The Saddest Chord Change 😥
Музыка
This is an incredible beautiful chord change, which is not common in Jazz chord progressions. It is borrowing from minor in a major key, but it is not a minor subdominant, which is what you hear all the time in Jazz and pop music.
What do you find the saddest chord change? 😍

My name is Jens Larsen, Danish Jazz Guitarist, and Educator. The videos on this channel will help you explore and enjoy Jazz. Some of it is how to play jazz guitar, but other videos are more on Music Theory like Jazz Chords or advice on how to practice and learn Jazz, on guitar or any other instrument.
The videos are mostly jazz guitar lessons, but also music theory, analysis of songs and videos on jazz guitars.

I'm not that educated in music theory but i like jazz and I'm able to play many jazz/bossanova chords. I think the change between the 2nd chord and the 3rd chord of "love is a losing game" by Amy Winehouse it's so nostalgic and melancholic while having a little bit of hope when it resolves into Dmaj7 and I love it.

Dm -Bb-Am-A-Dm. If you don't recognize it, I will give you a hint. It is in D minor, the saddest of all keys.

Personally I think just the standard iimin7b5 to V7#5 to imin7 with great voicings is still the king of all sad and "moving" chord changes...just my opinion. Still does it for me everytime 🤷♂️

Interesting. A 1-5-6-4 progression…
it sounds more dreamy to me than sad. For some reason this chord change reminded me of the electronic artist "casino vs japan".
Major seventh chords are so sad 😢

@jordi.nermal You're welcome. I've played for 53 years, taught successfully for 25 and NEVER used tab. It's a trap. 'Shortcuts' are the longest distance between two points. Best wishes :)
I love the progressions. The beginning reminded me of a song.
Yes Cmaj7/G - Fm6(9). Or let the minor3rd and the 9 swap places to make a F6sus(#9) for more desperation. Now it resolves more into Abmay7 but also now the Fm7(9) wants the 7 in the bass.
This shorts are great!! thanks a lot for the progression

@@JensLarsen - I agree. “The Wreck of the Edmund Fitzgerald” comes to mind as using it, even if Asus2 tonic can “clarified” as an Am or an A. (Try it. You can.) Gordon Lightfoot used that a lot. A v chord is also a relative minor to a VII chord, which is common in American folk and blues - and made its way to rock. I’ve heard it often in many European traditions as well, but I’m not well versed in those.
I'm so happy that I found your KZread channel!

Great that you like the videos!
It’s in the song Julia by John Lennon. Longingly beautiful and melancholy.
I felt ok at the CM7, sad at the Gm7. I recovered slightly at the AbM7. The Fm7(9) is the AbM7 with an F tone - so it is cleverly disguised - as if the AbM7 was 'pre-conditioning our ear.' My brain hurts now. Nice progression, you can do a lot with it. I never even cried !

In my opinion, it's a bit cliché but the saddest is Cmaj7 - Fm6 add9
using a Gm9/Bb ( rootless shell chord ) instead of the Gm7 could be a little smoother sounding moving to the Abmaj7.
@JensLarsen

Yes, but I find the effect of Cmaj7 to Gm7 a lot stronger than Cmaj7 Bbmaj7 (but of course that is a matter of taste)

Hi, I love these jazz chords progressions you show,, do you have youtube a channel I can see these and save them?
Go from the one to the minor 3rd twice then play the major 4th then borrow the minor 4th, very sad chord progression
Reverb and delay here are Just gorgeous. What effects do you use ?

Thank you! I made this using two plugins, RAUM from native instruments is a reverb plugin and then a Crystal delay effect in my Fractal Audio FM3.

reminds me of the outro to dirge for november by opeth
The G-7, Abmaj7 and F-7 absolutely are subdominant minor chords here.
Absolute foreign language to me, but I love it.
Sounds like a Steely Dan progression.
Imaj7 to IVmaj7, that's it
how do i get a mellow sound like that?

Turn up the mids, turn down the rest
This is pretty. Is there a functional explanation for what the AbM7 is doing here and why it sounds so good? It's the bVI of CM. Is that a common chord to use and is it a substitute for something else. I think it's borrowed from Cmin, right?
@kevindonnelly761

The AbM7 is borrowed from the C (Parallel) minor. It is spelt: Ab, C, Eb, G. CM7 is spelt: C, E, G, B. The tones C and G are common to both chords. The tones Ab and Eb in AbM7 are a semitone Above and below (respectively) G and E of CM7 - that means they sound like they're pulling / resolving toward them. It's a nice example of tension and resolution. Harmony in Music can tell an oblique story.
