"Just two chords" est une méthodologie des plus pédagogiques pour approcher un peu les techniques du jazz, même si la compréhension du rythme reste lointaine pour moi. Merci pour vos enseignements et bravo pour votre musique qui arrive en même temps à raconter une histoire.
I only found you about a week or two ago. You're very good at this and I like your style a lot. Your tutorials are simple, quick and effective. There's something nice about the length of your videos too; it feels as though because it's only 5 minutes long, that I could actually complete it and master the material. It's sometimes depressing if a video is so long that it's like standing at the bottom of a mountain, looking up. I now have three favourites for piano tutorials on the whole of RUclips; You, Johnny May and Oliver Prehn. Of all, your playing style is the one I want to develop most. :-)
I like how naturally alive this sounds! Would love to see some chord exercises from you for those of us still getting their head around the various chords and the circle of fifths.
Are you thinking about inversions for the two specific chords I played, or are you looking for a more general approach to understanding and practicing inversions across various chords?
@@loungepiano I was thinking about a general approach to some easy chord exercises that helped you get your level. Like chord with your right, move up the key with your left, vice versa. They can be sorta hard to get the hang of initially, your hand feels arthritic getting the right keys pressed and getting your hand placed in the right positions is hard. Thanks for your consideration!
For me this is a G7-Chord - the dominant - of the C-Major-Chord without the root G and with a minor 9 the A-flat: (G) B D F Ab in another inversion: D F Ab B. This dominant-chord is the tension in the story because of the two tritones. Finally the B leads to C, the F to E and the Ab to the G of the C-Chord in halftone-steps
@@alibiath35 Agreed. Diminished chords are really dominant chords hiding in plain sight. So the G altered scale would work over this chord, to add some variety. I've learned both of these concepts in just the last several months, and they've been fun to play around with.
I believe that thinking of the melody first often leads to more interesting chords, while thinking of the chords first tends to inspire more interesting melodies. Keep in mind that "interesting" can sometimes mean "bad-sounding," but that's how you learn and grow, of course.
Don't forget: Music is storytelling with exciting dialogues! Thank you for the video that reminds me of this important fact
Happy you liked it!

I appreciate your nice words 🙏
Awesome, adding more drama with dissonance it's something I need to practice. Recently I've been trying to remember how to use suspensions
Yes, it can be really enjoyable to practise. Let me know how it goes!
Really liking these simple quick tutorials, something I can take and start playing with right away. Thank you!
You're welcome! Happy you find them useful.

Really cool tutorial, thanks for the tip!
No problem!
Great video. Thank you.
But the second chord is B dim7.
Ddim7=Bdim7=Abdim7=Fdim7

What is the software you use to show the notes you play? Much appreciated!
It's called ChordieApp
Great Video.
For Café Jazz Piano is the chord progression or melody more improannt for sound?

@@loungepiano understood.
also wow your english is great you got your point across in fewer words then native speakers would use.
