Cheers for the Video clip! Forgive me for the intrusion, I would love your thoughts. Have you ever tried - Riddleagan Smart Hands Remedy (Sure I saw it on Google)? It is a smashing one off guide for learning piano fast minus the normal expense. Ive heard some amazing things about it and my m8 at last got excellent results with it.
Nice Video clip! Forgive me for butting in, I would love your thoughts. Have you considered - Riddleagan Smart Hands Remedy (search on google)? It is a great one of a kind product for learning piano fast minus the headache. Ive heard some pretty good things about it and my best friend Jordan finally got astronomical results with it.
I can’t express how grateful I am for these videos you make accessible for us! I can’t believe it’s free. I come from a country where jazz is not a kind of music people listen to a lot, and there’s really not many musicians out here teaching, so I have to self learn. And since I’m classically trained musician, I have no idea where to begin with. I guess I’ll just watch all of your videos till i learn something I’m not ashamed to play. Cheers!!!
this is fabulous. i’ve been searching the internet for the past 2 days for a simple explanation that doesn’t just consist of the pianist showing off for 10 mins and assuming the viewer is an expert. thank you SO much
I searched over six videos before coming across this immaculate explanation. You are my friend, answered my question in less than two minutes and 37 seconds. Thank you so much
Watching this video, I realised how important it is to have someone who knows what they're talking. I'm marking this video as my intro into playing jazz. thank you
I understand chord construction and the stacking of thirds etc. but I just learned other pretty simple harmonic concepts that have escaped me (a lifelong self-taught guitar/mandolin player) for decades. This tutorial just underscores my appreciation for RUclips music teachers who so graciously and skillfully impart their wisdom, information that for so long was the purview of expensive lessons and formal music education beyond the ken of ordinary, not particularly gifted musicians like me. So thank you!
I’ve been playing guitar for around 8 years now. I have a decent grasp of extended chords. But I’ve only dabbled in piano. Took a couple semesters. I love jazz and am hoping to learn all the jazzy chords and take the knowledge to guitar. It’s a whole new world

