    This is the clearest explanation I've found on this potentially complex topic! Many of the other youtubers start with complicated 11 or 13 chords and my eyes just instantly glaze over lol

    Go hug your parents for giving you the chance to learn and be so expert. I am sure they sacrificed for you to have lessons and music. I wish I had your skill, you make it look easy.

    Been playing over 30 years but for some reason still watched this. Guy does a really good job explaining what is a technical subject, mainly because most players just do certain chords because they know they work, to a beginner though it can be puzzling. Really good video, well done.

    I just play around on the piano when songwriting; can't read notes so play by ear. Videos like this inspire me to practice more... Thank you!

  • @Yuval_L1974
    @Yuval_L1974 7 месяцев назад

    This was brilliant, Ted - thank you. I was familiar with these ideas, yet the sequential synthesis of each point into such a malleable progression made this lesson immediately usable and more profound. I'm a guitarist and found drop-3/drop-2 options with inversions and bass movements that instantly opened up exciting voice-leading avenues. I guess I wasnt playing revelatory things but it reminded me to be more cognisant - a good thing.
    Yes, Barry Harris is a goldmine....
    Some standards come to mind like: A child is born (I love that Imaj7 - ivmin6 like Bbmaj7 - Ebmin6/Bb, back and forth), Who can I turn to?, even All the things you are and Autumn leaves lol. I often write and play chord-melody solo guitar, or accompany in small groups (with the occasional solo 😅) so lessons like these help me gaze through a different lens at familiar things.
    I'll study and elaborate on this lesson at length with my own arrangements.
    Excellent professional content. 😊

    These are all concepts I already employ, but I still love watching videos about them, and really have to commend you on your teaching style. Very short and to the point, I made sure this with some friends that are getting into passing chords.

  • @williammonteleone6993
    @williammonteleone6993 7 месяцев назад

    Really helpful. Thank you! Piano isn’t my first instrument, but I have a good theory background from playing saxophone. Many of these videos get bogged down in reteaching basic material which can get in the way of the underlying lesson. Love how you have the background information in other videos to help everyone!

  • @TommyRarivoson

    Nice video. I was expecting to just see dim chords and descending dominants, but you had many cool ideas. I’ve done #4 half dim, 4 mn, 3 mn, b3, 2 mn 6 then whatever where the b3 can be either dim (simple) or minor major 7, a Bill Evans idea, super cool chord which I’ll have to spell. In Bb it would be, bass up, Db Bb E Ab C Eb Gb. And then for the whatever, the penultimate chord, I love a Bb dim over 5 pedal - F G Bb Db E A. I’m looking forward to trying out your version. Great stuff!
