I spend a significant portion of my practice time on ear training activities, and try to find ways to incorporate an ear training aspect into all of my practicing. One of the things that makes harmony so complex is that as you add notes, the complexity increasing in a combinatorial way, not an additive way. For example: If you hear an E against a C, it's one piece of information: major 3rd.

If you hear an E and a G against a C it's 3 pieces of information: major 3rd between C and E, perfect 5th between C and G, and minor 3rd between E and G. If you hear an E, G, and B, against a C, it's 6 pieces of information: major 3rd between C and E, perfect 5th between C and G, and minor 3rd between E and G, major 7th between C and B, perfect 5th between E and B, major 3rd between G and B.

Technical criteria[edit] Based on our present chromatic system, a tempered system of 12 sounds, these modes are formed of several symmetrical groups, the last note of each group always being common with the first of the following group.

At the end of a certain number of chromatic transpositions which varies with each mode, they are no longer transposable, giving exactly the same notes as the first.[1] There are two complementary ways to view the modes: considering their possible transpositions, and considering the different modes contained within them. Definition by chromatic transposition[edit] Transposing the diatonic major scale up in semitones results in a different set of notes being used each time. Any scale having 12 different transpositions is not a mode of limited transposition. Definition by shifting modal degrees[edit] Consider the intervals of the major scale: tone, tone, semitone, tone, tone, tone, semitone.

I mean, chord-tone soloing is kind of lame, right? If you really want to be good, just learn a bunch of scales and then play them really fast in the right key. Hipness? Attained. OK, back to reality. What's the Point? I didn't see the point in playing the notes that were in the chord. What I didn't understand was that he was telling me my lines didn't have any direction because I wasn't making the connections in the harmony with just scales.

If It's Good Enough for Mike... I once attended a Mike Stern seminar where he was talking about practicing chord-tone soloing and how he still does it while shedding tunes. Mike then went on to play -- I'm not kidding -- one of the most beautiful solos I've ever heard him play. Like a little kid, with that goofy grin he always has, you could see the joy on his face just playing 1-3-5-7 of the chords.

He question cannot help but arise, “Don't some people get music naturally, without all of the discipline and commitment and analysis?” Ou have to work out your own recipe for learning, which includes your interaction with this book and the procedures outlined in it. Here is a population of musicians who are both intellectually aware and musically whole; at the same time there are millions among us who achieve a high level of musical creativity in a state of musical innocence: the lyrical jazz trumpet player Chet Baker comes to mind.
