Yeah like whenever I read a bit of a negative comment I just think ''This dude (whilst he might make some money of the odd video) is literally educating folks for basically no other reason than he wants to/can/feels he should. Who knows why, but cheers to Matt.
As someone who has taken classical piano lessons as a youth for ~8 years, I can read notation, play Chopin, Bach Inventions, and all that - BUT this is such foreign territory....jazz, soul, improvisation. This is a beautiful and malleable art while classical is so strict. People think because we classical people can play piano, we can do this. NOPE. Matt has said he can't read notation. I would trade my sight reading skills in a minute to be able to improvise. What's more, it also feels like we classically trained folks are handcuffed to NOT be able to do this. Neo Soul and jazz concepts feel like an answer to a question we can't figure out how to ask because we classical folks have played other peoples music all our career. The only embellishment we add are dynamics, rubato, and phrasing. After that it's just other peoples chords and melodies.. Hard to explain why it's so difficult. Being a classical pianist is like knowing how to read a book. Being an improvisor is like being able to AUTHOR a book.
Un bon musicien est capable de jouer correctement tous les styles de musiques sans aucuns soucis . Il faut juste savoir placer les notes au bon moment , notamment pour l’improvisation , c’est ce qu’on appelle le feeling
@@station2station544 certainement des amateurs ou débutants ? J’étudie déjà et j’ai pas de soucis pour jouer improviser ni me plaindre .Changez de professeur ou de mentalité ou même de style d’écoute . Au lieu de se frustrer … tout ça parce que je suis pas d’accord avec vous .
as a beginner It took me like 5 hours to learn that neo soul progression as you played it. I played it over in slow motion a hundred times or more but I GOT IT at your speed. I love dirty chords so much
A man who can barely keep his natural talent under control. Such a gentleman - thanks very much for sharing these amazing techniques. A genuine pleasure to watch your videos.
I'm self trained, and I don't know all the theory and you'll have to forgive me..... and plays in one of the biggest kick ass bands in the world. No forgiveness required 🧡🤘
He knows what he needs to know. No need for quantum negative harmony inverted lydian subdominants when you live the funk like Matt. Erroll Garner couldn't even read music. I think he said a beaver doesn't need an engineering degree to build a dam.
These 'Neo soul' voicings paint such delicate subtle shades. I love the fact you admit you're self-taught, it inspires people that what you're playing IS possible to learn too. These type of voicings are my favourite type of chords. Great stuff! Thank you so much for posting!
As a synth player, something that for the longest time was less than obvious is that I can't stress enough how important it is to have a sustain pedal when playing this stuff!
Wow!! Didn't know Matt wrote Seven Days In Sunny June. Probably my favourite Jamiroquai song....and now I see the chords. Amazing. I've always heard soul chords but never knew how to find them. They hide, someone between the black and white keys, waiting to be teased out and set free. Thanks Matt!!
French guy learning some piano jazz here! Your playing is inspiring and this video is a must see for any neo soul pianist enthusiastic, great job and please keep doing this kind of videos!
Very nice overview, thank you. Key quote: "Sometimes these things sound more complex than they are because of the way they've been voiced." Also, that cutscene image is _very_ neosoul.
Try some videos by Karen Ramirez. Very nice starter lessons on playing by ear and chord progressions. 4-5-1 progressions, 2-5-1 progressions, chord circle, it suddenly started to make sense to me.
I bought most of the Tina Marie records back in the '70s. She was in her own league. Thanks for reminding me of her again. I have her on vinyl records back in the day.
Matt should propose those neo soul vibe to Jk for future Jamiroquai albums. The amazing part of the way he plays is that it is so inspiring and practical for a singer to writte vocal on it. Jamiroquai did a good move having him.
sorry if this is a year late haha, but there are actually a lot of good artists (erykah badu, d'angelo, hiatus kaiyote, etc.) who do neo soul, so you should check them out!
Matt, your videos are indispensable. I also don't know music theory and I'm trying to learn to play without formal lessons. I really value the videos you are producing.
Hey Matt. Just a suggestion. If you’re planning on doing more of these types of tutorials it’d be awesome if you could incorporate some sort of virtual/graphical keyboard so we’re certain of the keys you’re hitting. As per my earlier reply though, still loved this and thanks for taking the time to do it!
