Includes V-I progression and licks used over chords. Also II-V-I progression with improvisational licks. Free score included on website. www.kenthewitt.com
30 years of being a successful music producer, I had to recognize I have more blind spots than there is actually "known territory". So I decided to do the work this time and learn what I should have learned ages ago. Suddenly the dots start to connect. Thank you so much for your super valuable lectures. This is an amazing gift. All the very best and keep playin´!!!
I've been producing for 10+ years and started watching his vids a few weeks ago it changed everything
These are great comments..makes me so happy, thanks!
@@KentHewittpiano88 appreciate your videos, the knowledge you're sharing and love the stories too..the jazz beginners series really helped get a better understanding of jazz and the theory behind it...And I have been playing the piano for years now
THANK YOU VERY MUCH FOR THIS!!
Every music lesson you give always expands my music theory and its application :) thanks kent!
Thanks for keeping up with my videos, Razzie, and for writing!
Kamusta na piano skills mo boss razzie? 😆
Thanks for this lesson Kent.
But i am confused with the superimposed chord. At the beginning it is like what I call a slash chord for example C / D and then it is like the upper structure chord like the left hand pressing C7 and the right hand pressing A. Could you please explain the difference between a slash chord, upper structure chord and super impose chord. Thank you !
Who in the world are the 22 people that didn’t like this? Great tools for putting down ideas on the fly. REALLY glad I found this guy! Headed to his site right now.
Thanks for the support and writing the comment!
25 years ago I discovered the G maj triad over a Bb7 (13b9) - loved the sound - tried it out as a E maj triad over G7 and so on, and then, experimenting with triads over C7 found as well as A maj, Gb maj and Eb maj, (and of course C maj) and noticed the relationship of these four: the roots form a C diminished. I am still fascinated by these! The tritone sub is in there with Gb, along with its VI, Eb. Then last week or so I find Barry Harris teaching the same stuff, and now you, Kent! Like Bill Evans once said, it’s really better if you discover stuff for yourself. Being shown stuff is good too, but it feeds your curiosity, finding it yourself. By the way, I too prefer the first inversion of these triads. Thanks, mate!!
You'd be surprised at what you can find out for yourself. Bill Evans doesn't sound like anyone else, he has his own unique chordal sense, and everything else. To be able to even hear and conceive of what he does is so remarkable to me.
Hello Kent , I really thank God Almighty for your life . You're such a good wonderful teacher. May God bless you indeed.
Bless you for saying that, sir. My your music bring you much joy.
What a great video, this is information that I have read about but your video has helped me not only to grasp it but understand the practicalities. Thank you for your work Kent.
That's a great comment..it comes natural to me...but until I hear from you...I don't know it's worth. Thanks!
Your awesome videos are helping me decode and make sense of sounds that have mystified me for years. It's an invaluable gift and I thank you.
I'm glad I could help out with that...thanks!
you are a blessing.. and after surviving a major heart attack, you have helped me rekindle my music passion. God bless you
Two and a half years later and this is still by far the best jazz lesson I've ever seen.
I am constantly dumbfounded and amazed at not only just how in-depth you get with these videos, but also at the same time how practical you make your explanations for all these ADVANCED concepts.
I started viewing as many of your videos as I could about three and a half years ago and even though at the time 75 to 80% of them were way over my head, just always aspired to get to that level of understanding where I can grasp even the most advanced of topics. I think I finally got it in my ear. But of course now I have to actually train my fingers to get as fast as my brain. Much kudos, my friend for making this possible.
Please never stop teaching. You have no idea the lived you are impacting with these videos😊😊
Thank you so much, Michael. Your comment is on the top of my list of the "best comments of the year". Because it shows how I was able to help you grow as a musician.... in understanding of the content and applying it to become a better player. This is so rewarding and affirming to me. May you achieve much joy from your music! Blessings, brother!
It's good to see you explain what many of us intuit about music. I suspected this as a kid, when I first heard the way it wants to resolve.
