At 8:44 it looked like you might need some Senokot. I only mention it because the video was great and I don't want the constipation to stop you from playing (although it doesn't seem to impede your playing)...........I think I did hear someone say "When it comes to playing an instrument well you got to get the sh%t lockdown."..........so thanks for the upload.

8:50 Yo, he straight up vibing, I LOVE IT. That passion is what defines a great musician. He's feeling it right there aawyeah

That face you make when you hit a sweet chord, which is ALL OF THEM!!! 💪🏽❤️ You are directly responsible for me learning so much new stuff. Now maybe SOME day I can make that “yeah I know I just played that chord” face someday !

I’ve been a fan since 2005. Jamal is the OG. He is definitely the GOAT 🐐. He even got the grey hairs now. Blessings bro!!!🙏🏾🙏🏾

Thank you for teaching us again we misses the lessons 🙏

disco-funk-soul the very best in Music!

just watching him vibin’ makes me happy

This guy is a legend of this. Have been watching over 10 years probably taught me a quarter of what I know.

add some reverb, check the velocity settings of your midi controller or keyboard, practice slowly and calmly and you can do it too :P It'll sound a lot better as you practice, but a good word of advice is to practice without effects (to train pitch and spot inconsistencies/mistakes easier)

I miss you Jamal. You're really an inspiration to me and a lot of musicians that I know.

i love how much he has playing at 8:35

I almost have this down perfectly, just as soon as I finished growing these extra 4 fingers.

Oh how i wish we had youtube when i was comin’ up ! (late 70s, thru the 80s) 😅 learning to play would have numerous advantages, these young folks are living in an amazing (albeit complicated) time !

Brother I just wanted to say thank you for your submission to God because personally I've been so blessed by it. As a gospel musician myself and now pastor your videos help me not only on a technical level but also spiritual level. Thank you brother. Thank you. God bless you and your family.

man your spirit is something. I enjoy these videos, your hands are gifted brother!

What makes Jamal different from most guys is the Anointing behind the skill Brother your a SPIRITUAL MAN Thank you for the lessons

2:57 This ties in with a lesson Kevin Conley did about infinite chords. He was saying you could just play all the notes in the scale randomly and you'll be able to solo

New to piano I'm 53, and I really enjoyed your lesson, it made more sense to me as I've been learning scales, and know I can see how you are using the notes in the chords in the scale, and it wS like a lightbulb coming on for me, really relaxed and so much fun, hope I've made sense and thankyou great video

Reading all these Positive comments just warms my Heart! We have a great amount of Respect for what You have taught us, and also, for what You have accomplished! Thanks for all that you do for this Community! Much Love, Abrazos!

Ma Man......

I got so tired of the same diatonic chords I was playing. I play stacked chords all the time, but it's all improv and my brain seems to just want to play uninteresting sounding extended major harmonies; sometimes I add a note that changes it up, but then I can't recreate it. It's fun, but the structure isn't what I'm looking for, and it's frustrating when I can't hit the same "cool" chords consistently.. This video helped me so much and it literally changed my harmonic progressions. Practice makes progress! TY!

Love how this suddendly popped up in everyone's recommendation lol

My dude! I grew up watching you play chords on KZread. I was here before the grey hairs. I’m glad to see you still playing. It just goes to show your passion for your craft which is beautiful. I finally have a better understating for piano and can benefit from your videos even more now. Thank you for everything. Keep using your talents to praise the Lord.

Jamal ! so good to see your face on youtube again. Missed your videos. Wish you post most videos w/ Arlene singing on top of your playing. At any rate - all the best to you and god bless.

Bro I hope you understand how tremendous your contribution to music is. So many musicians are where they are because of you. God Bless you man.

Started learning watching Jamal in 2009/10 got a broken keyboard from my god bro just to play the notes with Jamal but couldn’t hear them til I got to church! Thanks for all the years of work!

Man we need more like this!!!!!!!!

Man thats just a beautiful, dense progression.

Seeing a video pop up from you again feels like reconnecting with a friend you haven't seen in a long time.

I love gospel musicians. Insanely talented, yet they come off as just messing around and having a good time. That's what jazz is about.

I’m diggin the Jazz/hip hop concept. Oh, and that’s a stellar piano face.

I wish I could meet this OG. Coz every thing I know about music theory however limited was from watching this guys vids, and that is like 10+ years ago

I respect and admire the talent. Thanks for this.

Glad to see you back Jamal

Aww Jamal Hartwell. Remember back in the days you thought me di tones, tri tones, Minor elevenths the ones you called steroid chords, minor 7ths, circle of 5ths, relative minor trick,. I can picture Jason singing as you demonstrate those chords. That's like some 12 years ago. I love you man. U broadened my piano horizon. I loved the way you rolled over your left hand notes to layer the right hand chords. I held your DVDs dearly then. All I could think of then was to set up my keyz while I watch ur dvd. Thanks for being an inspiration and teacher to me. Yeah I was 17 then and I'm almost 30 now, I can see you getting Greys. Much love maestro ♥

Taking me back to those early “Peanuts” cartoons, w/ Vince Guaraldi - so smooth, lots of diminished, 9th, 11ths and augmented chords, as you say. Just ultimate chill. I’m a noodler aspiring to play piano proper. Thank you for this (and those awesome iOS pianos and synths) 🙏

Extremely Tasty, thanks for the insight on these chords!

The tritons, neo soul chords etc your influence is huge on this generation... much respect Jamal H

I'm glad to hear somebody knowledgeable say that neo soul chords can be all the notes in the scale. I wrote an arrangement where I actually DID NOT use one of the notes from the scale on each chord and then just played with the inversions. FAT chords for days!
