Your presentation is informative but humble. I like "I'm here to show you all I KNOW" - a subtle but huge difference from the "everything you need to know" promised by some of these other hyped-up know-it-alls. Acknowledging that the music we love is too much for any single mind to fully grasp and that we are all students. Good job Noah!
Thanks I appreciate the kind words. To be honest, I've probably said everything you need to know before (and I would imagine that most of those who do mean well) but I agree that it's important to be humble and respectful of this music. Like everyone, I have certain strengths and weaknesses and without a doubt, gaps in my knowledge, so I'm always open to learning more and excited for learning from others as well. I certainly do my best to let you all know when there's something I'm unsure of as well. Thanks for your comment and for watching my videos, I appreciate it.
@@NoahKellman yeah I do. I often get people discouraging me from thinking modes when improvising instead telling me about arppegios and pentatonic scales and really emphasising the target notes, do you think that's a good way of approaching soloing, particularly in a Neo Soul / Jazz context?
Complete beginner here. I figured that, if I was going to have a hard time learning the piano, I might as well doing it while listening to something good. I like your sound (and the simple explanations). Watched a thousand neo soul videos before I landed on this one. And also, thanks for the added color keyboard on top. It makes it easier for newbies to follow.
As a man in his now mid 50s and getting back into playing the piano, I am SO so very glad that this video was my introduction to your channel, Noah!! I mean, I guess I typed in "Neo Soul." I mean, Wow!! I'm so excited to practice and learn these progressions!!
Hey Noah, thanks so much for this channel. You've helped me get out of my comfort zone and start learning new techniques and I can't thank you enough. Keep it up, don't know what I'd do without it
As I am a self teached piano and musician learner, I never would have reach your point. Ummm, interesting perspective. I will take it into account from now on. Thanks for taking your time and put it ‘ion paper’. As always you open my mind to new musical ideas. Thank you again
These are great man! I’d love to see a video on keeping track of your key signature in these progressions, and possibly how to transition between some varying key signature progressions. 🙏❤️
@@NoahKellman Moving these voicing around in intervals like thirds. Trying to incorporate them into songs I know. And trying different inversions. For example for that min 11 voicing, inverting the maj add4 triad that is build on the BVII to get a nice effect.
man its so funny that you are saying "this one is cool" etc and meanwhile im almost in tears at how beautiful ur voicings are hahaha. the last one sounds like the music in heaven. thanks for sharing brother
Thank you soo much! Please more of these quick and beautifull technique/voicing changes 🙏🏾 alot of usefull information in this vid! Stay healthy, hope you are doing good Noah.
Hi Noah. Thanks for the videos and the breakdowns. Super impressive. I would like to know what is the name of the software you use that presents that digital piano on your screen
My guy 💪🏾, the help to my Neo-Jazz growth, I appreciate these vids and your ability to teach 🙏🏾✨. I definitely enjoy the content you give. 💯 #Everyday1%better
@@NoahKellman Love it, and getting there!. 13th sus4 has always been a favourite sound of mine. Great that you worked it into these latest Neo Soul progressions - got sidetracked and am learning the first two already haha.
Hey man great work here I learned the first progression and wanted to know if I could use it on one of my beats and actually use it for sync licensing(tv show etc)
This is great! Very Robert Glasperish. I'm trying to memorize these progressions. I was wondering, how do I know which scale I should use to improvise on this?
A-Maz-Ing progressions! So heavenly it seems irreverent for me to learn them. But I'm going to! I'll probably pass out playing them. Thank you Mr Kellerman
Hey Noah, I think that you are THE BEST piano channel on youtube! You know so much more than other piano teachers on youtube and you teach very well! I have a question: I'm aware that you've done a how to play like Oscar Peterson which by the way was REALLY in-depth and amazing to watch! But I was wondering if you could do a video explaining Oscar Peterson's c jam blues night train solo. I have managed to figure out that there is a sequence of 12 bar blues then 4 bar break then 12 bar blues and so on but I would really appreciate a breakdown of his techniques! Thanks
I would love to hear Diz and Bird or Hawk-any of those guys and for sur Pres play on top of these sounds. I am sure they would sound great! I think Braxton Cook is really making some great music with this amalgamation.
Hello Noah. I’ve been following you for a long time, and I’ve bought several music packages from you. Always providing great and fresh ideas on music, jazz and neosoul. Thanks for sharing. One question/doubt from my humble point of view. On progression 5, of course I have steal it for my repertoire, the chord Ab F B E sounds spectacular, but youre naming it Abdim. For me its a kind of Fdim /Ab. What I’m doing at playing is adding after your chord the Ab F B D, with one finger movement, the real Abdim. Thanks for your feedbak. Carlos
Hey Carlos, thanks for the comment and the support! Good question. If you think about F and Ab diminished 7 chords, they actually share the same exact notes (F, Ab, B and D). I could see the argument for tons of specificity to actually call it Fdim(maj7) / Ab, for example, which would include the E in there! But for me, I feel the overall sound/tonality of the chord is Ab diminished because it shares so much with F anyway. So, maybe that's not a perfect theoretical answer, but that's how I think of it anyway! Perhaps a theoretician can weigh in here too if they see this conversation. For me though, calling it Abº7 makes sense, even though I'm playing an E instead of D. Does that all make sense?
Hello Carlos, when I was young, I was cofused with this kind of voicing (and the naming). But the I figured out simple rule. Dim chord = whole tone/ half tone scale. So E is an extension of the diminished chord. Play Ab dim7 in left hand, then add G dim7 in the right. Hope it helps. Brazilian guitar players use a lot of this (like Ab F B E, from the bottom). They call it Adim7 b13

Those progressions are beautiful bro. The second one reminds me of Glasper's playing
Thanks, Kabelo! Appreciate the comment. Do you have any questions about anything I can help with?

The second example does have some Robert Glasper inspired by