I gave this a lot of thought...the idea was there but how to plan it took a whole day.
Brilliant lesson, was using the 'up a whole step' trick for a C13#11 for awhile now and knew there was other triads to throw in the right hand to add those tensions. Now I need to memorize these! Thanks again.
Thanks for the positive feedback...good luck!
Man, your a beautiful brother, I could never thank you enough. May your blessings be multipled.
Humble thanks, Antonio, your kind words are very encouraging!
dear Kent, i'm a classical double bassist, with a background in jazz electric bass, and basic modern piano. You explain this extremely well. I'm going to invest some of my vacation time in Vegas, to listening to your videos. Once i saw your minor seven voicing, i knew right away that this is a guy i need to invest in!! Thank you!!!
Hi Kevin, thanks so much for the comment. This keeps me motivated and sometimes that's not easy. But please check out my complete playlists on my channel page for all the subjects in categories. ruclips.net/channel/UCdmjw5sm9Kn83TB_rA_QBCwplaylists
This is awesome - I had figured out messing around that I could get 11ths and 13ths by playing triads a tone above or below the chord....but this is much more detailed and there's a ton of useful drills I can build around this. Your teaching method is superb and really well paced
Thanks for the kind words and affirmations. Very helpful to me!
Mr Hewitt, please never stop teaching ?! I play guitar since forever, and thoroughly enjoy all your videos. This latest video is a such true shortcut to altered extensions, explaining a simple device in Lehmann's terms. Regardless of one's theory prowess this simple formula will save hours of thinking and experimenting, and it is a great tool for mastering the impro, you don't want to be thinking where is what when soloing.
That's the idea I had...which I think is one way of seeing it, and is clever. You eventually have to know where those intervals are, sort of automatic. Thanks!
Great video Kent! Glad RUclips recommended it after 7yrs.
I'm glad they did....I don't know how recommendations work, but if you turn on mobile notifications it will tell you when I post a video.
@@KentHewittpiano88 oh I’m subscribed and own your book and appendix. Hope to come to one of your summer retreats in Maine one day. I watch all your new videos. I’m all in sir!
I went away after watching this video and built on the knowledge for the next 5 hours (its 8am now) like a mad man. Thank you so much, the F# key has helped me understand so much.
Kelso, being mad and passionate about music is what you truly need to have to understand the gifts of music. So it you have the gift ...go with it, brother, .....and anyway I can help, .....I'm here for you.
No man, it wasn't getting complicated, it was getting good! Your explanations are clear as crystal. Please don't hold back.
Thank you, David. "Clear as crystal"...cool phrase and compliment. I appreciate your taking the time to comment and be encouraging. Please check out my playlists for all categories and interests. Also I hope you will subscribe to my channel, keep in touch, and "swing loose". ruclips.net/channel/UCdmjw5sm9Kn83TB_rA_QBCwplaylists
Super Lesson...Always makes my week to see a new Kent Hewitt Tutorial...Thanks and Swing Loose
Appreciated!
I could watch these videos all day. This is the best channel on youtube for learning jazz.
Thanks for the great affirmation...keeps me going!

Very helpful, definitely a nice simplified explanation of upper extension chords.
Thanks for telling me that this lesson was effective!
wow this is great stuff, you know a great teacher and player when you learn something in the first 4 mins.
That comment is awesome. I had to watch it again to figure out what you meant. Thanks!
Hey Kent!
I just wanted to thank you for all your videos. It's great that you take the time to explain all those simple things that can make a world of difference in sound. I learn so many things whenever I watch one of your videos.
Greetings from germany! Your work is much appreciated!
I appreciate your telling me ...here's my list:ruclips.net/channel/UCdmjw5sm9Kn83TB_rA_QBCwplaylists

Thank you sir.You are fantastic player and instructor.You also just taught me computer settings for speed.May God continue to bless you Ken.Thank you for all your videos and humor too.You have "played " here all morning ...thanks
Steve, your comment is much appreciated for so many ways. My best wishes always!
You're an absolute gem! Thanks for doing what you do.
