Understanding Jazz Harmony - Part Two

[IronPump89]

was the whole thing in Cmajor? you didnt change the key note anywhere?

[racine09]

Very useful and informative- the asides are a bit distracting sometimes when I am trying to grasp the whole concept though.Thanks

[cyberflea07]

thanks a lot.

it's amazing how two weeks later I know it has many different names : altered scale,Pomeroy scale,Ravel scale or diminished whole tone....and I even realize I've been using it naturaly with out knowing about it's existence!!! studying harmony can really slow you down,but once you realize what it's all about,you gain a whole new perspective and attitude towards your instrument....

[cyberflea07]

what intervals make up the altered scale?thanx

[manuorchestra]

@cyberflea07 It's a melodic minor scale starting on the 7th degree.

You have : 1 b2 b3 b4 b5 b6 b7 . As the b4 can be heard as a major 3rd, this scale works well over dominant chord with resolution (basically over dominant chord with flat or sharp 9, or with flat or sharp 5). This mode provides lot of tension. Hope it helps...

[IronPump89]

@cyberflea07  1, b9, #9, 3, b5, #5, b7

Sorry.. but

how do you play bass voice and melody with only a pickup?

for example you play the low e string and a melody on the high strings. do you always have to mute the others and sturm?

i only played with fingerpicking yet

[ibzmav]

It would be better if you played the melody first before you went to dissecting & discussing them.
