- Musicians Institute and Guitar World bring you a new series of guitar lessons with some of the top guitar instructors around.
In this video, instructor Jeff Richmond gives a lesson on Soloing Through Changes: Chord Tones.
The song is "All The Things You Are"
P.S, that is the first guitar I have ever fallen in love with at first sight. Wow, what a beauty.
4:21 ... thats the beauty of music ... right there! I always told my students its not really what notes you're playing but HOW you're playing it.
That progression could be jazz, classical, Deep Purple turned it into rock, Gary Moore turns it into blues, hell Yngwie and Vinny Moore can even rip arpeggios all over it in their neo-classic style ... but it's still just the same progression. and thats why music is AMAZING ... its HOW you play the notes that separate the styles. great lesson!!!
Brilliant! Now we're getting down to the essence of what the phrase "making the changes" really means and how to do it. Thanks for posting!
Great Job. To the point and none of that first finger 3rd fret beginner stuff that plagues YT.
Jeff, just want to thank you very much for this great lesson. There is so much content in just a ten minute lesson, and you only talk about what you are doing (unlike a lot of other teachers on YT)
The melody, the 3rds and 7ths, the triads, eveything! Its exactly what I've been looking for..
Thanks for this lesson it has really helped me connect some dots
His name is actually Jeff Richman, and he is a great teacher and swell guy - check out his solo albums!
He is a great teacher. I studied with him at Dick Grove's school in 86-87. Valley Arts? Loved that place! Remember Jennifer Batten teaching there, and talking to her. I had Mike make me a guitar in 87. Loved that thing!
very nice ! i like the way you etch out the simplicity of the harmony by highlighting the moving voice within the chord ! it is a sensible way to try to demystifiy certain aspects of this style of music named jazz ! thanks for the great video from this great guitar teacher !
Terrific lesson!! Thanks, Jeff -- great instructor and player!!
one of the best lessons, good explanatory of whats going on, keep this guy, plus his rig sounds sweet!
Wonderful lesson, thank you, I'm working on it now.
You're a fine teacher!
@robineellar Of course. He played over major chords in this video.
very useful and a massive help. I seemed to be stuck for ideas but this has opened up so much more . Thanks :)
That progression sounds fantastic.
Yes it is - anybody know who built this guitar? *ALSO* - I'm mostly an acoustic player, just recently interested in guitars of this type... he isn't playing the traditional "dry, smokey" jazz tone the older guys went for. There are some effects going on, very interesting sounds. What are these tonal effects?
I really wanted to know how to playing with band together, which note first...
very usefull tip!!
Very helpful. Make that very, very helpful.👍
you make it look so effortless
everybody alway's says nice guitar! that means you ain't listening ?
Your here to listen and learn not look @ awe! He's showing some powerful
info on guidetones I think just blew by wow! I luv you guy's anyway.
What are the numbers of the chords in this progression? Ex: 16541 etc? And how do you know what chord is going by?
My bad he is playing it in a different key, but what I listed is the same progression transposed to another key. It flows real nice.
I like sax players - Stan Getz is very melodic..working on a Kenny Barron transcription of All the Things You Are (piano solo). i have a few solos of the same tune by Robert Conti and Rich Severson (guitar) and Campbell Ryga (sax)
Great lesson. Thanks
super tips, It helped me a lot in my knowledge, THANKS
one of the richest 10 minutes I've seen - thanks!
Beautiful tutorial. Direct, informative,invaluable. Thank You. It swings. Does everything.
Hmmm... learning other people's licks/solos ('ear training'), turning them around and using them in different contexts ('creativity')... to me it would be something like that, apart from just trying out things that wander around in my head (that would be more like 'spontaneous composing'). I'm just a beginner when it comes to Jazz/Swing, trying to find my way around these issues.
Great mini lesson! sign me up
great lesson Jeff!
If you where using major chords which 2 notes it best to start with..?
excelent !! tremendous help in learning !
Doe anyone know a descent site to get backing tracks of the quality used in this video?
Is there a place we can buy the tabs if we don't have this issue of Guitar World?
thanks!
Very nice!
Great Video, thanks!