despite being classically trained and fluent in theory, i've never really been able to understand the keyboard voicings for "jazz" chords. you've just dispelled the mystery in under 20 minutes. thank you :)
I understand you and that's my same background. Classically trained violinist (orchestra, quartet and all the etc) but I've always been fluent in piano. I've learned piano by myself starting with chords and chord symbols. Once you "get" how to do 7ths (m & M) you're "down the hill."
brilliant explanation ... I´m a jazz drummer and I decided to learn how to make 7th, 9th, 11th and 13th jazz chords.... I started a week ago and I understood the system of C7, D7, E7 .. then Cmaj7, Dmaj7 .... now I get 9th, 11th and 13th ...... SOOOOO HAAAPPPPYYYY !!!!!!!! thanks million times for it
I've got to say, i'm not even a piano player, but i'm trying to learn a bit more theory so I've been watching these videos and applying them to guitar and my overall theory knowledge, and these are fantastic and so easy to listen to. Lovely playing, cheers!
+David Purvis Thanks for the comment David. I do try to talk in terms of scale degrees so i would image all of the voicings are easy to transfer onto the guitar. All the best, PianoGroove
I have been looking for this for years, it's like it's been hiding from me and I found it all in here. thank you. You are clear and to the point. this will move me ahead this is the kind of thing that people need.
Wow. This video is a gold mine. I've been playing for 30 years about and this was a missing piece that I knew but I didn't if you know what I mean. I think this video just upped my piano game.
Brilliant, just what I'm needing - interesting chords and a way to assimilate them. It's great that you don't take prisoners when explaining the theory. I find your accent really easy to listen to as well (I'm from Lincolnshire, how about you?).
I got into Jazz Piano because I wanted to know how play these kind of chords that were in my Jazz Guitar books underneath the musical examples on the accompanying CDs. Now I just play Jazz Piano and the guitar's gathering dust!
This is so helpful! Thank you. Being new to piano and theory, I just want to make sure I’m not missing something. At 12:03, he meant “circle of fifths,” right?
Very interresting! tritonic substitutions work with chords 13th equivalent chords 7 #9#5 So you may play B13 to substitute a F7 or F#13 to play C7 #9#5. You may play also Gm7 F#13/ Fm7 E13 instead of Gm7 C7/Fm7 Bb7 before to go to a Eb. For a blues, Db13 (on the 4th time) C13 (on the "and")/ F#13 F13 etc...
It took me sometime to find you on RUclips, but really this is what I need and missed with others. You are a great teachter and know to find the balance between theory and practice. Thanks a lot. Hans Blom Netherlands
One of my favorites is the C9 chord that has E natural and G flat, and I use that at the end of my "done playing" coda whenever I finish up playing piano. I do like the idea of that spicier version with the A and Bb, though. Might see how that sounds implemented into the sequence.
jazzy hords make me so happy! i always end up finding them by accident when im playing something, but i'll give these exercises a try, so i could play them on purpose next time ;D +sub
thank you for all the lessons i just found your channel its great . is that a program showing the keys you are playing with their names or this is an editing trick ?
Just came across this channel. You are truly inspiring and helpful! While I was looking at 11ths and 13ths I was like "The heck is that". Well... thanks for helping me understand 13ths :D.
Preparing for Abrsm grade 8 theory and chord extension of 9, 11 and 13, I came across with this video. Didnt know that it’s also commonly used for Jazz. 😅 All of a sudden, I feel I became to know a lot more about Jazz music and chords! Thanks! I wonder if napolitan and 3 kinds of augmented 6th chords are also frequently used for jazz music? 🤔
If you do not know how to play the extended "-m11" or "11" chords however you only now the Cm11/C11 chords. Try to remember these patterns (2,3,2,3,2) for (m11) or (3,2,2,3,2) for (11) (2,3,2,3,2) each number in the pattern is representing how many semitones there are in between the notes that you are playing. f.ex: C - Eb (C *-Db-* *D* - Eb). You can see that there are two notes between C to Eb. D and Db, therefore, the (2) is in the pattern. Same can be said for (3). Eb - G (Eb - *E* - *F* - *Gb*- G). E, F and Gb are the three notes in between Eb and G. By executing this pattern you ALWAYS have to start on the root note of what chord you are playing F.eks; Bm11, pretty self-explanatory, you start on the note B. Let us try the D-note as a root note for this scenario. Let us kick in the pattern (2 3 2 3 2) D-F-A-C-E-G And if we look upon the internet; it says that Dm11 contains the notes; D-F-A-C-E-G Let us try a different chord quality, an (11) extended-chord. F.ex: C11. We modulate the pattern a bit, so we are left with the pattern (3,2,2,3,2). Let us try to execute it. Root note we start with is A in this scenario (3 2 2 3 2) A-Db-E-G-B-D. And what do you know, the chord A11 contains the notes A, Db, E, G, B. Your welcome!
First of all great video! But I have a question...if you have a chord that has the notes C, Eb, G, Bb, and then directly the 11th, that is, F without the 9th wouldn't that be Cm7(add11)??? Alsoo what does it mean when a number is added in the bracket, for example, Am7(b13)???

Amen to that! There’s nothing that annoys me more than a video about music with a five minute comment before we get to hear a single note.

Been watching a few videos explaining chord extensions on piano and this is by far the best. I keep coming back
a million thanks to this tutorial and your channel. Amazing!
You take a complex topic and simplify it. Genius. Thank you.
I’m so grateful that I found your video! 9th, 11th, and 13 finally make sense! Can’t wait to watch more of your videos.
Oh my gosh! This makes so much more sense! I'm trying to learn chords, and this is perfect. Thank you!
You light up my world with the magical music videos!
When this man plays, I begin dreaming right away.
Großartig. Äußerst hilfreich. Vielen herzlichen Dank für dieses tolle Video. Thank you so much.
Great lesson. It's clear as can be . You're an excellent teacher.
Outstanding overview still after many years! Thank you.
Thanks so much I've been looking for an explanation that really made sense so forming extended chords would not be so stressful.
This was really helpful. There is so much inspiration in my mind when going through those chords in the circle of 5ths(4ths but you know what I mean)
Brilliant, just what I'm needing - interesting chords and a way to assimilate them. It's great that you don't take prisoners when explaining the theory. I find your accent really easy to listen to as well (I'm from Lincolnshire, how about you?).

