Excellent advice. Develop finger memory.

Excellent, clear presentation. Very nicely done lesson.

We need a tutorial on these chord progressions that includes your embellishments and the scale (theory) behind them...sounds amazing as usual !

I used to be really lost as to where to start learning the beautiful melodies and chord progressions I hear in Bill Evans's music and Oscar Peterson's songs. And you really simplified it down so now I have a great starting point even for guitar! It's lovely and it's so helpful! Thank you so much! I am going to be always indebted to you for this!

As a guitarist who is interested in learning to play piano the examples played in context are very helpful. Thanks! I also came up with some voicings which have quite comfortable (natural) movement. Left hand plays the Root and b7, right hand the 9, b3 &5 for a minor 9 chord. Then change the left hand bottom note up a P4th and the other note down a 1/2 step to get the root and 3rd of the next chord...keeping the right hand notes in place gives you a dominant 13 (or 6/9) with the 5th on top. So many possibilities by changing a couple of notes, and much more to explore. This stuff is great fun...thanks again!!!

Yes, actually I think this resonates with guitarists well, because string players are good at thinking in shapes! And really for these types of chords you have to think in shapes not just theory and piano teaching culture is often too academic.

Thanks Tom 🙏

Love these Carole king chords! ❤❤

You are very good professional

That’s like a signature Carole King sounding type of thing - the minor 7th with the 7th in the bass lowered down a semi tone to the dominant chord- cool video 👍🏻

Hello dear Tom, I am so grateful for your suggestions and exact explanations. As a result of it, I have now also come out by considering which chord connections fit well with each other. e.g. I have seen, for example, when I play a BMaj9 I only have to change the basic tone to d to get to Dmin 7. Unfortunately, the whole thing is so exciting that I never get to combine the chords with a rhythmic pattern. I want to say that I always deal too much with which chords sound good one after the other. Again and again I come across new exciting topics that keep me from doing rhythm exercises. Who is doing this here like me? 😅 kind regarding Rosalie ❤

Fantastic lesson, Tom!

Great question. Yes these chords can work very well in the left hand providing that they are not played too low on the piano (keeping to the middle register and avoiding anything too far below the C below middle C). Coupled with right hand blues and arpeggios this sounds great and makes useful practice.

Try the following sequence, Cm7 - F9 - Dm7 - G9, Em7 - A9, Ebm7 - Ab9, Dm7 - G9, Cm7 - F9 A good song example might be "Satin Doll" by Duke Ellington. Great chords that fit with this principle.

Is there any jazz song that (at times) uses a basic triad? Or it that simply non existent in jazz?

@contemporaryschoolofpiano

Жыл бұрын

This is such a good question. The short answer is, no. Jazz harmony operates on a level of 7ths and above (no basic triads) a way to see this is that major/minor/dominate 7ths operates in jazz harmony in a somewhat similar way as major and minor does in classical music.

@@contemporaryschoolofpiano I don't see the relevance of dating apps to this discussion. Everyone's time is limited, especially those who practice several hours a day. There are hundreds of tutorials online, and I suspect I'm not alone in preferring compact presentations that get to the point quickly and have useful examples that live up to the title's promise. If by the 7th minute I haven't yet seen a single "advanced chord" advertised in the headline, well, it's not for me. Feel free to ignore my comment if you think there is nothing to learn from it. Incidentally, "advanced chords" would seem to imply that it is useful for advanced players. It may be that one problem among others is false advertising. The part I watched was very elementary.

​@@sheilamacdougal4874 I agree, that fast presentation is certainly the more commercial mainstream approach. Onto your other point about the video, an education specialist has to clearly define "What are Advanced chords" based on most students' experiences. Most people might not have your experience in music, so if you find that 13th, 9th, and 11th harmonies are elementary, thats obviously a sign of your experience. For the majority of the population learning jazz piano that's not their view or experience. For the sake of them being given the opportunity to play these advanced harmonies, I define for the purpose of this video, that these are advanced harmonies. But I hope that clarifies my point. Best of luck with your music. If you'd like to check out something more advanced, you can watch my Art of Improvisation Documentary: We do cover far more advanced harmonic progressions all the way into serialism and bitonality, which you can enquire about via our website. Here is the Art of Improv documentary for some more sophisticated approaches to piano improvisation including Fugue Improvisation. I hope this helps. kzread.info/dash/bejne/ZmV9pbFqia-noLw.html
