I'm not sure it is exactly how you wanted it, but I definately already got something out of it. The change from the first part to the second part (C#m B A B vs. E G#m F#m G#m) is quite evident. But I geuss this is also a matter of changing modes. I've kept the melody line playing the same, but changed the chords to the reharmonized ones. In the last part both sets of chords are played underneath the melody line. I chose to reharmonize C#m with E, because of the start note of E and resting note of G#. Those two prominent notes in the melody line are in both chords. Had I chosen A, there would have been a clash between the G# in the melody line and the A chord. In the next bar I chose to reharmonize B with G#m because of the resting note B which is in both chords. This note is not in the vii chord and therefore I felt G#m was the better choice. In the next bar I have reharmonized A with C#m because of the note C#. I could have also chosen F#m. The note C# is in both F#m and C#m, but to me C#m felt more natural as C# is the root of the chord. In the same bar we move on to a resting note B. I have chosen G#m here, as the note B is not in Ebminb5 (though there are two b's in the name ). It's really the same in the 3-4 next bars, except the melody changes, but the landing notes are the same. I don't see any reason to explain that.

But go for it, Pedja. I'll find the time! By the way... what would the term for "re-mode-ifying" be? Like... If you have a certain melody and chord progression and you within a song change that from let's just say aeolian to phrygian? You are at GuitarMasterClass.net Don't miss today's free lick.

I have never used it before though. I'm not sure how one would go about pulling it off smoothly. You are at GuitarMasterClass.net Don't miss today's free lick.

Listen to Coltrane, he loves to start on one pitch and do voice leading from it, just altering the rest of the notes to fit the mode that supports chord.

I like melodies that are simple and minimalistic, which only progress in slight changes such as key or modes You are at GuitarMasterClass.net Don't miss today's free lick.

He didn't play minimalistic though Well if you think about melodic ideas, they were simple but all grouped together at fast tempos so it sounded like really long flowing lines on sax.

Sep 11 2009, 08:14 PM	Learning Rock Star Posts: 7.676 Joined: 14-June 08 From: Odense, Denmark	Another thing that has always trouble me is how to incorporate lots of chords as is seen in Giant Steps as an example. We have both E7, F#7, Fmaj7 and lots of other chords which are very "close" to eachother and note related in terms of being in the same key. I've always had trouble writing like that without having it sound weird. What I meant with minimalistic though was that one can create simple melody lines and keep them interesting through changing mode, key etc. and still keeping the "same" melody.

Sep 11 2009, 08:23 PM	Instructor Posts: 8.109 Joined: 13-September 08 From: Nis, Serbia	Well its all about common notes between chords or voice leading. In Jazz music you will find great examples of voice leading, sequences, repetition, quotations etc. So once you understand how they do it in Harmony, all you have to do is sit down and practice these things melodically. This is what Coltrane did, he read tons of books on reharmonizing and chord progressions, even classical harmonies, and took 3 tonic system, practiced it like mad, started improvising over simple II V I superimposing with 3 tonic system, and then eventually that became his thing! Today everybody knows who John Coltrane is and jazz musicians all around world are thankful to revolution he brought to jazz music You are at GuitarMasterClass.net Don't miss today's free lick.

Sep 11 2009, 08:32 PM	Learning Rock Star Posts: 7.676 Joined: 14-June 08 From: Odense, Denmark	Yeah, of course. So basically you are saying that, of course, it will sound less "awkward" (but still jazz-y) to have two chords from seperate keys in the same chord progression if they have a leading note between them? Quite obvious actually. Funny thing actually... when I first started out writing my own songs, I would always make sure that chord following the previous chord in the chord progression shared at least 1 note with the previous chord. Always staying in a certain key though. So... from Em I had the choice of going to G, Bm etc. maybe even Dsus2 or other such chords. Hehehe.

Sep 11 2009, 08:41 PM	Learning Rock Star Posts: 7.676 Joined: 14-June 08 From: Odense, Denmark	I have never actually analyzed my own songs or looked at how I approached it when writing them. But I've definately already caught on to some ideas (even though I may have used them before, but haven't been aware of it) for when composing. I'll pay more attention to re-harmonization in the future for sure. Another thing I've recently found myself inspired by is just looking at some old Beethoven and Mozart books I have. They have a lot of transcribed concertos etc., and some of the runs and harmonies are quite interesting. I've sent you Prologue before, and the arpeggios that start at bar 74 are kinda inspired by some of those books. You are at GuitarMasterClass.net Don't miss today's free lick.

I decided not to record anything for my own collab for now, but maybe make an SI lesson out of it some day. What would you suggest that I focus on in my comments?

What would you suggest that I focus on in my comments? Melodic approach/build up Technique Timing What more? Hey Ben, You could use sound, phrasing/rhythm placement, melodic approach, development, intro and ending for example. I would like you to take same song (from Titanic) and try to use secondary dominant chords wherever possible! This would mean dominant chords approaching target chord. So if you have F# minor as target chord, try to use C#7. Keep in mind that melody should sound diatonic to secondary dominant chord. Experiment, do it in guitar pro and post your work in this thread!
