Thread: Jazz Practice Exercises

  1. #291

    Hi jazzpianoraul.
    There's a small and "funny" theory mistake in the name of your song "descending fourth", and a real mistake in the chord sequence.

    In functional harmony (tonal harmony), we talk about dominant-to-tonic resolution, meaning V degree moves/pushes to I. Since V is higher than I in the scale, we say it "falls down" to I.
    Interestingly, though, for musical effect, European musicians have preferred to move upwards with the bass, for some centuries now.
    Because of this musical preference, musicians oblivious to music theory now improperly say "circle of fourths", or "ascending fourths", instead of more properly "circle of fifths" or "descending fifths".
    You called it "descending fourths" :-D

    The REAL mistake in the chords is that the tonal sequence *does* move by descending FIFTHS (D-G-C-F-etc.).

    Happy playing! ;-)

    Hi,

    It is amazing how many charts can be found here for practicing chords and scales.
    Hardly can imagine that there is still something missing.
    I like to practice chord progressions with transpositions. A big challenge are the
    chord progressions from John Coltrane as he has used for instance in Giant Steps
    and 26-2. Based on this I created some variations on the common II-V and II-V-I.

    II-V and II-V-I Coltrane Style (8)

    Individual songs:
    V-I Coltraneando 1 - John Coltrane
    V-I Coltraneando 2 - John Coltrane
    V-I Coltraneando 3 - John Coltrane
    V-I Coltraneando 4 - John Coltrane
    II-V-I Coltraneando 1 - John Coltrane
    II-V-I Coltraneando 2 - John Coltrane
    II-V-I Coltraneando 3 - John Coltrane
    II-V-I Coltraneando 4 - John Coltrane

    Hope they are useful

    Hello Glauber.
    Remember that iReal has a transposing function: perhaps you could use that to practice in all keys whatever you wish, and not have so many songs and playlists, risking clutter.
    Tap lower-right where the letter is, above the mixer (iPhone), and choose your desired key.
    Happy playing.

    Dear Glauber,
    Your Aebersold book contribution is wonderful, thanks!
    I made some changes to your songs in order for them to comply with iReal formatting, and corrected some structure indications and keys.
    Remember to set the key correctly, in order to take full advantage of iReal transposing function.
    The CODA sign can be added by itself in a section that should be played only in the last chorus. Your first song had no coda sign, so the last measure would be played incorrectly every time. The Aebersold book doesn't have the CODA sign, incorrectly also.
    Full list of modifications follow, for clarity.

    - track 1: added repeat barline at beginning; coda sign for last measure to play only last time; END tag in last measure; set key to Fm; changed name; double barlines at end of 8-measure cycles; end-of-song barline
    - track 2: added repeat barline at beginning; coda sign for last measure to play only last time; END tag in last measure; set key to Fm; changed name; double barlines at end of 4-measure cycles; end-of-song barline
    - track 3: added repeat barline at beginning; coda sign for last measure to play only last time; END tag in last measure; changed name; double barlines at end of 8-measure cycles; end-of-song barline
    - track 4: added repeat barline at beginning; coda sign for last measure to play only last time; END tag in last measure; changed name; double barlines at end of 4-measure cycles; end-of-song barline
    - track 5: added coda sign for last measure to play only last time; END tag in last measure; changed name; end-of-song barline; changed key to Eb; removed "DC" text (unneeded: just set number of repeats)
    - track 6: END tag in last measure; changed name; removed "DC to 3rd ending" text
    - track 7: same
    - track 8: added coda sign for last measure to play only last time; END tag in last measure; changed name; end-of-song barline
    - track 9: changed name; inserted double barline every 8 measures; added coda sign for last measure to play only last time; END tag in last measure; end-of-song barline
    - track 10: changed name; inserted double barline after first cycle; added coda sign for last measure to play only last time; END tag in last measure; end-of-song barline; corrected wrong A7 chord to Am7; changed chords to reflect correct harmony changes [Aebersold errors]

    I think this thread is a bit out of control at 28 pages (as of this posting)
    I was going to post an addendum to Nimbleswitch's Magnusson exercises but i couldn't find the post (even searching this thread)

    Probably could have found it but life is short .
    Blues Triads: C Major Inversions (Closed) hard keys - Bob Magnusson, The Art Of Walking Bass (1999) p.10


    May I suggest we separate the user exercises from the exercises that are derived from published books?
