AVOID AVOIDING THE AVOID NOTES

AVOID NOTES? What're those? Well, don’t be afraid, because these apparently ‘forbidden’ notes are not dangerous at all - on the contrary.

In this NewJazz Lesson we’ll walk through some of the most commonly declared AVOID NOTES - and one by one I’ll show you how they are all COLORFUL, THRILLING and UNAVOIDABLE. Avoid notes give contrast and characteristics to jazz music.

We’ll also play ‘forbidden’ JAZZ CHORD PROGRESSIONS. And by the very end of this lesson I’ll show you a fascinating thrilling SUPER JAZZ CHORD that contains lots of avoid notes. This Jazz lesson will be an exciting and fun musical journey for sure…