I appreciate the comment and support!
You said this is getting long and complicated. I love it. As a vocalist, I hear all these licks you use as exampling in my head when I sing. Being fortunate to have worked with some of our Legends from different genres of music, exposed my ears. I thank you for taking the time to share and example possibilities to expand as you call it, Your Vocabulary. You're The Best.
Thanks, D'bra, it's always great to hear from you and your kind words are much appreciated and motivating.
Tank you soo much. This lesson answered questions I have had since 1956 (when I was 15) and heard the swedish pianoplayer Bengt Hallberg
I'm glad I could make this info available for you. Thanks!
wow !!! Thank you again Kent , You are such a Wealth of Knowledge..!! This really adds to your chordal and Melodic Library.
Thanks for that affirmation....keep watching!ruclips.net/channel/UCdmjw5sm9Kn83TB_rA_QBCwplaylists
You're incredibly good at this and really fun to watch
Thank you very much! I play piano in my high school jazz band, and I always found it difficult to play chords like Db13(#11) and what-not, especially when sight-reading new tunes. This video really cleared things up for me!
That is exactly why a created this video, for someone like you so. So now you and I are a unit.
Thank You Kent! For all these videos and lessons! You explain everything so well. I like to use this material with bandoneon, to make modern tango sound a little more interesting. Greetings from Finland!
Thanks and great to hear from Finland...wish I could go there someday.!
A great lesson in Upper Structures. Thank you Kent, you're the best!
Thanks a million....I appreciate the encouragement...happy playing!
Watching this lesson many times and doing my best to transpose whole slash chords in 12 keys 🔑 🎹 really the best lesson i seen on youtube about extended chords 👍🏽
That's a great compliment especially because there's so many doing this.
Kent Hewitt master your lessons are incredibly good and helping me practice harder esp with the free scores on your website and im improving
This was a goldmine of musical ideas. Thanks!
Glad to hear that...thank you!
Thank you so much Ken. This is so good. It's like a light going on and my riffs are now beginning to sound jazzy. Thinking in terms of chords in the right hand when doing riffs is so right. I would never have thought of an E7 riff over G7!
I'm glad I could shed some light on a new concept for you, Roger. Have fun with it! Thanks!
Thank you! I can't tell you how long I've been looking for a video that explains how to make decent sounding altered voicings! Approaching it as superimposed triads is so good. I wish I had learned this a long time ago.
Thanks for the affirmation...that's what I needed to hear!
Thanks Kent, this is a really useful lesson giving some structure to the various options at dominant chords, great!
Thanks for telling me that it's helpful!
Fabiolus. Sir! What a fantastic experience listening to real Jazz Master! Respect!
Many thanks!
Kent, thank you for all your great video's you break everything so clearly . you are a fantastic teacher. much respect!
Thank you .....and much respect to you too! For encouraging me.... I know you will do well and encourage others... and I'm thankful for that. Please write to me again and/or tell me your story. kenthewitt@hotmail.com
Songwriter Laura Nyro used this a lot. Thanks as always!
That's fascinating...thanks for that!
First Kent your book is incredible and would recommend it to anyone who wants great Jazz Piano theory in an easy to understand manner. This video has done more for my chord selection and colorful voicing than any i have ever seen. I'm an intermediate Jazz pianist and this helped me so much. Your the best. Thanks Kent
That's a great comment, John, and very affirming to me. Can't tell you how appreciative I am, especially that you like my book, which was a lifelong dream.
Wonderful lesson for those wishing to incorporate a TRUE jazz sound and feeling to their playing. These polychords bring out some wonderful harmonies and tensions and a great improvement on standard triads and 7ths etc . The scales built on these chords add tremendous interest. Thanks so much Kent for bringing these techniques to us, your fans and pupils. I am lucky enough to have your book, the best deal available anywhere and full of these types of suggestions. Ray
Hi Ray, that's a great comment. Now I have a "shopping cart" for my book...so maybe I could use your testimonial to help sell the book. I'd like it to be available to anyone ...no matter what they could afford to pay. Thanks!
