Stella By Starlight - 6 ways to Harmonize a minor II V I

The Minor II V I is a difficult progression to have options for. In this video I am going to demonstrate 6 variations of Stella by Starlight Guitar chord melody options that you can use on this song and on other Minor II V I options. It should help you get some different ways to approach the minor II V I and not play the same things all thet time. The examples are going from the original and I also made one with Coltrane Changes, so there is a bit of Jazz history in there as well! Most of the examples you can easily use on many minor II V I cadences, and some are a little more specific but can still give you some ideas for a way of working on your own arrangements and reharmonizations. If you know one I didn't talk about then please leave a comment! 0:00 Intro 1:25 #1 Original Changes of Victor Young 1:42 Analysis - The Original harmony and the dim chord! 3:18 Finding great harmony by NOT thinking in Chords 5:17 #2 The Real Book Changes 5:57 Analysis 7:01 #3 Eø Natural 9th 7:26 Analysis 8:30 F7 as a Lydian Dominant - Why It Works 9:11 #4 Phrygian Dominant 9:26 Analysis - What is a Phrygian Dom7th 11:15 #5 Major II V Cadence 11:33 Analysis - A great trick also for solos! 13:38 An Extra Level of Hancock in this version 14:13 #6 Coltrane Changes 14:30 Analysis 15:57 #7 Coltrane Changes 2.0 - a more musical approach? 16:44 What is your favourite Reharmonization for this song? 17:10 Like the video?
