Another H.E.R. chords video: • H.E.R. Type Chords II ...
In this video we look at a H.E.R. inspired R&B chord progression I cooked up. This chord progression features some of my favourite types of chords; the minor 9 in root position, the dominant 7 flat 9 and the dominant 9 sus4. If you take nothing else from this lesson, here's three chords to add to your arsenal.

As soon as you hit that 2nd chord I was like "oh yea thats HER" lol
Hahaha 😁
Yeah those are the first three chords sound very much like “Focus” just transposed to a different key.
lmfao I said the same shit lol
Right!! It sounds like wrong placesi think 🥰
Faxxx
Sweet! Have you considered playing the whole progression in the beginning, so we know what we're getting beforehand?
Thanks bro! Certainly, thanks for the feedback.
John Ny my dude you have done us all a huge favor
ambassing
I don’t even know what a chord is, but I’m still watching 😂
Adnan A me too 💀
Basically a group of notes that sound good together😂
my heart dropped at the second chord
can you teach the AMBATUKAM
Ambadeblou chord progression next pls
Ambatukam aaaa
ambutakaaaam
Ambatablow
Omygot ambatokum
These are what i call sexy chords
It’s all in the 7th and 9th added notes :)
YES YES YES! Thank you for this. With every producer making tutorials about trap melodies and simple chords. We need someone like you whos actually knowledgeable on music and its theory. No one is teaching how to do that modern R&B sound, these soulful beautiful chords, Thank you so much
Hey bro thanks man! Love this, glad to hear these tutorials are useful and wanted! More to come real soon! Thanks for the support!
30 seconds in and I'm staring in the oblivion. H.E.R's vibes is just so reminiscing. Damn.
I’d say it’s in D minor as all chords fit into the key of D minor [D E F G A Bb C D) by using a mixture of the D harmonic minor scale (D E F G A Bb C#D), D melodic minor (D E F G A B C# D), and the D minor blues scale (D F G G# A C D) which are some of the basic scales used in R&B music. As you mentioned, You could also use the C major scale to improvise over this but really you would just be playing D Dorian scale (D E F G A B C D) which is the same notes as C major but starting on a D. Chord 1 can also be looked at as a rootless D minor9 Chord creating a perfect cadence.
Dan The Piano Man right on! There’s a lot of tonal confusion in this comments section but you nailed it.
Dan The Piano Man perfect breakdown bro!!
I concur
You got it Right Dan the piano man !!
Thank you for that! Idk why it wasn’t mentioned in the description.
The second chord blessed my soul. 🙇🏾♂️🙇🏾♂️🙇🏾♂️
Hahahaha
Me too 🔥
Could you explain "how" the chord progression is built? While it's good to explain the chords themselves, it would be even more useful to explain how to construct a chord progression. For example, what is the tonal center, what are the chord substitutions and where those substitutions come from. Knowing the chords enables one to repeat it. Knowing how to construct a progression unlocks freedom to create.
Hey Mark, thanks for the feedback, I totally get what you're saying. However in all honesty, it's stuff I don't really know myself. This is a beat making channel first and foremost but I decided to share the little I do know around this stuff to help my audience as and where I can. I'll continue to study and increase my knowledge so that I'm able to improve these videos. For now, I'd advise people to check out other channels that are more focused on theory and go into depth, there's plenty out there. Again thanks for the feedback, it's something I need to aim for!
@Mark Davenport Fmaj7 is the I ( tonal centre ) - A7/b9 is V/vi ( Means dominant of Dm9, also known as secondary dominants) - Dm9 is vi - G#dim is tritone substitution of Dm9- G/A or A9sus4 is like an "Extension" of the following A7. That Means it leads smoothly into the A7 and the A7 is the V/vi, which is actually our second chord from the Progression, ( A7/b9 ) a secondary dominant. Typically, it should resolve to Dm9 like before BUT because Dm9 and Fmaj7 are about the Same from their respective notes, you can imply a Fmaj7 instead of Dm9.
Mark Davenport sharp harmonic analysis!
@@johnnykirchens3692 or perhaps you can even think of Amaj and Cmaj as equivalent chords, so that the Amaj then implies the Cmaj which in return gives you the 2-5-1 turn around... G - C - F . but that's just me speculating.
