    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.

    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...

      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.

    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.

    Hi Matt,
    This video tutorial is great!
    That's absolutely this kind of tutorial which I have been looking for for long.
    I need to go through this video slowly to play these great chord progressions on my Yamaha reface CP mini e-piano.
    I would like to learn how such chords are built and how the chord changes / progressions are made.
    Do you / does anyone have a good hint for a good music book which teaches me this?
    It would be easier for me to have the notes in front of me.
    Many thanks for any hints!
    Kind regards from Munich
    Thomas
