The thumbnail was so captivating, you were just staring into our souls
Right?? No flashy attention-grabbing clickbait thumbnail, just a guy who loves what he does looking right at you
Right? I just looked into his eyes and listened. This man has a gift.
The comma is killin me tho
Yeah, I just stopped scrolling and stared at the thumbnail for 3 minutes. Theres something beautiful and wise behind his eyes.
On a side note, I should get some sleep. It's 3am.
I thought he was gonna rob me.
yo why does it feel like ur holding back the craziest laughter the whole time lol
Lol I can see that
Dead 😂
Smiling with his eyes
Literally. Makes me wanna get weak
lmao i can't unsee it now
Also it’s important to not be afraid of music theory. A vocabulary for analyzing makes learning and writing way faster and easier.
100%. They definitely can coexist.
true and do not afraid to memorize thing like i was used to use formula while working with scales. but then i spend around one and a halft months to memorize all the minor and major scales and learn playing them on piano and it really helped me in my improvisation journey
Are there ways to experiment with voicings like this on guitar?
@@arunkarthikma3121Yes. Google this:
Major 7 voicings guitar
Minor 7 voicings guitar
Dominant 7 voicings guitar
Especially major 7 voicings are so beautiful on their own to play with. But the real fun starts when you combine these voicings to create chord progressions that will sound new and fresh to the ear, even if it is as simple as, say, a 1 6 4 5 chord progression. Have fun!
@@arunkarthikma3121 Absolutely, but thinking in triads isn't very natural on guitar. Instead start by taking the chord shapes you already know like E, C, A, D and their minors(although Cm shape isn't really used) then figure out what the voicings of those shapes are just as they are.
eg. An E shape chord is 1,5,1,3,5,1 = E,B,E,G#,B,E
Then, you can add 7ths, 9ths, 11ths etc by taking one of the notes and moving it.
eg. From our E shape above, we can take the 2nd '5' (open B string in our example) and move that up to the major 7th (D#, 4th frett) to give us an EMaj7
You could then take the 2nd '1' (2nd fret D string in our example) and move that up to the 9th (F# also 4th frett) to give us a really nice EMaj9 voicing
you just broke down 7th chords, tensions, inversions, and open/close voicings in the most accessible way I've literally ever heard it explained
3:14 that chord progression is so beautiful
Clear, calm and concise lesson. I've been slacking too much and I need to get back into practice.
Wow, thank you 🙏🏽 Let's get back to it. It's never too late.
This video came up on my feed and something told me I had to click it. This video turned out to be the answer I was looking for.
Sometimes it’s cool to revisit what you already know!!! Sometimes come across a new way to voice!!! Those are some of my favorite chords!!!
🎯 facts.
Brotha, you are extremely blessed with gifts! Your demeanor when explaining, the detail in context, and tackling topics that certainly help us producers. Thank you! 🙌🏾
I'm glad you found it helpful. Thanks for watching it man.
I LOVE THIS SM THANK YOU
@@RogerSimonI'm an aspiring artist
Came for beautiful chords, remained for this beautiful man
OH, he's a rocket scientist and HE develops software? Gets to be a monk with a piano too? Homie need a buff. With love homie. I've been playing everything in C major and felt like an amateur because I really resist music theory because it feels so much more complicated than it has to be. This really gives me the tools to make any chord, rather than learning the music theory and playing all the scales, it felt overwhelming. But this makes it seem so much more accessible, I feel like this one video is an efficient way to progress forward exactly the way I would like to (whether for better or worse) and I appreciate you giving me this opportunity. Stay OP dawg and godspeed, thank you.
he says he is all those things, is he though?
Music theory is not more complicated than it has to be. It’s only as complicated as it has to be. Some teachers, like this gentleman, are better at communicating it than others.
I greatly hope that people will not shy away from music theory, but take it on. Don’t try to get by without it; build your fundamentals.
I love how you explain things, super clear and soothing
Every chords and progressions came from the soul... I love it.
thank you so much for these videos. you’re teaching me so much!!
thank you!!! will definitely be sticking around.
Nice introduction. A quick explainer how this "beauty" arises: Every note has overtones. When a chord is played in close position, those overtones overlap and clash more easily. Spacing the voices more openly creates space between those overtones, reducing or avoiding those clashes and making the whole thing breathe. This also helps you add more instruments or a singing voice to an arrangement.
When you went from that diminished to the minor chord progression, I felt that in my spirit
Excellent format, keep the consistency.
This feels like a bridge to the world of professionalism, and it feels reachable! I'm encouraged 😊
Very inspiring to explore more on top of known progressions and feelings. Cheers!
This video was a revelation for me. Thank you so much, it unlocked a lot of ideas for me.
Appreciate the lesson. I feel like I learned a lot to experiment with.
Brilliant! Thank you, Roger.