@Stefan Guy I truly appreciate your candor. Thanks for posting. You don't really need the deep theory stuff to make good music. It mainly helps explain it's mechanics and discover you're options. Keep doing what you're doing and enjoy it above all else.
Yes Stefan. Love the new videos...feel like you're really catering to you audience and it's greatly appreciate. Keep it up!
Hey man! Glad to hear you're loving the new videos. I took what you said couple of months ago on board.
Men i really love the way how you teach or show us how to play chord..I can't read notes, but i see how you play the chords and i can play it as well...because i always jam on my keyboards..and try different chords even if i don't know if i do it right but it sounds good...
Oh my goodness this has H.E.R all over it, the second chord is sooo nice!
why does his keyboard start on F it's making me uncomfortable
@Stephen Maxam lol
Lol
its a midi keyboard, it can start on any note and white keys can be any keys.
gotta love them lush chords
100%
30 seconds in I subscribed!! This is exactly what I was looking for
ActvMainO 🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾 thank you brother! Much love 👊🏾
The video we all needed
Glad I could share it with you brother!
Audio is so clean and that piano sound is so nice!
Thanks Joyce! It’s the Maverick Piano from Native Instruments in case you’re wondering :).
Stefan Guy cheers!
Aside from that A major on the end, this sounds like SZA too
The weekend comes to mind
The pad you played at the end gave me goosebumps literally. Really reminiscent of H.E.R, great video!
Hahaha thanks man!
@@stefanguy What pad sound is it please?
Dude, this is the YT channel that I needed right now!! Thank You
Hey Christian, glad you found my channel! Can't wait to share more with you bro!
As soon as I heard the second chord, I knew it was over 🥵
Hahaha glad you liked it brother!
Mmmmmmmm those chords are itt💕💕
Yooo these chords are class. Imma definitely use them Fo Sho 🔥
Hey Samuel, glad you liked them bro. Make something dope! 👊🏾
You could also start with a *G13 (leaving out the 3rd degree)* instead of the *F maj7*
So that would be *G, D, F, A, C, and E*
Thanks for sharing this! It sounds dope!
Love this
Thank you!
I can not tell you how convenient this was😂😂😂💀❤️ I was literally looking for h.e.r. Type chords you happen to have just released a video 😂😁❤️❤️❤️
That is crazy 😂, it was meant to be! Really glad to hear it. If you need a closer look at the chords I've created charts you can view on my blog 😃 music.stefanguy.com/her-type-chord-progression/
Bro i play guitar and this helps out alot thanks
Glad I could share this with you man!
Love your videos man. Keep it up!!!!
I've watched 2 videos on this channel and am super impressed, keep up the good work soldier
Thank you! Many more to come! Thank you for the encouragement!
Beautiful
Love these progressions, definitely keep making these type of video man 💪🏽💪🏽
Thank you brother!!
It's DEFINITELY NO DOUBT WHATSOEVER in D. The A chord, in the end, screams "yo its been fun and all but take me home to D!!!". The Mode, however, is Dorian, that's why it contains all the notes of C major and A minor. its D Dorian, used a lot in jazz improv.
🤣🤣🤣... thanks for the insight Myriam!
@@stefanguy thank you for breaking down the chord progression!
You're one of the GOATS dude, appreciate this 👍
Much love brother 🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾 glad I could share!
Thank you mr. Stephen beautiful chords I look forward to more of your videos! Teddy Korbos.
Theodore Korbos thanks Teddy! Really appreciate it. More coming real soon!
This is great dude! Thank you for the inspo
Thank you my brother! Glad I could share! 🙏🏾
Thanks.you’re the best
Your mic sounds so good
Thanks! I think I used the Rode NT1 on this
Nice little progression. When in doubt substitute a major triad with a dominant seven. Lol. Always works for me, as a listener and a musician.
Hahaha you should put that on a t-shirt!
Thank you for this
Good one!
Thanks bro!
Explanation of each chords are so clear. It makes me wanna learn mo music :)
Thanks Shohei! Glad I could share this with you!
I like these chords
Wow, what a resourceful channel. I've recently been re-inspierd to make music. This is very helpful for someone like me who is not a music theory expert. Very very helpful
I Loved it!!! Thank you, miking a song out of it
💪🏾💪🏾💪🏾
I'm a newbie when it comes to more advanced chord progressions, but for other newbies like me, if I may suggest, there is a simpler version of this chord progression that works very well: Fmaj7 A7b9 Dm7 E7. The E7 (first inversion) works really well in the last 4th chord, in my opinion it sounds fuller than the G#dim.
lovely chord progression!!
