How to do a C Scale Analysis for Chord Voicing

Video Transcript

Now we're going to go over our D flat major scale, and use this scale pattern for all the chords we're going to do today, so you're going to really want to memorize this pattern, if we look at the keyboard, D flat is the bottom note of the group of two block notes, and we have D flat, E flat, F, G flat, A flat, B flat, and C. Now my other video sessions we labeled it one through seven, one, two, three, four, five, six, seven. But when you're looking at making chords, the way it's done is they skip the evens, so you have one, three, five, seven, nine, eleven, thirteen. So that seems a little confusing but what it does is it separates the triad or the basic block chord from these extra voicing notes. The ninth, the eleventh, and the thirteenth. So when I say nine I really mean two, and eleven's really the fourth, and the thirteenth is a six, but they use that in jazz terms, so you know to voice the triad, and say you have a sharp eleven, I go nine, eleven. So I'm going to bring that up a half step. And that's my D flat sharp eleven. So as we go through you'll hear me make references like nine, eleven, thirteen, flat thirteen, and now you know what it is. It's just, we take in the scale, and we went up in only odd numbers. One, three, five, seven, nine, eleven, thirteen. And we'll go more over that in just a few minutes.
