I am planning on watching this video many times until I learn the concepts. This is gold for learners. The delivery of the message I find it perfect ! 👍🏼
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.
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.
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!
Thank you for this video. This is the best video I’ve seen on passing chords. I especially liked the extending back portion. Really gives freedom and ideas for my own playing
wow this is amazing this is the first time i have understood passing chords thank you so much well i request you make a video for each type of passing chords so that they are is no rush in them
Well, that's the best overview of passing chord concepts I've seen. I almost understand it! But, seriously--Thanks. This bears some real study and experimentation.
Wonderful lesson on transitions. And absolutely beautiful playing. Also realized I have been misnaming many of these chords. Eg f# dim, ive been calling it a D7 augmented.
This is a SUPERB lesson. So clear, and yet such impactful, useful concepts for composing and improvising. It really reflects your “Piano Fluency” name.
I cannot wait to practice all you shared! I like and subscribed and cannot wait to wait to hear more. I aspire to play like Beegie Adair and all you explained definitely helps!
great video. The only thing I'd add is doing it on a set of keys that I could see the keys being pressed above your video of your hands pressing down on the keys.
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!
Good stuff… I struggle with dominate chords. Now I need to apply this to every key. This may take awhile without a pdf of some sort. Good stuff though. Thanks
i feel like i can understand this and lots of other music theory videos conceptually but have trouble implementing what i learn and figuring out how to practice the skills effectively

how was your journey did you learned it ?
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
This is one of the most coincise explanation of passing chords on RUclips.Thank you sir.
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.
Those who wish can achieve by putting in the time and effort to reach their goal. It's not too late until your last breath.
You can start studying, bro, give it a chance.
Yeahhhh. Agree
? U prolly need it more
Why do you assume? Skill is attaind through lots of work.
Tak!

You're amazing man. The way you explain things that could take hours in 20 minutes 🔥✌️
Well done sir! Amazing explanations using simple, crystal clear language!
This is one of the best videos about the topic out there, I think. Very well explained, just as your others videos (lessons). Thank you 😊
this is treasure, especially you simply instruct us with no difficulty
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!

Great video. The way you broke it down makes it very clear.
Excellent ! Very useful techniques to embellish any chord progression in songs.
Hey, love these lessons you should come out with a book covering these kind of topics Id definitely buy it
What about a book on Reharmonization?
This lesson is so underrated. Well done!
Well, that's the best overview of passing chord concepts I've seen. I almost understand it! But, seriously--Thanks. This bears some real study and experimentation.
Great coverage of a complex subject. You explained each technique in an easy to understand way. Well done !
Great information, loving it!
You certainly know your craft! This lesson is beautiful, challenging and so helpful!

The best explanation of tritone subs!👍🏼
This is very helpful. Thanks Ted!
This has just blown my mind. Thank you!!!!!
I'm a guitarist and really enjoy your videos. Perhaps something about pedal tones? They can work well in jazz turnarounds. Great stuff, thanks!
Fantastic.Love the chromatic passers !
great video. The only thing I'd add is doing it on a set of keys that I could see the keys being pressed above your video of your hands pressing down on the keys.
Great lesson!
This is an outstanding lesson! Thank you 🙏
Thank you really clear and helpful
You are very excellent teacher but I don’t undestand completely but my ear 👂 is very happy

Thank you so much!
Good stuff!!!
such a great vid!
Good stuff… I struggle with dominate chords. Now I need to apply this to every key. This may take awhile without a pdf of some sort. Good stuff though. Thanks
What specifically about dominant chords? Implimentation?
17:06 its a bit too much for me,but its great to be shown whats really going on at last.
Molto interessante. Grazie davvero.
very nice!
The D7 can be formed from the Bb Bebop scale (a la Barry Harris). Also, from that scale, an alt D7 if you want.
Soo owsome
My brain hurt like a warehouse
It had no room to spare
I had to cram so many things
to store everything in there
Billy JOel used secondary dominants a lot.
The 13th sounds great. You were a bit fast there so I gotta check that again.
Bravo
This is so nice😊
I would love it to be in the key of F major😢
Can you explain substituting ii7-V7-IM vs with ii7-bVI7-IM?
How can I get note to follow or to use at home for practice.... Practical
I wish you were playing this in C 🤣.
I wish you weren't such a nooob 😆
Lol 😂 he is on Bb minor
@@connelratty2940major
@@connelratty2940*major
It’s good for you because you learn another key now and you can convert it to C by yourself
kind of advance for me...................... but i love it, thanks Sir
Please 🙏 i need a written note to follow the pass cords
i feel like i can understand this and lots of other music theory videos conceptually but have trouble implementing what i learn and figuring out how to practice the skills effectively
Short answer - try putting this in different keys! Long answer - join my program! :) email me at ted@pianofluency.com
Good
bro. im 28 is it too late to be as good as you?
No mate it’s not late rather it’s early just be determined and be consistent when exercising
please. I want to know 4/4 beat on piano
Day 4 of chewing on this video. Such good stuff
❤🎶
What have I even been doing all these years
literally 😭😭
