Thank you so much Kairifan, a ton of work goes into editing so that really means a lot. I'm so pleased these lessons help you.

I appreciate that Keshav. Thank you for your kind words. If you have any musician friends who would also enjoy these videos, I'd really appreciate you sharing it. I can't wait to post my next tutorial. Do you have any future requests?

P.S. The hardest part is coming up with clear titles that get the attention of jazz fans, opposed to general piano / music students.

@@jazztutorial I absolutely will share it. One thing I want to learn a lot is improvisation. What stuff are used, what should be considered when improvising over a chord progression. If I have the idea of what I can use and it what manner that would be really helpful.

@@jazztutorial yes that is true, jazz isn't very popular, but I'm really intrigued by it's complicated sounds and the smooth flow of improvised melodies

@@keshavleitan7800 Got it, more on improv. I can do that. Until now most of my material has been explaining music theorym but going forward I plan to talk more about composition (including improvised composition).

Thank you so much Mike! I really appreciate you doing that. I'm glad you liked this one.

Thank you so much Tai. I'm so glad you liked this one. Did you see my previous 3-part series on writing Chord Progressions? This lesson was basically the bonus 'part 4' from that.

Thank you Andy! I appreciate your kind words.

Thank you so much John! I'm really pleased you liked this one

Thank you Elsonn! I'm so pleased you liked the bass lines commentary. Do you have any requests for my upcoming videos?

Thank you Aldrick!

Thank you so much Theo. Do you have any requests for my upcoming videos?

@@jazztutorial hi Julian, using a small motif (or several motifs) as a building block on creating a solo would be great! Anyhow, thank you for all your efforts in making these videos👍

Thank you so much ScarTee. It's nice to be back :)

Thank you so much Motta. It's my pleasrue, I'm really pleased you liked this one / this series.

Well spotted. I like to pepper in subtle musical quotes. That song's riff is a good demonstration of the pentatonic scale.

Thank you Davit!

That's great Bbacher, definitely - the jazz theory can be applied to any instrument.

See Julian's video for tritone substitution, then you'll get a good understanding for that. Db7 is the the tritone sub for G7 (V7).

@@osti1711 >headslap< Of course! Thanks.

Hi Matt, I choose voicings based on what the melody note is. I like to play a chord voicing that already has the melody note as its top note. So if there's a C major 7 chord, and the melody note is D (the 9th) - I'll choose a voicing that already has the 9th as its top note (like a rootless voicing, C / E G B D). Or if there's a C major 7 chord, and the melody note is G (the 5th) - I'll choose a voicing that already has the 5th as its top note (like C / B D E G for example). And so on. That way you know you're playing a chord voicing which sounds great as it is. There's no doubled notes, no clashes with the melody or anything. As I play through as jazz standard, that's how I voice it. Look at the chord symbol, look at the melody note, choose a voicing. I call this technique 'melody matching'. I cover it fully in my free 'Chord Voicing Guide' which you can download here: jazztutorial.com/sheet-music

It’s the 13th of the chord making it a Gb13 chord. It doesn’t have a specific function, it just adds color

@@dylandiaz9243 ohhhh right thanks. But then shouldn't it be displayed as Gb13? I'm sorry I'm asking so many questions I'm pretty new to jazz.

@@dylandiaz9243 and also when he played the "Gb7" chord he omitted the fifth degree of the chord right? Was it because it didn't have a big impact on the sound of the chord or because he couldn't fit all the notes in?

@@keshavleitan7800 technically yes, but that would just be for specificity. In jazz you’ll often see a lead sheet label a chord as a G7 for example but you’ll actually hear a player use a G9 or a G13 unless specified otherwise with a b9 or #5 etc., allowing the player to use essentially any note of the diatonic scale as a way to add color, but it ultimately still functions the same 👍🏻

@@dylandiaz9243 ohhhh ok. Thanks a lot.😁👍

works OK for me

@@grahamsmith9788 Just tried it again and it still not working... I add my first name, email address.. click Send Now.. nothing happens. Looking at F12 debugger - there is never a POST being sent along... something is broken.. tried in Firefox and Chrome. Anyone else verify it is broken?

@@pesto12601 sorry, can't really help you, I just posted my reply that it was working for me, in case Julian might think that it was 100% at his end. It clearly isn't, but I appreciate that doesn't entirely help you!

@@grahamsmith9788 No worries.. just strange because I checked 2 browsers and there is no POST data being sent to the server for the form. Oh well.... thx for the update!
