Just bought your new course. You put a lot of work into this and I admire that for someone who is working to become a better pianist. Thank you very much for the videos and God bless!!
Great video! If you don't mind, I have a small question referring to the scales: How do you know which scale to play, if you only know the chord? The other way around aka. finding fitting chords for a certain scale is easy, but finding a scale (especially when going into the Jazz-like direction) is much harder for me and usually ends up having 2-3 wrong notes in it.
My question was knowing which scales to choose and why use them for specific chords. Dorian for any minor chords, Lydian for any 4 chords, and altered for any dominant chord
the more technical reason is that the 5th shares many overtones with the root. so if the root is played, the 5th isn't really adding anything new, so omitting opens up space for extensions. also, chords may be played rootless, if the bass instrument is playing the root, which again creates space for another extra note or extension. this is why the root & 5th are so common in basslines. they share many overtones & omitting from the upper voices, allows for 2nds, 4ths, 6ths, altered extensions, etc. to be used. the bass will define the chord & the upper voices are free to play pretty much whatever. hope this explains more in-depth for you & anyone else who may read this.

Thanks man! I really appreciate that and I'm so glad you're enjoying the new course. Keep up the practice!
Wait, at 2:19 isn't Ab the 7th? not A? If we're talking in the major key, that would make sense to me...

Same here
Thanks for all nice videos simon. And I really like the Altered A major 7 . I’ll be happy if you share exercises like that in your next videos
Thanks
What key are we in?
If you release a MIDI pack, I'll buy it.
Can i play Am chord in 1st octave and c in second octave?
Amazing
Can i play am chord in left and dm in right side?
I mean Am in one 1st Oxtave And Dm In second octave?
Is it correct
practice?
Wow. So how did the realm of music practicioners figure out that all these runs sound good together despite the fact of being in different modes?
i think it's just because it sounds good to the ear, and allows expression of feelings
@@mr.fantasee truth is simple, at its best, I say yes to that reply, it makes perfect sense.
why does he omit the fifth when he plays the seventh as a chord? wouldnt that be something like Dm7omit5?
The fifth is the least necessary member of the chord, it can be omitted at any time pretty much
@@scottrockhold7869 i see thank you

this is why the root & 5th are so common in basslines. they share many overtones & omitting from the upper voices, allows for 2nds, 4ths, 6ths, altered extensions, etc. to be used. the bass will define the chord & the upper voices are free to play pretty much whatever.

How did you determine those specific scales for each chord?
Modal theory, watch Danthecomposers 30 minute video on it. He explains how each 7th chord relates to different modes
@@zachr9544 which one?
because they sound good together haha
Please... I would like an exercise to separate the senses and an exercise for the left hand, if possible, and I would be grateful
Just play shell voicings with the left hand. Or even root notes. You want all of your focus to be in the right hand for these exercises
@@Piano_Pig Thank you for the answer
Bravo 🎉 although it’s little bit different to me ❤😂
