This video is mind-blowing for horn players. It shows the structure of the sounds many of us are looking for. In this respect, a pianist's perspective is far better than any studies for single-note instruments. It sounds great, too! It will take a long long time to absorb and internalize, but it will be worth it. Thank you. I signed up.
Complicated simplified. Yet the harmony is transformed from the simple vanilla to rich, complex chords. Inversely proportional mutation just got seamlessly better 👍Tòns of thanks!
loving this tutorial!! ive always wanted to learn upper structures to sort of imitate bill evans's style and your tutorial was simple and organised enough and super easy to understand
“infamous” Autumn Leaves? Infamous means disreputable. Great lesson. It’s easy to remember which upper structures to apply: major triads with roots taken from the 9 of the dominant chord you’re voicing plus the one with a root on the flat 13. So, in C7. Take triads with roots on D, F#, A plus the Ab
Some nagging questions I've had for (checking watch) 60 years about what makes jazz sounds work were answered by this video. That's an itch that's been waiting to be scratched forever. Resolved: I need to work on all inversions of all major triads.
Not a C13b9, the third one….for that to be the case you would need an A natural (13) and a C# (Db-b9). You have an Ab (G#) which is a #5th and a B maj which is a major 7th, as you already have a Bb to make the C a 7th chord, to avoid confusion with the two different B intervals I would call this a ‘slash’ chord C7/E.
Fantastica spiegazione molto più chiara di tante altre presenti nel web; purtroppo non è facile per me seguire dai sottotitoli in italiano ma vorrei tanto chiedere gentilmente se è possibile seguire una lezione come questa relativamente alle upper structures applicabili anche agli accordi maggiori e minori all'interno di un turn around tipo 1 6 2 5 1. Grazie infinite e complimenti.
At 1.51 you played a different chord to that which was shown. C with flattened 9 which was played but not shown. Otherwise very interesting indeed. Than you
In the lesson at about 10 minutes in, you demonstrate the Gb13. When I see that written on a sheet of music, how can I know its the thirteenth of Gb and not a G with a flattened thirteen? This same confusion might also apply to other chords notated similarly.
Thanks! So I'm reading chega de saudade (No more Blues) from the real book-- the head reads D- D-7/C E7/B E..... Can I use an upper structure chord based on E on the E7/B? Thanks for the input!
Thank you for the excellent tutorial. I think you have staff notation errors for the C13(b9) chord in the first frame around 0:30 and the second frame around 1:00. I see later that sometimes it is spelled with C3 to emphasize the “major triad” and sometimes with Dd for the flat 9. Are both generally used?
Excellent video 👍 Question; do you know who invented jazz upper structures, or who was the first to use them? Were they played as early as Duke Ellington or Bud Powell? I seem to recall only first hearing these voicings played by Bill Evans. (Asking for my students who always ask this question). Thanks
You have turned me into an upper structure junkie. I can't stop. I tried playing a C7 with Eb, Ab and Db in the right hand, which is...I guess...a quartal voicing? It's b2, b5 and #2 all at once. Is this..."allowed"? It sounds really good to my ears. Then, it sounds to me, I should hit a B (a major 7? in a dom7 chord?!?), then resolve to F with D as the high note.
this was probably the most useful jazz piano content I've seen so far
Me too.
Yeah, I agree
I agree

Yeah

if there would be a Jazz tutorial Nobel Prize you would deserve it!
The most focused and transparent explanation of this approach - and very musically

Misty with upper structure approach is beautiful
Indeed! Try applying these voicings to other jazz standards and you will hear they sound fantastic. Cheers! PianoGroove
In fact one of the best tutorials for Jazz Piano Voicings
This was such a useful lesson. I will watch. Over and over and play along until I can match it up along with the sheet music
loving this tutorial!! ive always wanted to learn upper structures to sort of imitate bill evans's style and your tutorial was simple and organised enough and super easy to understand
Thanks for this very nice video! Please make more tutorials on chord voicings for common jazz standards!
Insightful and very clear explanation!!! I love it.
Mind altering information. Truly valuable insights. Thank you.
This is the most detailed and thorough lesson I have ever come across on RUclips.. Thank you so much!!!!
Thank you so much! Such a clwar and informative explanation! Wish I had such a teacher a couple of decades ago!...

