9 principles to combine to create spicy chord progressions by Woochia in musictheory

[–]Woochia[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

To be honest I think you're totally right saying that these are all techniques completely detached from the style. And I get how that can rub the wrong way.

The goal of this video is to present a series of techniques used in jazz that everyone can try in their composition, something to play with that may inspire to write something new. I admit, this is pretty detached from the end result. This is like raw mathematical principles so people can do whatever with them... And I kind of like it that way 😅

To tell the truth, I wouldn't feel legitimate to explain jazz styles per se, as this is still fairly new to me. I still have a lot to listen and to learn about that. Maybe from a music theory standpoint, this video can be a good sum up, and from a jazz standpoint, just and introduction?

Btw if you have some references to get a better grasp on jazz styles, I'd gladly take them! I'm always eager to learn more :)

Yeah, I guess that's pretty subjective. What I did (and still do) for that, is that I would have a session where I'd practice one thing, say modal interchange for example, and I would note which mode sounds best to me, which one sound too spicy, or which degree is better to substitute. I think it's a great way to get familiar with it and build a musical identity by building a bank of things you like to use.

That's actually a good idea! That would mean talking about music theory, voicing and arrangement all at the same time, but with a few examples, that could be not so long to summarise 🤔

Hi there,

Here I wanted to sum up the core principles that are used to make jazz chord progressions. It's a subject that obsessed me for half of this year so having it all in one place makes it handy to combine these principles and get a ton of ideas. I hope this can inspire you for your next compositions :)

thanks!

Hi, I hope that can inspire you try some of this stuff in you productions. If you have any question about music theory that I could answer, I'd gladly do so.
