Another fantastic video John, thank you! I remember buying the IOU album when it first came out and hearing Allan's chordal work in vivid detail for the first time. Up till then I'd only heard glimpses of it on the Bruford, UK and Tony Williams Lifetime albums but the minute I heard "The Things You See" leap out of my speakers I thought, "Oh my god, his chordal ideas are even more original and amazing than his soloing!". He was a legitimate genius and will never be replaced.

I've been mesmerized by the harmonic choices utilized by Allan throughout his music. After some time I came up with a way of writing that allows for imitating this sound. They way I think about it is the following: the most important notes, the most audible ones, are the lowest note you play and the highest one so you write those first, only filling in the space inbetween them later. I got inspired to do this by watching reharmonization videos from Gil Evans Inside Out on youtube. This approach is quite flexible because the results can go from more "classical" sounding (if you choose chords with 3-4 notes) to more old-school broadway/ Barry Harris (if you go for a lot of 6th chords and diminished chords) to Debussy/Holdsworth (if you use a lot of sus chords and chords with many extensions and avoid too much functional movement). You can try putting in entire chords after creating the framework, since having 2 notes already limits the available choices of possible chords by a lot. Alternatively, you can think chorally and literally put in one note at a time. Hope this helps somebody in composing, cheers.

@KrystofDreamJourney2 ай бұрын
Definitely yes ! Harris method, Ravel’s or Debussy’s writing - these are just examples of “free” writing, without “scale degrees”. You only have sonorities to worry about. Filling in the gaps between the highest and lowest notes is a very good method. It DOES work! I use it often myself. The hardest, but most rewarding is trying to visualize entire scale across available range (keyboard, guitar, orchestral section etc.), treat the notes-ingredients evenly, especially in close clusters (coloristically). Since the concept is difficult to master for most of us (definitely for myself, ha, ha !) I can focus on just one scale-tonality even for few days, stick with it for a while, check the next day if you’re comfortable and then move on to the next scale…
@Hubip2 ай бұрын
You know, I really get the feeling that this "lowest note / highest note" method was quite commonly used in 80s-90s japanese video game music. Basically, create a good melody with some bass note(s) to go along with it, then fill in the rest inbetween with whatever sound channels you have to spare. If that's due to hardware limitations (can only play a few notes at once) or how japanese musicians are typically trained I cannot say. ...maybe this sounds like an oddly specific thing to point out, but I 1) like that style and 2) I get excited when someone else mentions this method. 😂

@@Hubip I mean, the Japanese were writing counterpoint more or less, just not the baroque kind, typically. Yet, even when looking at baroque music, like Bach's chorals, you see that the middle voices are typically the boring ones and everything happends in the outer frame which makes me think that perhaps even the old masters used to first write the most audible voices first, only later filling in the voices in the middle.

5:46 ! Bingo ! That's what it really is. John, you truly "saved the mankind" !! (I love that comment below). I have been using this concept forever, especially in orchestral writing. In piano soloing too, especially in free improv or composing... The main thing here is that Alan while playing ANY chord, he automatically and instantaneously visualized entire scale ! And this is a genius in itself. Then he moved to another chord, and automatically "heard" that upcoming entire scale... Holy cow ! Here's the method that helped me to apply the concept to the piano : 1. Identify all notes of the scale. 2. Treat them evenly as "bricks in the wall" to construct ANY combinations of these notes vertically. No note is more important than the other, so the concept of scale "degrees" doesn't really apply here, just like in some Ravel, Stravinsky, Bartok, Williams, Goldsmith, and plethora of orchestral writers, film composers etc. 3. You do NOT need to name these "chords" (or rather sonorities) separately. Just focus your mind on visualizing corresponding scale. And that's hard at the beginning, but then it gets easier and easier 🙂 4. Similar approach applies when you study Barry Harris concept for example. You build these chords of corresponding notes of the scale (in all 12 major and minor keys). Or when you study Messiaen modi of limited transposition. Bravo John !! You did a remarkable job for all of us and for posterity... I've watched Alan's videos (the ones from the 80s), studied the "Reaching For The Uncommon Chord" - all of that is OK, but your explanation of "everything Holdsworth" sheds a new light of narrowing down to his concepts, and favorite choices. Something that Alan had sometimes difficulties to explain himself, when asked in workshops or after the concerts. I already went through your entire videos, including my favorite - "Spokes" (something i can really apply to the keyboards).

Holdsworth’s compositional approach in harmonic terms was actually quite simple, with little in the way of complexity or theoretical density. Rhythmically there was almost always more to it, and of course there were the fearsome challenges in the execution. But this constant stuff about the compositions themselves being somehow very complex is just wrong.
@TurrigenousOfficial2 ай бұрын
True. The complexity is more about the amount of variations and changes within the piece as well as the changes in times altho those feel very natural. Soloing over those changes are usually tricky because often there are a LOT of different changes to remember. His chart for Lanyard Loop is a nightmare!

Do you feel,now, after played almost every chord and invertion, combination that Allan did, if that explains why he did recognize an particular scale or scales inside of theses strucutres(?)... meaning why he did not call the chords names!!!? I don't know if I agreed with some notations like the ""maj with 11" in some cases, or "m75+" (sometimes sound like a triad with 9), and specially on this kind of "sound" and as we knew the music Allan was listening to; Bartók, Stravinsky, Schoenberg, Debussy and jazz, etc... but I still recomend all of your videos for everyone who knows or likes Allan's music. Thank You!
@TurrigenousOfficial2 ай бұрын
Thanks! Again, the names aren't important and interperative. Sometimes it's easier to think of those chords with a simpler name than a more complex one because of how it sounds. It's good to be familiar with those chords in as many ways as you can in order to use them in interesting ways. As for seeing chords as parts of scales, I'd need to see more of his lead sheets. So far it seems every maj7#5 chord is always used as Melodic Minor, as a min/maj9 with no root and any of those min/maj7#11 chords as part of the Diminished scale.

Okay, so kind of a modal approach to chords, not functional harmony.. in terms of internal logic, using sequences and following the melody.. what about going between modes or keys, did you notice any patterns to those movements? (Maybe a song has 3 chords that could be considered part of D Dorian, and then another 4 chords that belong to A melodic minor, etc..) I wonder if Allan chose the modes/scales and key centers before choosing the chords, or the other way around
@TurrigenousOfficial2 ай бұрын
Allan was familiar with modes but never used them the way we are familiar with them. As for keys, there may be some sort of style to them but I never got that far. Allan would certainly choose the scale AFTER the chord IMO most of the time. He may have an idea before hand but he's often said he'd write a chord sequence THEN figure out the scale for the solo so I'd imagine the head parts would be the same idea.

I just meant modal like modal jazz, like staying with one scale for some time and playing chords that are basically clusters of notes from that scale; nonfunctional… so I think I could have just said ‘scales’ to convey the same idea. In my own music, I’ve done the same thing; chords first.. but I think it might be an interesting approach to stay with one scale for a bit longer, play some more chords there.. before moving on to the next one.. so kind of a hybrid of the two approaches
