Cool Video - Your playing reminds me of Chet Baker. I've watched this video 3 times and I don't know what you are talking about when you say step 1 or step 2 or step 3 of the ladder? Do you mean chord intervals? As in D diminished step one on ladder is D step 2 is F step 3 is Ab??
I'm really glad I found your channel and thanks for the great lesson and website. Really good playing, lots of feeling and sincerity. Thanks for your efforts.
Where does this chuck get off. "It's impossible to sound good on tunes like this without using diminished jazz vocabulary."
Hai gaiz. I'm gonna like.. go home and shed on that diminished jazz. I need to get more of that diminished jazz vocabulary so I can be a great shredding musician. :B
For my two cents worth ... jazzy teach ... you are splitting hairs ... his point is to show ways of getting outside the sound of straight diatonic chords. Mr Willie Thomas ... I am from HK and love your site ... and thank you for your time efforts and passing on your deep understanding
"it's impossible too sound good on a tune without using dimished vocab"-not true at all. there's the altered scale, chromatic runs and other non-diatonic scales used
To Jazzyteach65 ....." point taken" .... I agree ... that it is quite possible to sound good with anything you use that fits the moment and sounds good .... which includes an almost unlimited potential for note or scale selection, .... so .... accept my humble apology in overstating my penchant for the diminished vocabulary, which I'm sure you'll agree has a prominent place in that realm of possibilities! Good call!
@Jazzyteach65 he said tunes like this, not tunes in general. it makes more sense that way, because of the minor 2-5's in what is this thing called love, and how they directly relate to the diminished sound.
Great video, If you need any help getting your videos or channel exposed, i use a service called thetubeviews . net it has helped 5 of my videos get ranked on the first page

@1979saxman That's not improvising. Lol. That's playing muscular memory stuff and stuff that you've practiced before.
