Dude I’m such a sucker for #11 chords. They just never fails to evoke a moody mysterious, introspective feeling that I find so powerful. Anything with that 7/11 shape in the right hand just hits different.

On jazz jam sessions, ending the song with a ♯11 gets you a penalty flag for clichés :)

Major 7th and 9th chords are what do it for me. Though probably because the first weird chord I ever learned was a 9th chord from that one John Mayer song.

Great video. I'm a newbie in the music theory world so I can't really grasp 80 percent of what's going on, but the slow pace, the focus and the cool vibe of the whole thing is super inductive to learning ❤ Thanks a lot mate for making those vids!

Man your videos are so high quality, informative and easy to understand

Hi Jaron, it's a new level of your videos, so cool!

This video is way more impressive than it needs to be. You went crazy on the editing and scene introductions

Stellar video!! Thanks for explaining 🙌

So musical and so clearly explained - thanks!

I will listen to some of you vids over and over. This is the music i listen to and finally someone explains it well. Mad props

This is great. Well done!

Really nice work, I’ve been looking for this kind of explanation since a long time, the way you managed to put it out is very on point congratulation !!

Fantastic video, super informative yet super accessible, but also I just love your visual gags and the way you deliver your lines lol. Just great stuff

love the whole tone of this video.. intriguing, informative, calming & a little subtle humour.. masterful stuff

Great vid, many thanks. Good blend of what you might play, and why.

That video was insanely good. I dig the sounds!

dude you are amazing, loved it!!! thank you so much for this video !!!!!!!!

Thanks for the videos, bro. You’ve quickly become one of the most informative channels I’ve found. Great stuff.

i really appreciate these videos bro

this video is insanely insightful and inspiring thank you sir!!! please make more

I stumbled across this video, and now I’m a subscriber… thank you for clarifying scales and scale modes for me…. I’m about to binge your channel and practice. Thank you again 🙏🏾 I truly appreciate your content

Thanks a lot for this. Great explanation!

Masterful tutorial. So well laid out and structured. Thank you Jaron

Great lesson! Amazing visuals and explanations. Your charts and animations were so perfectly executed. Thank you!

I love your videos. Thank you man.

such a sick video. super helpful. thank u!

The articulation in your videos are a Wow! 💕... Credits 👏👍💚

Astonishing video -- the substance is super useful and well explained, and the form is extremely cool. Congratulations and thank you for sharing!

Hi, just wanted to say i ve been subscribed for a bit and this just Hits the Spot. The Edition is perfectly Suited for my attention span and i find the content so engaging that i m sitting on my piano playin along and vibing

So dope. so well explained. so much theory I am understanding because of this.

Thank you for this, this has to be one of my favourite tutorials I've seen on the Tube

You’re really spilling the tea, super encouraging that you came as a recommendation on my feed. I don’t have a KZread channel but I’m a full-time teacher. The fact that people can access this continent for free is insane

The ‘sitcom’, neighbor opens door and “this is the power…”. Perfect. Subscribed. The split screen made by ADD brain lock in. As a guitarist, non-reader (gasp) who lives with odd tunings I heard AND learned what I lean towards melodically. Your even , intentional delivery is great. Only suggestion‽. Make more videos. Thanks for some rare, quality work.

You way of explaining the theory here is so so so good. Thank you! The penny is starting to drop for me on modes thanks to your videos :)

Thank you for all that you do. You are very appreciated and I hope you see this. Stay well

All of it, amazing!

haven’t even finished the video, i am subscribed and i have notifications on, bro SOLID stuff. This is exactly what i need.

thank you! this is so informative and very much helpful for my project! and how your look vibes so cool dayammmmm

Loved the video. Detailed and clear. Enjoyed the video as well. Please make more. Have subscribed

Wow. Sounds amazing!

bro great content man, really inspiring, keep it up

thanks man! This is one the best theory videos ive watched

Great video, very well made!

First time I see one of your videos. Hands down. Subscribed.

