    ONLY Scale and Chords You Need to Know for Jazz
    Welcome to episode 269 where I have the audacity to suggest that you only need to know one scale in order to start improvising over jazz standards. And chords? Only a small handful.This episode will help beginner and intermediate jazz musicians cut the fat, weed out the excess, and get down to the essentials.Every month in our LJS Inner Circle membership, we do something called the Monthly Jazz Mastermind. And this is an opportunity for all the members to get on a live Q&A call with me to ask any music or jazz-related questions. It's a lot of fun and we had a great question that came up, and the question was, "as a trumpet player, which scales and chords are considered to be a must-know before going on to others?"And the first way I answer this particular member was that it doesn't matter if you're a trumpet player or a guitar player, a bass player, or a saxophone player. Whatever instrument you play when it comes to jazz, there are really only a few scales and really only a few chords that you need to know before going on and exploring more in-depth things. In fact, I had the audacity to suggest that this particular musician only needs to know one scale. So, let's dig into that in this episode. Let's discover this. Let's break things down, make things simpler and let's do this thing.In this episode:1. Understanding the major scale 2. Understanding how to harmonize a major scale with 7th chords 3. There are only 5 chords you need to know 4. Understanding how to utilize the major scale over all of the 7th chordsImportant Links:1. Podcast Sponsor: Modacity (music practicing app) 2.

We want to know what those things actually are. If we can learn from others like us trying to accomplish the same thing, we can fast-track our growth by just keying into these things. So you are going to learn so much in today's episode from so many different special guests. Get ready for this. This is going to be a fun celebratory episode.In this episode:1.

    Innovative Practice Strategies for Mind, Body, and Music (feat. Marc Gelfo)
    Welcome to episode 267 where today we have a special guest, founder and CEO of Modactiy, Marc Gelfo, on to talk about practice strategy. In this episode, Marc digs beneath the surface and shares his thoughts on practicing effectively drawing from neuroscience, psychology, and his experience as an extraordinarily accomplished french hornist.When it comes to practicing, we often talk about what you should be practicing to improve your musicianship or your jazz skills. And often some tactics are prescribed. I know that I often prescribe certain practice regimens, different things that you can do to accelerate your progress. But we often don't talk about the deeper side, the brain side, the psychological side of practicing. How we can speed up our development by the way we think, by the way we feel physically. And all these things that are kind of meta and beneath the surface of what we normally talk about when we talk about practicing.So, on today's show, I have a very special guest Marc Gelfo, the founder of the practicing app Modacity, to get inside of all this stuff with us, to talk about the mind, the body, and music and how we can apply some real strategies for improving our practicing and improving our progress.In this episode:1. Marc's background on how he came to effective practicing 2. Why practicing well matters (and the consequences of not) 3. Marc's emotional, mental, and technical practice hacks 4. The role of recording your practice 5. Modacity and how it can help you practice more effectivelyImportant Links:1.

    Mastering Swing Feel and Finding That Perfect Swing
    Welcome to episode 266 where today we talk about swing feel, what it is, how to properly swing, and some common mistakes musicians make. Swing is the most unique style of jazz, despite there being multiple straight eighth styles associated with jazz. But what exactly makes up a swing feel, and how do we find the balance between "over swinging" and "under swinging." This episode gets you headed in the right direction.Even though jazz has a lot of different styles and grooves associated with the genre, the most unique style is swing. The idea of swinging your eighth notes, then of course all the other rhythmic associations that come with that. I mean, even a bass player just playing quarter notes can swing really hard and have that feeling underneath it. But I hear a lot of musicians not really quite hitting the mark. Not really getting the swing feel correct. And so, I want to dive into that in today's episode, to really kind of discover the rhythmic background to the swing feel and then try to figure out what is the sweet spot with swinging and playing eighth-note lines that are straight, what's the beautiful perfect match between the two of those that will really make us groove really hard.In this episode:1. Swung eighth notes are based on a triplet pattern 2. How to play straight eighth, triplet eighths, and swung eighths 3. Avoid accenting the "let" of the triplet. 4. Finding the sweet spot between straight and swung eighth notes 5. Copying other jazz musicians' swing feel will help you better understand the feeling of a good swing feelImportant Links:1.