The first chord is Amin7, unless he is playing in a different key than its written in the real book. Try it like this: Amin7 - G13 - Dmaj9 - Cmaj7 -F#min7flat5 - B7#5 - Emin9.
very good very helpful
Hi Jeff, could you make available the backing track?
That is a BEAUtiful Guitar!!!!!!
Hi Jeff !!!big huges from Chile...!! did you all guys move back to MI..?what happened with LAMA..?? nice lesson anyway..!!!
Cool playing
@Mvision123 sorry i can't help with a website, but i would hazard a guess that he's using a computer programme called 'band in a box'. i have it and it is VERY useful and easy to use. (sorry if you already knew this).
Ui p 77LLN. BIPPRRO PLM. L ur
The guitar sounds really nice ...
Jeff ‘Richman’ Album - Trio Loco w Danny Gotltlieb & Jimmy Haslip. If you wanna hear fkn guitar playing omg
Thats a beautiful guitar
Isn't the first chord a Fm7, since it has a 3rd and 7th?
It's the first 8 bars of the tune "All The Things You Are". Should be able to find it in any fakebook.
that guitar sounds amazing
great lesson jeff.. what kind of guitar is that thanks
Sadowsky
Is it possible to download the background musik anywhere ??
profi teacher.. thank you!
very nice guitar!
that was quite helpful! thank a lot!
Wish you were at MI when I went.
It is. :0) Well the first 8 bars of it anyhow.
Great lesson ideas on 2nd, triads etc but you make it hard with no inlays for reference.
Great lesson! :D
inky960 what do you recommend as useful forms of ear training? Thanks
+Benjamin V. there are apps
Beautiful number one
Does he play a deluxe Reverb?
love this
Love that band in a box...
can i use this over major chords? thanks
It's the progression for All The Things You Are.
All The Things You Are!
Just curious - what is it you see as condescending?
@diabeticmonkey its a jazz standard if im not mistaken.. fly me to the moon :)
awesomeness.
Never forget that the notes are secondary!
The primary thing is the rhythm of the notes!
pleximanic They are equally important, a great rhythm is meaningless if the note choice is horrible.
The Air Loom tell that to Eric Dolphy though
Ok, well if we are talking about melodic music, then of course melody is important. I would never say that rhythm is actually MORE important unless I was playing more percussive styles of music. To play consistently bad note choices is just as jarring as playing the right ones in bad time.
+The Air Loom Playing the wrong notes in time is still somewhat listenable, while playing the right notes out of time is downright unmusical.
Every instrument can play rhythm. Some can play harmony, some can play notes, some can't, but every instrument plays rhythm.
The point is not playing "on time", you can play behing or ahead, but with the rhythm sense on the first place. Latin, Samba or Free Jazz, every style has the "rhythm sense". In some of them is more encouraged to play laid back and in other styles it need a "metronome feel".
For me, "rhythm sense" comes in first place. But as we now, in music, everything comes in first place LOL.
Why not just mention the name of the tune?...All the Things You Are by Kern and Hammerstein. Still a great video of course.
no 7th on the triads???
yes that's that the one
that string gauge seems to be very fat! does anyone know the gauge?
there's no 7th in triads just root, 3rd, fifth. If you want to hit the 7th of the chords in the progression you can play upper triads. ie over cm7 instead of cm triad play eb maj triad (eb, G, Bb) where Bb is the min7 of Cm7
all the things you are. he played over min7, maj7 and dom.7 chords.
That guitar..
I learned and taught this way for a few years but as you can tell it's not very musical even though the theory makes sense. Another way to go is learn melodic phrases from transcribing jazz solos.
Sounds like "All the things you are"?
Can anyone recommend a scale to solo over Bbmaj7 to Ebm?
Bb major on the Bb of course, and Bb Aeolian or phrygian on Eb Minor. Aeolian implies Eb Dorian and Phrygian implies Eb Aeolian
+LaxBro11796 Thank you, LaxBro. I was using Bb major, but was tripping up on changing to the minor Eb. I guess I need to work on being more deft on the changes.
