My favorite part of this tune is the F minor chord in the chorus. I’ve never come across another song that goes from the tonic to a minor chord a tritone away. Very cool.
I feel LITERALLY the same way as you with that exact chord/moment in the song. And i've also seen other videos showing that part but miss using Fm7, and use another chord, don't know why.
I can't believe how anyone would dislike this tutorial! WTF man. I happen to know this guy personally, and this is a labour of love right here. He's also an absolute musical GENIUS, can play ANYTHING and is a pro. Thanks Ben for all your hard work and Inspiration! love heaps from Japan. Elia
He's absolutely amazing! U need to tell him to come back to RUclips. If he had quality videos like this 10 years ago, jus imagine what he would do now... He would totally dominate the game now!! I jus subbed❤
Really enjoyed the way you formatted this video! Love the overhead angle paired with the side angle, and then you even throw in the note detector for more clarity on your overhead angle. To too it all off, you graciously put the chord types above it as your are playing too! This is a really helpful and clear and concise way to translate the same thing that sheet music would take pages and pages to do. Liked and subbed my friend. :)
Can I just say the every which way you have made this tutorial is so clever and instructive: To have the original video, side angle to catch the key strokes, top view AND digital key press display! Aww man - you won the internet. Great work.
just discovered this channel and I love it already. Thank you so much for your time and work doing this kind of videos. You are Really helping keyboardists out here
Thanks so much for this tutorial. Just to be precise. The overall scale on the unison riff is actually a B-major blues scale, due to the tone "D" used a couple of times. To be fair - the B-major blues scale comes out of the B-pentatoic scale, just by adding the b3 tone in the B-pentatonic scale = in this case "D". The blues scale therefore consist of six tones - the pentatonic (as in its name penta = 5) consist of 5 tones. ;)
you should play with stevie you are 1 of the top 10 best piano players on youtube i wish you all the best and succes god bless you man keep up the good work and teach us more of what you know.
Anybody else notice the similarity between this and Giant Steps? I'm not saying a huge similarity, because it's only in one key, B major (unlike GS) but you can see some of the II-V-I's in those three keys.
I really enjoy your approach to playing and teaching. Based on the horn chart and the original book the intro is certainly based on the the arpeggios you named, starting with, B- D#-F#-B, but instead of it being G#-G#-B-G#-B-D#-B-D#-G# it's G#-G#-B-A#-B-D#-D-D#-G# followed by G-G-B-B-D-C#-D-G-F#. Your way of playing it is much easier to finger I admit. Is that why you changed it?
Hi! Thank you so much for uploading this, It has really helped with the song. But, I can't seem to get all the notes for the B pentatonic riff...would you mind telling me what they are as it's my favourite part of the song!! Hope this isn't too much trouble and thanks again for sharing your skill!!
Thanks for sharing this video man! it helped me a lot with the tricky stuff in the song;) I have one question: In the chorus, your last chords is an F#11, but i noticed that you're not playing an A#, so in other words your not playing a third. isn't it better to call it a C#m7/F#? or an F#9sus4? don't get me wrong I'm not trying to be a pain in the ass, because this video was of great help to me, but i was just wondering. if it is an F#11, can you please explain why? Thanks! and keep posting
E△9 = E△ + the major 9th. Root = E Third = G# Fifth = B Seventh = D (Ninth) = F# Same goes for Bsus9, although the the sus2 is the same as the sus9 (a 9th is a 2nd an octave higher!). Look for your standard Jazz harmony books and such, but when applied, it doesn't seem like Greek at lightspeed. Any questions, just drop me a line!
Joshua Collins - the hardest thing is trying to reach the speed of light in a rocket. Then you're dealing with rocket science (including Greek letters) at lightspeed.
for this E chord with the triangle it's the major 7th that needs to be added in the chord too, not just the major 9th.. so it has a d# major 7th not a d natural in the chord- you can see it when he plays that chord in the video too. just want to clarify for metallicarocks911
It is wonderful but don't you have a normal score. Coming from classical music it is quite difficult to grasp this writing and the rythm has to be guessed. Anyway your video is great. Thank you.

Muddoes! First piano lesson with jus the chords. So much better than stopping to talk bout each individual note. I love this tutorial

Broooooo thanks for this!!
Thank you Upload .
I added this movie to the collection of this tune in my brog.
I know this videos old but this is very helpful so thank you!
Classic S.W. verse simple and chorus very interesting and creative theory.
you're a saint thanks for this great video. all the best
@bgmusic2010 I didn't understad everything, but chord has voices: b(1st), c#(2nd or 9th), d#(3rd) and f#(5th).
Bsus2(or B2), has 2nd(c#), but not 3rd(d#). Badd9 has both(2nd & 3rd).
That's why I would choose Badd9.
Exelent you inspire me
DAMN I LOVE YOU
wow! great job mate!
Bad azzzzzzzz!
I like ❤❤❤
Thanks, you nailed it
thanks for thr chords I'm judt started learn it. my cousin playing it st the studio

liked this video so fast
THNX for the help. :)
Hi! Thank you so much for uploading this, It has really helped with the song. But, I can't seem to get all the notes for the B pentatonic riff...would you mind telling me what they are as it's my favourite part of the song!!
Hope this isn't too much trouble and thanks again for sharing your skill!!
Thanks for sharing this video man! it helped me a lot with the tricky stuff in the song;)
I have one question: In the chorus, your last chords is an F#11, but i noticed that you're not playing an A#, so in other words your not playing a third. isn't it better to call it a C#m7/F#?
or an F#9sus4?
don't get me wrong I'm not trying to be a pain in the ass, because this video was of great help to me, but i was just wondering. if it is an F#11, can you please explain why?
Thanks! and keep posting
has someone a transcription of this?
감사함당
Great!...but why there is "Bsus9"? Piano plays d# -note, which is third of B-chord and "sus" dosn't have third?!
Maybe "Badd9" is better?
WOW!!!!!!!!!!!! XD new piano lesson for me!! :))
thanks I need to hear and see the chords being played to understand it
could you please make a ribbon in the sky tutorial ???
B *sus* 9 😳
😇
whats that song on the opening of the video I know those chords and sound I just can't think of the song?
Can't Hide Love by Earth, Wind & Fire
can you put up the cords for alto sax?
What does E△9 and Bsus9 mean?
I don't understand chords that well... :/
E△9 = E△ + the major 9th.
Root = E
Third = G#
Fifth = B
Seventh = D
(Ninth) = F#
Same goes for Bsus9, although the the sus2 is the same as the sus9 (a 9th is a 2nd an octave higher!). Look for your standard Jazz harmony books and such, but when applied, it doesn't seem like Greek at lightspeed. Any questions, just drop me a line!
Joshua Collins Thanks for the reply!
I understand that a little better! :D

lydia velichkovski Thanks!
stupid dislikes. well played mate!
Ive never heard this song before . Could someone tell me whats this song about .
Please slow it down!
Hi, not very important, but isnt it the Aflat Pentatonic instead of B?
Good vids. peter
Actually, you play Badd9, not Bsus9. That's mistake
Advanced chords! O.O
Sheet music!?!?!?! This was amazing but it is hard to learn without sheet music
It is wonderful but don't you have a normal score. Coming from classical music it is quite difficult to grasp this writing and the rythm has to be guessed.
Anyway your video is great. Thank you.
You are going to fast I would not recommend this for a beginner
You can play 0,75 speed..so simpel
WOW!!! GOD BLESS YOU MAN!!!