I love the way you explain this. I've been playing since the Beatles and I think this is what I found meaningful to me. Thanks brutha
Thanks for writing and telling me!
As always, great learning and entertaining. Pure brilliance. Thanks Kent.
Many thanks to you!
From Venezuela , i do speak spanish and some english sorry my writting mistakes ,thanks for your wonderful classes good teaching methods, very profesional , thanks for your entusiastic and dedicated teaching, i appreciate it, I learn so many things. Luis
Thank you for the support and encouragement!
OK....It's father's day..and I enjoy your videos soooo much. Getting the practical explanation of the possibilities is so refreshing and takes the piano playing to a free spirit feeling. You are providing a very valuable gift with these videos......thank you
GREAT LESSON KENT ! IF AN ELEPHANT HAD EARS LIKE YOURS, THEY WOULD BE DRAGGIN' THE GROUND ! THESE ARE THE "TRICKS" I'VE BEEN SEARCHING FOR ! FOREVER ! I WAS PLAYING DRUMS WHEN THE GUYS WERE TELLIN' THIS, AN' I FLAT MISSED MOST OF IT. 68 NOW, 21 THEN. HAVEN'T HEARD OF THEM SINCE. NEVER LIKE THIS. I WILL KEEP AND CHERISH THIS VIDEO, IT'S LIKE THE GRAIL OF JAZZ MUSIC THEORY TO ME. SO EFFICIENT TOO ! MANY BLESSINGS TO YA !!
Steve, you are a real cat! Join the group of elites! Please write to me anytime and let's hang out! Thanks and swing loose, brother!
Absolutely wonderful and useful lesson. Great work Kent. Love all your lessons. Thank you very much. Best wishes.
Thanks for telling ne, that's very affirming!
Thank you for your willingness to share your expertise. You are a fabulous piano player/teacher! You make it easy to understand. God Bless You!
Great compliment, Carol. Does my heart good and keeps me going. Many thanks, Kent!
Hi Kent... Love your playing style , knowledge, and the willingness to share such precious treasure!!!
"SUFFICIENTLY SURFUNCTIFIED"...!!!! don't know if that's a word or not, but I'm so glad I found your videos.! I play guitar. Classical Flamenco, and Jazz ... And have always been drawn to the richness of the piano. A friend of mine passed away and left me his Yamaha Pf15. I started duplicating on the piano what I could do on the guitar. Messing around with chord voicings, inversions, chromatic chord sequences, some finger exercises, as well as trying to play some jazz standards. It's so cool on the piano because of how you can space, and arrange your pieces ... to be individually personal. Seems like you can develop your own style using this approach. I'm no virtuoso by any stretch of the imagination, but since I seen your videos... "I solemnly swear to dedicate all the time I can to learn, develop and perform the richest most exotic sophisticatedly beautiful music that I can". Thanks to you my friend. If I could I would send you some Prime rib, Lobster, Caesar salad, Texas toast, and a 1985 bottle of Rothschild Lafite. Thank you so much... Greatly appreciated!!!
That's a great comment, Kevin...I'm happy to know that you are enjoying my videos and took the time to write to me. Please check out my playlists for categories that are most useful to you. Keep up the good work! ruclips.net/channel/UCdmjw5sm9Kn83TB_rA_QBCwplaylists
I learned alot from your teaching🙏 thankyou for being generous to share your knowledge to us, strangers online.❤️
You are so welcome!
Kent, this is why I enjoy your videos so much. You 'schooled me' on the Petruschka reference (@15:42 re: stacked tritone) and that has opened yet another window of discovery for me.
I'm glad I "hipped" you. Keep watching!
Your videos are awesome!!! Thank you!! I appreciate your sense of humor and it shows through in your playing! Cracking up at how good some of those licks sound x)
I appreciate your comment more than you know!
Didn't know you played with Chet baker that's incredible man. One of my favorite trumpet players
Thanks! Clark Terry was nicer.

