If you're looking for good song examples check out "Rich Girl" by Hall & Oats or "Wait For The Moment" by vulfpeck. They also use a beautiful sec ii-V-turnaround to lead to the IV, say F maj.
4:16 I appreciate the unapologetic use of E♯°7 instead of F°7. I too often see people respelling to avoid E♯ to make things “easier”. It actually make things harder to read because it obscures the relationship between the chords. E♯°7 to F♯m looks like vii°7 to i while F°7 to F♯m looks like ♭i°7 ?? to i.
I’ve watched so many instructionals on RUclips. And you still are the best at teaching chord substitutions. Thank you so much! Every time I watch these it’s like a refresher.
Love the Acting Sus. It's an opened-up "Steely Dan" chord...Amaj7(add2). A-B-C#-E-G# with 2 in the bass. Jeff I see B13sus as B-C#-E-F#-G#-A (1-9-11-5-13-b7). The 5 is better omitted like you did however.
Great lesson. I tell my students secondary dominants and 2-5s are one of the best ways to spice up your playing. I loved the song at the end of SNL too.
Super cool, thanks a lot. But I perhaps missed one thing. In the combo platter you did not start with the CMac7 and why comes out of the sudden the Bb7#11 into the game? And why do we use an EMaj9 at the end? You never used such chords in all examples of this video. But even if I don't get - super great work and very inspiring 🙂
Where were you when I needed a new piano teacher back when I was 15.... Damn. Anyways, I consider myself lucky having found you now. Lots to catch up to. Lots to learn. Learning has never been more fun. Thanks, Jeff.
With the Lucky 7, I don't understand why you went to the Harmonic minor. I would have just looked at F#m and went directly to the Natural minor chart, which would have given me an E7 instead of that E#dim7. Same with melodic minor, which is a E#min7b5, all completely different sounds. So what is the music theory reason behind using the VII of X in the Harmonic minor scale?
Many of these riffs sounds like the intro that RUclipsr 'Mathologer' always uses as an intro to his video: ruclips.net/video/yAEveAH2KwI/видео.html&ab_channel=Mathologer
Gorgeous progressions, Jeff. It'll take a lifetime for me to learn them all! Some of what you've covered here reminds me of a video of Bonnie Raitt & Nora Jones doing a soulful version of Tennessee Waltz. () I don't know much about Jones, but particularly the intro she plays sounds a lot like some of your ideas. My ear has never been good enough to figure out what she's playing, but maybe if I work on your suggestions, I might.
Pink Floyd uses this concept in breathe over the lyrics, all your life will ever be. As a way to get back to E minor. Richard Wright actually stole that from Miles Davis Kind of blue. G major D7 sharp 9 C diminished 7 over E flat to E minor

Great lesson. Would do a part 2 on solo’ing over this!
Agreed
💯

The only apologetic should be the people referring it as F7, cause in music theory context ALWAYS matter
Jeff. Your videos have really helped me as a piano player and I’m forever grateful. Keep doing the videos. Much thanks and gratitude.

I've watched a million passing chord videos and i finally understand... thanks to your great way of explaining!!!
Thank you for another extremely illuminating video. I play guitar but am able to apply everything you're teaching.
Best video yet. Please show, in a follow-up video, how to add interesting bebop lines over these cool chord changes. Thank you!
This is pretty much all i need for the next year of practice!!! Thanks Jeff!
Beautiful progressions. I'll have to try them all. Thank you Jeff
Really informative video it was confusing at first but after watching few times i got it . Thanks 🙏
Not even five minutes into the video and am so helped by the knowledge bombs already!! ♥️✝️🙏
You’re simply the best !!!!!!!
you are AMAZING !!!! Thank you, I'm learning so much!!
I could listen to that chord progression in the intro all day!

OMG ! such a precious tutorials....
THIS IS AMAZING.

I loved the song at the end of SNL too.
Thank you!

Great video, Geoff……I am a sax player but I find all this theory interesting if a little bit hard to keep up!
Where were you when I needed a new piano teacher back when I was 15.... Damn. Anyways, I consider myself lucky having found you now. Lots to catch up to. Lots to learn. Learning has never been more fun. Thanks, Jeff.
Pure gold
Love the intro!!!!!
It is very good!
delivery 💯 🫡 🙏🏻
Just the SNL chords were worth the price of admission. Then came the "but wait, there's more" to the power of eleventy!
Good stuff man!
🙌🙌🙌/ Unmissable!!! Great teacher!
So that's where your "Funk up ya chords" song comes from. :)

I was wondering that too but can't find the rationale
Im going to have to watch this another 100 times, but I will get it…😂

sheeeeeeeeesh, bruh so much musical steroids on this video. Great Knowledge. A lot of math to.

I heard there was a secret chord. And now I know.
Its almost the same chords used in the verses of New York State of Mind.

A bit of help with voicing would really set this off...
😂the intro
Basically use the dominants as paths notes... Do you really have a music degree?
