The Three Types of Dominant Chords, Part 2: Why does lydian dominant exist?

Hey everyone,

Here's part two in this mini-series. In this one, I focus on dominant 13 (#11) chords, explain where to play them, why they exist, and how to solo over them. And, most importantly, why you have to treat every dominant chord you encounter differently, depending on context.

Let me know if you have any questions!

The Three Types of Dominant Chords (Don't Play Mixolydian over Everything!) Part 1

Hello all,

This is a topic I've been wanting to cover for awhile, and I finally made a video on. I think this is something that jazz education (at least in my experience) hasn't covered enough. It's how, in the key of C, you need to play differently on an E7, compared to a Bb7, compared to a G7, compared to an F7. They all have different scales and extensions that accompany them.

It's not all hard science, but a lot of it is! I heard someone say once that 99% of music is teachable, mathematical facts, and 1% is magic. So learn the 99%!

A Tip for People Who Don't Speak English Well

So I teach some Argentinian students online. We always put on live captioning in Zoom.

Maybe you guys know this, but why not turn on zoom when you are watching a VW lesson.
Screen share the screen. Now you can watch the video and see the live captioning below.

Is that a good idea? Just thought I'd pass it on. It does not translate (yet), but you can at least here and read the english.

What do you think?

TOTM - Just In Time - Do This One Day At A Time

Here is how you do this.
4 bars at a time. That for the most part 2 chords at a time. At the end of the tune it's one bar per chord instead of 2 in the beginning.

So what you do is print this out.

  • Do the first 4 bars in every key.
  • Once you have that done, do the next 4

Take your time. Do it also on the piano if you can. Go slowly through all the keys.