You're a brilliant jazz pianist kent. Thanks alot from Saudi Arabia
You can go to my channel page and click on Playlists. You'll see all the categories including Easy Jazz and click on the title for the list in each category. Thank you!
Thank You so much for Your videos! I am learning, finally, what I wanted to learn since years! You are a GREAT teacher! You explain everything clearly and step by step! I print your examples and I have so much fun in practicing following your videos! THANK YOU, Maestro!
Thanks, sirasy. I'm happy you like my videos. I always wonder about people who write to me...ie: why my videos helped based on their experience with music. I realize that I do connect with people from all over the world, of all ages ,and backgrounds, as a result of the amazing internet. Please write to me again: kenthewitt@hotmail.com Best wishes!
Just went through your video last night. Great teacher with a Movie Star personality. Dmystifying way of teaching things that seem so hard to learn from books.
Rudolph, I appreciate your comment....it's flattering, but also very helpful...to keep me motivated. All the best, KH
I love the Miles Davis/John Coltrane version of 'Dear Old Stockholm'. Such a cool feel to it !! ☺
Yes, thanks for pointing that out...on Prestige label right? I remember hearing it years ago.
Kent Hewitt That's right, I believe it was issued on Prestige first, but I'm only familiar with the 'Round About Midnight' LP on Columbia. I'll keep an eye out for the Prestige version. Thanks for the tip !! ☺
ps : And for the excellent tutorials, of course !! ☺
I learn so fast with these Vids Kent and your 2 volume book is such a great reference tool. You are very cool. Much appreciated
Thanks, David, not only for watching and writing, but for the feedback on my book. Means a lot.
I stumbled on this channel and dam!......what a musical gold mine! You don’t throw out that you played with Chet Baker without backing your shit up! Looking at the stuff you’re giving I have no doubt!👍🏾😡👍🏾 two thumbs up!
Great comment, Marcel! It's affirming to me when I hear from you with that kind of support and encouragement. It takes one to know one....blessings!
Great stuff Kent - thank you! Got such a lot from this. I'm still learning the sax via the piano, but this concept is so immediate, it's leaking into the sax already! I spent about 3 hours yesterday just playing Dm,G7,C mucking about with these superimposition ideas. I went into the studio today for a pop gig - they wanted "wild" - so I slapped some of these "outside" ideas into it. So many new colours! Thanks again.
It's pretty cool and thanks for telling me that it was helpful to you!
best video out there if you want to learn some serious tips. Not everyone shares this kind of info. Thanks Kent!
Thanks, Hugo, thanks a kind comment, and true, I guess...it's just a personal time in my life. What's yours?
Thanks Kent. I had used some of this system in the past but you have elaborated on it and really expanded the thinking. Thank you.
I appreciate your telling me!
It's amazing how you're showing these things. Your videos widens up my horizon each time! I just can say THANK YOU!
Thanks for that great affirmation!
Once again, so enlightened Kent! I spent the afternoon studying All the things you are. The song obviously, not your good self. Thanks again for the splendid work;-)
This is one of those videos that has to go on my tutorial playlist. I really like the idea of "superimposed or stacked chords" as opposed to reharmonization. Thank you.
This opened eyes for me...seeing harmony in a new way. I'm glad to pass it on to you. Thank you!
Great stuff, so grateful for your generosity, man!
Thanks for telling me!
Hi Kent. Once again you have taken time to pass some of your stellar knowledge and talent. Very grateful for your help as always.The video is fascinating and targets all levels of pianists wanting to improve their playing. For me application of the knowledge is difficult in a real time situation! Improvisation needs work.
Thanks, John, always a pleasure to hear from you and I truly appreciate all your continued support...keeps me going. Keep at it!
I just watched this 3x at half speed and my life will now be better
Glad to hear that...thanks!
Tons of awesome insights (love the idea of putting a triad on top of a dominant seven to create interesting extensions)
It's definitely a cool shortcut! Thanks!
