Great and well presented information Kent..Thankyou.

I always have great pleasure in coming back to your teaching, which is so fascinating and educational.

I wanted to ask you: in my songs, I use chord overlays, but all I do is transpose, move. They are therefore rigid, the position of the degrees do not change between them, they only move.
But I was once shown a system for building block chords, which would be based on sixth chords. So my question: could you, in a video, explain how we construct these block chords, starting from C for example, and breaking down the process carefully, note by note?

Thanks if you do.
Thank you for reading me.

To the pleasure,

[joesauvage]

Kent, always love your videos and pick up several golden nuggets...of course there would be gold nuggets in the stream near the Jazz Ranch! I also love the new format!
And as for Kent's books...they are well worth it! Deepest thanks always brother!

YeeHa! Great to be back in the saddle again at the Jazz Ranch. Nice job with the OBS video and audio mixes. Really enjoyed the content and the fun Ranch theme. Swing loose!

Just loving the new Jazz ranch setting and video layout in the last few videos. This lesson helps re-inforce basic jazz knowledge and your book has solved musical puzzles I never thought i'd understand. Thank you Kent.

Wow! Kent...the of cowboy Ranch is da hora!!!!🇧🇷🇧🇷🇧🇷🇧🇷💰🪓

What do you think about the 3 diminished scales which each have 4 keys that share it? I somehow think maybe they are in the same family and is that where the subdominants come from in the keys? I see I can move the 5 chord in any key in minor thirds and it goes 4 times before repeating....

Beautiful Kent, thanks mate, I feel I'm ready for this level right now. You are doing a great job.

[mikerosenbush]

Does anyone what software is being used ?
I mean the keyboard tracker and chord estimation (for want if a better description) thought it would be handy as a learning aid for my meagre skills

[cooltrades]

Hi Ken, just thought about you, glad you're doing well and putting stuff on Y.T.Have a great day!

[betofigueredo]

How come you still getting even better with these vids? God bless! Kudos from Brasil!

[peterklo]

Hello Kent. Thank you very much again. There's a lot to learn. By the way, I always thought while reading different lead sheets, you can read the notation as seven AND as nine.

[Sweet_Solos]

Hey kent great videos you should try to apply a noise reduction filter on post-production to reduce the white noise coming in

Howdy, Kent. Thanks for the beginner lesson. Wondering if you can discuss chord-melody? I'm trying to play melody+upper chord with my right hand while bass+lower chord with my left hand and finding it a real challenge. Thanks.
