      It's hard to even find good teach here in north New York! Many musicians sure, but bad teachers. This guy is an exceptionally good teacher! I quit my real lesson with a female jazz musician because she has no plan and no skill at teaching, every lesson was a chaos and frustration, I played the piano for 20 years but not I feel more handicapped than before. Also, at least there is RUclips access in Ukraine, China blocks RUclips!

      I was introduced to jazz and took jazz guitar for a year. Took jazz piano for a year. Not a pro but this may help.some.people new to the genre. Today. Today I tried to play Db scale over a G7..largely discordant..Sounded like a good idea at the time. I noticed if you modified the chord to ..lets say a G7b9 which is nothing but an Ab B D F..that works better. I also the alt scale over it..my trick is start first 4 notes as the 1/2 wholescale..then whole scale. G Ab Bb B Db Eb.F G. So I think that this would be a good compromise. Root b9 #9 3 b5 #5 b7 Root. I think this scale is one that every struggling musician should learn. it is very typical of
      modern music from the 30s up. Best to start with A quick hack that I have used to find this scale is to
      b all the notes of C to get the altered scale. Say. C Bb Ab Gb Fb
      Eb Db C. Read this backwards in ascending form.. It becomes the altered scale.C Db Eb E Gb Ab Bb C. This works in all 12 keys. So
      So I've read in numerous articles that all the necessary notes of the
      C7 Dom chord.Root 3 b7 or C E Bb
      are unchanged and I notice that the 5 is missing.This is because the unnecessary. It is often modified. The altered scale does all this. It has b9, #9 etc. Knowing this one scale helps us probable better than amy scale..except we must know all 12 scales..That pattern takes a few seconds..about 5 . 2 and a half 3 and half . 2 1/2. 3 and. 3. 1/2..All for now.

    This initial approach you showed with the dominant shell voicing makes so much sense now. I always thought when analyzing old blues pieces that artists would just use dominant shell voicings descending chromatically , but in fact they are just playing the 1-4-5 blues progression with the Triton sub.

    Tritones are good if you are playing classical or an instrumental , mostly jazzy. If you are singing and playing , then your singing might go offtune or the singer that you are playing for and that singer will give you a sinister or angry look, lol. A hint , you can do a tritone on only one additional key , either ascending or descending whilst someone is singing without leading that singer into offtune . Single note of tritone but not the fingered chord either left or right of the keyboard or piano. Thanks for your input on tritones, great video.

    Front door 7alt backdoor 7+11 back door tritone sub these chords are mirror images of each other and interesting because both chords contain 2 tritones 3rd and 7th as well as root and +11. This puts them both into the modes of melodic minor. Chromatically altered harmony is powerful.

    • @PIANOSTYLE100
      @PIANOSTYLE100 7 лет назад +3

      rawstarmusic I am writing this because you are exploring the jazz gendre. This video lesson begins to open up jazz to to you, if you mine it depths. if you read this over and over it will help you. I am texting so there may be some​ typos This is a little involved but can be learned in one sitting at the piano. Two things to point out, the flatted fifth note of the diatonic scale is the tritone. cdefg (scale of c up to fifth note) flat the fifth or go up six semi tones or go up three semitones. all land you on the coveted , much espoused , gotta know , tritone. in c it will be gflat. There is a special relationship with the tritone it is basically a half step above where you would go in basic music theory. I may be playing in c I play a g flat7 instead of a g7. the notes of of a gflat 7 chord are( gflat bflat dflat f flat) . . Now this is key,.Jazz revolves and lives and breathes with the circle of fifths. So in you were playing a song and c was the five chord it will resolve to the one chord which is the f chord. Remember this chord it is your target chord. But the jazz has has chromatic movement.. Now I break things down to the simplest way I can understand it.. getting back to the chord.. take the gflat seven. I'll write them again ( gflat bflat dflat fflat). Now remember that our Target chorf in this example will be fmaj 7 or possibly another dominant. Flatting all the notes . ( the gflat will be f, the bflat will be a, the dfat will be c the f flat or e note will be eflat.) if you take a note book by your piano I recommend a spiral. and write this down and make the gflat 7 and drop all notes by a semitones or half step, there right before your eyes will be the home chord of f ( this will be a dominant seven faceflat and you can change this to fmaj 7, face.)) jazz musicians are the among the most advanced musicians in the western world. They hone their skills day and night. Many grew up playing classical. I have a little back ground in jazz but is not my forte also play a little jazz guitar.

