In this 6 lesson course, we’ll explore Tonal Harmony & Related Dominants with a unique approach to improvising over the Dominant – Tonic relationship.
There are two different kinds of chromatic 25s, descending 25s, and ascending 25s. In this course, we are going to focus on the descending 25.
In this lesson, we will explore the diminished chord, and how it connects 4 different dominant 7th chords through the minor 3rd relationship.
In this lesson, we’re going to explore an important tritone relationship to help you quickly access altered dominant chord voicings in all keys.
We are going to explore tritone substitution and apply the chosen melody over tritone sub 25s in the song “There Will Never Be Another You”.
In this lesson, we explore the minor 25, and how to use our chosen melody over any minor 25 progressions and also the tune we are studying.
Before we start to use the chosen melody as a tool for improvising, you must play through all 12 keys with simple voicings in your left hand.
We start by talking about a specific way to view and hear harmony. We simplify a few harmonic concepts that you might have found complicated.
We explore inner voice movement over major, minor, and dominant chords, and then we will apply this information to a well-known jazz standard.
These lessons will prepare you for playing in a jazz band so that you know what to expect, and what is expected of you. Learn to comp and take a solo!
