    When you made the mistake at the G major key change I questioned everything I knew about music theory; until you corrected it of course lol

    Hey Jeff, I really like your videos. Straight, to the point, and very easy to follow. Just wanted to let you know you're doin' RUclips right!

    Excellent breakdown. A lot of this stuff most people may know BUT it's how you condense it and 'spoonfeed' it to us makes your clips very informative!

    Very well done. Totally makes sense. If I had this in my youth I would have jumped ahead at a much quicker pace. Keep on with your teaching. You have a good talent for it.

    It's amazing how you manage to explain that all in so clear and simple manner! Cool, mate!

    Hi Jeff. I just stumbled on your video. You're so right! My jazz teacher turned me on to this secret years ago... Jazz guitarists don't think in terms of single chords; we think in terms of locked blocks of chords! Even to this day, when my band (I play for the GC Swing Band) tosses me a new tune's chart, the first thing I do is dissect it just as you show in this video. I also have "cheat cards" that I carry in my chart case, that I use when our band leader throws us a curve ball and wants us to play a song live that we've never rehearsed. By using this method, I can improvise a guitar part on the spot. Works like a charm. Your videos are golden. Keep up the good work.

    You make a lot of sense that has completely been overlooked in all my years of guitar playing. Thanks

    Thanks for this. I've been playing rock and roll and blues all my life and I'm trying to get a grip on jazz. This really helps me on how chord progressions work. Thanks God bless, rock on.

    I like to think the G7 at the end is just the secondary dominant of the secondary dominant (C7)

    This was a very helpful video Jeff. I'm taking jazz piano and this is one of the important tools that I am learning. I'll check out your other videos to see if they apply to jazz piano as well before subscribing.

    Hey, I really love your videos and your drive to teach, keep on doing what your doing.

    Really great stuff here. The key changes walk up as the 1, 3, 5 and major7 of Ab. Ab, C, Eb, G. That's deceptively simple. The key change to E can just be thought of as the #5 of Ab. This last radical key change leads back to the tonic so that is easy to remember. I like the analysis below that the G to C at the end is really the 2, 5 of F minor, the 6th of Ab as you mentioned. Thanks for clearing a lot of stuff up. I never knew how to diagnose modulation so easily.

    Really great video, and even though a lot of people would consider this nerdy, personally I enjoy it a lot and I think you should have more videos like this. You should have at least a million subscribers with content this good, so hopefully you get there someday.

    Great job here. I think the final G7 C7 can be envisioned as the cycle of fifths leading back to the F7 at the start of the tune, which is part of that cycle.
