Hey bro this video won’t show up for some reason but thanks for the other videos I can’t wait to apply these lessons to my playing to my playing.
Hey! Getting that fixed now! Thanks for your patience!
Im a little confused on why its called a Minor 2nd. Why isn’t it called a flat 2nd since its actually a flat version of the 2nd note?
It can also be called a “flat 2” as well but mainly when you’re talking about these chord tones/intervals you use the characteristic of the name of the chord (minor/major). So minor 3rd is also a flat 3. But like I said when speaking about the distance between 2notes this is the terminology you use
Thanks for the clarification and quick response Daric!
absolutely! 👍🏾
For the Tritone, you can use the song “Maria” from West Side Story….a classic for us older folks!
I’ve never thought of that one. That’s actually Perfect, thanks for the tip !
Meet George Jettson! Tritone? The bassline doesn’t play it, but I think the chorus does…
Wow lol yea man that’s a good one! Have to add it to the list
There’s actually an enormous amount of stuff (technical term) going on in that tune. I played in High School Jazz Band over 40 years ago… Lots of fun!
Michael Bennett from Chicago?
Hey Daric, I just want to be clear, so the root note in the c major is c?
Not sure of your question. Do you mean in the key of c major?
Yes sir, wasn’t sure if I worded it correctly.
