JLTP 034: Major Scale Modes for Jazz Improvisation

Listen Later

In this episode of The Jeff Lewis Trumpet Podcast, I talk about how using major scale modes to improvise can be an easy way to navigate through many different chord types.

In this episode you will learn;

  • What the seven major scale modes are
  • An easy way to remember all seven modes
  • How to apply the major scale modes to multiple types of chords
  • Why using modes to improvise is an easy way to start “playing the changes” like a pro

    • Items mentioned in this podcast;

    “The Jazz Theory Book” by Mark Levine (the best jazz theory book in my opinion)


    Use my YouTube backing track for all 12 minor seven chords and start improvising today.
