    These modes are the most neglected in the study of jazz improvisation because they are minor and difficult to understand. Most musicians are just familiar with the Major scale modes which seem to be easier. I have studied modes but none ever explained them to me as you do. Here I've encountered the best explanation that makes sense. Thanks.

    The best of YT, the best lesson ever. Oliver your lessons are excelent! So clear and, importantly, you have invented a slow english style that allows all non-native english speakers to understand everything. This makes your lessons really universal. And of course your pedagogic insight comes from a very high knowledge of music. I've never been taught that there were so handy rules to easily mix notes from different scales, If I'd had known this from kid ... !! I'm so grateful to you for your efforts! Keep doing good!

I am a physsicist so I am not have plenty of time to enjoy your lessons, but I will try regularly, and as soon as I can I will colaborate with your economical support. Thank a lot from Argentina.

    I have to say, I'm in love with this video, with the melodic minor modes realm of jazz and with the circle of melodic minor modes. Pretty much every mode you played on the circle touched and moved something deep and mysterious within me. And I don't say mysterious lightly as I consider mystery to be among the most sacred of things. I also want to say that your temperament and tendency toward exploring the value and assuming the great value of things that tend to be counter intuitive to dominant culture very much excites me. I feel a kinship with people who magnetize toward that place on the spectrum of humanity. I feel such gratitude toward you for the videos you make, and this one in particular. Thank you for making this video! And I just learned you're on patreon so I'll be heading over there to offer a contribution now.

    one day, while explaining basic 7 modes of the major scale to my bass student, I almost nonchalantly mentioned that there is this strange scale, melodic minor. And something pressed me to explore its modes of which I was totally oblivious about, in front of my student. In an instant I discovered a whole world of sounds I never knew existed. Immediately I could just doodle great sounding jazzy soundscapes, and the day after I came with a nice tune solely in melodic minor, based on a i-IV and then V-ii vamp, to just utilize the Lydian dominant and Aeolian dominant sounds.

    thanks a lot for making musical theory possible to learn in small steps.i just discovered, following your idea of hand grips, its also a good exercise, to break the first scale into two halfs.first half is four fingers, wholestep half step whole step whole step and then play all the scales in a cromatic way up and down, but just with the first half of the scale .its a good way to have already the first half easily memorised, and the handgrip with four fingers is a good training ,and can be already used for all kinds of improvisations... anyway best regards,and thanks a lot for sharing,breaking down knowledge into simplicity,is so often missed,in teaching and learning. its much better to learn a tiny thing each day then to try to grasp more than the mind can digest and end up with unresolved mysterypuzzles....in taiji or feldenkrais somatic movement, its actually very similar, the neurons in the brain can only learn,if the movement is slow enough in the beginning and can be understood,so there will be new pathways between nerves muscles and neurons.. learning theory is actually a field of its own, and rarely taught or understood properly.its a kind of synchronisation process and also integration is only possible by learning to leave away the unnecessary for a certain process.a very good read about the topic is the book by moshe feldenkreis.... anyway greetings to the jazzy busdriver.there are also a few good interviews with bill evans, where he says one must start from simplicity,otherwise we might get lost later in the process..

    @paxwallacejazz 5 лет назад

    When i was a teen i was a sax in school big band so I was looking for new jazz sounds that I considered harmonically advanced yet edgy beyond main stream. I found Wayne Shorter Ballads in general and Iris in particular with it's resolution to an Abmaj7#5 chord. So 44 yrs of composing and playing later let me say that sonically pinning down the (location) of the half steps of what ever scale determines establishing that tonality in the listener's ear. Just like the maj7 chord does in major scale world in melodic minor world it's the major7+5 chord. +=chromatically raised not added. So the quickest way to find these hip voicings is to play a major7+5/root there is only one major7+5 per scale. Then you make what ever note alterations that theory and your ear require. Now here's the treat. Try playing a pedal and superimposing different major7+5 chords you'll find at least 7 that have an inside relationship. There are others that pull you outside of this tonality like Fmajor7+5/Bb but that's another story. These chords are found in Kenny Wheeler, Shorter, Ralph Towner and my compositions to name a few. Like sus(-9) a chord Trane liked becomes Fmajor7+5/E or (E in the bass). Or you might derive a progression like C-9,Dbmajor7+5/C,C7+11,Abmajor7+5/C,F#maj7+5/C, C7alt =Emajor7+5/C, to Csus like McCoy. Happy hunting. P.S. 44 years ago this tutorial woulda saved me alot of work.😎

    @newunderthesun7353 5 лет назад

    I've watched many of your videos. What I would like to see is a practical analysis of a piece and you explaining what the player did - what chords they played, key changes, what modes they used to improvise, the chord progression they played, etc. For me, my current favorite pieces are Joey Alexander playing My Favorite Things (studio version) and Joey Alexander playing City Lights (studio version).
    I think it would tie many of your videos together and would provide great insight if you could walk us through either of these pieces and explain everything as I described. From what I can tell Joey has a fantastic grasp of his chords, keys, scales and modes.
    But I'd rather hear you explain it.
    And to those detractors out there, yes I know Joey Alexander is not the best jazz pianist or improviser out there, but it's what I like today, right now.

      Hi and thanks a lot for your input. What I want with Music and with this channel "NewJazz" is to seek new styles and new ways to improvise Music. There is nothing wrong with "old jazz" - I just wanna experiment and see what happens if we move on - that's where I get my inner drive... I surely hope you understand my motives and that you still wanna follow the "NewJazz" channel - at least to get inspired 😉 Warm regards from Oliver
