  2. Avoid note - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Avoid_note

    In jazz theory, an avoid note is a scale degree which is considered especially dissonant relative to the harmony implied by the root chord, and is thus better avoided. In major-key tonality the avoid note is the fourth diatonic scale step , or 11th, which is a minor ninth above the 3rd of the chord, and thus very harsh. [ 1 ]

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jazz_scale

    An avoid note is a note in a jazz scale that is considered, in jazz theory and practice, too dissonant to be emphasised against the underlying chord, and so is either avoided, used as a passing tone or chromatically altered. [3]

  4. Outside (jazz) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Outside_(jazz)

    The term side-slipping or side-stepping has been used to describe several similar yet distinct methods of playing outside. In one version, one plays only the five "'wrong'" non-scale notes for the given chord and none of the seven scale or three to four chord tones, given that there are twelve notes in the equal tempered scale and heptatonic scales are generally used. [3]

  5. Chord-scale system - Wikipedia

    In contrast, in the chord-scale system, a different scale is used for each chord in the progression (for example mixolydian scales on A, E, and D for chords A 7, E 7, and D 7, respectively). [5] Improvisation approaches may be mixed, such as using "the blues approach" for a section of a progression and using the chord-scale system for the rest. [6]

  7. Jazz harmony - Wikipedia

    As it contains the notes and alterations (I, ♭ 9, m3/ ♯ 9, M3, ♭ 5/ ♯ 11, ♭ 13, m7), it is particularly important in the jazz harmonic idiom, notably as a V chord in a minor key. For our example key of C-minor, the V chord is G7, so the improviser would draw upon the G7 altered scale (mode VII of the A ♭ melodic minor). A complete ...

    Example 1: Below, a common voicing used by jazz pianists is given for the chord C 7 ♯ 9 (C major chord with a minor 7th, and extended with an augmented 9th). In the lower stave the notes E ♮ and B ♭ are given. These form a tritone which defines the dominant sound, and are the major 3rd and minor 7th of the C 7 ♯ 9 chord.
