Thanks so much for the lesson. RUclips is getting to the point where there is SOME top quality instructional material available, and Fede, this includes you. I'll be back for more. Gracias!
Thank you my friend, this is pure gold. I play guitar but I plan to get into piano this summer and your lessons already gave me a huge headstart. Cheers.
I guess my simple question is, what determines your choice of extensions in the 3 part chord melody system? You play nice flats and sharps on the 9th, 11th, 7th, 13th extensions but how do you determine which one to use?
Dear Sir, your tutorials has helped me a lot in applying some musical theory I already knew. I have also learnt new things. God bless you so much. I want to ask a simple question which I don't seem to find an answer on the internet. In playing 3 part chord melody, how do i determine the chord extensions between the base and the melody? I know about 9ths, 13ths , 11ths, b9, #9 etc but do not understand when to use what. I think knowing their functionality will help. All I read is that it is about color of the chords and the mood we want to create but I will be glad if you can share more light on it . thanks
Great videos sir.... Pls can you do a tutorial on how to major scale modes in improving.. How to use leaps to make it sound advanced and cool.... Thank you
hola me han gustado todo los vídeos he aprendido mucho gracias por dedicarle tiempo quisiera q me explicaras como utilizó las tensión en las canciones y progresiones grasias
+Ricardo Andres Muchas gracias por tu apreciación Ricardo. Ahi he cargado un video que habla del uso de notas prestadas para enriquecer las progresiones armónicas, espero que te sirva. ruclips.net/video/EsjA0GgdOss/видео.html
Very good.I appreciate your videos very much. But,the right one would not be Am7b5 - D7b9#11 - Gmaj9 instead of Am7b5 - Db7b9#11 - Gmaj9.Excelente suas aulas,gosto muito.Grato.Brasil.
How come you don't include the B in the Chord Symbol iim7b5(add 9?) Why was it left out and what is its function? Thank you for posting :) Also. is it wise to use 2 tritones? Won't that create too much dissonance? Edit: Can you please explain the B in the second chord also? You don't use the B6/D7 @ 8:06 that you explained earlier. I'm a bit confused. Can you please explain why you use the B? Thank you!
I'm TERRIBLE at math! And just being awful at reading was a big reason I never was able to get into theory. I was always way technically better at actually playing the chords than knowing what the names of what I was playing were. Even though I *understand* what makes up a Minor 13-add 9 or whatever you want, in my mind the only things that make sense are the sounds. I've always been excellent at playing things by ear-learning even very complicated chords (Waltz for Debby/Bill Evans) just by listening to them and picking out the notes on the piano (doesn't mean I can play them well!). So I have an advanced ear, but it doesn't get me far when it comes to your mathematical approach. Seeing as how I'm too old-59-to go back to the drawing board and relearn theory for the fiftieth time, how do you suggest I can still improve my playing as far as non-technical jazz playing on the piano goes? (I'm also a guitarist. Probably a better guitar player than a pianist). BTW your easy-to-see video setup is easily the best I've seen on RUclips. Congratulations!
I love this video but I don't understand intellectually (the maths) behind the scale runs from one chord to another. In one instant it's referred to as a diminished scale and then later as a chromatic run down. I need the formula for this so I can get it right every time. If someone could answer this for me I'd be very grateful.
I think he means he's descending down the minor scale but also flattening the fifth. At 3:25 he starts at Dm7b5 and then proceeds to hit all the keys in that scale. He does the same thing in all the other minor 7's. In simpler terms: Starting at 3:28 notice (with the chord) he hits C. Which would be the 1 descending. And then he proceeds down the Dm7b5 scale. Which means (if you're ascending) you flatten the third and fifth key. If you're descending which he does in this video then you would flatten the fourth and sixth key. So basically just go down in whole notes but flatten the fourth and sixth. When you get to the Dominant7b9#11 CHORD. You descend in whole notes but flatten the third and fifth key you hit(with the chord being the 1.) Hope this helps.
By "flatten" I mean perform a half-step instead of a whole. I don't mean actually flatten a particular note. Sorry if that was confusing. I'm also counting the chord as the 1. So as he's descending you would count your first whole note as 2.

+David Gerber Thanks David for those nice words of encouragement!
Great tutorial! Very well presented and very useful. I like the way you stress the importance of "do the math in your head" - perfect!
+Lot2learn Thank you!
I'm your greatest admirer!
Your Advanced Pentatonics course is awesome!
+InsidePiano Video Tutorials Thank you! Your channel is awesome - now I am your fan!
great tutorials. one of the YT sources that shows what to appropriate do with the left hand. very helpful. please dont stop uploading these!
Thank you my friend, this is pure gold. I play guitar but I plan to get into piano this summer and your lessons already gave me a huge headstart. Cheers.
Fede, thank you very much for your efforts to create a channel on "how to" play piano for voicing chords, harmonizing melodies, and jazz piano.
Love these videos! wish I found them sooner...
A great exercise! Thanks you!
Oh, so beautiful! Thank you for a great lesson sir! I have subscribed to your channel.
This changes everything!!! thank you
You are awsome i am so glad to have seen ur vids.God bless u in Jesus name.Youve helped lots.Thank you

ELLIOTT 4 EVER thank you very much for your input.

it needs a chord to round it off so you can play it back. One that is slightly higher than the last chord.
Thanks for the tips. But please, speak slower - you have a lot of italian accent which makes it difficult to understand you sometimes. Grazie mille!
