      Basically the tritone interval is notoriously dissonant (eg. C to F#). Going from C major straight to F# major would sound like a non sequitur. He shows that you can use just one intermediate chord to make it sound right all of a sudden.

    1. take a dominant chord (V) and isolate only the third and the seventh
    2. move the third half a step up ; and the seventh half a step down - you get the I chord (without the fifth) - very common way of resolving the voices
    3. now do the opposite: resolve the third half a step down ; and the seventh half a step up. Now you get the bV chord (tritone), also no fifth.
    (that's the basic reason why this works so well: the two most important notes of the chord are resolving by half steps. You can alway omit the root and the fifth without any major consequences to the harmonic understanding of the chord change. Or you can distribute them in a way that seems adequate, provided you use that half-step voice leading in the 3rd and 7th)

    ive only recently gotten into listening to jazz, and know (embarrassingly) almost no music theory despite how long ive played an instrument - where do i start learning what these transcriptions mean and most importantly add them to my musical arsenal? it's like an itch that's been harder to ignore whenever i hear a part of a song or piece that gives musicians the stank face but i cant pin down what makes that one chord or chord progression so good nor catch what chord it is

    • @ShawnBoucke

    • @Croix1
      @Croix1 Před 3 lety +41

      Well, from my perspective at least, I got the "stank face" feeling without having really known much music theory (although I know a lot more today), just listened to a lot of jazz (and music in general). It's not really a theory thing, it's more when you hear something unusual that sounds really cool to you, and I'm pretty sure this is the same reason most musicians get it.
      When you listen to enough music you just automatically pick up on patterns of melodies and chords (even if you can't name or transcribe them), and you will be able to tell if someone is doing something crazy or unusual, and it's often exciting when it happens. People call it the "stank face", but to me it always looks like (for myself and others) a kinda scrunched up like "whaaaat" kinda face, because people do it when they're trying to understand what the musician is doing (kind of how your face scrunches up when you're deeply thinking about something).
      To be clear, I've been making music for 10 years (although I've only known music theory almost at all for the past few), so I don't know how much that experience contributes to how I perceive it. I do think if you just listen to a ton of music you will eventually gain the same appreciation, although I can't really recommend getting into playing instruments/making music enough. I won't say it will make your life better or enrich it or shit like that, but I can say it is extremely fun once you get over the initial hurdles.

      @@Dlroper95 Tritone of C is Gb. Modulation technique used is to find the dominant chord of Gb, which is Db7. This chord has: Db, F, Ab, Cb.
      So from C, you can walk the C down a half step, C up a half step, E up a half step, and G up a half step. That makes a Db7/Cb. The Cb will continue down another half step when forming the Gb, which is a nice voice path.

The nice voice leading is accomplished by putting the 7 of the C#7 (the B) in the bass, and the 3 of the F# major (the A#) in the bass, which gives a nicely descending bassline of C -> B -> A#.

      Thanks for your comments! Wouldn't that just be a Neapolitan 7th in 3rd inversion though? I'm taking this from 1) the fact that the term "Neapolitan 6th" implies that the "Neapolitan" applies for the bII chord independent of its figuration as a 1st inversion chord (what's being referred to as containing the augmented 6th), and 2) and that the addition of the 7th is a fairly commonplace extension of the Neapolitan chord.

      It's really not though. If you understand why the dominant resolves to a tonic, then you understand about 90% of what he does here. All he's doing is saying, OK my target tonic is a tritone away so the intermediary chord is going to be the dominant of *that* (in this case Db7). It's not complex at all.

    This is a common resolution in jazz. The V7 chord (in this case, G7) is substituted by using the tritone sub of Db7, and resolves down to C by a half step. Jazz players attempt to play chords horizontally rather than vertically, which makes the song and the improvisation flow that much better......

    It's like a C to F/A motion except the C7 (3rd inversion) just becomes C#7. You can go down this pattern forever. So the bass can go stepwise down with 3rd inv. 7ths and 1st inv. triads.

    Just remember as they talk about all this jargon some of the most beautiful songs in the world were written by people who knew about this musical theory stuff and couldn't tell you about dominant notes etc, but boy did they have command of real music. Learning all this jargon is no different than learning syntax of language and present perfect etc etc. Just because you can spout if off and break down sentences etc does not mean you can write a sonnet like Shakespeare.

    It took me way too long to figure this out. Starting from the second row of the transcription, it goes: C major to a tritone substitution: Db7. We have now modulated to the key of Gbmaj. Therefore the Db7 resolves to Gb (the new I chord). Then to Abm (II chord). Back to Gb (I chord). Gb to G11 is another tritone substitution. We have modulated back to the key of Cmaj. Therefore the G11 resolves to C6 (the new I chord). Then to Dmsus4 (II chord). Back to Cadd9 (I chord).
