Hi M. Blades, I’m from Montreal. I knew there a way to make music easy to understand. You just gave me the answer to my question. I’m also a teacher myself and know well that there are more than one way to explain what ever the subject. I thank you very much Sir.

I can’t believe how lucky I am to find your channel just at the time when I started to look more closely at chords. Your method of teaching is excellent allowing me to be able to play music while learning. I understand that the theory is important but for me it is easier to play first and use that to understand the theory.
@lyndenblades5 ай бұрын
Hi John, that’s so kind of you to say, thank you very much 🤩 I agree with you, the theory is really important and it’s so much easier to get when you can apply it to something that you can actually play. Otherwise it can all seem a bit abstract. Thanks again and please let me know if there’s content that you’d like to see 🤝🤝😎😎🎷🎷

Thank you Lynden. Your instructions are very structured, very straight to the point and most importantly, very easy to understand. Your tone is absolutely beautiful, do you happened to have a tutorial on how to develop a tone like yours?

George thank you, that’s really kind of you to say on all counts! Personally I spent many years practicing in an apartment in London and I had to play incredibly quietly because the neighbours would complain otherwise and I’ve always wondered if that had a beneficial effect.

Yes that's it. Simplicity. I play like this on sax. On piano, I use substitutions, fast tempo, altered scales, chromatims because my jazz skills are lots higther. But people listening to my solos prefers the sax ones 😂. Ben Webster is My Master since I do sax, and it begins to change my way of improvising on piano. Good thing. Thx for the video

On Bars 9-12 it’s a major 2-5-1. What I don’t understand being new to this how you play a minor scale over it. Great video!

Thank you 🤩 The minor scale works because the first chord of the 251 is a Dorian minor. Does that make sense?

@@lyndenblades So the first chord in a 251 is like a key centre. Would that be right?

@@GordonCrowe100 the last chord, the major (1) is really the key centre because the 2 and the 5 are derivatives of it, modes of the 1. They all share the same notes. Does this make sense?

@annaperera41665 ай бұрын
I understand the theory - what the 251 represents with respect to a scale. What I can’t get is how the -7 or 7 or any of the other “clues” tell you that’s what the progression is. Can you explain how these “clues” tell you this? Why for example does it not suggest a IV-V-I progression? I understand that the notes wouldn’t tie in with that progression but not sure how you get to first base-if that makes sense.
