Funny how handy KZread videos have become an essential tool to get people through college courses. Just because someone is a college professor, doesn’t make them a good teacher

This is so pretty. It really makes Cmaj7 come alive!

Hi Rick, I really enjoy your videos. A lot of what I learned at Berklee kind of went over my head and checking out your videos clarifies a lot of the things I learned but didn't completely digest ! Thank you so much and much love to you and the family

You mentioned my 2 fave pianists. And of course lots of other pianists. ( i My pianos name is OSCAR!! My late DAD💔 & l always listened to jazz & classical. I’ve been listening to them since l was an embryo! I miss my DAD💔 something shocking. It’s not the same without him. But, l’ll never stop playing the music we loved. At least he got to see me at a smaller venue at the Opera House in Sydney. ‘Stella by Starlight’. Out of the THOUSANDS ( no joke) of records he left to me. My Grandpa told me he’d save up & buy records as a little boy, no toys, And l have his 78s & a truly AMAZING sound system. See ya soon PA. 💔✨👊🏾❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

Professor Beato each of your videos is so eye opening and simple in your presentations but yet are so rich in content and information that I can't believe someone with your level of education and expertise with a no nonsense approach is even sharing this on the Internet with us...Thank you and May God bless you & your loved ones this New Year for all your hard work..

Fantastic lesson. I've been studying and playing jazz for 26 years and I have has many teachers along the way. You are the first who has explained this to me in a very simple and clear way without any feeling of "mystery" behind it. Straight and to the point with no fluff. Thanks so much. I am a new subscriber for sure.

Mr Beato, You are the main man. I cannot tell you enough how much I’ve enjoyed your very informative and entertaining videos. Please keep up the good work my friend. Many moons ago (1997) when I was studying at the Academy of Contemporary Music in Zurich 🇨🇭 my Guitar tutor Stephen Magnusson (Melbourne 🇦🇺) advised me on buying the book The Advancing Guitarist from Mick Goodrick. What took me days and weeks to study, learn and utilize back then, can now been explained in a 20 minute video from people like you. I have been now a professional Guitar tutor since 20 years but I continue to learn and be inspired from the likes of yourself.

Rick this is the clearest video on drop voicings I've seen. A picture is worth a thousand words. The best. I have to do some honey dos and I woodwork. I have a lot of projects. Also I'm using Duo to limprove my Spanish. So yeah with repairing the cars etc. I still plan to watch this again today.

Great lesson. I can just say that you have the best lessons that are not just only theroy lessons so every lesson can instantly start to practicaly be used in composing,playing ect.

Excellent explanation of drop voicings and demonstrations of them on the piano. Thanks Rick!

i was really hoping you'd show the drop voicings on guitar as well. that mapping from piano keyboard to guitar fretboard is very valuable to me.

Everything you publish is freaking amazing.

Fantastic lesson! You really made it so clear. thank you... just what I was looking for.

great vid explaining these terms...lots of vids make this more confusing (or seem just plain wrong in their definition). Jens Larson has some great vids working with actual guitar chord shapes on the first 4 strings (for drop 2 voicings). Thanks Rick!!

I love that you mentioned dropping inversions! That’s so cool

Hi Rick! I'm a drummer, music producer and engineer here in Caracas, Venezuela. First, I want to express how much I enjoy your videos, I think they are great and you explain all your subjects very well. I hadn't seen this particular one and I think it is great too but I have to point, even though it may be a little out of time, that the example on a melody using drop 2 & 4 was played incorrectly because you kept the 4th voice in your right thumb and forgot to play the 3rd voice. Anyways, mi intention is only to make a constructive remark so your videos are even better. Have a great time!!

best explanation. Thank you so much!

I love this program. Thank you so much!! Your children are marvelous too!!!

Thanks for this lesson. I can't find anyone else on KZread who can concisely explain the concept.

Thank you Rick, for your fine and allways friendly explained lessons

please keep on doing those videos ! I love them

Hi Rick very clear explanation, thank you, but in 6´27" you did it wrong, you maintained the original 4 voice playing insted the 3 voice when you did the drop 2+4, if I can figure it is just because your explanation about how it works has been amazing great. Thanks a lot

I play by ear your lessons have helped me tremendously thanks 🙏

The best lesson ever! Thank you so much.

Good job. Very clear and easy to understand.

Thanks for this Rick. Even though i use these,i now understand what they are. Classical guitar players are not taught, these as drop voicings.

Jens larsen and your channel is amazing for learning jazz harmony

Eye opening as always!

Thanks so much Rick. This is very valuable to me I understood clearly and this will be very helpful when I can master it in all keys.