      Benjamin Thomas I am a guitarist and teach guitar occasionally. I walk both sides of the street. I'm going to talk about both. just some thoughts.. the modes are just another way music communicate with each other pentatonics minor and major..ECT.. Jazz pianist of which I am not yet, do talk about the modes Alot. I see alot of videos that talk about it. Many videos are not aimed towards advanced players. I don't think I've ever heard anybody talk about jery Lee Lewis smoking that mixilydian mode when he scraped his them down on the keys in great balls of fire. Mr guitar, Mr atkins said he didn't read anymore music than necessary. He was a extremely talented and knowlegable musician. Chet was at first rejected by Nashville.. On guitar scale charts you have a verticle feel usually in a five frets, which are are movable. So the new guitarist can play in all twelve keys in a week at some level. Not so on the piano. it is not really symmetrical. To learn the major scales the new pianist has to learn 12 scales. The fingering is different on almost all keys. So we weren't taught modes as such, unless you were in the jazz genre. it really is unnecessary except as a way of cataloguing and identifying songs. in guitar you can hear the Dorian. Heavy metal uses the phrigian ECT. As a pianist and guitarist, guitar is often a follow the frets always same results but due to the physical layout it is more in initial work. However as you advance into higher levels like Chet and Brent Mason and Jerry Reed then it's a whole new ball game. At the higher levels in both stringed instruments and piano ( which is stringed also),the knowledge level comes together somewhat.. Now having said all that if you play the simplest for country songs ..There are literally millions of examples. As long as you don't modulate or complicate the song, you will often be playing the modes. Playing in c all notes c in d minor all notes are c scale. .. playing in e minor all notes from c scale, f just notes from the c scale, g same a minor same, aminor same.. locrialn on the bminor 7 flat 5. . just some thoughts. . So we've been playing modes for years and didn't know it.

    • @PIANOSTYLE100

    • @xydex99
      @xydex99 7 лет назад +3

      Benjamin Thomas there's a fair bit of difference in the neural pathways formed playing either instrument, in that you might say guitarists are more concerned with knowing the shapes as things are so easily transposable on the fretboard whereas obviously pianists have to familiarize themselves with each key, more or less. Which is not to say either one talks about modes more or less, but having been a piano player first, things like inversions and cluster chords came very naturally to me whereas a lot of these things tend to be more premeditated on the guitar (for me) and I assume the same kind of difference might extend to understanding of modes.

    So, simply stated, the Tritone = the flatted 5th?

    • @MangoldProject
      @MangoldProject  7 лет назад +32

      Correct.

      Or the sharp fourth. Or three whole tones stacked on top of each other. Or two minor thirds stacked on top of each other. The last one is the way I like to think of it.
      Then there's also the interval between the fourth tone "Fa" and the seventh tone "Ti" and visa versa -- f to b or b to f.

      Example: E and Bb is a tritone. They could be the 3rd and 7th of a C dominant 7th or they could be the 7th and 3rd of an F# dominant 7th. F# and C are tritones. Therefore C7 and F#7 can substitute each other.

    Thanks, been having trouble getting it to sound right, but it sounded great tucked into a 2 5 1 progression, so I guess context helps.

    I've been watching your videos for a long time and I've always been impressed. Have you deliberately adopted a approach with your latest videos as I'm finding them easier to follow and you seem to be achieving a wonderful blend of theory, application of theory and some beautiful playing. Your piano sounds beautiful too, what is it and have you recently had it tuned because it sounds very sweet. Final question I notice what appears to be a European power strip, so where in the world are you? Thank-you again for sharing your wonderful skills with us, I'm sure you will live on in RUclips for many decades.

      It's not a real piano, it's a Roland RD700GX. They need to start paying me sponsorship fees or something :). I'm from Israel. We have European style electrical outlets here (we're also 220V).
