very easily explainable and easy to demonstrate.
Dude, this education is top shelf. So the ii has the V's 9 and 11 which sound chill, then spicier extensions are organised towards the end of the bar.. so the tension kinda crescendos. F**king brilliant.
Absolutely LOVE this series. Not sure if you’ve ever heard this referred to as “teasing the v chord” or thats just a thru the grapevine reference to me.
Way to go, Dave. As a guy who’s been playing professionally for 47 (!!) years I can’t help but think about how much farther along the bridge I’d be now had someone explained it so clearly as you do here when I was in my teens. Of course, the self discovery method has its virtues, but it took me a whole bunch of time. Maybe I’m slow! You are a great teacher, an excellent musician, and you play your ass off. Thanks.
Really neat way of looking at this. I'm not really a jazz guy, but I'm developing a sincere appreciation for it and this gives me a lot to practice, so thank you! Also, your playing is lovely.
@@DavePollack Thank you ! I was aware of playing a m7b5arppeggio from the seventh of a dominant chord to hear some altered notes (F m7b5 over G7), that gives us : minor seventh, flat 9, major third, b13. And your exercices complete this very well, awesome !
Sick vid dave! When practicing these concepts in all keys do u recommend going one concept in all keys at one time or all of them in one key at a time? Appreciate your content keep it up!
@@DavePollack Thanks for your great videos. Btw I didn't see the link you said was below explaining about tritones. but, that video was more about creating voice-leading melodic solos. Super helpful as well. If there is a video you made esp for Tritones, I'll look for it inside your channel.
Hi Frank I'm not sure if I'm confusing you more. However, here's what I understood - if we think of Db7 as C#7, I can relate the sharps better to the Bmaj7 chord. As you know, every V7 chord has a related II minor7, which in this case is G#minor. The notes B, D#, F#, and G# correspond to the Bmaj7 chord. If we look at the relation between C#7 and Bmaj7, B is the 7th of C#7, D# is the 9th, and F# is the 11th. Thus, C#7 and Bmaj7 have common notes. Now, let's consider C#7 ( the so-called tritone ) over G7. C# is the 11# of G7, E# (which is the same as F) is the 7th, G# is the b9, and A# (which is the same as Bb) is the #9 of G7. he pointed that out before but as Db7. Again, if you look at it in sharps instead of flats, you can see Bmaj7 involved. Overall, it seems like everything is connected in one way or another. I believe Dave is giving us a shortcut so that we don't have to struggle mentally. I might be wrong in all my analysis though, as I'm not sure if this is exactly how Dave thought about it. Honestly, he's the master here in every aspect. I'm nothing but grateful for his great videos. Hope this helps. Regards

I’m so glad you like it!!
Excellent structured and simplified way to explain tension on a II-V-I progression Thanks Dave!!
So glad you enjoyed it! I appreciate the kind words
Tks Dave. Brilliant video.Explained so simply and so effective.
So glad you enjoyed it!
Absolutely LOVE this series. Not sure if you’ve ever heard this referred to as “teasing the v chord” or thats just a thru the grapevine reference to me.
Thank so much! I haven't heard it called that, but I also haven't heard of a lot of things 😂

Hmmm, very very cool. And, nice lighting
Thanks!
You're welcome!
Brilliant stuff. Just started rhythm changes this week. Will keep these in my back pocket!
Awesome!
Really neat way of looking at this. I'm not really a jazz guy, but I'm developing a sincere appreciation for it and this gives me a lot to practice, so thank you! Also, your playing is lovely.
Wow - thanks so much!
Brilliant, Dave! Today is my birthday and this is a wonderful gift! Looking forward to working on this, thank you!

So nice!
The masterclass is killing it!!!
What happened to your patreon page?? Thank you so much!!
Sick vid dave! When practicing these concepts in all keys do u recommend going one concept in all keys at one time or all of them in one key at a time? Appreciate your content keep it up!
Nice 🔥🔥🔥👌
I love to play on G7 ..
..Db F Ab
G B D
Db F Ab to the G ( 5th of C Maj 7)
Or even depending Db Ab F to the 3rd E in C Maj 7
Can you do a video on the Coltrane Pentatonic please
I thought the Tritons sub for G7 was Db7?
did you watch the whole video? I explain it all
@@DavePollack I’ll watch it again but you used a B natural and called it the Tritone sub. Just asking!

Thanks for your explanation. What I couldn’t see was that it was the tritone sub of the Dm! I was looking at the G7. Duh!
Omg
I love to play Tritone triad pairs
C triad & F# triad
B & F
Bb and E
A & D#
G#& D
G & C#
Thanks!
You're welcome!
