I love the explanation you have given for your process here, I have always liked playing diminished dominant as an option dropping a half step each time you move onto the next chord and tritone sub options, you have opened my thinking to new options. Thanks !

With the various substitution methods, can you also subdivide the bridge and flip between them? E.g. the first four bars do the major thinking tritone subs, then fall back to the ii-V-I7 for the second four, or other combinations; or are there some that simply don't work if you would do this?

Hi Dave, great upload! How come for the first half of the major eternal triangle bridge you’re playing the relative major instead of the tonic major? You basically played in Lydian for the first half then went back?
@DavePollack2 жыл бұрын
Are you asking why I played Dmaj7 and Dbmaj7 instead of Bm7 and Bbm7? Thinking the relative major 7 over a minor chord is what I do all the time - it’s basically playing the 3579 of the minor chord, but get you away from playing the written root of the minor chord (and makes things easier because you’re converting things back to major)
@luke.mcshane2 жыл бұрын
@@DavePollack a B-7 E7 ii-V for instance wants to resolve to Amaj as it’s in that Moses of that key. So why not think of the chord as Amaj instead? A Gmaj would give you a sharp 4 in there if you were to extend the chord or play a scale run.

There are different processes for that - I would look at my masterclass on melodic soloing to work on voice leading through changes. That will help you much more than superimposing and chopping up the written chords, like in this video

Dave, I don't get it, playing the bridge it's the easiest part! Those chords are pretty easy and long. The hard part to me is going through the rithm changes cause they go real fast...
@DavePollack2 жыл бұрын
The more complex/fast chords are, the simpler you need to play to make a "good" solo. For the A sections, you can just follow the written chords and do nothing else and still make a solo that sound awesome and has motion. When the chords move slowly (the bridge) if you only play those chords/chord tones, it will sound pretty stagnant and boring, hence why I focused on the bridge for this specific video. When I hear people solo, the bridge is where it usually sounds the worst.

@@jazzman_10 Also the A section is totally diatonic (in a basic rhythm changes) except for the third of the VI chord, so you can totally just play Bb pentatonic, or Bb blues, or Bb major, over the whole thing and ignore the changes if you want. I usually ignore the changes and play melodically over the A section, but try to hit the major 3rd of the VI chord to stay inside the harmony.

@@blow-by-blow-trumpet Thank you so much. I've tried to play The Flintstones tune and realized that C blues scale fits quite well but had no idea why. I will check with Bb ( I do not know if all rithm changes are the same, I guess you can play them in different keys). I knew there had to be a scale that would fit in those chords, they go by so fast it's not possible to follow them, at least not for me...
