this is a song that can bring a room together no matter your color religion, even if you didnt speak english, the melody just takes you away ... thank you sir for the break down🙏🙏😊
I’m just getting back into playing (15 year hiatus) & this is the song I’m simultaneously learning as well as the piano in general again. My hands are not equipped lol small hands & a weak ring finger, but I’m determined to get this down
thank you so much I've been wanting to learn this song for a really Looong time you helped me learn this song in 2 days ! it's not perfect no way BUT I know what to play on left and right hand and I add my own thing here and there
I listened to more and see that you say it starts in Db major. The chord that you call Bb minor 11 I would not have called that since it doesn't have the third tone, Db, which I think is characteristic of a minor chord, and if you add it, that changes the quality a lot. To me it's a Bb7 sus4, or Bb7 sus2 sus4. Nice chord. Thank you for the video.
Take the time to learn the basics first and then start by playing simpler songs. This one in particular is more for intermediate player so starting with such songs will discourage you from playing pretty quickly
So what key would you says this is in (apart from the fact that it goes up a half-step twice)? But when it starts out with an Eb minor chord, I have seen the key signature for that part written as 5 flats. 5 flats is the key signature for Db major or F minor. At at one point he does resolve to Db major6 briefly if I recall correctly. So would you say it's in F minor (as opposed to Eb minor, which I might have guessed given the opening chord)? But then when he goes to the chord that has F# A# C# D# in the right hand with B in the left hand then going down to Ab in the left hand, what would you call that? It looks like a B major chord going to an Ab7 sus24. But B major chord is not part of F minor key. So how would you describe that? There is a modulation, or just some kind of chord substitution or ad hoc departure from the key? Its sounds nice, and sounds not unfamiliar or unique, but I don't know what it is from a music theory / chord progression perspective. I think if I had an analysis of it, it would help me in learning / remembering / transposing it and bringing it into my musical vocabulary.
Hi Stephen! Very good question. The song is indeed in D flat major, so you're right about the five flats. (The minor 5-flat tonality is B flat minor though, even if it's not too relevant). The chords alternate smoothly between the II - V - III - VI of Db major, with some nice major and dominant 7ths added, and the chord you mentioned is an enharmonic (sharps instead of flats) of the minor VII of Db major, which would be C flat major, with a maj7 and a maj9 (Cb, Eb, Gb, Bb, Db), which enharmonically is B D# F# A# C#. We decided to use sharps instead of flats in order to avoid confusion with the C flat. Minor VII can work instead of a dominant chord in major tones. So hipotetically, in C major, you could substitute a dominant G chord for a Bb major with additions, and it will still give you a dominant feeling. That's what happens here, only in a tonality with more alterations. We hope it's clear enough, if you want to ask further feel free to do so!
@@musicgreatness9987 That was a great answer, very clear, thanks. I'll try substituting a major 9th chord built on the b7 chord for V7 in some other minor key tunes and see how it sounds.
