Just purchased. I love this approach and is in fact how I finally started to teach myself to make the changes after years of people telling me to play scales. Obviously, I love more advanced concepts too but as you point out if you can't make clear musical statements with the chord tones, none of the rest adds much to the music. Looking forward to working through the etudes!

@@markgriskey That's a beauty! Well done old chap.
Eb Chart for Tenderly
For major diatonic chords - every note of the scale is actually a chord tone.
The editing is a solid A+
I think A# would be more appropriate. lol
@@miker7808 A## its better
Yeah it's
My parents say it's average, I'm not asian or racist but I feel like it ;(
That "cringe" note at the start was pretty awesome, not going to lie.
It’s hip as heck
Now you're thinking in Jazz™
No
@@anuvette )
Yea I actually really liked it
Welcome back! Btw this editing is insane!
Ye can see how insane it is in his eyes
As a non-jazz intermediate guitar player I am finding these lessons extremely useful. Thank you!
This is knowledge EVERY musician needs to learn. Solid lesson Jeff, 15 minutes has provided foundation for a VAST amount of material to study and work on.
I mean, to call ourselves a self-taught in these days, one mustn't watch to much of CZcams, cause if so, you better say you are formed at the CZcams Academy. Learning from people like Rick Beato, Nahre Sol, David Bruce, and our great Jeff Schneider, just to name a very few, is on another level in terms of free, available and valuable education. It's in a stellar another level, imo.
Those are my teachers - also; Scott Devine, Eric Haugen (very melodic guitarist), Brett Papa, Adam Neely, Tim Pearce, and Paul Davids...
@@BillyMac812 Tack Brian Krock onto that list, especially if you're on a jazz/modern classical vibe.
@@machinate I will check him out, Thanks!
Agreed. I used to have to try and learn from slowing down my KISS records back in the day. Now you can just type the song into youtube and someone will teach how to play it for free. Kids today don’t know how good they got it
They are only teachers if you really are a student tho ..
Oh dear... The content AND the delivery of the content, from your voice prosody, transitions, annotations and EDITING are simply top notch. Keep up the awesome work!
Wow haven't watched your videos in a while and the editing is IMPRESSIVE. You have always given out prime content for free on CZcams, which I deeply admire, and this is a massive upgrade to an already awesome channel. Cheers Jeff!
Nice one man! Chord tone soloing is so overlooked as a way to internalise changes and make sure your playing is as coherent as possible; it gets rid of so much of the musical BS that we all are guilty of adding when we're just noodling.
Great vid. Can't wait for the next one.
Lines that rhyme - awesome concept, thank you!!!
Jeff, I really like and appreciate your writing on the score to explain what is going on and how the chords are working. That is great information to me.
Welcome back I've been reviewing a lot of your old videos. I find how you teach is better for me. I understand music much better. I still suck at playing but I understand it technically at least. Hopefully we'll see more of you in the future.
The level of production combined with the clarity and value of these lessons is amazing.
Jeff: this is really great from every perspective: musically, visually, educationally. I am planning to seek out much more of your content!
The most useful video you ever can find on the net whatever the instrument or the style you play
Great information for people just starting to improvise, and it’s nice that you take a deeper dive into your composition! Thank you!
We’ve missed you! Thanks a lot man!!
Dawg, I needed this video. Thanks for putting it out for free
Rhythm defines all great musicians !
Thanks Jeff !
this is video that approaches this concept weaving though multiple disciplines and connecting the reasons WHY to use chord tones. I love lateral thought patterns. brilliant
I am glad you released something new! I enjoy your take on music.
Finally after a long month!!!!! Thank you for great content!
I must say your explanations make it so much easier to make sense of improvisation.
This is amazingly helpful, thank you Jeff 🙏🏼
And great editing
Excellent Jeff! Glad to see you're doing well. Kind regards, Chris.
Excellent lesson, Sir Schneider! Thank you!
I have played flute for over 35 years and was never taught your approach. It was succinctly delivered, and will definitely help my playing by running patterns of 4ths and 5ths with the chord tones. Thanks once again Jeff.
Great content, but I'm also blown away by the amount of top quality editing here!
Great content and explanation, Jeff! I've been meaning to practice soloing with chord tones for a while now, but this made the thought a lot more concrete. Definitely going to apply this to a couple standards.
Thanks, man! I was listening to this while driving, really makes me wanna go home and practice!💪😀😀👍
This is just the kind of thing I'm practicing now after years of scales approach. Fun going back to basics. Good presentation here.
This video is one of the best I’ve ever seen. Thank you! You’re a genius!
Super helpful! Lophiile suggested your channel on a video he did for Native Instruments, and this is the first vid I saw. Very, very helpful!
This was incredibly helpful. I need to watch this a few times.
the production of your videos have become phenomenal over the years
Thanks for this lesson. The tips of making ("simple") chord tone solos not sound drab are invaluable.
What an amazing video! So helpful, thanks Jeff!
this is so well made! I appreciate this
I am a guitarist and since guitarist are somehow cursed with playing 3-note per strings scale and pentatonic, I have to admit that this is by far the best lesson on how to improvise. The rhythms arent too crazy in the given example and everything is very understable! Thanks Jeff!
Great advice. Thanks Jeff!
great stuf Jeff! THANK YOU SO MUCH!! KEEP ON TRUCKING!!!!
