Interesting stuff. The only thing I question here is avoiding the 4th scale degree on a downbeat. There are so many examples of the 4th being used on a downbeat in jazz. Dozens of Grant Green solos utilize the 4th on a downbeat in gospel tunes and blues recordings. But I certainly understand the effectives of starting a scale on an offbeat as well as using chromaticism to place the 4th on an offbeat.
@ChaseMaddox
2 жыл бұрын
Using the 4th scale degree on a downbeat effectively will come down to the context of what’s played before and after. If it’s a bluesy pentatonic lick for example, then the 4th will work great.

Just bought the arpeggio book and have a few questions: -1st line Cmaj7 -2nd line Em7 is relative min -3rd line-Am7( how is this related)- to Cmaj ? -4th line ( master line)- what is the meaning of this ? Does it combine major and minor? - I didn’t cross out the text- KZitem crossed the text out
@reuben7276

Am7 is relative minor
@ChaseMaddox
2 жыл бұрын
The Cmaj7, E-7, and A-7, all can be thought of as a tonic sound and the arpeggios for E-7 and A-7 can be thought of as Cmaj9 and C6 arpeggios, respectively. At the end of each key you’ll also see the dominant 7 arpeggios for that key. The Master line is meant to connect the shape of the line to the chord in that same position. The whole purpose of the master line is it should help you visualize the harmony in that position better. I provide an ascending and descending Master line for each of the 5 positions, but it’s more helpful to come up with your own master line for each position that connects to how you see the chords/arpeggios.

I always use pentatonic scales just the one that would fit that major key. if I would need G Major I will use E minor pentatonic plus those two notes to make it seven. Its the same notes than the major scale (I believe so at least) but my brain has only to remember one scale and its the position that changes This is because it makes it easier for me. Does that make sense? I am by no means an expert.

In a sense it is. Most analysis of what’s happening in a solo is applying analysis after the fact in ways that possibly are not how the soloist was thinking of it. I still think having some general guidelines is helpful for people just starting to understand this music instead of just saying “learn more vocab”.

I spend a couple hours a day rowing since I suffer from a FURS syndrome. So some videos are too advanced but I try to understand anyway. I have made a video on exercises and self-treatments for the pianist since I developed many techniques for the shoulder and hands and wrists. This could be useful for all musicians. My daughter is editing it so it should be ready in August.

If you're practicing to play jazz, why not swing your scales? Practicing straight fours is a bad habit developed by classical and rock musicians that is tough to break when learning to swing. Yes, start scales on odd beats, and odd notes of the major scales. 👍🏻

Because…? For example, you could make the argument that there are plenty of times when non-chord tones are played on downbeats for deliberate tension or times when chord tones fall on upbeats from anticipating or delaying resolution.

Lol no I don’t know if we do because you didn’t explain your reasoning. I think the basic essence is chord tones on downbeats to sound like you’re hitting the changes and then there is lots of variation in NOT doing that to create tension. Fundamental is still chord tones on downbeats as level 1.
