I hear “Stairway to Heaven”!!?!🤷‍♂️😎🫵👍

OK I started this exercise and I needed to restart all over because there's one thing that I wasn't understanding. You are saying you don't have to memorize and that you can use the fretboard diagram and I've been actively using the diagram while doing the exercise and progressing very easily. But at some point I realised this cannot be useful. I'm reading, not learning. Then in the pdf you explicitly say that you need to do it without the diagram when playing. I'd recommend to note this since I've wasted time practicing without improving my skill!

Is there a technical difference between Modal Exchange and Modal Interchange or is this just a case of semantics?

There is a single artist I can think of that uses diminished chords in some sense as the key center. He is a requintista named Juan Neri. He is from a very famous mexican trio called Los Tres Ases. Often times he would end his songs on the tonic,but replace the tonic with the diminished (if the key is C,he would resolve to C diminished). He is somewhat obscure these days but his discography is a gold mine of jazz inspiration. He is kinda responsible for bringing jazz into mexican music. As a musician I highly urge you to listen to his discography for yourself to hear the ideas I'm talking about. Truly world changing despite coming from the 1950s. Juan Fidel Neri Mancilla.

How to find the key by ear?

You have dots on your fretboard, use them! There's 1 or 2 semi-tone of difference max, so it's really easy to just count down/up 1 fret For practicing stay in the 4 fret zone you have every notes you need, randomly choosing the zone on the fretboard and try to play C major scale Way less grindy and as effective imo

The standard whey is the most god-awful but most prevalent way people are taught modes it's so awful it it really does a disservice to students who are trying to learn modes.

See i screwed myself over when i was an intermediate player, i focused wayyyy to hard on soloing and not enough on building chords, because after i caught up on my rhythm i realized my solos improved 10 fold... Now I'm out here writing prog rock or something, not sure what you'd call it, vut anyhow lol

BLACKBIRD BY THE BEATLES !!!

4:46 During REM's Unplugged session on MTV, he had a lyric sheet for a song (maybe "It's The End Of The World ..."), and he said they had to get the lyrics "off of a computer" (early Internet?), and he wasn't sure they were right.

Hi Tommaso. Thanks for the video. But why not reuse what we already know : the notes on strings 6 and 5, and some basic shapes for minor and major triad (that bass players can find with their eyes closed). A major ? Find the root on the 6th string : 5th fret. From the root, the major third is up a string and down a fret : 5th string 4th fret, and we know that's a C#. From the root, the fifth is up a string and up two frets : 5th string, 7th fret, and we know that's an E. A minor ? Find the root on the 6th string : 5th fret. From the root, the minor third is in the same string and up three frets : 6th string 8th fret, and we know that's a C. From the root, the fifth is up a string and up two frets : 5th string, 7th fret, and we know that's an E. Those of us who can visualize (two strings of) the fretboard can just "see" the notes in a triad.

i read somewhere a slightly different explanation: a word dominant refers to a sound of tritone interval which dominates over any other sounds you can create in any scale, introduces a harmonic tension and whenever applied, enforces a harmonic function which is very well known from a diatonic chord on a specific position in known scales.

This is also like timing when it comes to live playing. We're so used to playing to a robot now that we don't speed and slow parts by feeling anymore.

Hi tomaso..m a great fan of urs..thanks for all the fantastic lessons till today..can u pliz make a video on how to use extended chords perfectly..

My middle finger is only three and a half inches long, and my pinky is about two and three quarters inches.

So let’s say I’m playing the c note, to learn where notes are on my fretboard, on each of the strings from bottom to top and I use a picture of a scale chart to help me. It wouldn’t be considered memorization if I just repeatedly play those notes even without looking at the scale with the labeled notes?

I don't think you can teach soul.

It's not jazz that's bad, it's jazz snobs. There tends to be an ugly elitism among them and they can't accept a difference of opinion. Even metalheads can admit their music isn't for everyone but jazz heads tend to act as if someone not liking jazz means that there's something wrong with them. As for the music itself, it's great!

sounds so good

Sounds great

❤❤❤

When improving in improvisation, what do you recommend to prioritize: modes or arpeggios?

