So not sure if you know who J Dilla is but he's the producer who actually made the song for de la soul, he is and will always be one of the greatest if not the greatest of all time in terms of hip-hop production. The sample was actually taken from Ahmad Jamal which is a very very famous jazz pianist. The sample was taken from the end of the song "Swahililand". It's literally at the end of a live performance (around 7min mark of the song) when he plays this sequence. Great job, I love your voicings very well done! I'm sure you made Glasper proud too!
Dude this is awesome. I'm learning the piano now and have done a much simplified version, there will be some time before I'm up to speed with all the music theory but this is so uplifting. Can't wait to see more of your content
Great tutorial..Learned alot..Thanks. But if you have Toussaint's photo shown, please show a photo of the original creator of the song the great Ahmad Jamal. Without his genius we would not even have this song and video to dissect it. If you educate people, please educate them completely. Once again great job !!!
thanks! i wont lie i kind of thought it was like one of the most well known / assumed samples of all time, just kind of figured people would know it haha
Thx for a great tutorial , any change of getting the chords \ notes of the verse voicing that you use. I’m trying to work it out but I’m off on a couple of the chords. Much appreciated
Really helpful video, to the point. I have one issue though with the theory. The tune is clearly in a minor tonality. I think your chart should reflect that. Tune is not in Ab (major). It's in F minor. Coming from F minor, with F as the root chord and coming from the harmonic minor scale (F, G, Ab, Bb, C, Db, E natural, F), all your chords are diatonic with F harmonic minor. This also means that your C chord (C7, which includes an E natural) is simply the V chord, and the E natural is diatonic to the F harmonic minor. Dig?
@@oliverqiu_ Thanks for getting back to me man :) Appreciate your response. I've just started to 'learn' bass so I'll give it a go. Stay Blessed and keep up the quality vids
Man, how can I learn to play this stuff? Recomend any books? Unfortunattely I grew up playing classical. I love Glasper, Jazz, hip hop etc. But my classical background doesn't help!
your classical background does help !! having the dexterity/familiarity with an instrument is a big advantage - but honestly I would say best tip is to just consistently learn tunes and chords you like, the rest will follow 👍 im sure there are some great books out there but I think it's easier to retain knowledge through actual music/tunes
