[mavdog5]

What scale would you use to solo over this?

If there was a decision to delete all of youtube and only backup 1 gb of the videos, I would choose THIS video for backup! Amazing with all the substitutions. I don't know a thing about music theory, but ever since I heard that coltrane substitution the first time, I have had those exact chords on my mind! I frequently come back to watch this video to enjoy the (to me) ecstatic tones! I really wanna pick this up as soon as I get the chance!

[hiramgomezb]

I love your videos. Thank you very much

Thank you for sharing.

Good video.

[BlikeNave]

Lol one frustrated dislike.

[woogedy]

what a silly hat!

[wafflesquad]

Please tell me that that is a recreation of the 1952 Telecaster with a 2-piece Maple Neck with two Single Coil Pickups, a Black Pickup Guard and a Butterscotch Finish. I have the same Guitar!!!!!!!:)

P.S. This progression can be used for Do-Wop music as well.

P.S.S. I'm 12, be amazed.

Justin: Prior to this excellent lesson  on chord substitution and tri-tones I used think of the A7 flat substituting for the D7 resovling to GMaj7 as a D7flatt 5-flat9 without the root, becausue fit you play the D note that's what it would be. Your thoughts on this as it gets confusing what to call it.

Hi Justin. What other chord progressions are worth learning. "The really popular ones"

[tobaccorich]

Dude Man i love your lessons

First time i ever took notes while watching a u toob

[chorren]

awesome

[robjazztorres]

interesting lesson! just a note on the Coltrane changes - isn't it some sort of enhancement for tritone changes? The substitution looks like tritone changes, only they are in major chord form instead of a 7th. Oh well, that's how I see it, don't really need to understand it completely. :)

Hi Justin.

Just discovered your lessons a couple of days ago. Thanks so much. I've just recently started looking into jazz chord progressions and have been playing around with 'rhythm changes'. This lesson is exactly what I've been looking for, on substitutions. Quite encouraging that I could follow the theory. The one where you say you don't know theoretically why it should work, - isn't simply the voice leading?

Thanks again, Justin. Much appreciated.

nice job.

[JimminyPricket]

Great as usual.

[stevalianarbone]

Your new videos are super clear to see Justin

[stumpie0789]

Hey justin, would you mind doing a video on chord substitutions for minor keys? Love the videos, very helpful, keep up the good work!

[Axemaniac]

Hey Justin, excellent lesson as always. Will you be doing any lessons on jazz soloing over different chord progression or over a standard perhaps? Cheers mate!

[QuentinNorth]

cutting to the chase...i ve been checkin out Birelli Lagrene's killer rendition of "C'est si bon" and he's using some interesting chord subs that sounds like ballpark to what u do here...would be nice to cover the theory behind it if you have the time...keep up the good work.QN

[QuentinNorth]

hey justin. congrats on yet another terrific video...funny how universities charge 3 grand per year on a subject you just delivered in 10 minutes... offcourse there's more to it if you really wanna get behind it,,but that's another subject altogether...

[djdl]

Dude you're really starting to do my head in..... :-)

[chuckm97]

What happened to the links so that you can save it for later use?

[Xar0mir]

You start enjoying jazzy sounds more eh? :D

Or at least it feels like you get more comfortable with that stuff now. :3

[chrishpippin]

This was an awesome video. Thank you so much, Justin. Very helpful in jazz to a 20 year guitar player in blues/country/rock. Love the jazz sound.

[saxophonefreak101]

love your shirt and jazz lessons! i'm a sax player and your theory lessons definitely clear things up :)

[tybittz]

good to see u again Sir Sandercoe. :)

[Topdoginuk]

I see your video is over 10mins! Is this something to do with 'partnering' with Youtube?

[DuskY1991]

I love this stuff! Great lesson!

[atodea]

I love the new jazz lessons!

[JustinSandercoe]

@amsterdamob not really. I can turn them off. But not enough people are donating or buying DVDs at the moment, so I need the extra revenue that the ads bring. Sorry, but if more people support the site voluntarily - then I will gladly take them off. I hate ads as much as everyone else.