Wow. I was searching for something else in jazz and found this, and this expanded my understanding so much. Thinking about jazz chords as stacked basic triads instead of extended chords really changed how I see everything now
It's another way of looking at upper extensions, and effective when modulating to other keys or tonal centers. Thanks for the comment!
Sir Kent, you are fantastico!! I do barely know everything you say, but when you play it opens my mind. I wish that more people can find your channel. Thanks, my lord. ( I was thinking how great it was to see you and Chet together
Thanks for the great compliments!
Your ease in playing 10ths is baffling!
I've adapted ...with small hands. Wish I could stretch in RH...had surgery this year... but not great results. Thanks!
great video. I’ve been using these ideas for many years but you explain it so well and fill 9n what I call "gaps in knowledge.
Awesome, thank you!
HI KENT YOU ARE A HONEST MAN A GREAT MUSICIAN AND A TRUE FRIEND THANKS FOR SHARING YOUR GIFT JAZZ IS GREAT WITH GOSPEL MUSIC I'M GETTING A NEW CONCEPT I HAVE TO GET MORE DEXTERITY IN MY FINGERS 🎹😁 I'M TRYING TO GET SPEED WITHOUT GETTING CONFUSES 🎶
Hi Emmett...thanks so much for writing! You have always been so supportive and a special friend... and have never asked for a request. I would like to give you some tips that might be helpful. Please write to me at kenthewitt@hotmail.com Keep up the good work with your piano studies and practice.
I Kent I got the play Oh Happy Day by Ramsey Lewis before Sunday when he go 2 B diminished and take it down in half steps soloing in the right hand right there's where I get lost
I loved the way you cared about instructing on operating the youtube player. You, sir, are so lovely. I am glad I subscribed at the previous video. I feel I am going to see a lot more from you from now on.
Kind regards from a fellow keyboardist,
Ortiz
I can't get enough of your videos. Thank you so much for sharing!
I appreciate your comment!
Kent Thank you for this video. it is very helpful to me. Now I understand why jazz pianist are doing this.
Boss video! You're a blessing to RUclips Kent
Many, many thanks for your kind words.
Thanks, Kent! As an aged pony-tailed pesco-vegetarian dilletant- jazz-pianist who plays by ear and has very large hands this stuff really works for cow-punchers like me. You are an excellent teach, Teach! I can hear it all, and sound it out easily, but damned if I know what it's all called. Wish we had a common-name for each alt. Perhaps, as you suggest, we could name each one after a jazz great like Monk or Herbie Hancock. "Bb-Monk". Awesome!
You"re right, David, there should be a simpler way to call it rather than C dominant 9th with added sharp 11 and 13.
Hello Kent. Just a good heartfelt thak you. Another couple of Kent chops that add to my rep'. Thanks
I appreciate your telling me...keep watching
Hey Kent, your music gets better by the day............this is a life-changing lesson.
You should name these series "Super Jazz by Super Kent"
Thanks so much for the great comment and support. (But I'm Clark Kent , mild mannered...)
Pure Brilliant ! ! like we say in Scotland 😀. Amazing Video. Keep it up Kent :) 🎹
With your help and great comments...I'll keep going! Thanks and I hope to visit Scotland someday!
Thankyou so much for this and all you do! Such an inspiration.
Thanks for the affirmation!
Could watch you ramble for days man, thanks again for teaching me new words in my musical tongue :)
Thanks for the affirmation!
Hey Kent, just came across your videos and I have to admit that they make jazz theory as simple as it should be. Your concept of superimposition reminds me on the "upper structures" from the jazz piano book by Mark Levine. (I guess you know it ;-) Only difference: as he explains the chords as rootless voicings built from tritones + triads I never could remember which structure meant which alteration. To start from the root gives a better orientation and makes it way easier for me to quickly find the position for the right hand. If you combine these two concepts you have a powerful tool get closer to a more personal sound. Keep it up ;-)
I just found your channel, Ken, and I'm thoroughly enjoying myself. it's a nice change to have an educational music channel that doesn't treats the viewers like morons but gets to the interesting stuff in a organized but fast way.
this video needs to be commented because I've used super imposed scales and chords for a while now but really not knowing that I did; just found it to be a funky and easy way to get interesting sounds into my improvisation.
thanks for all these videos to dive deeper into the theory behind my favorite music!
