Presented by music theory master Eli Krantzberg, this collection of video tutorials focuses on all that is jazz.
This information in this series is the “tried and true” jazz theory and methods taught in music schools and colleges around the world. The series was developed for beginners who want to get into jazz music and learn the necessary basics, as well as more advanced topics about this long-standing art form.
First, you’ll be shown jazz theory basics, such as how jazz chords and chord progressions are derived, and the foundation for constructing chord voicings. Then, Eli explores useful systems of chord voicings, and how to play and integrate them with bass and drums. Next, you’ll see how to develop melodic sensitivities and approaches for improvising over standard chord progressions using the appropriate scales and motivic devices. Scales, licks and modes are then covered as well as modes and chord substitutions. Finally, Eli wraps it all up with a real world musical collaboration with jazz guitarist Doug Zangar.