Thank you Saachi!!
Do more of H. E. R piano progressions
Thanks so much for this...it makes my life / job so much easier!
You’re welcome man, glad i could share it with you!
Thank you for helping us . Once and love
Dayumm! Thanks RUclips recommendations! You're a gem, Stefan! Subbed fr💯💯
Amazing video man !
That sounds like SZA too
facts
Flat 9 chords are really cheeky.
Really dope progression. I’ve learned in jazz(still a newbie), your key center can move as chord progress, modulation.. You can start in Dm then modulate to Am. I
Your series are really cool
Thank you!
this was just perfect!!!!
Much love man! 🙏🏾
Very nice, Stefan! I hear a 'Vibe' in this progression that's maybe closer to SZA even.
Thanks Brian, I totally feel you bro!
Thanks brother. I always appreciate your instruction. Blessings...
You're welcome! Thanks bro 🙏🏾
amazing
Yooo keep these coming 🔥🔥🔥
Thanks brother! 💯👊🏾
Stefan Guy No problem man, big fan 🙏🏾
wait oh my god i just figured it out!!!!!!!! when dreamy says oh my god steven/stefan ambatuka-am he is talking about this guy, his teacher!!!! THATS WHY THIS IS IN DREAMYS PLAYLIST
A7b9 can be substituted by an E Diminshed7 and the G#Diminished can be substituted by just a G7.
Wonderful stuff. this resonates with me
Thanks, happy to share!
Amazing. Wish I could play. 😢
Thanks Nesta and you can! It just takes practice and patience!
I was like you three years ago and I decided to try to learn to play I would watch like five of these a day until I set my mind to do it I brought a seven dollar keyboard from the Salvation Army and I would take it out and practice a song until I could move from one chord to the next without messing up and that was three years ago.
nesta wylde. If you really want it you can do it I did make up your mind and start going to discount places look for a cheap keyboard 🎹 just incas e it just a fad or your music store start looking keep watching and say to yourself I wanna learn how to play! That’s what I did and how I can play 15 songs and still learning if you really really want it it’s yours!
another thing u can do is play A7#5 at the end (F as the top note) which will lead nicely back to the E on the top of the Fmaj7 chord :)
fooking sick bruv! this iwill help me in deephouse!
Thanks brother! Glad I could share it with you!
Fantastic tutorials Stefan, keep up the great work!
Thank you!
Thanks for the help! Keep em coming!
That diminished chord instantly sounded like her 😂
you are a great teacher bro
Derrick Brown thank you brother!! 🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾
Dope chord progression to add to my arsenal! Thanks man.

Hey Fabian, thanks for the support bro! Welcome to the channel, more videos coming soon!
Only a few seconds in- you got a new subscriber!
combofriend thanks so much man! Glad to have you on board! New content dropping soon! 🙏🏾
I never knew you could use A7B7 as a link chord to the D minor. I always used it for D major. Useful!!!!
You should need to get the s88 of NI kontrol !!
You’ve making great videos Bro , BTW !
I’m not a piano player, but you inspire me to find that sound on my guitar. Keep up the good work 👍
I think this is in the key of A minor, I know the chord isn't there, but the F7 chord at the beginnig doesn't sound so stable, plus we never have the dominant chord to it (C major). What we do have is the G#dim7 which can function as a dominant to A minor. Moreover it comes after the Dm9 chord, those 2 can function as sort of a cadence to A minor (the G# in the bass doesn't really make it a cadence but it can sound like one). Not only that, after the G#, we have A in the bass, so it almost resolves to the home key, but the upper voices already lead to the next chords.
@@davidfaustino4476 A minor is not the same as C major, not everything in A minor is in C major, actually nothing is, and nor is it vice versa.
the first chord is always stable because there is no context yet. you cant find a key with just this, you need melodies and bass
@@MrFree-vj8qj since when the first chord had to be stable? Music is not as simple as that
This is cool I'll definitely use these. I didn't know people made videos for this. Thanks!
Loving these, Stefan! This one reminds me of Caretaker by DRAM and SZA a little bit...those first few chords at least.
Hey Justin, thanks bro! Ah I need to check that song out then!
