SYSTEMATIC OVERVIEW of MUSICAL SCALES

We’ll create a simple, outstanding and consistently systematic overview of musical scales. First we’ll define our field of study. Then we’ll do a methodical scale walkthrough and draw our simple overview scale chart. And finally, if you’re interested, we’ll discuss some geeky music theory stuff about the methods in use and the preconditions of our simple scale overview chart. In many ways, this new more simple way of systemizing scales is quite revolutionary. We’ll cut off the nonsense, so to speak, and we’ll understand musical scales in a more free, liberating way more suited for the analysis of modern NewJazz Music. I’ve made the scale overview chart from this video on a simple one page PDF - I hope you’ll find it useful :) I’ve made another similar jazz tutorial about musical scales. The lesson is not as systematic and geeky as this one. It’s more practical. For example we use the scales to improvise on 2-5-1 chord progressions. I’ve also made another jazz lesson about the Family 1 scales in particular and we learn to recognize the musical scales by how they actually sound. All NewJazz lessons are free, public and for everybody. I have no sponsors and I sell no merchandise. I’m just little me trying to make Music the EPIC CENTER of everything!