My thought the last few days was, man the world is ending a slow death. I guess I should learn more music . . . thanks so much for making this video SO SIMPLE to grasp
Ahh Matt, simply loved this Soul trip and I’m gonna have to play it and pause it over n over to drill those Chord progressions, great vibes thank you 🙏🏻 just awesome 😎🎹
refreshing to find someone who's obviously mastered their craft be humble about it. everything becomes simpler when you know the tricks and have the tools. very inspiring video thank you Matt-
Love this! Really inspireing to hear that you are self taught like myself. These kind of harmonies sounds so complex and I never thought I could work them, but this video really gave me somemore confidence. Thank you so much Matt! :)
Thank you so much for this. It's like some secret code to get me into a world I love to look at from the outside. I've learned so many Jamiroquai songs over the years (starting with the live version of "Sunny"). Imagine how amazing it is to be able to learn from the guy I've been trying to copy for so long. Not all about Covid is bad I guess.
I love this RUclips channel so much. Jamiroquai is my go to for jamming on bass AND keys. And here you are one of the best keyboardists in the world in my opinion and spreading your knowledge for everyone FOR FREE.
9:28 chorus of seven days in sunny June. Watching this video in June and actually having a sunny June after an awfully cold Spring. One of my favourite Jamiroquai tunes. 👍 Matt
If you learn to do the first progression in a few keys you’ve got so many songs. These are probably the biggest hits. What you won’t do for love - Bobby McFerrin Just The Two of Us - Grover Washington Jr.
Love how you break it down. Visually easy to see. Need to tell you about a soprano sax player I once met in college. We were at City College of New York taking an improvisation class with John Lewis of the Modern Jazz Quartet. The guy played circles around the entire class. One day Prof Lewis asked him why he was taking huis class and the sax player said he didn't know how to read music and wanted to start from scratch so he could understand what he was playing. Prof Lewis said there are 2 players. One's who wants to learn to play and the other is one who knows how to play. He then told the sax player not to let not knowing how to read music stop him from pursuing a musical career. He told him he was the most talented musician he had ever met and should be proud he had such a God sent gift. I mention that cause you mentioned that you are self trained and don't know the correct names sometimes. I say you are (and this is speaking from a guy who is retired but has 50 years playing as a pro) you are phenomenal. Your playing is so fluid and your ideas all sound from the heart. Going to save the chord names and play them in the new future. Great to learn a new skill. Even though I am not a piano player I do play piano mostly to accompany myself singing. These enhancements may open a new path for me in my singing. Hey I'm 69 and don't perform publicly anymore but every now and then I play for my guests. I young 16 year heard me singing recently told me he thought an Angel was in the room singing when I was playing the piano. haha Guess I still got it...
For the Matt Johnson fans I highly recommend a podcast called the keyboard Chronicles Matt gives an insight into his career How he gave up playing trumpet and switched to playing keys Definitely well worth listening to. He talks about his audition with Jamiroquai I have listened to the interview quite a few times Download the interview off of iTunes podcast
Thanks Matt. Does anyone have a practice regime where you can practice 7s and 9s and the different voicings? The goal being able to play in any key on the fly! I can play them, but I'm slow and it takes a lot of brain work.
If you have instagram or something I can send you a whole rundown. It took me three weeks of practice but I have it forever now Same thing to anyone interested @fbmaj7
Hi Ashraf. I use a reference track, in my case Josie by Steely Dan to practice chord clusters. It has quick chord changes and I learn them slow then muscle memory kicks in and I then take it up to tempo. As regards 7s & 9s, I tend to leave out the root note in the right hand for more clarity. --------------- Stay Home - Protect the Beat - Make Grooves.
@@philippeb1507 absolutely! It’s late late where I am at but I will send you it whenever I wake up. It’s a bit long and covers a lot but it’s so liberating. Imagine not having to think about what you have to play whenever you see a chord like Ab13#11
@@Marijuana-Johnson When you see a number above 8 ie from 9 upwards just subtract 7 from it to give you the relevent position ie 13 - 7 = 6 then count down back from 13. So you just need to add a 6th up from the root position.
Great lesson! Please consider using one of those animated keyboard overlays that highlight the keys you're playing for us lesser players. It's tough seeing some of your voicings.

How did you self-teach? What was the road? I'm kinda stuck in my progress
I guess practicing more by ear and thinking something as a fun exercise and not a challenge helps if you're teaching yourself.
@@sondrestrmme4006 what do you mean by practicing by ear? just playing around trial and error style?
One of the best things you can do is to listen to lots of other people's music - stuff you would like to play.
I'm glad I've been playing guitar for a while. Chords and theory transfer kinda seamlessly
Just in case anyone is wondering, those M7aug5 chords in the first progression are actually min7b6 chords (Root, b3, b6, b7).
And what he calls E11 is E7sus4
Amazing content Matt! Thank you
Please keep doing these videos!
Love ya Matt Johnson - your channel is one of my favorites on youtube! Fantastic work as always. Thanks for being so cool and down to earth.
Anybody else singing "Just the two of us "at the beginning?
Thanks, Matt! Glad you’ve also described the chords and explained what’s going on with the progression. Very enjoyable and accessible.
