I'm using a Nord Stage 4 rhodes with a little reverb on it

@ thank you

You've got it and you're correct that they're basically the same concept. This was a bit easier to teach to beginners, but falling fifths, as _thoroughly decribed_ in Seth Monahan's video here - ua-cam.com/video/WcpR5TpG7Ig/v-deo.htmlsi=qur2zyNvBudk-hDh - breaks it down nicely.

Thanks for watching! 🙏

Hey Cedric! I’m so glad to hear the videos resonated with you and your support means a lot! If you find the content valuable, sharing it with friends would be amazing. Keep watching, and feel free to ask any questions along the way! :)

Thanks for your question and good point about modes. In a typical 2-5-1 progression in a major key, it usually goes: the 2 chord is minor, the 5 chord is often a major 7th (like G7 in C major), and the 1 chord is major. However, depending on the mode you're using, the qualities of these chords can change. For example, in some modes, the 2 chord might still be minor, but the 5 chord could have a different sound. So while the standard is minor-major-major, there are definitely variations based on the musical context. Hope that helps!

Ha, thanks Nathan! Also, checked out your channel and your office looks super cool... especially that bike hanging up behind you 🚲

Great idea - I'll add it to my list!

Ruth!! _Thanks_ for watching (and commenting!) 🙌 I'm finally figuring out how to consistently put this together. Let me know if there's ever anything you'd like to hear more about.

Definitely! It could also be an F#Ø7.

Great to have you and please reach out if you have questions!

Love it! I recently did a small video on tritones (ua-cam.com/video/WhZ5jGcwACo/v-deo.htmlsi=7JGe29P1W2BSZUmF) though I kept it to one substitution this first time :)

I love hearing that this made sense and thanks for your awesome comment, @EBeyond! 🙌

@@dnlwht can't wait to get home and apply it! You got a knew follower 🙌🏾

Thanks so much!

Fun - let me know how it goes for you! :)

Thanks for your question! I’m not sure I mentioned that the Dm would be any different if the key changes to F, but if I did, that was a mistake! The main point of the exercise is to explore potential _passing chords_ . I think I used Dm as an example of a chord for you to _end on_ after you've played a couple _passing chords_ first. If I'm remembering correctly, the example with the Dm is towards the end of the video. Let me know if you have more questions or if I'm not understanding what you're asking :)

​Correct me if im wrong but the Dminor does function differently in key of F as 6th minor aeolian rather than the key of C where its the 2nd minor dorian. Good video ​@@dnlwht

Thanks @darrellscott1101 - you’re the first person to ever send me one of these! Really appreciate it!

It's true, but I don't mind a little simplification as we’re trying to help people see possibilities in their playing & as they look at the keyboard 👍

Thanks @kobbynyce! Love hearing that it was helpful 🙌

Thanks so much for tuning in!

Tell him Dan says ‘thanks’!

So glad it resonated with you! 🙌

Yes, you can use Em as it’s the diatonic option, but as we’re looking for interesting passing chords, E major is also an option. Really any quality of chord - major, minor, augmented, diminished - is a possibility with this idea :)

This concept is based on the note / chord you're landing on. If you're playing in the key of C and the song is landing on A (or 6 minor) think about the A scale before playing the 2 5 1. So in the key of A, the E chord is a major (because G# is in the key of A and not G). Then one you hit the A, everything is back into the key of C. It's a little confusing at first but it will come more natural with muscle memory / practice.

@@jeffmit2675 Great explanation!

@@dnlwht Thanks!

Thanks!

Great question! The formula 7-3-6-2-5-1-4 is designed to _help you find passing chords for any target chord in a major key_ . It's similar to the ii-V-I progression, but it's more about providing options than playing through it strictly. In the key of C, if you're moving to Am (the 6 chord), you can use Bdim (7) and E major (3) as passing chords. However, you could also simplify and use just one passing chord, like E major (3), before your target chord of Am. If your next target chord was Dm (the 2 chord), then you could use Em (3) and A (6) as passing chords. Again, you could simplify and use just one passing chord, the A major (6) before your target chord of Dm (2). Remember, these passing chords can be of any quality-major, minor, augmented, or diminished-and aren't limited to diatonic chords (chords based off the key). Here are a few examples to try: Em (3) to A major (6) E/G# (3) to A major (6) Eø7 (3) to A/C# (6) Experiment with different qualities, voicings, and the number of passing chords to see what sounds best for your song. Happy playing!

Thank you so much for the explanation 😊

@@tinagustafsson1417 Happy to help and let me know if you have further questions 😊

Thanks so much @Minolta_Andy for your kind comment. Happy to do this!

Only if you subscribe 😉

Glad this was helpful for you!

I'll try to explain without using words next time 😏

@@dnlwht yeah, don’t talk, and get rid of those pesky chord symbols, and we can GUESS what you’re doing. Seriously, excellent presentation

Great video, plz keep speaking 👍

@@billp314 🤣

@@ChristianDanielsson2.0 I appreciate it and I'll try to make sure I leave space so everyone can hear the examples without my voice too 🙂

I'm glad you're here and the 'half step' approach is a great way to think about it!

@@dnlwht would love to see something down the road about how you practice inversions! any tips on how to think of "shapes" or how you visualize them would be awesome! keep up the great work!

Glad you like them and please reach out with questions!

@@dnlwht thanks Dan, do you teach lessons online?

I'm not currently, but if you're subscribed to the newsletter, simply respond to one of my emails and I'd be happy to help you figure out your next steps.

Hey @PurelyInstrumental - thanks for pointing that out and your kind words. The link should be fixed now 🙏

You're quite welcome. Glad it's helpful!

Thanks Jonathan! 🙌

You're welcome!

Love to hear it!

Thanks so much, Charles!

Thanks for watching, Francesco! Are there any specific examples you have that you'd like to hear more of?

@@dnlwht yes a similar progression but in a minor key, Besame Mucho or any simple minor song would be a good framework for your passing chord system ☺️

You're welcome!

You're welcome and I'm so glad to hear that this is helping you play more!