Amazing content, keep going 🙏🏼💎

the tone of your piano

I think imma love this channel I newly found!! Music Theory meets your favorite clothing shop type of music! love this!

Make more chords videos! It’s really helpful I really struggle with making those types of harmonies. Could you maybe make a video focusing on song structure and different ways to make it more dynamic by changing progression or other aspects

this video is done so well

insane videodude, keep it up!

very underrated content, exactly what people need

nice man love ur content

you're amazing, I'm sh*t at music theory, but you manage to explain this in a way that even I can understand, thank u

Again, really like your explanation of all of these theories, it's kind of like a mind fk, just amazing.

Just started to folloW you! I really enjoy your work! thank you for this channel

This sounds so much like Gran Turismo's golden era menu music. And this is a huge compliment, it was one of the most elegant soundtracks available out there.

Amazing video, more in this series please.

Hi ..I really enjoyed this presentation ..been working with the key of B flat and struggling but happily struggling ..this pres clarified a lot for me. Thanks good information 👍🎵🏅

incredible video !! i dont really understand a whole lot of theory and while i do implement it within my tracks im not using it to its full potential. this was really well thought out and easy to understand, great stuff

Commenting so I can watch this later in the studio

Sick keyboard, sick editing, sick way of explaining

love that content .

You're good at explaining this stuff

Great video

Thanks 🙏

Amazing Bob James vibe

amazing. the snoring throughout the video had me on edge tho..

Top man ❤

I'm not really good at music theory, so when you said B flat minor 11 I tried making that chord from just the name. managed to that. then saw how you inverted the chord and moved the root note an octave down to function as a bass note. seeing how easy it was to use this technique to create other chords I wrote a little progression and started a short looped beat. crazy how one single chord can inspire so much

Omg I’ve learned so much holy shit

I really love this series and hope that you continue it. I think this is an understudied or at least undercommunicated aspect of music theory and I think mastering it would really unlock the range of musical expression I currently compose with. I love the way you break down your decision making and explain why you made choices the way you did. It helps teach patterns of thought rather than formulas. Ultimately as musicians we need to learn our own judgement and watching others illuminate their thought processes teaches us how to refine our own judgement. I do have a specific question that could perhaps inspire the next video for this series: How did you decide to start with Bbmin11 and Amaj7#11? A naive listing of every chord tone here would be: Bb, Db, F + Ab, C, Eb; A, C#, E, G# + D# If we erase the upper extensions (since there is largely infinite freedom for how we want to color the top ends of chords), we are left with a Bbmin and Amaj palette to start with: Bb, Db, F, A, C# (Same pitch Db but replacing a different scale degree), E. When I look at this I don't see an obvious tonal center guided by a diatonic interpretation (I believe this is the whole point!). Indeed the clash in interpretation of the C# in the A chord and the interpretation of the Db in the Bbmin chord practically demand that there is no sensible diatonic interpretation here. So if there is no diatonic way to understand these chords together, I'm wondering if there is another framework for choosing two chords that "work" together (for some alternative definition of work). Or is it that you can almost always make *any* two chords work as long as they share enough common tones to glue them together? I've often heard in jazz contexts that you can really make any chords work together by massaging them properly, and I feel like maybe the secret to the massaging was revealed in this video with the common tone gluing, and moving the clashing tones out of the way. Would love for you to explore some of the structure for why these chords work well together, and maybe do a video of "pushing it too far" where we can see you test the limits of nondiatonic chord combos. Absolutely stellar channel, I feel like no other content on the web I've ever seen has taken such complex subjects of music theory and presented them in a way that makes it accessible. Thank you.

Super interesting content. One thing that gets me is how going from the B flat to the A major or the F# chord at the beginning of this spiel, sounds and feels to me as if we’re going ‘lower’, as if we’re going from a sharp to a ‘less sharp’ key. And the importance of the bass note-. Wondering how you would analyse a Dirty Loops song with one of it’s mad fusion harmonies in it…. Loved this vid, thnx for it 🙏
