Great video! Makes me realise how easily I can miss a key change! Usually when listening to the song at every point I now know is a key change, I always just had this kind of magical, surprised and uplifted feeling where it was like “my mind was not expecting that chord, but I like it! Doesn’t sound like anything I’m used to, but the more I hear it, it becomes even more pleasing” Crazy to know that he’s just changing keys so constantly 😂 I’m a percussionist if you couldn’t tell
I wrote it this way for 2 reasons 1. (Add6 - Add9) Most basic major/minor chords in jazz are never played as simple triads but commonly voiced with the 6th or/and 9th. Even tho you see in a chord chart a simple C for example you have the freedom to voice it as you wish without changing the nature of the chord of course. (../G - ../A) In the ending of Hideaway you can hear a lot of low voices layered in the background. To better reproduce that sound I chose to voice the first 2 chords (C and D) with the major triad 2d inversion on my left, it creates a much fuller sound. So even tho the lowest note here is a G in my voicing, the actual chord remains C because the bass is played on C. 2. Due to my square display format, If I were to precisely indicate the full name of those chords it'd look fine on desktop but most of my viewers being on mobile devices I have to make an effort to keep those chords name as simple as possible so they can be as large and readable as possible.
you can also see at is a modulating series of IV V and a few passing chords. C D is 4 5c C# and A#/D can be seen as closely related to 4 5 of G#, then 5 4 to C# that is misdirected to 4 1 5 to F and then 1 4 1 to D. Without the crazy extensions and modulations it would be a pretty common progression, I V V I IV I, something like C D7 G7 F Bb F/A C7/G F C/E F C. Apparently you can just modulate a step whenever you want since voice leading will permit it.
at the beginning of the song, playing it with my keyboard atleast....it sounds sharp unless tuning down to 432hz. Am I tripping or did he also tune it back up to 440 for the end of the track?
im still new to chords, can someone explain to me how that first cord is C major when there's a D root on the right hand? doesn't that make cord a suspended G somthing or does it make it a C9?? im so confused, any help is much appreciated. very beautiful video regardless, thank-you
This is so good, very informative! Highly underrated
Great video lesson 👍👍 👍

Excellent. Why naming it C when you're playing a Cadd9/G and D when you're playing a Dadd9/6/A tho?

Thank you :) the C# here is a major chord