[amsterdamob]

@JustinSandercoe

Oh, I apologize.

Im embarrassed at myself!

I know nothing about the intricacies of YouTube, lol.

You are doing a great service for many musicians. Very valuable stuff!

Please excuse my ignorance.

[Topdoginuk]

@JustinSandercoe That's really so sad. Given how much you give the world, it's disheartening to hear that voluntary donations are thin. Perhaps I will send you that book after all.....'The Selfish Gene' by Pro Richard Dawkins. It depicts the stark reality of human behaviour that we choose to want to ignore.

[wimpy77]

@JustinSandercoe i just click em and watch. it's no problem.

[SiggyMe]

@JustinSandercoe Well said, and its important that you are able to make a living. Ads are just as distracting as you allow them to be. Thanks for your videos.

[xxxxneoxxxx]

@JustinSandercoe Justin, you are amazing man. Not only you are willing to give something to the world for no money in return, but you also take the bother and find sponsors to get extra money to support the production of videos and stuff. You are a great man. I've learnt and still am learning a lot from you. Thanks for everything you do for us.

[JeffRozak]

@JustinSandercoe Is it a coincidence that the ad that just played was for the AC/DC Iron Man 2 soundtrack? LOL! that gave me a chuckle. ;-)

[cornerbox]

@amsterdamob shut up you muppet..

[BrunoBaudewyns]

Hi Justin, Thanks for the lesson.

Are you gonna do some jazz soloing lessons in the future?

[chuckfaststrat]

Good players aren't necessarily good teachers. Teaching is a seperate skill all together. You, Justin, have a great gift in both aspects.

[fblitk]

Justin you're the man, your musical knowledge is outstanding, may I know when you started to learn to play Guitar?

Thanks.

[junka22]

Oh, I that Coltrane thing sounds like Giant Steps, I think it's called the Coltrane Matrix or something and has something to do with moving through keys in thirds, wikipedia says this "The changes serve as a pattern of chord substitutions for the ii-V-I progression and are noted for the tonally unusual root movement down by major thirds (as opposed to the usual minor or major seconds, see steps and skips, thus the "giant steps"), creating an augmented triad."

[JustinSandercoe]

@junka22 I can't believe I didn't think to wiki it :) that kinda explains it but relative to all other theory I know it still shouldn't work!! but it does...

[junka22]

@JustinSandercoe hehe, just goes to show that the ear is the most important tool in music. The wonderful Ted Greene said in a GIT seminar that you can find right here on YouTube that "everything is in every key" and I think it's true. He was amazing, really worth a watch if you haven't seen it already.

[johnklucy]

@JustinSandercoe all the chords in the coltrane sub contain chord tones for Imaj7, you could consider the Ebmaj7 as borrowing from parallel minor, then its a series of Vmaj7 chords up to the Dbmaj7.

[DrakeBellCovers]

Hey Justin, thanks for the lesson - I love it! Just a quick question; the way you finger the diminished chords here, wouldn't they be diminished sevenths for the 1-b3-b5-6? Correct me if I'm wrong, I'm not too great with this stuff, lol. Thanks a lot for your lessons here, they are wicked!

[junka22]

@DrakeBellCovers Diminished seven chords are actually usually thought of as the same thing as a diminished triad. The only difference is that diminished could sometimes mean only the 1-b3-b5, but usually if you see for example Cdim it means dim7 hope that clarifies it, take care :)

[DrakeBellCovers]

@junka22 Ah, thank you very much. That's a big help! :)

[junka22]

@DrakeBellCovers *I meant to say that Diminished is usually thought of as a diminished 7 instead of just a diminished triad

[JustinSandercoe]

@DrakeBellCovers yes if I say diminished I mean diminished 7th always - R b3 b5 bb7.

[junka22]

thanks Justin, I love these jazz lessons, I hope you make more

[cryman89]

dope, love your theory lessons. Did you teach yourself all of this stuff?

[Laurecious123]

@xiris420 you should better write something smart instead of acting like a child on who will wirte something first...

Very nice video Justin, like all other are :) everything crystal clear :) do more rock stuff :)