Piano lesson of the year
Chiaro, conciso, tecnicamente ineccepibile: chapeau !
Just awesome music........I learned so much.......pure brilliance.
There is a small mistake in the written transcription. The C13(b9) should have a Db on top instead of a Cb
And an A natural, not Ab at 1.06
Yeah u gotta fix this man. Tutorial vids need to be reviewed myriad times for perfection. They have to be 100%. Always.
I noticed that mistake, too.
I thought I was going crazy! Not a small mistake
@@Ernie_Centofanti SO DID I!!1 THATS how bright i am lol lol lol LOL1
amazed by the quality that you give !! this is a reel must have ! thanks so much !
I m from a little town from mexico. Very very very good thank so much
I adore it!! Very useful, and well explained
Awesome! By the way, I also want to include Jimi Hendrix chord in the UST category.
For example, C7(#9) =E♭/C7
I would listen to these beautiful lessons and arrangements even If I didn't play piano.
Very cool sound for this modern world. Thanks.
A good to get away from just using "vanilla chords". Thank you David🎹🎼🎹🎼🎹
Its fantastic. and the chart has helped a lot!!!

Very useful thanks so much
Too beautiful for words.........
Really enjoyed this very clear an concise, thanks
Very informative! Loved the Upper Structure Chart
This is a helpful lesson; thanks for the clear explanation, the best I have found on this topic.
Best explanation of upper structure triads. Thanks.
Thank you for the video and information you share with us! It's absolutely amazing! Greetings from Peru 🇵🇪 😃 I hope you're keeping well!
Very nice, you are such a gifted teacher
This is a great lesson. Makes so much sense. Thank you
Do you have a video discussing chord textures and how to create them?
Great stuff, very well explained.
Thank you for the insight of wisdom
Hi Hayden....
I very like your lessons. Are Very comprehensive.
Hugs..
Thanks Pedro!

Hi Chaps, brilliant video, pls do more about applying this info to standards, tho note earlier comment about typos re C13b9
Very nice
Amazing video and content - informative and inspiring 💎⭐️😊
Thank you

Best tutorial ever.. thank you!
I like your lessons. Do an of your lessons deal with improvisation?
Is there another video that goes over how you come up with all those top line melodies around the 2 5 1?
Fantastic! congratulations!
What is the name of the program you use to show the keyboard on the key, with musical notes ?? Thank you! hugs!
At 1.51 you played a different chord to that which was shown. C with flattened 9 which was played but not shown. Otherwise very interesting indeed. Than you
Спасибо за очень полезную информацию

Very useful!! There is a little mistake @1:05 C13(b9) that you play correct.. it is not correct on the score
Great lesson
you are good sir...thanks
You are a godsend.
Thanks! So I'm reading chega de saudade (No more Blues) from the real book-- the head reads D- D-7/C E7/B E..... Can I use an upper structure chord based on E on the E7/B? Thanks for the input!
Wow you are the best!!!! Thaks
Hi, great videos. One thing --- the written notes you show for C13b9 do not match what you play.
Thank you for the excellent tutorial. I think you have staff notation errors for the C13(b9) chord in the first frame around 0:30 and the second frame around 1:00. I see later that sometimes it is spelled with C3 to emphasize the “major triad” and sometimes with Dd for the flat 9. Are both generally used?
that's a fantastic video !! Thanks a lot
If I may ask a question, about when you refer to the scale as the mixolydian mode-in C7.
Isn’t the mixolydian mode of a C Major chord G-G?
damn, an actually good online educational resource for jazz. amazing!
Muchas gracias, muy buen material para estudiar.
Excellent video 👍 Question; do you know who invented jazz upper structures, or who was the first to use them? Were they played as early as Duke Ellington or Bud Powell? I seem to recall only first hearing these voicings played by Bill Evans. (Asking for my students who always ask this question). Thanks
Thank you so much sir I like your videos
I have learn a lot! Txs
Thank you teacher you have the tutorial in this Chanel I don't find the partiture
Gorgeous
Fantastic great explanation
At 1.06 there is an error on pentagramm
The correct notes are on the piano but not on the C13b9
Really awesome, thanks !!
Thank you so very much!! It's really helpful👍🎶🎶
Great knowledge. Thank you sir
Cool chords.
Great informative class, but never received an email back with pdf access.
You have turned me into an upper structure junkie. I can't stop. I tried playing a C7 with Eb, Ab and Db in the right hand, which is...I guess...a quartal voicing? It's b2, b5 and #2 all at once. Is this..."allowed"? It sounds really good to my ears. Then, it sounds to me, I should hit a B (a major 7? in a dom7 chord?!?), then resolve to F with D as the high note.
Wow you are a blessing
Nice tutorial ❤️❤️❤️
fantastic stuff
Awesome vid👍🏼
Thanks I just want to is this true even for minor chords
Excellent, but I don´t understand why you play E , A and C# in the 3rd example......it is wrong written? Minute1:06
Best 2 5 1 ihad see so far 👍
Great video. There is an error at 1:06. The third chord you play is not the same as is notated.
thanks!! are there also upper structure to minor chords?
I like You super explanation, also saund is very good
Why can't you have both #9 #11 and b9 b13？
