Thanks for video! But what if nerd student asks you: Why can`t we use lydian for major 7 and eolian/phrygian for minor 7 chords? And what should I do with half deminished chords? I have a lot of them in Blue Bossa and Summertime.
You can use those modes, no problem. I just gave three examples in this video. Lydian and Ionian both go with Maj7 & family chords. In Blue Bossa and Summertime, I wouldn't think about modes at all, they aren;t modal tunes. Think of the key centres. Blue Bossa = Cmin, then Db maj, then C min again. Summertime=Dmin throughout, or maybe Dmin then F maj then D min. I'd suggest minor bebop scales any tune where you have a dominant 7 chord V resolving to Chord I minor. It will sound better overall. Use modes for modal tunes (where one chord lasts a long time) or as building blocks for playing chord changes.
Brilliant! Thanks for the very clear explanation
Love the vids!
Thank you!
