Never let me go
Thank you
Inspiring me to get started again
Excelent exercises Sir Tony Winston!
Most useful and important practice to learn jazz
Learning a lot!! From Guatemala
Thanks Antonio!
Thanks tony
Me encanto !! Muy fácil y práctico! Gracias
Super Video !! Thank you !!
Just a question: the "riff" at 10:04, how do you build it? How do you think? Is applicable in different other ways and chord too?
That riff uses 'enclosures' . I use that device so much it has become too prevalent in my soloing but I'm glad you liked it. I can play it fast because my fingers are very familiar with most of the notes i played there.
@@TonyWinston Thank you so much !!! I will make a research about that.
@@TonyWinston This is excellent! I was trying to figure it out in slow motion but it's very hard... hopefully you can make a video of just this riff, or how to do enclosures. Maybe only one riff or short lick/phrase per video, I'm sure everybody would love that, it's a game changer! Your content is pure gold. Your style of playing and teaching is the best. Thanks!
@@TonyWinston Its such an important concept, in my understanding, from Bird to Jerry Garcia.
Thank you very much :)
Yahoo, Tony, this lesson speaks my language. I first encountered the term and idea of "box voicings" in the previous videos and compared those voicings to the A/B voicings you discuss here. I'm more familiar with this lingo than box voicings as its the core of what I got from both my longtime jazz teacher (u of Miami grad and teacher at the new school) and my Berklee online jazz course. One thing that I learned in those contexts, that I never realized the importance of before, is the location of notes on the "meat" of the piano, across the 12 keys. The key of F sometimes being a little tricky as to whether A or B is used, given melody and other notes Etc. But I keep in mind that in the case of C major to E (or F) major the 3rd of both the ii chord and the tonic are on the bottom, whereas in all the keys from F# to B major its the 7th on the bottom.
But anyway one big point that youre getting at here - which is something I think about all the time now - is the common device of moving from a minor to a major tonality or the reverse. My old teacher frankly told me he doesn't necessarily think this way as much as I do, but I find it helpful and interesting as this comes up so much in the music that I love now that (after many years of jazz study) i think more about key centers. With jazz tunes like How High the Moon this device is obvious but Im thinking of stuff like Stevie Wonder's Ribbon in the Sky where its a major ii-V going to a minor tonic, and how the use of the sus chord on the V helps smooth out that transition. But the song to me is all about that device which keeps being used throughout. I dunno I just think about how transitioning tonality from minor/major tonality is employed on songs like "while My Guitar Gently Weeps" (where verse is all in A minor, and chorus is all in A major) and countless other tunes, and I think it helps me in playing them.
The minor ii voicing you mention is using the "crunchy" sound of the 11 next to the b5, and that's something that I learned to employ a lot, maybe even as a suggestion for any minor iib5-V. My teacher called this the "herbie voicing" and its a modern sound I think. Its interesting
to think about how some jazz folks a la Barry Harris say just think of ii-Vs as all V, and with that voicing you're actually on the tonic of the V but that's a note you'd only play for the ii - since in jazz rootless voicings theres no tonics in the voicings.
Great stuff, thanks as always for such pleasant and helpful materials.
Also got a good sensitivity to mixing the major / minor thing from the great Hal Leonard book on Gospel Piano. I have most of the books you mention and recommend and I highly recommend that Gospel book which has so much of the same theory in it as is used in jazz. As I mentioned I'm so sensitive to this device now that I think of it eg in case where a tune moves from C major to Ab major and back (taking a Garcia's ballad "If I had the World to Give" as an example) that I think of the Ab major chord as C minor tonality, in other words the movement from C major to Ab major is in its essence a movement from C major to C minor tonality.

FANTASTIC video!
Do you have a lesson to practice the minor 2 5 1's?
Blue Bossa is a good example of minor 2 5 1. here's a playlist: ruclips.net/p/PLIOpTqumB5KxAYEu4oPrrW47ScV6cLt0n
also this one: ruclips.net/video/oj388qQzGKE/видео.html
If I remember correctly you call these box voicings or something like that
Yes, calling them shapes now. The BOXology wasn't well understood
great vid, thanks
Looking good man 😜
