Blues Jazz
what do you need to know in order to play Jazz/ blues ?
Like what types of scales , pentatonic ?
what type of chords do jazz and blues players use , 7 ths ?
I need advice .
Jazz, especially bebop, uses the Locrian scale a lot. (like a natural minor scale with a lowered 2nd and 5th). C Locrian scale would be
C Db Eb F Gb Ab Bb C
Blues uses the blues scale, which is more complicated to explain so I'll just type out a C blues scale and you can transpose it if you want. Basically it's scale degrees: 1, flat 3, 4, sharp 4, 5, flat 7, 8.
C Eb F Gb G Bb C
Play that on an instrument and just play around with that scale, and you can improvise all you want on it and sound good.
-------------
As far as chords, they use a lot of major 7 chords (like a major chord with a major 3rd on top of it, ex: C E G B would be a C Maj 7 chord). They also like to add scale degree 9 (technically the same as scale degree 2), often substituting it for scale degree 1. And the bottom answerer is right, they do like to use 11 and 13's too. They love stuff like that.
Try playing a C in your left hand on a piano down low, then with your right hand an octave higher play (all together) D E G B. Sounds jazzy.
-------
Another thing-- jazz players hardly ever read sheet music like it is. They always improvise and play around with it, or just make it up completely.
--------
Hope that helps you!
