Again thank you Adam, cant be grateful enough, you sincerely changed my life (I'm not lying) I wish I could have had a teacher like you 10 years ago. You have such a great and simple way to explain the theory....

One of the first recordings of jazz I heard was strangely this from John Coltrane and Duke Ellington. The harmonization of the melody by soprano sax and piano on that original recording is always captivating to me. Great lesson/session!

Great practice, but I can't find the playlist. Can I get it please ?

Wonderful lesson...but I don't understand why a pentatonic scale should be described as starting from the fifth degree of the chord - that seems needlessly complicated and it obscures the relation of the scale to the chord tones. Instead of describing a scale as a "minor pentatonic starting on the fifth degree of the chord", why not just say it's a pentatonic scale with the 1, 2, 4, 5, and b7 degrees of the chord?

Great I recently spent $70 dollars for the course and the first 30 minute lesson (that I haven't completed yet) on Coltrane is made available to the public. Not sure how to feel about this.

I'm getting conflicting note choices on the D minor 6th Pentatonic. Some musicians are saying the notes are D, E, F, A, B, D and some are saying D, F, G, A, B, D. Just wondering on the correct designated notes for this scale...

[davidsheriff]

So you guys say a minor 6 Pentatonic is 1 2 3 5 6? I have always considered a minor Pentatonic to be 1 3 4 5 6. That is what I hear Coltrane and McCoy do more frequently on minor modal tunes.

[markbra]

Really like that metronome. Are they still available?
