Description: We exercise only 2 small LICKS contained by a single triad upper structure HAND GRIP to improvise great jazz solos over the 7 melodic minor modes. The theory behind this may be a little hard, but the practice is very easy. 00:00 Introduction 01:00 Where to place our fingers 01:35 The melodic minor scale 02:22 Introducing the HAND GRIP 03:08 EXERCISE 1 (with lick 1) 07:10 EXERCISE 2 (with lick 2) 09:48 Mix the Licks 11:19 All 7 Melodic Minor Modes 16:09 Mnemonic rules to reach the Modes 18:07 Play the Modes with Lick 1 & 2 20:06 Thank you so much :) 20:36 Surprise (useful tricks) More theory about the 7 melodic minor modes specifically: youtube.com/watch?v=rvStGI_tn1o General theory lesson about ALL scales: youtube.com/watch?v=Vq2xt2D3e3E In this other lesson we use the same left hand grip and triad upper structure right hand grip and we play different chord progressions by using the grips. For example I elaborate on how we can play the 2-5-1 progression in minor: youtube.com/watch?v=3FcuCR14Lmw More about the LEFT hand grip and it's inversions (with exercises): youtube.com/watch?v=terR7sZL7m4 You are so much welcome to make a voluntary donation at paypal.me/newjazz patreon.com/newjazz but you certainly don't have to - all NewJazz lessons are free, public and for everybody - enjoy :) Warm regards from Oliver Prehn newjazz.dk
