Learn Jazz Theory

[bb666]

Hi All,

Just launched a new website that teaches everything you need to know about how to play Jazz. It covers Jazz Chords, Jazz Scales, Improvisation, Chord Voicings, Common Chord Progressions, Reharmonization, Modal Harmony, Free Jazz and more. And it's all completely 100% FREE.

Check it out if you're interested: https://www.thejazzpianosite.com/

Cheers

I'm checking out your website, it looks awesome! I'm amazed you're willing to share all of this free! That's very generous of you .  I will check some of these videos out! Thank you for sharing your knowledge and talent!

Yeah, this is going to be very interesting!!

I find classical music very fun, and it will probably be the genre I will play for as long as my hands can move. But it wouldn't hurt if I learn some jazz theory - possibly some jazz music too! It's like learning how to juggle 3 balls, but now we're juggling 4. Both skills will benefit each other; as far as I know.. What a terrible analogy but thanks again.

Absolutely awesome site for explanation Jazz in very practical terms. I'm a beginner, but a free spirited beginner, and this is exactly what I was looking for. Thanks a bunch for sharing your awesome knowledge and skills - both in playing and teaching!

Can you tell me what's in the site?  I don't make a habit of visiting random sites, although I'm sure you're fine -- once bitten, twice cautious, you know!

So, for example, do you provide examples of applications of transcribed linear improvisations over common chord progressions?

Do you present some reasoned arguments for preferring modes based on ascending melodic minor scales, versus harmonic minor modes, or both?

Do you have anything to say about how to make transcribing easier for the beginner?

Not saying you should answer those, just those sorts of topics would be good if you want people to leave the thread you started to discuss music theory as it's been applied in jazz in some other thread.

I'm curious why your special insights into music theory can't be answered in your thread.

I do understand there are some "special" posters here who have some special ideas, but I'd love to discover a new site to advance the cause of music theory.

So, what is the content of this new site, and why can't it be discussed here? 

Call me old-fashioned, but I'm here, and there are a few others who claim to have some valid points, so why would I go somewhere else?

Looks Good. I'll check it out in depth when I get a chance. I've been looking into learning Jazz Piano and this could be a good start.

While I'm normally with J_Tour, I risked the click and it's actually all pretty solid stuff. There's the generic stuff, but there are also specific voicing styles of different pianists. Good stuff I plan to check out.
