Bach on Sunday: Chorale 86

Work, with Miles Okazaki ·

2025/10/04

Chorale 86, four voices. I don't make many guarantees, but I do guarantee that if you look at these Chorales with me on Sundays, your sight reading and sense of harmony will improve. It's always worked for every student I've had, including myself. Apologies, the amp volume is a bit low on this one, I'm working out some microphone stuff. Sheet music is attached for download.

Work, with Miles Okazaki ·

2025/10/04

Into the world of sevens. We're starting with 7:4 and comparing it to 7:5 with an old tune of mine. For anybody who'd like to hear the whole tune, it can be found, here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qsiG27UvN_4

Polyrhythm 08: 6 against 5

Work, with Miles Okazaki ·

2025/10/04

On to the number 6. A little discussion about the number itself, and then a couple of exercises to get this one together which is a little tricky because the tempos are close together, creating a phasing effect.

Polyrhythm 07: 3 against 5

Similar exercises to previous vidoes, this time with 5 and 3.

Work, with Miles Okazaki ·

2025/10/04

Happy New Year! Here's how to transform the last polyrhythm excercise into seven new rhythms, based on the modes of the diatonic scale. Hope you enjoy!

Polyrhythm 04: The Rhythmic Major Scale

Work, with Miles Okazaki ·

2025/10/04

Big concept day! I talk about an analogy between 12/8 bell patterns and the diatonic scale. This is one of my favorite ideas. I hope you dig it.

Polyrhythmn 03: three against four with the pick

Work, with Miles Okazaki ·

2025/10/04

This video is similar to the last one, except that I'm using a pick. Some members probably don't use the fingers at all, so I thought this would be useful. Plus, it's a much different sound to try to get two tempos happening at the same time with a pick, very good for articulation and accuracy.

Polyrhythm 02: three and four

Work, with Miles Okazaki ·

2025/05/23

Here's a relatively short (16 min) video on the all-important three against four. I'll be doing a few videos on this particular one, because it is so useful in many musical traditions.

Polyrhythm 01: Duple/Triple

Work, with Miles Okazaki ·

2025/05/23

This has been a requested topic that's a real rabbit hole. So I figured I better get started on it. First a discussion of and then guided practice of the numbers two and three. Range is from very easy to very difficult

Guided Practice: G major pentatonic

Work, with Miles Okazaki ·

2025/05/23

This is a kind of meditation, something that I like to do to get warmed up. I do about half of a session here, 37 minutes. This video is meant to be played along with, rather than watched without an instrument.

Work, with Miles Okazaki ·

Here's an exercise to get you through all modes of all 12 keys in all positions on the guitar (in 20 minutes!). An excellent warmup - you will really feel like you ate your vegetables after this one.

Guided practice - diatonic scales through the keys,...

Work, with Miles Okazaki ·

2025/05/14

Here's an extension of the pentatonics into diatonics, adding the 3rd and 7th degree of each scale. I do this along with singing, in order to hear the root of each scale. To do only the exercise and skip the explanation, go to 22min.

Bach on Sunday: Chorale deep dive

Work, with Miles Okazaki ·

2025/05/14

Here is a fun and illuminating approach to playing a chorale - layering each voice and then trying to analyze and improvise on it. To skip the part where I talk about and layer each voice, go to 11:30. A screenshot of the Chorale is attached, so that you can play along and understand what I'm referring to.

Guided Practice - Pentatonics in 4 keys

Work, with Miles Okazaki ·

2025/05/14

A long guided practice (to skip introductory theory, go to 8:30 in). We work gradually through four changing keys, two strings at a time, until all six strings are covered. Very useful for breaking down the pentatonic shapes into even smaller cells.

Work, with Miles Okazaki ·

2025/05/14

Continuing on the idea of the augmented, here is a guided practice on flowing through pentatonics in three keys separated by major 3rds. There's about 5 minutes of talking and then the exercise begins.

2025/05/14

Answering a member question about augmented triads. I talk about common usage of this sound, as well as some more abstract things. Free to paid and unpaid members.
