      ***** sometimes I get curious. What are "Sick R&B Chords", anyway?
      Had no idea it was such a specific definition.

    • @TotallyGoodatGames
      @TotallyGoodatGames 7 лет назад +80

      "Sick" here is used as an adjective to describe the greatness of its subject.

    Man, I envy piano players. It's so much easier to visualize intervals and to examine chord structure on a keyboard than it is on a guitar.

    • @warmregards4439
      @warmregards4439 7 лет назад +33

      i actually disagree haha, keep practicing and memorizing the intervals on guitar and it will come

    • @SufferDYT
      @SufferDYT 7 лет назад +58

      Dmitri Valdez How is it easier to see intervals across strings vs on a keyboard that just has every note displayed chromatically?
      Other than the advantage that guitar has with intervals all being the same pattern regardless of key, anyway.

    • @warmregards4439

      Well on a guitar once you learn the shape of something it's the same everywhere up and down the neck but on a piano every, scale for example, looks different

    • @SufferDYT

      It only looks different until you understand how the keyboard works.

    I've bin looking for something like this for years. Usually other channels tells you it note by note and it takes forever to go through the entire video. Other times they tell you the chords without giving you their function or how it can be applied so I'm stuck doing it in 1 or 2 songs. This is what I've bin looking for. Instant sub! Thank you so much!

Your long form content and deep explanations have expanded my understanding of theory more than anything I've worked with since I started hobbying with guitar and piano about 5 years ago. Thank you so much for being in the world and doing what you do here as a youtuber. I wish you all the best and I can tell already that Iwill be long-term grateful subscriber and a regular viewer.

    I used to think of learning neo-soul as something I'm pressured to learn, which made me confused every time I learn it. But now I see that it's just listening and knowing chords. I used to be impatient to learn properly, but I'm okay with the slow pace. It's suppose to be like that.

  • @lucas34540
    @lucas34540 8 лет назад +4

    Instead of calling it Bb/C at the end there, personally I would see it more as a C7sus chord. You've got C in the bass, then you have the sus notes D and F, then you've got your b7 on top, Bb. This is a typical 7sus voicing. And since you are going Gm7 -> Bb/C (or C7sus) -> Fmaj, it works as the dominant chord for a ii-V-I progression in F major. Maybe thinking about it that way will help someone else understand it better. Just my 2c

    • @JeffSchneiderMusic
      @JeffSchneiderMusic  8 лет назад +1

      Agreed, they both work. If you look at my chord function analysis at around 10:52, you'll see the C7sus chord written as V9sus. Good call!

    Music Theory is the ultimate because once it's mastered there is No Stopping You. Although I am lost with this it sounds very good. Best way for me to learn would to be sitting in front with my keyboard watching this video trying to replay what's he's already playing while taking notes.

  • @marike1100

    Progression is a bit like Blue in Green by Bill Evans (or Christmas Time Is Here from Charlie Brown). It's the A7 alt to D Minor, it's so pretty. Nice job.

    • @marike1100
      @marike1100 7 лет назад

      ***** Yeah, instead of F / A7 alt Dmin7 etc, it's Bb maj7 #11/ A7 alt / Dmin 7 etc, both progression really nice and easy to get good voice leading. Good stuff.

      Irshad Husain Blue in Green was recorded by Miles Davis, and I think credited to him for purposes of publishing, but it was actually composed by Bill Evans, the pianist who was part of the classic recording called "Kind of Blue" on which the song first appeared.

  • @MatkatMusic
    @MatkatMusic 8 лет назад +25

    that B chord is a Neopolitan(aka b2) for the key of Bb (your temporary tonal center). if you played B9#11, then it would be a tritone substitution. But, it's not dominant.

    • @JeffSchneiderMusic
      @JeffSchneiderMusic  7 лет назад +24

      Thanks for the comment. The Neapolitan chord is traditionally played in first inversion and resolves to the dominant - this C#/B does neither. In fact, the C#/B is an implied B13#11 chord which is indeed a tritone substitution of F7, the V7/IV. Hope that helps explains what I was going for!

    • @alfonsomarra339
      @alfonsomarra339 7 лет назад +1

      Matkat Music In my opinion that B chord is not a neapolitan one. Beacause in Bb neapolitan minor scale the 7th Grade is A and not A flat(that is the 13th of B).
      Sorry for my bad English hahaha

    • @abuventertainment2856
      @abuventertainment2856 5 лет назад

      I wouldn't say go off the bass note because the root chord could be inverted or something. Just look at the notes that the chords are made up of and attribute them to a scale. The ones that sound more consonant are likely diatonic to the key and the ones with outside tensions are from outside the key. Usually borrowed from parallel modes or secondary dominants

    "Making Music and teaching you how" - better "why" :) "why" is more important

    This isn´t just total killer, it also has the balls to be beautiful. Something I miss in a lot of jazz tunes (no offense!). LOVE the chord voicings and the laid back playing. Needless to say: very detailed break down with all the hows and especially the whys. Thanks so much!

    A7alt = I look at it this way, if I want to use it (as passing chord / tritone sub) left hand tritone whole step down of A / right hand chord whole step down of the left tritone, so a7alt for me is like F / Gtritone, it's easier for me to tell my hand what chord to play, hope I'm making sense lol, but thanks for this jeff, your videos are helping me see chords I've never seen/heard before =)

    Reminds me of Africa by D'Angelo. Great tutorial. Never thought of doing a tritone like that, with a soert of #11 feel. Sounds very, very RnB

    Wow! Jeff. Your music theory knowledge is just amazing. Can you share us how long did it take you to play all those 7ths, 11ths and 13th chords? Well i am simply stuck playing simple triads over the bass. Is there any special technique that i am not aware of in harmonization theory? Please enlighten us probably with a video. Thanks

    Where have you been in my life, man? I'm a guitarist, but didn't go to jazz school. This is awesome - just I-vi-IV progression with a V/vi and a tritone sub (gotta love that polychordal voicing). So gospel with the plagal cadence.

  • @Marius1988Roma

    Great video as aways man! Just wanted to say that in my opinion, that has not to be seen as a Gm, but a Csus with its fifth in the bass. At least to me, it really sounds like it! Always happy to receive your knowledge, thanks for doing what you do!
