    Idol worship! If you are more concerned with the piano player performing ridiculous runs thats because you are not focused on the prayer. You want to be entertained...idol worship. Check your frequencies..

      If you can listen to this genius explain complex musical ideas in a way that allows others to rejoice in the spirit of Christ that surrounds us when we endeavour to open our ears to these new sounds... and all you can do is leave this banal comment... get thee behind me. Check your dissonance.

      I’m slightly surprised that you present a binary choice, that is, either you play basic chords and pray or you play complex chords and have idolatry. Why isn’t a master musician, who has studied with all their heart, able to present their gift with a whole heart and prayer?

    I've been a guitar player, largely rock and pop, for 20 years. Self taught, and most of my playing and understanding of music has been intuitive. It's gotten me far enough in my respective genres, of course, but I hit a wall a few years back. My new year's resolution this year was to learn the piano and to deep dive into theory. Your channel has been a godsend in this regard-truly feels like a masterclass. Just wanted to offer my sincere thanks, as I've been a viewer and fan for months.

    Doc, this is perhaps one of your best videos yet. I have to learn a lot of songs for concerts, church services, etc. on a regular basis and I no longer have as much time to practice (I am not a full-time musician, currently doing doctoral studies, self employed, a Church Elder, a father and a husband). However, I can hear those triad qualities in chords (most of the times) after playing for almost 3 decades. So it helps to shorten prep time. I am by no means as efficient technically as I should be at this stage, but the ear is so important! Knowing theory and why certain chords make sense (even when they don't seem to at a casual glance) is also vital.

      Wow. I would never think someone with perfect pitch would have any problems at all with relative pitch. I mean, the pitches are literally all there for the taking.
      If that's the case though, trust me you'll be badass once you got relative pitch down. Learn all the intervals, then all the triads, then various kinds of voicings - both closed and open, for both solo instruments and even for an entire orchestra, and you'll be golden.

      ⁠​⁠@@musical_lolu4811 The biggest issue for me has always been trying to hear the intervals before I can identify the pitches.
      I also got ‘Rick Beato’s Ear Training Program’ that’s been helping me to get closer to feeling the quality of an interval faster than before.
      I’m working my way through it and 4th and 5ths are killing me right now because the pitches register right away.
      But, yes, there are worse problems, lol. (Thankfully)

    28:49 just to clarify, Sean. Tritone is not a chord, it is a relationship between chord which is correctly referred to as “tritone substitution”. So for example, dominant chords have a tritone sub relationship ( most widely used). Some people use major 7 chords etc.

      @m.vonhollen6673 Год назад +2

      As I was taught, Dominant chords contain a tritone, an interval of a #4/b5, found between the 3 and 7 in that chord. So in say G7 resolving to C, we have the two notes of B and F, the 3rd and the b7th of that G7 chord. Those 2 notes can be inverted so that B is the 7th and F is the 3rd of a Db7 Dominant chord. So instead of G7 to C, we can use G7’s TRITONE SUB(stitution) and instead now play Db7 to C.
      So instead of V to 1, we can sub bII to I. We have played the chord which contains the same tritone, but inverted, so that we get different bass notes.

    Something that is interesting is if you pick these chords apart a bit it almost seems like its just different ways of superimposing two dominant function things on top of each other. Like the dominant flat 5 sound specifically. It's like you are doing a tritone sub and a non-tritone sub at the same time.

    Sean excellent video! Definitely have some things to solidify. For the exercise you did with hearing the 4 types of chords, I surprisingly did very well. But for a different reason. For me, I can identify chords based on how I think they would resolve. I am not sure if this is they same thing as what you are recommending though. I have friends that can easily hear a major/minor chord on top of any note. I can't do that but I know when a half diminished is played because I can here where I think it would resolve. Same with minor 7, dominants and major 7 and other chords. I have experimented with different resolutions as well, so even if its not going where we would typically expect, sometimes I can tell. But I feel this has me stuck because when there are other resolutions I am unfamiliar with an often get lost. Especially where there is a lot of movement. Any advice, besides re-wiring my brain to think of chords differently. If not then, I will start pulling plugs asap 😂

    • @SeanWilsonPiano
      @SeanWilsonPiano  Год назад +4

      the way you do it is what I called a “contextual ear” is one of the most powerful ways to hear things. It is the preferred method. My guess is to strengthen your relationship between the context and resolutions rather than trying to hear individual chords. In other words supercharge what’s already working

    Is there a 11sus chord?

      No, because the 11th note is the 4th note. Sus chords imply the 4th is already being played

    Those 9 chords are a lot of Bill Evans chords.

    I've said this before: If Sean so easily hears what the "Masters" are doing, what title do we give Sean? 🤣
