I like the way you explain everything. In other words the way you break it all down in a simple manner.

Randy, great lesson on Rhythm Changes! Actually teaches context and application, not just patterns to memorize and regurgitate. I will direct my students to this as well. You are empowering creativity to be realized at any level, man. Thanks. Cb

Hey there! Randy, you sound great. You hit all the salient beginning points in ten minutes, which is amazing. Your explanation of the basic form is spot on, you speak slowly and carefully and are easy to understand. I've been playing saxophone(flute, clarinet, bass, etc.) professionally for over 40 years; the first thing I'll do when the next student that asks me about rhythm changes is to point them at your video, tell them to watch it three times, think about it, then come to me with questions. I wish I had had you as a teacher wnen I had these questions, lo! the many years ago! GREAT WORK!

This is what I've been needing to understand this whole time! Thank you so much for elaborating in areas where other teachers did not. I hope I'm not "cheating" here, as a I am a trumpet player lol

I wish - really wish a jazz educator would have sit me down in college and methodically taken me through something like this. I basically guessed my way through changes and it could have been so much nicer this way. I was too focused on scalar soloing with chromatics thrown in - and never keyed a lot on the chord tones enough. Such a nice sound when mixed with other types of solo techniques. Thanks Randy!

The 6 chord is often played as a dominant chord also, since as a dominant it functions as V7 of ii. You'll find in Rhythm Changes that it is often played both ways. I personally prefer to perform it as a dominant chord, because it allows for more harmonic exploration.- Randy

Hi Chipoluigio, That was just a little 5654578 (G,A,G,F,G,B,C-transposed for tenor) conclusion in the key of the changes. This can be used as a conclusion for many tunes, not just Rhythm Changes. - Randy

Technically the "VI7" is a secondary dominant chord tonicizing the ii chord that follows it.

G7 tonicizes Cm. It acts less as a vi, and more as a V7/ii.

Thanks very informative. How can you use apeggios and chromaticism to create a bebop feel
@RandyHunter10 жыл бұрын
Arpeggios and chromaticism are part of the vocabulary. Bebop is a combination of vocabulary, articulation, and rhythm. You should combine vocabulary practice with technique practice along with listening, transcribing, and studying transcriptions to learn more about creating a bebop feel. This is how we learn more about the language of jazz.

Problem is 99% of the people playing or teaching jazz have no idea about going over rhythm changes. Most are just blagging their way through it.

Minor criticism. You're talking about the key of Bb which is true for C instruments. But you're playing a tenor sax, like me, so you're playing in C. A bit confusing. Other than that: very informative lesson!
@cldavis3310 жыл бұрын
Uhhhh, yeah, we play b-flat instruments bro, and when we play in our key of 'C', we talk about it in concert B-flat dude...so we can communicate with the rest of the instrumental and musical world - very few musicians other than trumpets, tenor sax and clarinets play in b-flat .
