LESSON SUMMARY
In this piano lesson, you are going to learn easiest approach to improvise a jazz piano solo over any jazz standard. When it comes to improvising a solo over jazz standard, it can be very confusing to understand which scales you can use to improvise over certain chords. Oftentimes there are multiple scales that you can use with one chord. Furthermore, many jazz standards like All The Things You Are have many chords. Therefore, you could hypothetically use hundreds of scales to improvise over one tune. If this sounds overwhelming to you, then I have good news for you! You can solo over most jazz standard using one or two “parent” scales. When you reframe jazz chords as expressions of one parent scale, soloing will become tremendously easier for you. In this piano lesson, you will learn:
- The Chord Progression for All The Things You Are
- The Dominant 7 Identifier
- Diatonic Chords for 4 Keys
- Jazz Chord Progression Analysis
- How to Connect Your Jazz Lines

Jonny, I've been playing for a long time and I know all the theory behind what you are teaching in this lesson and I can play it. But I can't read music. Do you have a course in reading music for someone like me?

to read its practice practice practice lol, learn what the different notes are then just practice playing them and saying the chord

Thanks Jonny! Why did you use the Dom 7 chords instead of just looking for the Maj 7 chords to tell you your key?

@ibdense 3 жыл бұрын

My two cents worth... There are two major seventh chords in a key, while there is only one dominant seventh chord. With two choices, which would be the one. With the dominant 7th chord it eliminates the guesswork. And it will most likely show up before the Maj7 chord.

But what about Giant Steps? Not to mention, what do you do when it's a Dixieland song and every chord is a Dom7?

Blues scales and pentatonic

@gabethebabe8187 4 жыл бұрын

Lol please don’t listen to rich here. The blues scale and pentatonic scales are definitely useful but there are many other scales you can us over dominant chords. Like diminished, mixolydian, whole tone, and bebop scales.

@danielnagy5721 10 ай бұрын

Jonny, I don't understand the magic here. The key signature is Bb, Eb, Ab,Db which clearly shows it is an Ab scale (and makes evident Eb7 is a dominant 7th role here). Then the natural sign releases all four of them, in Dm7 and G7 chords so it is clear again only looking at the signs it is a simple C scale (where of course G7 is the dominant seventh) . Why we need to find a dominant sevenths?? Why we don't simply look at the key signatures? It seems a reversed process to me.

Maybe I am a bird of little brain! but you lost me at 5 minutes in. How can there be time to work all that math out on the fly when trying to improvise? Would it not be easier to just do it by ear? I can't believe all that is going on in the jazz players head when finding a melodic line over all the key changes going on in your average standard jazz tune. Even Bill Evans said the hardest thing was finding a good melodic line not finding good substitute hamonies. If you're going to just play major scales how do you get to play anything better than a few arpeggios?
