AVOID NOTES? What're those? Well, don’t be afraid, because these apparently ‘forbidden’ notes are not dangerous at all - on the contrary.
In this NewJazz Lesson we’ll walk through some of the most commonly declared AVOID NOTES - and one by one I’ll show you how they are all COLORFUL, THRILLING and UNAVOIDABLE. Avoid notes give contrast and characteristics to jazz music.
We’ll also play ‘forbidden’ JAZZ CHORD PROGRESSIONS. And by the very end of this lesson I’ll show you a fascinating thrilling SUPER JAZZ CHORD that contains lots of avoid notes. This Jazz lesson will be an exciting and fun musical journey for sure…

When I impovise and happen to play a note that sounds dissonant, I often stay at it and try to find follow-up notes that make that dissonant note fit into the musical flow. This often helps me break out of boring patterns to find new, fresh components in my music.

I do the exact same approach on my improvisation jamming plus repeating the same "error" at the same timing thus giving the intentional use of dissonance and also the opportunity to re-evaluate as a listener.😊

I would go one Thought further, in Melodical Sense, there are only "weak" and "strong" Notes. The rhythmicaly Placement is crucial. And you can see the "wrong" Notes as Leading-Note to the "strong" Note. But the Line needs a understandable Meaning for the Listener.

Great Vid, thx. I learnd that Avoid-Notes only in relation to a Functional-Harmonic Situation should be avoided. Espacialy on Downbeats. But you showed me, that it is also possibel in a II-V-I Prog. Its realy helpfull to make some more thoughts about this term. And it is also very helpfull to have the possible Scales Graphical shown like in this Vid. thx Oliver! Whe need the Avoid-Notes to realise all the Colors of temperatet Music. I think always, the Rhytmical Positioning of Notes are very importend. I learnd so mutch things espacialy in a Practical sence from you! ANd by the Way it is also a good Ear-Training!

It might be the most misinterpreted concept in music that finally, a teacher talks about. That's not all because we are talking about the Best music teacher out there. Thanks 🙏 Oliver.

50 years ago when I was a twenty year old budding jazz pianist, I ran into one of the top players in Buffalo. He said he was so used to playing complex clusters of dissonant chords and odd scales, that they no longer sound dissonant after a while and just more interesting and cool. At 69 years old now, I understand what he meant.

Although i am not a player, i compose and your channel always gives very good insights, thank you. I always like to be mindful where the tritones are in any mode or chord that i am writing, not to avoid them, but to know when to use them or not, in the proper moments when i want the contrast, not acidentally in random fashion. I believe this is the real intention behind such "rules", except people distort it eventually and turn a "use it conscientiously" into a "dont use, its bad". Maybe because it is easier to understand and removes need to think and distinguish when it is desirable or undesirable. Same as patallel 5ths, it thins up the voicing, do not use it. Yes it does, but if i want to make the texture thinner in a moment, also for contrast and impact when it widens again, then it is desirable at that specific moment. Good to see teachers like you helping people out of the musical matrix.

Thank you, Very calming video! Aren't all 13th chords inversions of each other since you play all 7 notes? And in the natural major scale you can order all the notes in fifths. What makes the Dorian one stable compared to the other modes? Just the order of notes?

@NewJazz Ай бұрын

Hi :) Thanks a lot and a good question. Yes, all the Modes have the same interval structure, just different starting points/degrees. The thing about Dorian is that we can order the fifths from the very keynote (staring point) and all the way through the 13th chord and all the 7 Dorian notes. Cheers from Oliver

At 2:25 timestamp there is C Ma7 9 notation. Why not just writing C Ma9? Cause 9th chord already includes the 7th note, no?

@NewJazz Ай бұрын

Hi and good question. I wrote "C Ma7 9" so that the chord would not be confused with the "C9" chord that is a dominant 7th chord (the chord has a minor 7th extension). So I wrote 'Ma7' to indicate that it's a "C9" but with a Major 7th extension; 'Ma7'. Cheers from Oliver

Is there a Rule about the Fingering on Scales.? Where to begin with the Thumb? anyone knows?

@NewJazz 4 күн бұрын

Hi :) Well, no fixed rules about that. Normally we switch between thumb and middle or ring finger (when playing the scale stepwise up and down). And then we can of course do 'hand grips' ;) Cheers from Oliver