Okay the Cm11 chord is fucking nuts man WOW
Great stuff - thank you
It could help to further communicate your system by explaining why you are choosing to rearrange certain notes.
Hey man! Just discovered you through this video, absolutely loved it and your improvisation.
I’m sure it’s just “play more”, but would love to learn how to improvise like you, where every progression and melody feels so emotional and rich. I feel like i tend to drift towards happy upbeat sounds when i play
WOW! Your approach, pacing, and delivery are amazing, super clear and concise. Just subd, thank you + keep it up 🚀
Super dope thank you
Wonderful! Many thanks

Thanks for making this great video! As a non-keyboard player voicing is the thing I really need to work on
chill ass workflow
Man, this video was amazing! I’ve always said if there was an instrument I’d like to learn to play, it’s the piano. Watching this video inspires me to take initiative already!
This is exactly what I’ve been looking for.
You just don’t know how helpful this video is to me. Thank you.
Thanks for watching! I'm glad you found it helpful.
You sir have caught my ear and subscription!
Love the video mate, new subscriber alert.
You’re doing amazing work, please keep going!🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾
Preciate it!
colorful harmonies 😍
This is the exact video I’ve been looking for
Liked and subscribed. Beautiful playing style.
came over here from ig. love your content, keep up the good work 👍
Nice Roger, thank you :)
got a new subscriber my bro. you're the chord doctor dude!
Nice! I like how you showed the differences in voicings. Perhaps you could do a video on different voicings?
appreciate you bro. Thank you for all you share 👊
I appreciate you, my guy! Your support means a lot.
I love playing with chord voicings.
Unfortunately I play a 4 string bass.
I’m always trying to find ways to create pleasing sounds using odd voicings and harmonics.
It’s really gratifying to find a way to play a piano piece on the bass.
awesome video about chords and beautiful voicing in minor 11 chords thank you so much
🔥 As a guitarist this is super helpful also.
Suh dude! This is really eye opening! Fabulous sounds as always! ✨✨✨🔥🔥🔥
I appreciate it! 🙏🏽
i like how you break it down brother
I love this video so much! Wonderful explanations, and the video is so relaxing. You're like the Bob Ross of harmony
Wow, thank you!
thank you for this! Simple and practical
Thank you!
Damn i never realized y could do it like that lmao
Soo good
hey there! great video, loved those voicings! I think it'd be very helpful to also see the way you play them, allowing the viewer to also understand the fingerings for these voicings, and not only the theory and the system behind it. Hope that helps :) keeep it up!
Man keep pushing please, if you like it, because i do really!!! Love.
10 seconds in, already subbed. I'm a string player (bass violin viola) but this is still informative. Maybe I'll learn keys someday! Thank you!
Love this video brother, God bless 🔥🙏
I appreciate you 🙏🏽
thanks man
Great video ❤
Awesome

Bro I love the simplicity that you displayed in this lesson! Can you do a lesson or point me in the direction of you showing how to find follow up chords to the ones you start on ?
Thanks man. & I got you!
Thank you....😊
Even though this is a very clear, concise tutorial, your touch and phrasing is achingly good. Subbed, good sir. Thank you.
Wow, thank you! Much love
Nice! Makes me want to see what other theory you’ve simplified
Thank you