Aww man, when you said scary I was hoping for the sound, not people playing it. I've been wanting my music to sound creepy and unsettling. So far I've really been digging the Hungarian minor scale.

lmao this duuuuuuuuude

Exercise 5 : Which string should we play ? Thank you.

great video! the key to enjoying a genre is just to understand what it aims to deliver, and then earnestly listen out for it. i liked when you called it a musical diet, you dont *need* to have a balanced diet to enjoy food but if you want to be healthy (not a music snob) its best to cover all the bases. i would definitely put timbre up along with M/H/R, but maybe im biased as an electronic music fan 😛 you could probably use more conceptual metrics like message for hip hop or performance for rock/jazz since i hear these kinds of complaints ALLLL the time: "whats this song about?", and "theyre not even playing their instruments!"

Billiant. So simple, yet, immeasurable creativity!! Thank you, kindly and God bless you!!

One 3rd and 5th note C E G सा गा पा

So you want us to fit all 6 exercises into 5 minutes? Or do we move on to the next exercise after we can do the first, and each individually take 5 minutes?

as a drummer, I loved this!, I struggle so much with guitar player who don't care about rhythm, this is such a simple, yet powerful concept for guitarists and musicians in general.

I am starting to teach myself guitar, I am excited I found this video. Thank you.

Seems the exact voicings really matter for that chord, i was messing around on piano and getting mostly out there results

Best breakdown here - particularly why d stays in the bass here (first inversion)

What are the finger positions played on the high e string?

No fourths? 😎

I just remember them as physical patterns on the fretboard. You only need to remember the root notes and the pattern.

I'm afraid I do no circles. I visualize intervals, sometimes on the keyboard, and more often on the fretboard. All the algebra and calculus are laid out there in plain sight, so why bother!

I love this. The "Grind" mentality always puts me off. "No pain no gain" nonsense = frustration and quiting for most people. I saw it with working out. Small steps..every day. And not even everyday! Breaks are necessary. It's the consistency and time passing that makes us move.

what language is this ?

Bro by watching RUclips videos around this subject now i know 99.9 percent of teachers and you tube musicians have no idea what is harmonizing im talking about pianists, theorists etc, they just have that thing we call it wasting people's time and making money of it. thanx Man at least i have found that 0.1 percent who knows what he's talking about ✌🏻

Easiest for me is find the fifth, then find the relative minor of the fifth. C->G fifth G->E relative minor of G Also helpful for me is relating the circle of fifths (or fourths) to the tuning of a 7-string bass. Sounds crazy, but it works for me.

I'm an old school (before internet) self-taught bassist who learned by fretboard patterns. Okay, I knew about the circle of fifths from library books back in the day, but my experience has shown me many ways people learn this. Outstanding channel! Keep up the great work.

I like to use a shortcut of the circle of thirds : "Every - Good - Bastard - Deserves - Funeral - And - Chime ". You may start anywhere to line up and you may add more "words" in the row to find more than the triad (stacking thirds "7" ;"9", "11" and "13"). Example for C maj you have "Chime " "Every" "Good" (C E G) and for Cmaj7 you have to add a "Bastard"

Hi Tommaso, just a small slip. At 7:41 the spelling for Eb major is Eb G Bb. The triad Eb G B would be Eb+ (i.e. augmented).

thank you for this video, im a lfety and i love it i just switch everything mentally it was tought at first and now its getting easier and easier. you can do this, just give yourself space to learn and grow

the way you teach it is already perfect, people LOVE to complicate things lol

If you know the scale/mode (and you need to know these anyway), you can just stack the third intervals and get all of the triad chords (just skip a note in the scale). Quartal harmony can work the same way, just stack fourth intervals (skip two notes).

Gwen's way was closest to how I learned all the triads when I started. I was self taught and didn't even know what a Circle of Fifth's was until watching music theory videos on RUclips 20 years later. But I knew the chords in the C major scale so used that.
