Your videos are *excellent*. I've been doing this music lark for more than forty years and yet I'm learning loads. 🙂

Right off the bat, ending on Bb is so great.

Nice Tutorial, Voicings arrangement is so rich and lushy

Super straightforward and practical, thanks a lot! One question: Is there a functional interpretation why variation 5 works? For example, I knew variation 4 as the backdoor ii-V but never knew why it worked ... your explanation as a modulation to Eb made so much sense and was really eye-opening!

Beautiful progressions! 🎵

Well, there is some theory involved, but it's mostly about "monkey see monkey do": you see many examples, repeat them and internalize those you like. Think of it like interior design: When you walk into a beautiful looking room you ask yourself "wow, how did they know how to design it so nicely?" In reality what happens is that the designers simply worked on many rooms and through trial and error learned what works and what doesn't (and also copied other designers ;) ). So, bottom line: There's no "magic", just repetition, imitation and a lot of hard work practicing.

Youll find it easy if you learn the sound and pitch theory, instead of music theory... Pitch theory will teach you about which pitch goes well with what pitch and what kind of sound you'll get with any of the combination like happy, sad, depressing, thrilling etc.

I love this guy for two reasons #1 he knows his music theory and coming from a jazz theory it is very complex, they go higher than other styles of music, he is right. The main thing is in other themes, you play triad chords, like he said, triad meaning 3. In Jazz chords, there could be four chords. I have a question for you Mangold project. I understand the theory and what to play but sometimes it is the finger placement that trips me up. What recommendations to you have to overcome this problem, just keep playing the chords with the right finger movement, until you can do it in your sleep? I also subscribed and you probably heard this before but you have music instructor written all over you man. I had a wonderful professor from Iran who studied classical piano in Vienna. Your calm demeanor reminds me of him. Ladies and gentlemen a teacher with a calm voice can make all the difference in the world. When the teacher is calm, the student will also be calm.

@@MangoldProject You are the man, you have skills and I was able to finally learn all of your theories. It really boils down to that MUSCLE MEMORY, knowing where to position your fingers is SO CRUCIAL. I also like what Beethoven once said, 'To play the wrong note is understandable, to play it without passion is inexcusable." Just as long as you TRY and play it with passion, eventually you are going to get it. I lost track of how many times I had to play Rachmaninoff Piano concerto no 3 to get to the point, that I could play it in my sleep, without the sheet music? It just takes the 3 p's practice, persistence, and patience.. You are a good musician and understand music theory, keep it up. I also love your calm and southing voice, you are very relaxing to listen to.

i ve a privia casio piano. How can I get that tone you have your keyboard. what functions are you using?

By complete coincidence. It's just a simple chord progression. There are probably dozens of songs that sound like it or use a similar progression.

Another question ... glad if anybody could help me out: Why does Ab as a last chord work so well, and why does it resolve to C so satisfyingly? It doesn't make any sense to me in functional terms? (Heard it in Alicia Myers - You Get The Best From Me)

@MangoldProject

2 жыл бұрын

Not everything can be understood functionally. Ab probably fulfills the role of a subdominant, since it leads chromatically into G (which is the dominant). A subdominant resolving to the tonic works, it's just not as "classic" a sound as a dominant resolving to the tonic. However, not everything can or should be understood functionally. Some things CAN be understood functionally, but require you to make such theoretical contortions that you are better off just accepting them as outliers to the theory. The good news is that this means you are at a fortunate position of realizing such outliers exist, which means your mastery of functional harmony is improving to a point where you might outgrow it in the future (which is a good indication of your musical growth). The bad news is that there's no other harmonic framework that explains so many harmonic progressions as functional harmony - it's a cold, lonely theoretical landscape out there. ;)

@@MangoldProject That (unfortunately, lol) makes sense, thank you! However, regarding my example, I just had an epiphany and realized that the Ab is pretty much the Fmin7 that you are playing in your 3rd variation with a different bass note (moving to Ab instead of staying on F makes it a bit more interesting and also leads back to C pretty nicely).

when you play a song and your right hand is playing the melody, you wouldn’t be adding these chords or improvising your right hand. Does this make sense?

I gave a similar answer to another poster below. Music works even if you don't "understand" what you're doing. For example, think of interior design. If you let someone design one home, then another, then another ... at one point they're going to "get the hang of it" and produce pretty nice looking homes. It's true that there's some theory behind interior design - symmetry, how colors complement each other, etc - but people will get better by copying bits from other designs even if they don't know the underlying theory. The truth is, theory comes AFTER the fact, but many many individuals will simply extrapolate from experience. Sure, knowing what functional harmony is would make life easier, but it's not a prerequisite for getting better at playing an instrument.

Really nice lesson, you could have mentioned though, that all these chords substitutions actually work, because they come from the parallel minor. Knowing this, you can easily apply this to other keys as well!