This is definitely the clearest video I've seen regarding drop voicings. I was getting confused about drop-2 inversions and seeing these chord charts showing examples of drop-2s and thinking, "How is that an inversion of the drop-2 voicing from before?" Realizing now, if I'm not mistaken, that you drop from the closed voicing and the closed voicing's inversions to get inversions of the drop chords. So, drop-2 of root position: 1 3 5 7 would be 5 1 3 7. Drop-2 of the 1st inversion: 3 5 7 1 would be 7 3 5 1 Drop-2 of 2nd inversion: 5 7 1 3 would be 1 5 7 3 And drop-2 of 3rd inversion: 7 1 3 5 would be 3 7 1 5. I thought previously drop-2 inversion would simply be inversions of the original drop-2 from root position. So, 1 3 5 7 drop-2 would be 5 1 3 7. And the inversion of that would be 1 3 7 5, 3 7 5 1, & 7 5 1 3. Now, if I missed something or am way off on my "epiphany", someone please correct me. Lol

Thank you for explaining that !

This was super helpful, thank you!

Cool! Thank You!

Thank you Rick

I was new to this concept And this video really helped me.

third channel i've watched a video on drop voicings from; third explanation i've gotten. each 'instructor' has a completely different definition of what a 'drop 2' chord is. GDI

Well said dos gos!

I've been enjoying your film composer analysis series. I understand that your discussion is extemporaneous. May I suggest that you try some other string patches for your demonstrations? The long tails sometimes blur the harmonic movement. It would also help to be able to capture the feeling of staccato and marcato (not to mention pizzicato and tremolo) passage work so often heard in the music of composers like Herrmann and Stravinsky. Occasionally, you fall into saying phrases like "and then that comes in" without clarifying what "that" is. This lesson does clarify the use of spread clusters, min(maj)7th chords, and augmented. I also heard quite a few ostinato figures that were important in the compositional construction. This is the first time I've seen such a forum in KZread, and it is appreciated that you take the time and effort to put these together.

Hi Steve, I believe you are commenting on the wrong video because this is about drop voicings. Haha! I understand that you are probably talking about the Herrmann video? The only way to show how these piece work together is to demonstrate the separate parts. To program them would take much longer and I actually work as a music producer for a living. I really appreciate that you realize that my discussion is extemporaneous. I just play what I hear. That is also the idea that i am trying to get over to the viewer. Listen and play. I am trying to figure out what some good libraries to buy are and I also don't have the best setup since my control room is used everyday to produce bands and solo artists. I hope to grow my channel in the next few months so that I can devote more time to my videos. I need to put an updated computer rig in my control room dedicated to my videos so that I can access the latest sounds and libraries. Thanks for your thoughtful comment.

2:55 My god that is simply beautiful sound.

White keys make life so easy!..Great video Rick! I'll have to share this with my students.

Hey Rick, this is by far the best and clearest explanation of drop voicings I've every seen- and I've really looked around for quite a while. Thanks a lot.

Great lesson!!

Amazing video - please if you answer this , I wuold be very happy ; p - The drop chords are always based on 4 way close? Or could I just use any other form of building the chords and take the second voice to bottom and I could call it drop 2? Thank you!

Thank you!!!

awesome!

Thank you!

this is such a good video

Thank you rick this is the best explanation for drop voicings. Is there a way to use drop voicings in different styles of music?

Gracias !!!!

thank you

I would like to ask that what do these voicings do in music making? Because in the beginning i thought i was just inversions of the major 7th chord, but according the harmony theory, G can only be the base when it is an arpeggio 64, which the drop 2 voicing is and it sounds a little bit like dominant chord which is a bit ambiguous for the chord quality. Then I saw you use it as a parallel movement so I am wondering how these voicings should be used. I wonder if it is just the spacing of the chord where there would be a bass instrument for the root note.

Damn, this video is so good.

Excuse me, when you played the drop 2 & 4 voicing at 6:27, you omitted the 3rd voice (which is E) and doubled the 4th voice (which is the root-C) in your right hand. Was it just oversight or deliberate?

Hi could anyone help me with this two questions. What's the difference between Cmaj7/G and a Cmaj7 drop 2? And one more, I never seen it said "drop 2" on the score. Do I have to figure it out my self or is it a symbol for it that I've missed? (I am a guitarplayer. I know the difference on the piano)

Not all inversions are drop voicings. You can have an inversion as long as the note in the bass is not the root of the chord. However, drop voicings are specifically open voiced chords, with the octave displacement of the notes you choose. Inversions can be open or closed

I am only a beginner trying to orchestrate for church music, would you use these voicing for "Calls to Worship" or Anthems?

This may sound like a dumb question but if you change the voicing does it change the bass note. Or is the new lowest note the bass note.

Do the original chords have to start in the root non-inverted form to use the same drop voicing terminology?

@JustinMasayda

5 жыл бұрын

Nope, Rick explains at 7:20 that you can voice each inversion of the chord as a drop voicing.

How would one apply this theory to further chord extensions? In the case of a maj13(#11), for example, would I just count the 13th as "1" and count down?