I found you tonight quite by accident and I'm glad I did. Thank you for a very interesting lesson. Always good to get a new angle after playing for so many years.
All the best from the Bay Area.

Awesome ! Loved the analysis. Beautiful explanation ! Now subbed ! Thank you !
This is excellent thanks very much really helpful
Thanks for the video Jeff, very insightful content
Dude I have been playing classical piano since I was 4 years and played well into my high school years but when I went to college, I wanted to switch it up and learn jazz. Scales were already a part of my repertoire, and even after applying complex scales like the lydian dominant, half-whole and super locrian scales, I never knew how to use them comfortably. Thank you so much for breaking it down and teaching the simplistic way to learn it. From here I can now build a foundation for which to apply my knowledge and create better solos. Thanks man! Keep it up! Liked and subscribed!
Dude this is perfect, thank you!
The coherence of this chord-tone improvisation reflects beautifully the coherence of your instruction, here.
Hey man! Just saw one of your videos from five years ago and this one. Just wanted to say you’ve improved a lot! Hope you’re having a merry Christmas.
This is awesome. Speaking some very clear language here! You're a great teacher
Yay you're back really high effort video dude nice job!
Sir, you're a genius! This is an extremely simple and easiest way to make a solo sound good. Thanks )
Outstanding approach! Great job. Peace.
Helpful concept and explanation. Thanks Jeff.
GREAT content/video/production. You came up in my suggested feed and I'm glad you did. Subscribed!
Great video! Totally helpful and excellent production. And you look smokin cool too!
So talented! More covers please!!!
good explanation, and really good use of motives to show people how to be creative. good video
Thank you, great video, very articulate and inspiring.
You are such a good teacher!
Such a great video! I learned a lot! Please do more of those analyzing videos :))
That's top-notch tuition right there - thanks for this!
Great stuff Jeff! Brilliant video.
So my main instrument is vibraphone, and I learned to improvise through the simple phrase "just play drums on the chord tones." This video put it in some ways that I hadn't really thought about before. I love chord and scalar based improv methods. Great video
Thank you Jeff!!!!
You are a good teacher. Stay safe.
Awesome analysis! And great editing 👍
Great job! These concepts took me 40 years to discover because no one laid it out this clearly. I spent a career in television and live performance with top stars and had to figure this out searching for answers. My breakthrough came with Sam Most's book. I actually did a gig with Sam in1980. I found his book in 2018. YOU are the best online!
Excellent content, Jeff! Love the way you combine music theory, analysis, and a practical etude to make the concepts clear! 🎷 #ForwardMotion
Jeff - This is excellent. I could have used this about twenty years ago(!). Thanks!
You’re a great teacher man!
This is my first video of your to have watched. Very interesting. Good concepts and well presented.
This is brilliant! I really wasn't going to buy any more practice material. I already have way more than I need but I now have to hit the buy button on Chord Tone Magic.
Thank you Jeff for this interesting tutorial and the free link.
Wonderful music lessons. Now it will be easy to practice on the guitar for me.
Great video lesson, very instructive. Thanks. Now I have to try it on my guitar.😊
Great teaching and great editing!
Excellent explicating, I thank you. I will be back for more.
Very nice, Jeff! It's great for my students, and for me as well.
Awesomely explained. I was trying to do all of that well aware of the key aspects you just explained. Right now I'm taking a little break from jazz, but I think what I was missing was trying to compose solos, which is often seen as the opposite of improvising but I think is a nice way to work on phrasing, the broad look of the solo so it just doesn't look like a bunch of licks... And don't forget to transcribe guys. I don't write my transcriptions down right away, I prefer to learn the solos by memory for a while, play them regularly, enjoy them, and maybe later on writing them down, analyze them and try to incorporate the lines on other songs.
But well it's easier said than done, hope you all can keep on with your goals as I'm trying with mine.
Jazz is oxygen. Don’t break for too long
Amazing video, really adding value 🙌🏼
Excellent teaching, Jeff.👍👍
You have summed up my 20 years of music study in 15 min. Wish I saw this 20 years ago! Maybe this is a secret that allows teachers to charge students jazz improv lessons for 19 years
WHAT A GREAT TEACHER. HUGS AND TKS FROM BRAZIL.
Your way of wording things & breaking it down makes it all easier to understand. Looking forward to the rhyming melodies video!
Nice video! it really helped me reinforce my understanding of melody in general, and it's relationship with harmony.
Such a clean video, brilliant
Beautiful video! Definitely worth the wait.
Thank you so much for this video . It was a great lesson for me .
Jeff, killin' the motion graphics!!!
Love your construct, approach!
This video is FRICKING AWESOME. and I'm not even done watching! GOOD JOB
Excellent breakdown of concepts
Excellent upload thank you.
Great lesson, presented clearly! Thanks.
Excellent job Jeff! This is exactly what I am teaching my students! If you want to do music, then your improvised solo should also be part of the song and not just high speed scale running. Best examples for your approach are the sessions of Miles Davis! Once students learned the "CHORD TONES" methode the chromatic approach to each of the "CHORD TONES" is another interesting spice to your playing! Thanks for sharing! It made my day confirming that my teaching can't be that wrong. ;)
Lit AF. Your content is stellar
wow, you really recording your screen and keyboard while playing and sketching, no wonder feels we analizing it togeather, for free content, this is taking it to the limit, invaluable
Your videos are actually so goood
