Chord Scale Relationships: What's the Best Scale to Play With Each Chord?
Vložit
- čas přidán 9. 05. 2024
- What's the best scale to use with each chord, and how do chords and scales correlate to each other? It's actually easier than you think! In this tutorial, we talk about the fundamentals- this is basically a chord-scale correlation dictionary that you can refer back to in the future if you ever run into a tricky spot. As you add extensions to your voicings, you can adjust the scale you use- we'll talk about why.

Thank you, Juan! I hope it's alright, I just went ahead and pinned your comment because I think it's so helpful for others!
Wow. Thanks.
Wow.. God bless you, you have impacted, please how do I get in touch with you. I am a saxophonist. I need to understand the scale and chord relationship and how to easily apply them, without having to think about it.
Doing the lord's work 🙏🙏
Thanks a bunch, bro. I will work on all you said
this channel is so important like .. you are appreciated
Thanks so much 🙏
Agree..
Man i love those lessons. Straight on point without unnecessary talking. Thanks for doing this man! I am a drummer by the way, this is how good your channel is.
Thanks appreciate the comment! Always great to hear that you're finding the videos helpful.
Concur - a hundred percent.
Noah and Open Studio are the two best jazz resources I've found
9:19 another way for me to remember the altered scale is that it's simply the major scale with all notes flattened except the tonic.
=> C Db Eb Fb Gb Ab Bb C
and I guess that's probably why it's called the "altered" scale
That's really helpful. Thank you!
This is absolutely brilliant video. Thank you so much Noel.
Thank god for this! Been looking for this for about 20 years.
A VERY IMPORTANT lesson! Thank you soo much!
Just came across your channel and I really love your lessons. I studied Jazz piano in college with a classical background, and this is the one thing I had the most trouble with. I’m really trying to get these concepts down now, and your videos are such a big help! Immediately subscribed :)
Noah hits it out of the park again. Such clarity on such an already complex topic.
This video is one of the best i've ever seen ,my other favorite one is the melodic minor modes video you've made ,it's wonderful !
Immediately subscribed. Great content, extremely useful for a jazz student like me trying to understand harmony. I dig the presentation, and the clean presentation too; this is exactly what I was looking for. Thanks Noah!
Thank you! This makes it much clearer!
This blew my mind. I didn’t realize there were variations on the scales and modes that correspond with the chord types. Thanks so much for making this!
Thank you so much for sharing…. love it, Bravo 👏🏻
Excellent work my man.
This is a GAMECHANGER. THANK YOU!
Thank you. Very good explanation! I start to understand the concept of scales on chords…

Always enjoyed improvising, but I never really did it mindfully, so sometimes it'd sound great other times not so much. The videos on this channel have definitely helped a huge amount with sharpening my awareness/skills, and giving me lots of new music vocabulary to work with.

Another Incredible Video! Noah your deep knowledge of the jazz language and your ability to express these concepts in such and clear, engaging and musical way is very special.
I came here for the masterclass on chord and scale relationships, but I stayed for the masterclass on sweater and shirt relationships!
J/K, awesome video!!
Hahaha not sure if this is one of my better or worse examples of that??

Can't begin to describe how useful this is going to be for me. Thank you for posting this, I'll be back every 5mins to double check what I can use over what!!
Hahah sounds great Alex glad it helps!!
Thanks for another great video!
You're welcome, Jonas!
Thank You so much!🔥🔥🔥🔥
You're welcome!
Also for the minMaj7 chord you can use harmonic minor if you're really looking for some dark tones, not really a jazz thing, but for other styles it's great
I’m currently in a harmony class in berklee and we’re starting to get into this stuff, this video is great!!
Hey Adam, so glad to hear it's helpful!
Hey, Adam, how's it going? Class of '86 here... Man, do I feel old, just saying that! At least, music is eternally fresh and young!
This is exactly the sort of thing that I've been looking for, well, except I don't really do jazz haha, but surprisingly a lot of this translates pretty well
i appreciated this video a lot. great job.
Thanks glad you enjoyed it!
@@NoahKellman definitely my man. subbed. i'm here for the long haul. here's to massive 2022 success for you brother.

Thanks man
Great one, thank you Noah!
You're welcome! Thanks for the comment.
Incredible video
Thanks appreciate it :)
This is a great video. Do you have any on how to practice these scales effectively? This is a lot of information, and it's almost too much to take in as a jazz novice.
Another great video, thank you very much!
You’re welcome!
Hey Mr. Noah, great video, thanks. I just subscribed and I was wondering if you might have another video or a PDF on Fingerings for these scales? Would you have a lesson on this? Thanks again.
Great video Noah. Thank you very much.
You're welcome, Víctor! Thanks for the comment.
Thank you 🙏🏽🙏🏽
Great info thank you so much!
You’re welcome, Brant!
This my friends , is value , REAL VALUE
Great intro lesson. 💯
Thanks, Casto 🙏
Ni Noah! I just found your channel and it's really helpful. Thank you so much!
Is this the common approach for jazz musicians in choosing harmony when playing? Doing it per chord change. It seems like the result is that the scale/harmony of the song will change in every chord, in a kind of random, non deliberate, way. Is this in part what creates the complex feelings of jazz music?
Another way of composing music would be to make deliberate scale/harmony changes with the circle of fifths in mind, adding or removing tension (going up/down the circle) in smaller or larger jumps to create a sense of movement. I thought this was the way jazz musicians were selecting their harmonies as well. But the method in this lesson seems more chaotic. The harmonic shifts this creates in the circle of fifths are not thought out and thus feel a bit random. And... it really sounds so cool. Maybe I should stop thinking in circles.
I'm struggling to make this thought/question clear. Sorry about that.
The intro is always so cool!
Thanks, Axel!
@@NoahKellman Thank you for your videos, teacher! :-)
Thanks!
Great study and tip video.
Thanks, Jason. Glad you enjoyed it!
You are also being watched from Turkey, Noah, and I am grateful to you.❤👏👍🙏
Thank you for saying that 🙏 greetings from overseas!
You've done the Jazz lord's work
Thanks for the class Noah, the more I watch and study your material the more I realize jazz is all about knowing what goes with what. Jazz Is a complex world but not difficult one if you know how to "hack the piano" and doing everything very simple and effective. I will continue studying all of this!! and also with week 3-4, it starts to get complicated haha
You're welcome, Alejandro! Yeah man, you're absolutely right. The more you learn those connections, the easier and more clear everything becomes. Keep up the great work!
Thanks 😊
Super cool, Noah. I also find it helpful to think about the context of a chord. So the Lydian Dominant sound is cool as a 5 chord, but is essential if the dominant chord is a b2, b6, or b7, for example. One more scale I find helpful for diminished chords: the seventh mode of Harmonic minor. I had always been taught the whole/half diminished like you present here, but found the sound a little unsatisfying in certain contexts. I've been using the seventh mode of Harmonic Minor and it makes so much sense. So say C - C#o7 - Dm. On the C#o7 I'd use D Harmonic Minor starting on the C#. I know the possibilities are endless, but these two thoughts are actually pretty indispensable to me being able to get through jazz tunes. Love what you're putting out there.
This is awesome Noah! Do you have a video on chord substitutions? Specifically inserting Chords with extensions over basic Major/Minor 7th chords. I’m interested coming up with some pop inspired Jazz renditions of popular tunes
Peace and much respect Noah!!
Hey, thanks and right back at you!
Great vid
Hi, Noah, and thanks for the explanation of the scales, but I don't find any pdf scale exercises on your page. Would like to have them.
🤗🙏
Thanks ❤️
Amazing stuff
Glad you enjoyed it!
