I'm loving @andeeblacksugar 's #namethatscale #instagramseries . Geeking out about different scales and nerdy musician things with Andee is always a blast. Since he featured my favorite scale in one of his episodes, I decided to make my version of the Dorian pentatonic (1, 2, b3, 5 maj 6th) in a summer happy way. I'm just not sure if I can match Andee's incredible outfits, looks, and overall rock n'roll awesomeness though.... 🌝🙉😎🕉🤘🏽👙 . . . #keyofg #rocknrollfashion #selvadepedra #25thfloor #37celsius #hotweather #feelslikethebeach #158bpm #funk #chordscales #jazzimprovisation #symmetricsounds #basslinesfordays #bassplayersunited #bassplayers #bassplayerbrasil #musictheory #femalebassist #newyorkmusicians

#throwback [Jazzy diminished sounds] Getting ready for today's soundcheck and rehearsal at Dewan Filharmonik Petronas and decided to warm up using some ideas from my studies with Rick Peckham. I wrote these 2 exercises to practice some diminished chord sounds. If you're trying these out, practice them slowly at first and focus on gettting a good tone and playing them in time (even if it means playing these slowly). That's the key getting the sound in your ears and in your hands. =) #berklee #azsamad #freakingawesome #jazz #jazzmusic #jamming #learning #learningneverends #jazzharmony #diminishedscale #diminishedchords #chordscales #rickpeckham #boston #musicmajor #malaysianmusic #malaysianmusician #music #creativity #creativity #practice

#hankmobley #jazzlicks are so beautifully logical and elegant you can never learn too many of them. Take this major 7 lick from his first chorus solo over "If I Should Lose You" from his 1960 album Soul Station. Listen for it at 0:56. - - - It starts from scale from above the 5th of Bbmaj7 straight down the chordscale to the root on beat 3 then arpeggiates down to the fifth and third, back up the scale to the fifth on beat 1 and arpeggiates to the root. - - - It's handy to have a two measure major 7 lick to rely on or to use as a melodic sendoff to one of your own licks. - - - See this lick in context and learn more about how Hank Mobley improvises by watching the lesson "Improvising Over If I Should Lose You." https://www.instagram.com/p/BsJfOMZjYsM/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=sp0849e7nmnx

I can't play piano so yolo these days, but i still like exploring the instrument and learning more about harmony. Today I got into some of the chords peculiar to the harmonic minor scale, hear are some things I noticed

(i) - interesting min/maj7 chordscale

(ii) - Diminished chord with a leading tone, useful for II/Vs and reinforcing the colour of the chordmode

(biii) Major#5 chordscale, can make a major chord by playing the first, third and seventh, but the augmented fifth sounds pretty yolo w.

(iv) another diminished chord. Could be used as a normal ii chord to move to start a ii+v into a different key(e.g Db major)

(v)bv Phyrgian Dominant chordscale - very colourful dominant sound

(bvi) min/Maj7 chordscale with a minor triad and major sixth. The characteristic first, minor third, 5th and major 6th are found in the dorian mode, however with a #4 and #7 this is a pretty gnarly chordmode lol. A major triad can also be formed here.

(vii) another diminished chord or actually it could also be a major chord with kind of lydian augmented extensions.

notes: full diminished chord (with seventh) available on ii, iv, bvi and viii)

It's possible to stray into some interesting modal territory from the harmonic minor, and utilizing chromatic movement. For example falling chords from Bb,A,G#,G(G# and G both being non-diatonic passing tones) down to a Gb leaves you just one semitone above the Dominant V chord and it's also a tritone from your ii diminished chord.

I am always drawn toward the Gb lydian chord scale, if you leave out the second degree, you're actually inkeeping with the Bb minor harmonic scale's pitches. Also the nearness of the F7 chord is very convenient. I found myself playing a kind of altered dominant sound (treating the flattened 6th as a raised 5th, forming a chord from the notes F,A,Db,Eb.

Cadences: The perfect cadence sounds pretty good in the harmonic minor (iv,v,i) A plagal cadence (i,ii,iv,i) sounds interesting, the diminished chord on iv gives some nice chromatic movement back to the i chord. An imperfect cadence (i, iv, i, v) seems chill. An interrupted cadence sounds hela-interesting, (i,iv,v,bvi)

Anyway, I hope to go through these ideas more methodically at some point, today i was just jazzin around today lol.

I think there are a lot of cool ways to change key. I mainly did ii/vs and using chromatic movement to glide into different keys and modes.

I also noticed, that a sense of melodic continuation really helped make the modulations sound purposeful (at times!), and the old ii/v/i helped to define the sense of the root scale. I'll get more into the cadence action next time.

Some of my experiments were probably more successful than others, but I enjoyed how epic'ly educational my day was!
