Wow man you explained everything I was missing from watching other RUclipsrs! Your explanations are easy to follow, and you really fill in gaps others fail to explain. Thank you!!!! I liked and subscribed
This is the perfect follow-up video to Nico's reharm lesson earlier in the week, because it follows all of the same stuff as it goes up the levels, starting with inversions, voice leading, and then extensions.
Levels 4 and 5 really helped me - 4 was easy to understand but something I’ve still been nervous to integrate into my playing, and 5 helped break down something I’ve been really intimidated by into a nice first step
One thing worth noting about Stage 5: by lowering the 9th on the V chord, you bring the key you're in temporarily into the harmonic minor (C Major has no sharps or flats, C minor has Eb Ab and Bb, and harmonic C minor has Eb Ab and raised the Bb to a natural). By keeping in mind the 6th and 7th notes, you can duck in and out from Major to Minor and back, which helps when trying to find the right amount of tension in your chord progression.
Thank you so much, Kevin. Its always a great pleadure to watch your videos. You and Lisa are the reasons why im still playing keyboard. Thanks so much ❤
Great explanation, thanks for the video :) forever amazed out how both simple and complex musical theory is. I'm at level - Understand the theory right up to 5 but I would say skill wise somewhere between 2 and 3. Excited to put some focus time in on these concepts to improve that!
Professor, thank you for this rich demonstration. I'd like to know what software you use to display the colors of the notes when you play the piano keys. Please..!!!
Mr Jazz Man can you answer this question for me ! I’ve asked many people but unfortunately never had a reply even from the person who stated it ‘ where do you sit at the piano 🎹! I used to sit at Middle C But have discovered this is not the center of the key bed ? The center is EF to prove this do a chromatic scale from bottom and top and you meet at EF thanks it defers from the video at but my bad 😊
Mr Jazz Man here!! Yes, middle C is actually not the “middle” of the piano. You are correct in saying that! Sitting at the piano can depend on the range that you are playing in. If you are playing an accompaniment that uses chords below middle C - you may want to consider sitting slightly to the left of the keyboard. If you are playing solo piano melodies higher on the piano, the center may actually be better for you! Remember that having a piano bench is recommended so you can slide up and down the bench as needed! - Kevin C (Mr Jazz Man)
You can absolutely play a 9 chord with an inversion and play all 5 notes. That would be considered a “cluster” chord. Maybe something for Level 6 🤔. As an intro to 9 chords, Kevin likes to play rootless voicings.
@@PianoteOfficial Ah, cool! I thought it was not recommended for whatever reason, since he didnt mention it, but good to know it is also "a thing" :) Thanks for the reply!

I was able to understand this.... Amazing.. I did have to be fully engaged and paying attention. Thanks for the lesson. Art - Beginner ..
Brilliant lesson, Kevin. Super-informative and easy to follow ... Thank you!
A great teacher. Would love to see more classes by him.

Amazing class! Thank you 🙏🏾🎼🎶🎵 🎹
This is spectacular. I am also learning guitar chords and this theory is helping me immensely.
Amazing lesson bro
Awesome mate🎉
🙌🙌🙌
love it❤
Thank you sir
Great lesson. I have accepted and approved of it. I shared it to as many as I can to my friends who may be interested in music.
You're really a great tuutor
Danke!
God bless this channel❤❤

You're a good teacher sir❤🤗🙌
Awesome video!
Good teacher
Excellent lesson! I was this many years old when I figured out that Carlos and Kevin are father and son!!! ;)
I love this channel
I thought level 2 was great but level 3 is just so much better. No jumps and the inversion makes it more appealing to the ears
I liked the 9th chords so much so that now I want to play them despite their complexity and difficulty.
A 2-5-1 chord progression ( aka: ii- V- I) is a common musical convention of these
Maravilhoso!!!!
Sunday morning Rain is falling 😫
Kevin, I'm at level two.
Correct
trying to do the 2 5 1 for each chord from your chord progression, give also a very surprise effect.

@@PianoteOfficial Thanks for the advice appreciated it’s all ways good too resolve something with help ❤️
Wait, how do you know when something is supposed to be minor or major etc?
So do you just keep repeating 251251 to make a jazz song?
I like 2 4 1
I'm trying so hard not to sing "yeeeaa" (ref: sunday morning) for 10 mins every time he hits the last chord
From now on I'll use Dm9 as an insult
😭😭
Why not play the 9 with an inversion, instead of using the left hand?