This was a really a good one Ken - very well explained and demoed!
Thanks for the affirmation.....very helpful to me.
BRILLIANT LESSON !!! Thank you so much this is sooo helpful
You're very welcome! Thanks for the compliment!
We need Teachers like you in Puerto Rico maybe you can teach us Puerto Ricans on how to appreciate and let people play music for free please take a look
Did you send a link? Anyways thanks for the compliment.
This is the sound I’ve been looking for
Thanks for telling me!
Thank you for this lesson, I was just introducing this topic to my students... I only miss the b9 13 lick, in your example you played D over C7 instead of A over C7. Proves you're human after all...
On the sheet on my website I wrote the lick correctly , but looks like I made a mistake when playing it. Sorry about that....I can't re-do the whole video to correct it now...but thanks for catching it.
Love this channel. This video will really help improve my impro. Altaugh I know these chords, this new (for me) view on them is really clarifying! Thx!
Glad you like them!
Awesome shortcuts to finding those extensions. Great video Kent!
I've been studying this Kent and I'm glad you see no problem with this technique, as some people think it's not a good idea and lacks rigour in thinking about harmony. It's another approach and far from being an "easy" way to find chords I think it helps you remember the colour tones. Have you done a video on applying the principle to major and minor chords and modes (I don't see one)? The ones I stumbled across which are particularly useful are Major 9 e.g. G/CM7 and Major 13,#11 e.g. D/CM7 ( Lydian sound). I also like minor 11 e.g. Bb/Cm7 (Dorian sound) and of course there are others.
I just did one on applying this technique to a minor 9 (11) chord. Your's is a good suggestion, I'll start planning.that. We're heading for NC on our usual trek every year so I'll be away from this for a while. Thanks for your suggestion.
Hey whats up buddy!!! Its me! Your subscriber from Guatemala! 🇬🇹Great video as always! Your content is just so unique and priceless! I learned to play piano when i was 15 and it turned out i was good at it but after some years I just could not advance and take my playing to the next level because I had no teacher and RUclips has no good info about piano if u look for an spanish jazz video tutorial! But after some time I learned english and decided to keep on learning piano so I searched for english tutorials and found your channel! And what can I say?? just let me thank! U for all your work and the effort u put into your videos!! Ive advanced a lot in my playing. Cheers🍺🍺 brotha!!! You will never be forgotten! Hope u doing good in quarantine! And dont forget Someday ill have a beer with u in this or in another lífe 🍻you are the shit! And the best teacher on the entire RUclips.
Julio, you are a cat!!! or maybe better a compadre. You have a big heart. I love you.....you keep me going. And my wish is to meet you someday too. Always, your buddy, Kent
Thanks so much Kent for these videos. Can you show how to apply these chords to modern day gospel song/s?
Now this, this was helpful! Thank you very much!
Thanks for telling me!
Who'da thunk it? that diatonic ii ,V7 by putting 7th in bass to 3rd in bass of tonic thereby getting chromatic bass . If it'd been a snake :-) then the Petrushka polychord... so auxiliary diminished is still the parent scale there? 1/2 step, whole. So watching your fingers rt.H (no) seems to be the answer. Cool . I can see you ain't really thinking chord scales so much huh? Very cool lesson! Gonna watch again .So I just wanted to say that there are a set of chromatically altered chords that can be thought of as belonging to the melodic minor scale as derived from its degrees . Much of this approach(probably all at some point) overlaps with your stuff. But a different approach to the same thing is most enlightening and almost always yields a different kind of line .
Really useful tips... Thanks a lot, Mr. Hewitt
Thank you!
Wow, some areas to explore! Thank you very much for this and the rest of your videos! Subscribed!
Thank you!