Great video. Thank you for taking time to break down the basics in a very comprehensive manner.
Thank you. This finally makes more sense to me.
This is a great lesson. I'm a guitar player this has opened my ears to something fantastic 👏 👏 👏 👏
Thank you so very, very much for this piano theory video. You are a great instructor
Thank you for sharing and teaching us. Your tutorials methodically and thoroughly are done.
Finally! I understood. Thank you
Great lesson! Well explained and well illustrated!
You’re an amazing teacher 🧑🏫 thanks ❤️
thanks!
This is so helpful! Thank you. Being new to piano and theory, I just want to make sure I’m not missing something. At 12:03, he meant “circle of fifths,” right?
this make me clear on building extension chords, very useful
thanks!
Very interresting! tritonic substitutions work with chords 13th equivalent chords 7 #9#5
So you may play B13 to substitute a F7 or F#13 to play C7 #9#5.
You may play also Gm7 F#13/ Fm7 E13 instead of Gm7 C7/Fm7 Bb7 before to go to a Eb.
For a blues, Db13 (on the 4th time) C13 (on the "and")/ F#13 F13 etc...
Love the notation based learning. Superb lesson mate, really well explained

Fantastic teaching.

+Arthur Kagondo Great stuff.... plenty more to come to take your playing even further :-) PianoGroove
Will join in a few days
Kind of convenient how Cm11 is a Bbmaj, a Gm7, and an Ebmaj7 all at once.
Rootless voicings?
Just came across this channel. You are truly inspiring and helpful! While I was looking at 11ths and 13ths I was like "The heck is that". Well... thanks for helping me understand 13ths :D.
Thanks man - glad you found it useful. Lots more lessons over at www.pianogroove.com/jazz-piano-lessons

If you do not know how to play the extended "-m11" or "11" chords however you only now the Cm11/C11 chords.
Try to remember these patterns (2,3,2,3,2) for (m11) or (3,2,2,3,2) for (11)
(2,3,2,3,2)
each number in the pattern is representing how many semitones there are in between the notes that you are playing.
f.ex: C - Eb (C *-Db-* *D* - Eb). You can see that there are two notes between C to Eb. D and Db, therefore, the (2) is in the pattern. Same can be said for (3). Eb - G (Eb - *E* - *F* - *Gb*- G). E, F and Gb are the three notes in between Eb and G.
By executing this pattern you ALWAYS have to start on the root note of what chord you are playing F.eks; Bm11, pretty self-explanatory, you start on the note B. Let us try the D-note as a root note for this scenario.
Let us kick in the pattern
(2 3 2 3 2)
D-F-A-C-E-G And if we look upon the internet; it says that Dm11 contains the notes; D-F-A-C-E-G
Let us try a different chord quality, an (11) extended-chord. F.ex: C11. We modulate the pattern a bit, so we are left with the pattern (3,2,2,3,2). Let us try to execute it.
Root note we start with is A in this scenario
(3 2 2 3 2)
A-Db-E-G-B-D. And what do you know, the chord A11 contains the notes A, Db, E, G, B.
Your welcome!
So useful thank you!!!
Thanks heaps for such a fun and informative lesson!
Sweet video! i like your teaching style
Lovely! Thanks for the video :)
Love jazz chords
What a great lesson. Wow
+TileRight Tiler Thanks man glad you enjoyed it! :-) PianoGroove
First of all great video! But I have a question...if you have a chord that has the notes C, Eb, G, Bb, and then directly the 11th, that is, F without the 9th wouldn't that be Cm7(add11)??? Alsoo what does it mean when a number is added in the bracket, for example, Am7(b13)???
Great tutorial! very good info.Thxs.
Thanks a lot. Helpful lesson.
Thanks man!!! Ur a legend! This is so informative
Keep up the great work!!!
Love this video
so much value thanks
Well done my good man.. Hell yeah..
Kenny Baron min 11 my favorite .
Is it weird to drop the extensions into the lower part of the voicing? I always liked the way that sounds
AWESOMENESS!!!!
