Love great teachers! Theory requires more groundwork but it has the potential to produce bigger trees. Obviously, everyone is different and God has given us different graces.
Going on 12 years now since I heard the bluesy gospel sound of my dad playing piano. He was a skilled musician like you. :) Thank you for making this video so I can try to create music in his honor
trying to incorporate more gospel in our church services. And the good news is that everyone loves it. I'll be revisiting this cadence idea. Thank you.
I like that you play simple and hold the chords. It helps me understand the harmonic relationships. I can figure out other inversions at a future point. Excellent tip about outside & inside voices. Nice work. I like your teaching style Thanks!
Another video with tons of tips as usual. What I love the most about your lessons, are the "in-between moments" when you veer off what you're teaching and just show off stuff impromptu..... OMG it's priceless. You give alot more than what you intend everytime. Thanks so much. We're learning and I definitely do not take it for granted.
Thanks for sharing. I will incorporate this lession in my playing. You have uncovered lots of technics and movements that most skillful musicians play but don't share with other musicians. I am learning the more you give out, the more God bless you with more to give. Continue sowing seed so God will increase you. Thanks again.
This video is amazing. The way you break down complex things makes us beginners/intermediates suddenly comprehend in a more accessible way the process of building complex harmony. Great work.
I just found your courses. God's modest and gracious brilliance shines through in your explanations. Thank you for blessing us with this heavenly service.
Thanks so much. I’ve been avoiding gospel and focusing on jazz. But my roots are in gospel and my Mom (RIP) used to play for the church. So I feel she would want me to continue her legacy. Thanks again! Brilliant lesson and great theory explanation. I’m a huge fan !❤
Thanks Corey🙏🙏 The sheet music is really great and I love the approach of different keys. It helps in practicing it in all keys💕💕 More wisdom and knowledge I pray for thee
This is super inspiring and immediately makes me want to sit down and play with all the possibilities. Such an easy bell click for me and I really appreciate the time and consideration on this
Man you are an excellent teacher bro!! The last move you are playing on the advanced part I use all the time but instead of resolving to the 5, it’s sounds sweet in a 7-3-6 movement.
Wooooow este vídeo es oro puro, muchas gracias, estoy activando los subtitulos y auqnue la traducción a veces no es cien por ciento exacta se entiende a la perfección... Me gusta ver los análisis de la armonía, no solamente aprender una progresión de acordes sino porqué se usan y porqué suenan tan bien, al principio no entendía pero con la explicación se aclaró el panorama... Nuevamente muchas gracias... Like, suscripción y activada la campanita de notificaciones, maestro saludos cordiales desde Lima-Perú 🇵🇪
Hello Sir. So good... I hear your passion for instruction. Gift from God. I'm a straight chord (3 note) guy playing melody with right hand. Mostly old Baptist hymns. But now I attend a predominantly black church and head many guys playing thesd progressions effortlessly.. like they were born with a progression instinct. So.. I want to learn. Thats for helping me in the journey to learn something new, and add to my style of playing. Grateful for theory thoughts.
Thanks for the kind words…. Lots of different suggestions, but I’ll share two. 1) Learn your primary chords in every key. 2) Any song you are learning, learn in the original key…. Be Blessed and Happy Practicing!
@@SkilledMusician Grateful for the response! Yes.. will do. I have kept away from original keys due to difficulty, but will recommit. God keep, protect, bless you. Peace and His mercy.
If you need him to name every single note of the chord then it’s probably better to slow down and learn your chords first. Once you understand how to make different chords in all keys with different chord qualities (major, minor, diminished, augmented, etc) then you can come back to videos like this and you’ll get so much more knowledge out of it!
Absolutely amazing, thank you. For some reason, I can not think of one song that has that run in it. Can you give some examples? I am at an intermediate level, and so I need a song to apply it to to make sure my rhythm is correct. I know I've heard it a million times but can't think of one song
Boss, its the stuff inbetween the lessons when you get lost in the passion of creating....I be pausing RUclips like come on man what was that!!! Great Stuff
Thank you for these amazing tutorials! Question: at 12:05, that chromatic motion leading down to the V chord, is that intentional, or is it more of just you taking chances and going with your gut?
❤ enjoyed every minute of the video on my way from beginner to intermediate level, can you make a video on runs, link how best to use the sustain pedal and on jazz 😊😊 think you in advance sir.
Make sure you are part of our community and we will send you an email shortly. Here's a link to join: www.skilledmusician.com/join-our-community-newsletter
Been watching your videos.. for a while now sir. I really appreciate your efforts sir.. especially on we beginners .. but I need serious help on how to improve on playing other keys just like the way I play on my Cmajor.. am stuck 🤦 .. I need a guide or some videos to guide me through the process on really improving on the piano..
I think that is a great suggestion. I do have two ideas to help you with transposing. 1) Learn your major scales and primary chords (1, 4, and 5) in every key. 2) Whatever songs you have to learn, learn them in the original key. So if you have to learn a song for Sunday morning, learn it in the original key. Do not transpose. This will help you learn every other key...
I use a number of programs, but I edit them in Final Cut Pro. If you want to know exactly how I do everything, I have a course on my website called “How to create an Online Piano Studio” where I cover everything I use and exactly how I make each video in great detail!
Our sincere apologies! We’ve updated our site and are updating our links. Please send me an email at ctaylor@skilledmusician.com and I will email it to you
This is a big question. Gospel Music is so vast and there are so many places that you can start, but I will try to give you a few ideas. (This is not an exhaustive list). TRADITIONAL GOSPEL- Thomas Dorsey, Mahalia Jackson; Shirley Ceasar; James Cleveland. TRADITIONAL CHOIR MUSIC: Mississippi Mass Choir. QUARTET: The Canton Spirituals; The Williams Brothers. FOUNDATION OF MODERN GOSPEL: Thomas Whitfield. MEN's GROUPS: Commissioned; Men of Standard. ARTISTS: Kirk Franklin, Yolanda Adams, Fred Hammond, Marvin Sapp, John P Kee, Donald Lawrence. Ok this should be a good start... Let me know if you need anthing else.
@@SkilledMusician man this is really good, thank you so much.. I might be shooting into the dark but I feel like Gospel and Blues is very important for someone like me, who's trying to figure out the roots of Jazz music.
whats the best way to learn chords. im just starting out, and the only thing i hear people say is “just keep playing them over and over”. is there a better way or some type of exercise?
@@SkilledMusician just starting out. I know how to make a triad/7th chord, but im having trouble remembering them by heart. I cant just play a chord, i have think about it and then form it. Just trying to find the best a different way to practice them instead of keep playing them over and over.
@melvinbrookins6313 I understand. First start by working on one chord. Just make sure you can consistently get your fingers on all of the notes perfectly. Then add a metronome and see if you can play it in time. Practice different rhythms. Then try playing it within a series of other chords you know, with the metronome. And lastly, try playing it in a song, with the metronome. This will help you integrate the chords so that you know them in your hands, ears, and head, instead of trying to remember them. Let me know how it goes.
You are the only teacher who is teaching we the beginners the advance chords and how to create it
Thank you so much!
@@SkilledMusician hy,how to get your pdf where you play slowly
I firmly believe (as a keyboard player for 40 years) people that are able to play as this high level cannot be from this planet
