as a guitarist there are just some things that deserve to be played on piano, like moonlight sonata

If anyone is having problems understanding why Ab is used when in C, it's because this lesson is based on borrowing chords from the Phrygian mode. C Phrygian is the 3rd mode of Ab major, so they use C (from the key of C) as a starting point, then use the rest as if we suddenly switched to the key of Ab, playing the rest of the progression with chords that correspond to the harmonized Ab major scale, resolving back to C in the end. So, in the first example, the I IV V vi progression in C would be Cmaj7 Fmaj7 G7 and Amin7. But doing the modal interchange the I IV V vi would now become Cmaj7 Dbmaj7 (the 4th chord, not from C, but from the harmonized Ab major scale) Eb7 (the 5th chord from the harmonized Ab major scale) and finally Fmin7 (the 6th chord from the harmonized Ab major scale). Then it resolves to C. Hope that helps someone.

It's incredible once it clicks! Very practical. Basically, if you know all your roman numerals (I chord, V chord, etc) you just sub everything but the tonic for that same roman numeral in the key of Ab, which is the bVI of C. The tonic's root is still in that key, so even when you're going out, something's in. (....Reading that back, I'm not sure that made any sense lol sorry)

Guys, literally your shorts and videos are the best jazz learning content on YT

Confession: I know I'm supposed to be learning here, but I just love hearing you play.

It’s so funny how I know nothing about music theory and still feel like I’m deeply learning something here😂

Dudes like a music chef that knows exactly how to craft the most tasteful melodies simply by following the basic rules

So basically what is happening.. The progression is I-IV-V-vi-I and Adam says everything goes to Ab but the tonic. Means now we will play C and rest of the chords means (4-5-6 chords) in the key of Ab which gives us Db-Eb-Fm and then we land back to C major.. you can use the same concept for the rest of the progressions in this video. And since this is Ab (C becomes Phrygian mode) so now if you want to explore you can change the mode of C to maybe C Dorian and now you are in the key if Bb. You can try the same chord progression and now they will be C - Eb - F - Gm - C. This is wildly subtle yet the concept just went under my radar.. one of the most beautiful lessons.. Thank you Adam and Open studio ❤

Make it a song please Was so good to my ears

Any Major Scale exists in Phrygian by inverting the distanes between maj scale. Therefore C and Ab are related through intervallic distances. (C Phyrgian stems from Ab Maj)

That chord melody you play over the top of Bm7 in the second example is just fuckin killer. So is the updated bass for the substituted chord progression each time

Thank you for this!
