Modal Playing Strategies, Part 2 | John Stowell & Juan Dhas

Looking for an in-depth course covering new vocabulary available for playing over a major chord? Included are harmony references: Lydian, Lydian #9, and augmented-major chords.

John and Juan use the bridge to “Little Sunflower” to demonstrate extensions of basic diatonic harmony in the keys of Eb and D major. In addition to modes of the melodic and harmonic minor that reference harmonic information for major chords, chord inversions and voice-leading are also demonstrated.
