Creating Linear Connections Using Guide Tones in Jazz Improvisation

This is the first of a two-part series on linear improvisation using guide tones. The ear naturally gravitates towards strong chord tones, and building around them will give your lines a stronger structure and shape. I'm using a common progression (Autumn Leaves, Theme from M*A*S*H) to demonstrate how guide tones (derived from harmony) can help you create beautiful, flowing lines. At 8:14 I demo and improvise over the four formulas that are discussed in this video.

I am so happy I clicked on this video!! This is the most organised and comprehensive treatment I have seen on the topic of guide tones. Thank you!!

Thanks. I am a guitarist, but still got a lot out of this. Keyboard is such a clearer visualization for harmony than the fretboard. Thanks

That was amazing improvising! That came out of practicing using the guide tones of 2-5-1’s? I imagine you used some passing tones as well. I’m going to try it.. Thank you so much!

I don't understand why at 7:08 the 9th of Bmin9b5 is a C and not a C#. Or should it have been a b9?

So what is the exact role of the inner lines are they used for smooth voice leading for chord progressions?

@hikaru9482 Жыл бұрын

The inner line is not the melody。the inner line is the soul of a chord progression.the melody is a counterpoint line which is constructed on the inner line.😊

Great tutorial.......Thanks a million. Still, if you don't mind a small advise. As you explain the movement to and fro of 3 to 7, from a DEDACTICAL perspective you'd be advised to 'kind-of' LEAVE THE FIFTH ASIDE. This will accentuate the pulling power of 3 and 7 way much stronger...................... No Offence Intended!!

Agree. Also note that she starts out by saying that the guide tones of a chord are 3-5-7. Guide tones actually refer only to the 3rd and 7th.

@seannel7464 Жыл бұрын

Correct, although the 1 may be considered an optional guide gone as it is the root. The 5 serves very little functionality though and can be safely omitted.

@jaapkerkvliet2143 7 ай бұрын

@@1950francesca In generel, yes. But since there is no clear distinction between the 3th and 7th of a half diminished and a minor chord, one could consider the 5th as a guide tone.

Hi Romana, just a suggestion, I think you should change your channel name to something unique and easier to find. your channel name is hard to find on KZfaq. I tried several times to locate your channel but couldn't, I only got it when I searched for one of the topics you posted a video on for guide tones.
