@@JeffAntoniukEducator You are welcome. I have been thinking about your idea for a guide book. I am not sure whether it is useful but I noted down what I did with the video this week. Firstly I watched all the way through then I watch back the middle bit about minor thirds. I find myself seeing jazz more and more like a natural language. I want to hear it. Speak it. I then looked for isotope in KZfaq. I had heard it before but did not quite get it. It sounded other at the time. Now I was listening out for a blues with a fascinating ending. I then got out the alto and started to play some minor shapes. I find it good to see the dots in the video but try not to ask for the PDF as I prefer to write out the basics in my own spidery hand. It seems to go deeper if I make brief dots and then try to remember a concept. I then made up my own pattern in three keys and played until it wasn't too embarrassing. Finally I fired up the backing track of isotope and had a go. I find remembering bebop and beyond tunes to be a sticking point but the sound ideas seem to get through now so I was trying not to rely on the chart. Isotope stopped being other and becomes available...though hardly mastered. Now I am interested to know where else I can apply this new piece of grammar. Most exciting...Hope that helps.

@@DoctorGZeds So cool Gavin! Love your approach!

Ron, so happy to have you with us here, and at www.JazzWire.net. You are doing GREAT work there. And I certainly love to hear about the amazing progress. Good for you!

Thanks Bruce!!

Jeremiah! Thanks for the note, and thanks for tuning in.

Thanks paul. I have the next 100 already planned out!!

Thanks for the kind words, Ken, and thanks for tuning in as much as you do. It's people like you that I do this for. And . . . if you find yourself in Brazil or on a Brazilian gig, take that Partido Alto video with you! :)

Marc, I am hoping to make it there in 2020. If you would, write us back at Jessica@ jazzwire.net, and give us your email address and location, and we'll make a note to plan something there.

Thanks for the very kind note, Harald. If you would, write us back at Jessica@ jazzwire.net, and give us your email address and location, and we'll make a note to plan an event near where you live in 2020. As for voice leading, it's exactly the same thing whether we are soloing with a single line, or comping. Some of the Digging Deeper Jazz videos talk about Voice Leading, and it will definitely be in the DDJ Guide Book later this year.

FOR SURE, an entire solo of diminished would be not so good!! Hey, thanks for tuning in, and for the very kind words.

You bet! I 100% guarantee they will be in the Digging Deeper Guide Book, later this year. :)

Agreed!

Love your question. You actually have two different and competing ideas going on, which you should practice totally separately. We work on that stuff day in and day out at www.JazzWire.net. Join us there if you can. All will be revealed!!

Thanks for watching, and yes, stay tuned for the Digging Deeper Guide Book. You know, the next video is going to be on "Ear Training" which is very much what you are talking about. Don't miss it!

@Saxo Fonista Pat Martino uses the same (or similar) concept. Take any diminished 7th chord, lower any of its notes by a 1/2 step and that gives you a dominant 7th. The lowered note becomes the root. Therefore each dim7th can realate to 4 different dom7th chords... all interchangeable. 🎷🎸🎹🎶

@@GlennMichaelThompson A long time ago I read something like this on Shoenberg's harmony book. I guess it comes from there.

Yes, ALL the approaches folks are talking about here are different ways of taking about exactly the same thing. Since this sound/approach is symmetrical (minor 3rds create asymmetrical division of the octave), there are a lot of ways to look at it. My best advice is to pick ONE (yes, only ONE) approach, and use it ONLY for a good six months. IGNORE all other approaches. Then, once you have "your way" of looking at it, a strong understanding, all the other approaches will make much more good sense.

Going up works perfectly too. I actually snuck that in in my example solo on the video. See if you can hear it.

Every Digging Deeper video have a pdf that goes along with it. Write us at DiggingDeeperJazz@gmail.com, and we'll get it off to you.

Hi Ian. No, this is totally different than Coltrane Changes. His idea is based on THREE key areas, separated by Major 3rds. Here we are in ONE key area, but using chord separated by minor thirds. This is something we'll be getting into soon at www.JazzWire.net. I hope we'll see you there!

No, I don't think that is it . . . Joe never played a weak note in his like that I've heard!

Thanks for tuning in to these FREE videos. I"m really happy you enjoy them. To be honest, I haven't found a way to buy food or pay my rent by producing free videos!! 😂😂 The way I earn a living is by people paying for quality lessons and masterclasses, workshops and camps. Hence the ads. If you enjoy this material, consider supporting us in a tangible way. You mentioned that you are looking for actionable theory - let me suggest that KZfaq videos may not be the most powerful way to go. It's a one way communication, which by definition is NOT communication at all. If you haven't already, please jump in to a Free 30 Day Limited access to JazzWire. I would love to work together with you in a more meaningful (and not too expensive) way. With the Free 30 Day Trial, you’ll see what we're doing behind the wall! You'll be inside in about 20 seconds, no credit card required. www.jazzwire.net/free-trial/. These videos are great, but they are a SHADOW compared to the real work and we can do together!
