The 3 Types of Spread Voicings Lesson: Drop 2, Drop 3, and Drop 2+3

Hello everyone,

In the last lesson, I explained how to methodically go through all possible extensions for a chord, and, in this one, we will look at the different options for rearranging those notes. You can use inversions, and spread techniques, including drop-2, drop-3, and drop-2+3.

Chord Scales for Minor and Half-Diminished Chords - Dorian, Harmonic Minor, Locrian, etc.

Hello all,

Here is my last lesson on chord scales for now. This one focuses on minor and half-diminished chords, and where to play certain scales. I will also soon upload an etude to go along with these lessons, making use of the scales over a tune like "All of Me." Maybe I'll also do "Just in Time."

Let me know if there are any questions!

Chord Scales for Major Chords - Ionian, Lydian, Harmonic Major, Double Harmonic Major

Hello everyone,

As with the previous lesson on dominant chord scales, I want to stress that just playing scales correctly won't necessarily produce the best improvisational content, and I think learning scales has a limited value. But there is value, and it's essentially figuring out what extensions happen on what chords.

A scale, at the end of the day, is just a 13th chord, with a 1, 3, 5, 7, 9, 11, and 13 all put within one octave, and knowing this makes scales much more useful to me. So as you practice scales, remember this and figure out what chords they relate to.
