The Director Modulation works with this chord progression because the G-Majori I s V for i n C and a IV in D, so the Bass Line just jumps a half step down to the F#.
That is true about the bass line. However, the direct modulation would work even if the bass had to jump to the new key, and not move by 1/2 step. Give it a try!
"Direct modulation" aka a simple key change. I was taught that modulation requires a transition, and this is what makes it different from a key change. You are quite awesome bro. Smooth, knowledgeable, accomplished. Great instructor.🤜
I really appreciate the kind words! Yes, I agree with you that the term "modulation" generally implies some preparation. However, colloquially-speaking, when referring to songs, modulations and key changes have become synonymous. Great point you raised! Thank you!
Corey, you are soooooooo GOOD n KNOWLEDGEABLE!! Man, I wish I lived in ATL, I'd be an in house student.... Do you have any albums out or albums you play on?? I'd love to hear and transcribe.
Hey Paul! I appreciate you! I just released a single for an artist that I produced. Go check that out! His name is Ahmad Hall & Friends and the single is “He Watches Over Me”
I think it is extremely important if you play organ. For piano, not to the same degree. I know you've asked about this before and I have it on my list to make a video. In short, I think playing in one spot is the byproduct of a bigger pursuit, not the pursuit. Meaning, the goal for me is not to play everything in the same place, but rather to have my chords "sing" and sometimes that requires me to stay in the same place.
I forgot to mention - a lot of my thinking on this is "playing with a bass player" in mind, although the "Giant Steps" example was "unaccompanied" piano. Thanks again.
Naming quartal chords can be tricky because by their very nature they are ambiguous and can be lots of chords. So I’m thinking melodically, I’m harmonizing that melody using 4ths. So the melody was F, F#, G, G#…. So I just harmonized those as fourths…. Let me know if you have any other questions
Barry Harris was a huge influence on me. I basically created a voicing and harmonic system based on his sixth-diminished concept. I actually talk about it a lot in a couple of our courses!

As ever, you create connections between synapses I didn't even know I had. Thanks as always, Corey!
Thank you so much! It’s my pleasure!
Corey, you are one the best out here on the tubes when it comes to style, flow, musicality and taste!!
Thank you so much!
Corey, I love how you play kind of off the beat. It adds flare and rhythmic interest into the mix.
Thank you! Yeah playing behind the beat pulls the ear a bit and makes it feel as though you have so much more time…

Is playing "any" chord progressions with your hands basically staying in one spot, an important skill to have?

so what chord was great. Can you help me understand what 4th chords are you playing? how I know where to start? Thanks!! Great tutorial!!

You are really going to make me cry
Oh no...lol
I love it...
🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾
Very handy bread & butter modulation techniques for players of any instrument (I’m coming from the guitar side of things). Thanks for the tutorial!
You are so welcome! Agreed! I’m so stoked to hear these principles applied to other instruments!
You are the best
🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾 I appreciate you
I’m interested on your take on Barry Harris Diminished 6th approach.
Barry Harris was a huge influence on me. I basically created a voicing and harmonic system based on his sixth-diminished concept. I actually talk about it a lot in a couple of our courses!
Oooooooooh!
Yeah man, that's cold LOL!
Much Love!
Wooooooo!
LoL…thanks
Dose anyone know what vst piano is being used pls?