I’d like some clarification on this too

Hey Rick, little unrelated, but when i play 2nd inversion triads on the guitar, especially if there is a high gain or distorted sound, sometimes i can almost hear the root note an octave below the one I'm playing. Why is this? Does it have something to do with overtones "adding up" to make this root note that I'm not even playing?

@marktyler3381

6 жыл бұрын

Could be because of Tartini tones. An interval of a 5th can create the illusion of an note being played an octave down from the 1st. Sounds crazy, I know, but check it out. Some sax players sing a 5th tp the note they're playing to get this effect. That wouldn't work on 2nd invertion ie GCE, but it might on broken chords i.e. CGE.

What would you do with the bass in these voicings ? Does the dropped voice become the bass ? Thanks

Moksha It doesn't have to. Any note in the chord can be the bass it just depends on where you are in the progression.

Rick I didnt understand one thing. If you are playing Cmajor7 drop 2, you drop the G. But you play G as the bass note? And you play it with the left hand and the rest of the chord with the right hand? Thanks :)

@hendrix5757

5 жыл бұрын

The 'dropped' notes are always being taken down by an octave. So G being the 2nd highest tone and a 5th above the root (C), dropping it by an octave puts it a perfect 4th below the root, essentially making it the new root note. As far as how the notes are typically distributed on a keyboard, I'd imagine the left hand becomes particularly necessary when dealing with drop 2 + 4 voicings which essentially takes the lowest (root) note and the 2 tone down an octave, increasing the spread between the root + 5th, and the rest. However, it seems to me that once the inversion and drop voicing is figured out, you're free to spread the notes however you feel sounds best...

Soooooo, then would "LEAN ON ME" by Bill Withers, be an example of this drop voicing technique?!!? Hiya Rick!!!! I think I can name others that fall into the "drop voicing" technique of writing and recording, especially those that are not done in arpeggios, such as "L.O.M." Bill seemed to use this technique quite a bit, or maybe I am just hearing it wrong?? As always, Thank you for your help and support on music driven endeavors!!!! ANYWAY, KEEP ON KEEPING ON BROTHER ROCKER, ENGINEER, GUITAR PLAYER, DRUMMER, PRODUCER, WRITER, EDUCATOR, AND ALL AROUND GOOD GUY!!!!!!!!!! PEACE !!!!!!!!!!🤘🏼

Would a drop vocing be considered a inversion too??

6:24 the diatonic drop 2 & 4 I think you dropped the E from the right hand instead of the C? I could be wrong - I'm a (bad) guitarist :D Anyway, great lesson - thank you!

I wnt to know about the inversion u did in the end didint understand tht part.. cn u explain in more better

it's funny because in my composition I've done this just to give variety, but now I know it's called something! lol

Hey thanks again for this! Just a question, what is the difference between this notation and the 1st, 2nd, 3rd inversion of classical harmony? and also, why didn't they use 1,3,5,7 for the chord tones? 1,2,3,4 from high to low seems really backwards!

@RickBeato

I know it's backwards but that is how the concept works.

@jaivarsa

6 жыл бұрын

I know this is an old question, but I will reply on behalf of anyone else who sees it. The only difference is that inversion only refers to which note goes in the bass, and this refers to a particular voicing. For the 4-way close there are four inversions: 1357, 3571, 5713 and 7135. For each of those you can construct a drop 2 voicing: 5137, 7351, 1573 and 3715. Or a drop 3 voicing: 3157, 5371, 7513 and 1735. Now, if you play guitar you will know the two basic ways of playing a CMaj7 chord: With the root in the 5th string it's played like this: x-3-5-4-5-x which is C-G-B-E, that is 1573, the drop 2 voicing constructed from the second inversion of the 4-way close. And with the root in the 6th string it's played like this: 8-x-9-9-8-x which is C-B-E-G, that is 1735, the drop 3 voicing constructed from the third inversion of the 4-way close. But both of those chords have the root in the bass, so they are in root position although the voicings are different. And since the 4-way close has four forms (root and three inversions), there are four drop-2 voicings, four drop-3 voicings etc. Clear as mud?

@@RickBeato Ok. everybody knows that it works this way. It's clear. The question is WHY Why these voices are numbered from the top? It makes it much easier to number them from the bottom and if you rise the second voice octave up, you get exactly the same set of voicings. So there must be some important reason why peeps do it the harder way. I'm looking for the answer for quite a long time and it seems that nobody knows. Do you have any idea why is it like that?

Rick at 2:01: "...so from the top, you drop it down an octave" My brain: *from the top, make it dr-*

Wow.

I play country guitar and my teacher mentioned these voicings, but im wondering if they're useful as a country player?

Why are the voices numbered from top to bottom? Especially since we generally spell chords from bottom to top.

I'm not a keyboard player (and barely even a guitarist), but is this what Lyle Mays is using on Ozark?
