Once you understand this chord structure, your piano playing will never be the same. It's used commonly in both Jazz and Neo Soul, but you'll really hear it used in an absolutely gorgeous way in modern Neo Soul-Inspired tracks that cross genres as well. A really important part of this sound is the dim(maj7) chord, i.e. a diminished triad with a major 7. The structure comes down to being built like a block chord, but with a major 7 instead of a 6. Use this over any melody or chord progression for a modern sound. Enjoy this jazz and Neo Soul piano tutorial with Noah Kellman.

    This is a PERFECT, MUSIC THEORY and MUSIC PRODUCTION video! Your demonstration of the chords quickly provided a memorable method of remembering the structure of chords period and allows the composer the flexibility of discovering other chord structures without ANY previous knowledge of them! As a music theory educator myself, thanks for creating a great video worthy of being shared without having to reinvent the wheel! I heard of many of the chords before, but now looking to use a specific chord type won’t be as necessary as knowing how to find the most pleasing chord within any given scenario! Thanks again and congratulations! 🎉😎⛽️🌋💎🧨☀️🏆🎯✈️

    Thought I'd add, there is one other voicing that is really easy to remember and move around. Try 1-7-1-3-5. LH 1-7. RH 1-3-5. Drop the 7 to a b7 and the 3 to b3 and you now have a min7. Very simple to remember as well.

    Noah, your vids are always informative. Thanks for posting! How did you go about getting all two-handed rootless voicings "under your fingers" so they were second nature? Did you do any particular drills or did you just plunk down each isolated chord voicing and memorize it? Because, as you know, smooth comping relies on the relation of one voicing to every other voicing. So, sometimes I'll have a nice voicing for one chord and then have to think a bit of how to move to the next chord smoothly and effortlessly. For some reason, it takes me longer to see something like a B9#11 than, say, a G9#11. I know that for many musicians, some keys are harder than others. Did you ever have any particular difficulty voicing in different keys?

    Thanks for explaining this - I always wondered why things were spelled different ways - like b5 versus #11...so, I know there is "quartal" and "quintal" harmony...I get that. Even though fourths can be thought of as just inversions as the same notes in fifths ...so, why can't I find any info on sextile harmony, which are of course just thirds in different inversions? If there is some better term I should search under please let me know - I really like the mysterious ambiguous quality of sixths.
