I see you've moved house. The place looks very beautiful. The Studio is very good. I'm from Brazil and I bought your books a while ago. I liked them a lot. I put some of your arrangements in my repertoire. They are excellent. Congratulations and GOD bless you.

It's a green screen (like in the movies)...and I can change the environment anytime. Pretty cool, right? Thanks for the nice comment, Brazil!

I love your videos, Kent! Quick question: what’s the best way to think about all of these scales that you mentioned so that you can memorize them easily and associate them with the cords easily? At first glance, it seems overwhelming to try to employee all of these different scales/modes.

@KentHewittpiano88 8 ай бұрын

I don't think there's a quick easy method...I learned this over a period of many years practicing. My book will help and also my playlists that cover this subject in more detail. www.youtube.com/@KentHewittpiano88/playlists

@DrLumpy 5 ай бұрын

I'll offer an answer/suggestion, if I may... When you play a scale, just a few times, you quickly begin to associate that scale, especially smaller pieces of that scale, with familiar pieces of songs. Very soon it simply sounds like "I'm playing that part from 'A Train' " (or whatever song). It works the same way with chords or melodic phrases (riffs). "The Jimi Hendrix Chord" - "The Count Basie Ending" - "The Stairway/Taste of Honey Opening". All that quickly translates into something like "Whenever I'm on the ii chord, I can play 'The Just Friends Chord' instead, and play 'The Beethoven's 9th Arpeggio' over that." Once you play the scale/chord/ornament a few thousand times, you don't care if it's called a "Major" scale or an "Ultralocrilydian scale with a demolished 19th". Your unconscious brain does the association. And since you've practiced so many repetitions of the movements, that same brain knows and executes the fingering for you. You're free to focus on other things. You could narrate a video lesson, as our host does. You could order a pasta salad, check your FaceBook, or read the newspaper. All things I've seen other side men do while playing. I hope none of those concepts conflict with Mr Hewitt's pedagogy. I'm pretty confident they don't..🙂

Sadly I am early learning and a bit confused at your terms of Lydian Flat 7. So you state the D Lidian Flat 7 which I thought was a D Harmonic Minor and similarly the C Lidian Flat 7 which I thought was a G melodic minor. Am I missing something please?

@KentHewittpiano88 9 ай бұрын

Did I say it wrong? It's a G lydian b7 which is the same as a D Melodic Minor starting on G. (A D Harmonic Minor would have a Bb in the scale and you want a B natural) The important thing is to see that the 9, #11 , and b7 are in the scale. If the chord had a b9 or b13 it would use a different scale.
