Resume from where you last watched (
Yes No
Jazz Advanced, Block Chords,
We're gonna show you a really
band arranger kind of thing
It's really useful when
when doing a chord melody arrangement.
For instance if we have
versus A minor 6th this kind of sound, and
we have this melody A, and A, C, and E.
We can just do the inversions
if we have an F sharp too, if we have.
[MUSIC]
So A, E, C and F sharp.
[SOUND] A root on top.
Then we have third on top,
C, F sharp, E and A,
E, A, F sharp and C.
And F sharp C, A and E.
[MUSIC]
up all the way up if you wanna go here.
[MUSIC]
But what if we have these notes.
[MUSIC]
A, B, and C.
What do we do for the A?
Should we do another version,
[SOUND] The 9th.
On top, instead of root [SOUND] Well,
it doesn't sound very very interesting.
What we can do is add a dominant to,
we're thinking that this,
That A minor with the chord tones A, and
Then we can approach A minor
[SOUND]
[SOUND]
[SOUND] This is more a more kind of you
[SOUND]
So from A, you go up to B.
And this voice from, from,
And this one, C going up to D.
And this one,
So what we're doing here is doing kind of
We got the E, other root.
We don't have to play it root.
And major 3rd, 7th, flat 9 and 5th.
[MUSIC]
way works fine too approaching A.
[MUSIC]
[MUSIC]
Just add the D?
We could, but we could also make
do another inversion of E7.
So up here, D, G sharp, F, and B.
[MUSIC]
[SOUND]
And this is a typical solution when
Using these approach dominant approaches.
You can also do chromatic
[MUSIC]
The same chord voicing.
Static chord voicing moving around but
[MUSIC]
E, A, F sharp, C.
[MUSIC]
All right.
since it's the 6th we can use the,
the original inversion.
[MUSIC]
Jazz Advanced,
Do another if we,
That's a melody note.
Could use another version,
G sharp on top.
D.
B and E.
And I mean F, the flat 9.
[SOUND] You could also do it with
you know, instead [SOUND] of a flat 9,
[SOUND] the natural 9 [SOUND] but
It's, it's good to know both.
[MUSIC]
then it will be basically just
[SOUND] As you can see E7 and B minor 9.
[SOUND] Similar shapes.
[MUSIC]
It's good to know both, but here.
G sharp, D, B, and F and.
[SOUND] So now we can actually play around
with the scale.
[MUSIC]
it's an A melodic minor scale.
[MUSIC]
we are using these E7
flat 9.
Voicings in between
gives this a kind of a harmonic minor
sound.
[SOUND]
follow the harmonic minor scale and
do F [SOUND] B [SOUND] G sharp [SOUND] and
[MUSIC]
[MUSIC]
[MUSIC]
[MUSIC]
[LAUGH] Follow the.
[MUSIC]
[MUSIC]
So.
[MUSIC]
a little bit around this.
[MUSIC].
[MUSIC]
Now we're
doing F7,
that can
turn around
E7 flat
9, and,
and A.
You could also start doing chromatic
approaches using
using the same structure and
move it a little bit around back and
That will give you even more
[MUSIC]
try it out and you can try this in
You can try it out with a major scale.
[MUSIC]
see what,
Or if you prefer to do it with
So practice this and
Over on the melodic minor scale,
Or you just, do as I did it here
And you will be able to make kind
a chord solo on this bar.
And you can also try it,
I mean this, this one right here.
Looks like that here, so,
upper, upper voicings.
But here
you can continue this same,
same way doing the, the,
Just the same notes,
Cool, thank you.
[MUSIC]
