This is an OUTSTANDING lesson!!! I've been playing for 45 years, teaching for almost as long and your patent demeanor made this totally understandable!!!!
The sound of altered, is so recognizable and straight that you can use it over any b7 chord, no matter if it is major minor or whatever... Is one of the best tricks for begginers in jazz in my opinion
What helps me with this is knowing where all the notes naturally voice lead into the next chord. That way I can try to create new lines when soloing that make some kind of sense.
I agree with Jens, these are some great lines. What I really like is how you make use of jumps (non consecutive chord tones) over the iim7, V7, and Imaj7. Also, the use of color tones (the 6th, and 9th for the iim7 and the 6, 9, and #11 over the tonic). The combination of these three components really make the lines so good! Perhaps you could make a video that explains how you make use of jumps and how you employ the color tones?
Tremendously useful video, and also the way I like them: succinct and packed with everything from harmonic analysis to application suggestions to practicing advice; we can always replay according to need. I rarely subscribe after one video but did here.
Dude, I saw your michael brecker video and I can't tell you how glad I was when I found out you are still uploading content (since the brecker video is a year old now). I just subscribed and wanted to thank you for the videos!
This is just taking the diatonic triads/chords for the alt scale in the same way that you would for a major scale. However, as another poster noted, seeing those triads really helps in resolving to the tonic. Nice lines.
Yes. And you can also look at approach notes and passing tones to hide the formulaic sound of straight arpeggios. Oh and the reason the E7+5 doesn’t sound great is because it has the root and the 5th of the tonic (resolution), so there’s very little suspension.
Really enjoyed listening to this video. I now see alt chords different. It seem that the melody has a tremendous influence on the chords used. I will be studying this in various songs..
Excellent video Nick thank you very much. I think just major scales every time , for example to play E dorian i think D major . Same is for altered scale even its not diatonic scale. For Galt I think f# major scale except the tonic. I play G instead F# , rest of them is F# major scale.
Hey Dawson! I definitely do study kicks every day. I find that thinking this way, with structures, is much more useful to me when I'm soloing. You should do what works best for you though!
Calling it a tritone sub works 👍 Thinking about it or calling it altered is just another way of organizing it in your brain and gives a specific set of pitches to work with if you are into that kind of thing. I say think about it however it's easiest to get the sound you want out the end of your instrument

Wow, thanks John!! This means a lot coming from you! 🎷

Wow this is simply amazing. Incredible way to wrap your head around the altered scale
This is a great basis for studying jazz
Just getting into introducing some dissonance, with this scale and the HW diminished, so this is gold. Thank you.
Great lines Nick! :)
Thanks, Jens! This means a lot coming from you!!🎸

He's the Man on the Guitar!
Thank you very much Nick Mainella!
Dude, you’re an awesome teacher. Thank you!
I appreciate that!
im a guitarist and this helped me a lot! thanks for this!
Great information and well explained! This is the stuff that learners yearn for. Great job Nick!

Glad you enjoyed it! 😁
Excellent lesson. This addresses my exact problem with the altered scale at the moment. Just what I needed. Thanks Nick!
What great ideas. I’m definitely going to work on this, probably starting with the min 7 b5 first.
Thanks for this great lesson! your teaching is wonderful!
Thank you! 😃
Excellent explanation , breakdown and practicable advice - many thanks !
Nice one man. Love how you deconstructed these concepts
Glad you liked it!
That's a great lesson Nick. Thank you.
I love this!

Excelente vídeo, muchas gracias 🙏 saludos de Chile 🇨🇱
That's a very good explanation and I will have a good plan to use it. Thank you very much.
This is a really fantastic treatment of Alt chords.
Thanks , it's an eye opener. Much appreciated...

Very intelligent approach well explained. Thanks a lot
Most welcome!
Many thanks. A lot of home work ahead...

Glad you enjoyed it!
cleaned out my shed today built a a little rakehfer etc on tje back of the zhef
I am a amateur wood worker. Hate it when I cant find something..
good information for piano
Glad you think so!
These lessons are great ❤❤

Enjoy your videos, useful content thank you.
Glad you like them!
Great! Thanks Nick!!
great explanation!
Thanks!
I am a pianist but your video was great for me
Great !
Great content!
Cool !
can we use enclosure on the triad? thanks.
Good ,have you got the bass part?
How do you decide on the best triads/chords from the alt scale? Is there a principle?
Isnt there an Eb maj triad within the Bmaj7#5 chord? Could be another way to think about it?
great lines brother... is the notation in Bb concert?
Thanks Simon. Yes, everything in Bb!
Excellent! How do I get pdf of the tri-notes scales and 251 licks, please?
Hey David! I haven't put it out in a PDF yet. I'll let you know when I get that figured out!
This is awesome. I’m curious tho... why not steal “licks” from the greats that use these theories?
Hey Dawson! I definitely do study kicks every day. I find that thinking this way, with structures, is much more useful to me when I'm soloing. You should do what works best for you though!
Its 12:30 for me
👍
Why doesn’t anyone just call this a tritone sub? It’s a tritone sub with the #11
