    over-complexifying?

    You could have just said over complicating rather than making yourself into an idiot

    Yeah this would really help me a lot but I have no clue how to do any of these chords. I only know the basic way of deing a 7 chord and a 9 chord but other than that, I have no idea like the 13 chord and flat 5 and all of that other stuff. Don’t understand! Never tried to play jazz before.

    Interchange
    C,D,E,F,G,A,B,C-(No Flats)
    C,D,E,F,G,A,Bb,C-(Bb)
    C,D,Eb,F,G,A,Bb,C-(Eb, Bb)
    C,D,Eb,F,G,Ab,Bb,C-(Eb, Ab, Bb)
    C,Db,Eb,F,G,Ab,Bb,C-(Db, Eb, Ab, Bb,)
    C,Db,Eb,F#,G,Ab,Bb,C-(Db, Eb, F#, Ab, Bb)

    See, you went from (Sun) Major to (Moon) reciprocal minor.

    HERE IS THE GREAT DIESIS:
    C,D,E,F#,G,A,B,C#
    See, Flatten each note of the scale on that order. One at a time and improvise. You’ll improvise freely; there is no such thing as a ‘root’ note…. Just Listen! Good luck…

    It’s really easy if you understand what chords are:

    Picture a major scale: C
    C will be the 1
    D – 2;E – 3;F – 4;G – 5;A – 6;B – 7
    So “normal” major chords use the root, the third and the fifth – C, E and G for the C major.

    A flat five is just what it says = flat fifth, a C chord would use Gb.

    9 chords are just the 2nd an octave higher, 11 is a 4th, and 13 is a 6th.

    You can just pick up the notes however its confortable…

    These are just names really, just try and see what sounds good.

    Smartass? You’re the one who isn’t being realistic. First of all, I don’t know what a six year old baby is doing watching instructional videos is doing, he should be playing with toys or watching kids programs. Second, knowing swear words is fine as long as you teach your kids that those are swears and not to spur it out all the time. I knew “fuck” and “shit” by age 8, but it’s not like I went around school saying it to every person I know, nor do I now. Get real, moron.

    I shouldn’t worry about the whole “S” word thing, it seems the parents take bigger offence than the children, all it takes is a quiet word and they’ll never say it again.

    Anyway to get back on topic, awesome vid Justin :D
