From: dolphinstreet http://www.learnLicks.com/watch.cfm?v=542 http://www.learnLicks.com/watch.cfm?v=541 Some basics,but not so basic!!!! From: jltei http://www.learnLicks.com/watch.cfm?v=541 http://www.learnLicks.com/watch.cfm?v=540 Since the 5th degree mode has got a Maj 3 and a minor 7,it is an hybrid shape between Maj and minor.The chord is called "dominant"because it originally came at the end of a cycle to conclude it.All symphonies end like that,the 5 falling heavily on the 1.Everybody is happy,the tension is solved!!This is the STRONGEST movement we have in occidental music,the one that really moves us everytime it happens.Believe me,we will use it a lot to capture attention from our audience and not be boring!! From: jltei http://www.learnLicks.com/watch.cfm?v=540 http://www.learnLicks.com/watch.cfm?v=539 A few ideas on how to create chord movements and solos,mainly for now at this stage by what I call"sliding"or"surfing"in the harmonization! From: jltei http://www.learnLicks.com/watch.cfm?v=539 http://www.learnLicks.com/watch.cfm?v=538 You can believe me,I am not kidding!!I saw so many people,(including me a few years ago !),saying"Oh,yes,modes,I,know!!"but in fact missing completely the essence:how to organize them to reach an higher step called "combination of the arpeggios of the modes".A higher one goes through substitutions and at the end cadences.You add a bit of symetric harmony and after that,there is nothing,you reached the end of tonal expression!!!This is why Joe Pass could play like that,and you still follow him on a standard.This is the highest achievement to me:he takes us to the stars,playing always out and we feel he is in on a well known tune!!!But Miles era encouraged people to close their eyes to find the good notes.Wrong way!!We are not Miles yet,we need FIRST to reach his musical understanding,then we can CHOOSE our aesthetic!Always prefered to be a sincere modest one than a bad copying monkey!! From: jltei http://www.learnLicks.com/watch.cfm?v=538 http://www.learnLicks.com/watch.cfm?v=537 Same process continuing....You should be able now to analyse the composition of the seven modes and find their arpeggios to build their corresponding chord...And now1)you can describe any exotic mode using numbers AND 2)harmonize it to play meaningful music,not running up and down a mode without any direction!!! From: jltei http://www.learnLicks.com/watch.cfm?v=537 http://www.learnLicks.com/watch.cfm?v=536 Since the 2d degree mode is:1,2,3b,4,5,6,7b,we have13b5(m),13b57B(m7),13b56(m6),13b57b9(m9),13b57b911(m11)and 13b57b91113(m13).All kinds of inversions are possible of course.As usual we use arps to build chords or solos,they are our all risk insurance!! From: jltei http://www.learnLicks.com/watch.cfm?v=536 http://www.learnLicks.com/watch.cfm?v=535 How to definitely know what means Major and what means minor!!Insight on how easy it is to understand altered chords structures once you have the" numbers system"(intervals)!A7+5?1,3,5#,7b!!A7-5?1,3,5b,7b!! And so on...The real difficulty is not theorical,it is to locate all this on the neck!!! From: jltei http://www.learnLicks.com/watch.cfm?v=535 http://www.learnLicks.com/watch.cfm?v=534 Second mode.We have to put numbers on its own degrees now to keep on using the construction system of arps.But without forgetting it is still included in the first mode...Double-view is required now to see how 1 and 2d degrees intermingle!! From: jltei http://www.learnLicks.com/watch.cfm?v=534 http://www.learnLicks.com/watch.cfm?v=533 Continuation... From: jltei http://www.learnLicks.com/watch.cfm?v=533 http://www.learnLicks.com/watch.cfm?v=532 Continuation... From: jltei http://www.learnLicks.com/watch.cfm?v=532 http://www.learnLicks.com/watch.cfm?v=531 From the mode 1(stdd Maj scale)we derive 6 other modes.Using notes of these modes,we will build the corresponding chord of each one of them.Everything is strongly related and may be confusing until you completely understand the process as a whole,because things are so interdependant.Remember,there is no chance here,you build the walls of a strong house,keep your feeling for the day you will have to choose the color of the curtains,then it will be time to express your own way of combining harmonies!!
