I'm so happy that you are enjoying these videos. Please subscribe if you haven't yet. There is MUCH more good stuff coming. And hey, if you haven't already, please jump in to a Free 30 Day Limited access to JazzWire. I would love to work together with you in a more meaningful (and not too expensive) way. With the Free 30 Day Trial, you’ll see what we're doing behind the wall! You'll be inside in about 20 seconds, no credit card required. www.jazzwire.net/free-trial/. These videos are great, but they are a SHADOW compared to the real work and we can do together!
A great idea would be for you to work with the videos and learn the notes of the example "by ear." Keep rewinding the video until you find the note or notes I am playing. That is a MUCH deeper way to learn, it will improve your ability to hear the music, AND it will get you started on learning to read the notes. A great plan for you.
Cool beans Jeff !! Playing along with you on a keyboard really helps me make sense of this lesson. Now to try it on my horns. Also very good advice about not trying to learn it all. Just learn one thing at a time. Thanks Brah..
Powerful concept Jeff....more 4ths, movement between triads; but I also realized that I don't work inversions enough. Time for me to get to work, and have some fun. Thanks...
So glad you enjoyed this! Tune in for more good stuff in the Digging Deeper Jazz videos. We just had our regular Friday video come out a few minutes ago. Check it out, and keep in touch. Adult amateurs like you are the folks I enjoy really getting playing well. I hope we'll do more together.
I posted this question in reddit a few days ago and this video pretty much answers my questions big time.. especially with the D Dorian example This was my question WHAT IS JAZZ VOCABULARY Can someone please explain me what jazz vocabulary is?.. I know how jazz sounds, it is kinda inside my brain, becauseI have listened to a lot of it.. but I don't know how to express it in a scale improvisation context.. For instance, if I'm improvising over "So What" and I play D Dorian scale up and down, just doesn't sound like jazz at all... neither if I play some random movements in the scale... but if you are playing a 12 bar blues, and you grab a pentatonic scale and just mock around with it.. it does sound like blues.. does it make any sense?... I need some serious help with this
I really like this concept which I'm new to. I do play guitar however. Do you think this concept can work good in other genres besides jazz? Awesome video, I subscribed.
Thanks for tuning in. So glad that you like that videos. And yes, absolutely Randy! These triad pairs are a great way to extend the harmony and give us great solo ideas. It won't fit on every rock tune, but I guarantee some of your heros are hip to this stuff. Stay tuned for much more!
So glad you enjoyed this. Triad Pairs are a very cool (and fruitful) construct for sure. Have fun with them. I generally don't do Skype lessons, but have and would consider it. Really. the best bang for the buck is ww.JazzWire.net. I built Jazz Wire for just this reason, as an option for folks who want to work with me deeper and more regularly. That said, drop me a line at DiggingDeeperJazz @ gmail.com and we can chat!
Happy Near Year '24 and once again I absolutely love the ease of application! Thanks Jeff!

Ank you for this helpful and insightful video! For those of us who can't read music please put the a-b-c letters🙈

Wow! I'm originally from Edmonton, AB, and thought that WE were pretty far north. Cheers, man!!
Hey Jeff, just wanted to say I really like your teaching style. Refreshing approach, thank you👍😎
Joe Cool Sax so glad you are digging the videos!! Stay tuned. Much more good stuff coming!

Excellent videos Jeff you are doing a great job. Please keep 'em coming.
Glad you are enjoying them. Email me if you haven't yet and I'll get you the pdf's.
I appreciate your whole approach. Very helpful.
Good to hear Tom! Thanks for tuning in to Digging Deeper Jazz. Please subscribe - there is much more good stuff coming.
Powerful concept Jeff....more 4ths, movement between triads; but I also realized that I don't work inversions enough. Time for me to get to work, and have some fun. Thanks...
That's a good point. The inversions are what really moves triads from "just some simple thing" into making real music with them.
I'm a sax Player (adult amateur) and i loved very much you Triad pairs. Thanks Jeff.
So glad you enjoyed this! Tune in for more good stuff in the Digging Deeper Jazz videos. We just had our regular Friday video come out a few minutes ago. Check it out, and keep in touch. Adult amateurs like you are the folks I enjoy really getting playing well. I hope we'll do more together.
OMG!!!! This is exactly the type of information I was looking for...
I am right there with you, super thankful
Just earned a new sub man! Great concept
Triad Pairs are THE BOMB! We have a couple other Triad Pair videos here in Digging Deeper. Check them out and let me know what you think.
I enjoy your videos as well.
Great to hear. Please subscribe and keep coming back. Much more cool stuff is on the way!

Good news. Got the email with the pdf just fine today. More good news - this is another one that will have immediate applications for me. Thanks.
Good and great! I'm glad that I got the tech worked out, and I'm thrilled that you'll be playing this stuff soon. I love it.
Loving this! Do you skype-teach?