That progression is a I iv progression. The Ebm, or iv chord, is borrowed from the key of Bb minor. Switching from Bb major to Bb natural minor makes a lot of sense, but it's even better to think in terms of chord tones and their resolutions. The note that sounds quite different in the Eb minor chord is the Gb note. This note is what creates that level of tension when switching between Bbmaj7 and Ebm, since the G is natural for the Bbmaj7. You can target this Gb note over the Ebm and resolve it down a half step to F when the chord changes back to Bbmaj7. This highlights the chord change with smooth voice leading. There are infinite possibilities for how to place this idea in the beginning, middle, and end of a phrase.
Also keep in mind the notes that both chords share. You can play a Bb, F, or a C note over both chords. These notes make for a nice target or a place to base your ideas around.
Think melody and chord tones / color tones!
I agree. Faster the tempo, the harder it is to compose on the spot, unless you resort to whole notes - LOL. But the phrases one plays could be his own - you can make up a nice lick, can't you? Why not make up all or almost all of them? Listen to jazz, but have the artistic security to trust your own vision. J. Lage doesn't transcribe; Rosenwinkle doesn't; Tal Farlow didn't; Mick Goodrick never has, but this demands CREATIVITY - which scares the sh*t out of some, and besides...(see part 2)
@Cache069
nice, checking it out, thanks!
why do they use guitars without inlays while teaching ?!
Because in lessons like these they want you to focus on training your ear to the sounds of thirds and sevenths and so on, finding the notes by ear is the best way to do that. If they named frets and the guitar had inlays people would skip that essential part of the exercise.
The whole point is to veer away from fret numbers, and internalize each chord's tones...
that's the first 8 bars of All the things You Are
It sucks trying to learn guitar when the teacher has no fret dots indicating the 5th 7th, 9th and 12 frets,
Artful Dodger It's funny... I was just watching for the first time and couldn't stop drooling over his guitar. The fret board binding and lack of fret markers are part of what makes it so nice looking.
Danny Hood That's because you have much to learn before coming here. Agree the dots help but they're not necessary.
dinar a belch I have much to learn yeah. When i watch fingerng usually I can play it , I haven't played in a band long time. Although i enjoy playin jam nights .I've had guys turn their backs on me while playing thinking id screw up from not seeing what Key games" blues is easy to find (was key of A flat) laughin being friendly to me afterwards (normally I'd let it go be cool whatever except the look on his face.. Blues players all night tired of hearing the same shit warmed over fretboard gymnastics helped
I've been playing since 1987, and I get annoyed when I watch an instructional video that has a guitar with no fret markers.
Having said that, the Sadowsky 16 and 17 inch red guitars are, in my opinion, the nicest looking guitar ever made. And, the 16 inches have a unique sound that a love.
Playing music is all about training your ears, listen and find it on your instrument. The more you do that the faster you'll get at it till you hear things and know where they are on your instrument.
Great - except for the delay/echo.
Thats some freaking phat strings! o,0
welcome to jazz kid, enjoy ;)
(from part 1) besides, jazz schools couldn't fill 100s of 20K/semester seats if kids took this route. They wanna sound like Joe and Wes inside a semester. So, enter "transcribing" - it helps your ear, but there are FAR better ways of ear training. Transcribing won't hurt you, for sure. But it's SO time consuming, and I think there are better ways to use that time. When one steals all his licks, he's saying, My licks aren't as good as those, so I'll do variations of the other guy's stuff. Sad.
Your guitar is beautiful. Looks like a violin in the guitar form.
It's Jeff Richman, not Richmond.
all the things you are
all The things you are
why not tune the guitar before teaching?
That never happens. All great players imitate those before them and over time you develop own voice. Try playing giant steps at fast tempos without having practiced lines.
all the things you are?
haha its true he is using a penny at 1:57
najib razak where is the 1MDB money?
I thought he looks very familiar.😂😂😂😀
Bingung saya, kok ke Najib Razak... tapi setelah lihat lagi, memang mirip ya? :))
Or learn the stuff you need to know to play jazz, and boldly go play your own phrases, and work hard at that, and always at ear training, so that you grown as a spontaneous composer, and not as a human database of other people's licks. Though others' licks can produce aha! moments galore... : )
and he doesn't name the fret #'s either...frustrating as hell!
roger weafer learn the theory and use your ear.
