Your presentation is informative but humble. I like "I'm here to show you all I KNOW" - a subtle but huge difference from the "everything you need to know" promised by some of these other hyped-up know-it-alls. Acknowledging that the music we love is too much for any single mind to fully grasp and that we are all students. Good job Noah!
Thanks I appreciate the kind words. To be honest, I've probably said everything you need to know before (and I would imagine that most of those who do mean well) but I agree that it's important to be humble and respectful of this music. Like everyone, I have certain strengths and weaknesses and without a doubt, gaps in my knowledge, so I'm always open to learning more and excited for learning from others as well. I certainly do my best to let you all know when there's something I'm unsure of as well. Thanks for your comment and for watching my videos, I appreciate it.
@@NoahKellman yeah I do. I often get people discouraging me from thinking modes when improvising instead telling me about arppegios and pentatonic scales and really emphasising the target notes, do you think that's a good way of approaching soloing, particularly in a Neo Soul / Jazz context?
Complete beginner here. I figured that, if I was going to have a hard time learning the piano, I might as well doing it while listening to something good. I like your sound (and the simple explanations). Watched a thousand neo soul videos before I landed on this one. And also, thanks for the added color keyboard on top. It makes it easier for newbies to follow.
Hey Noah, thanks so much for this channel. You've helped me get out of my comfort zone and start learning new techniques and I can't thank you enough. Keep it up, don't know what I'd do without it
As a man in his now mid 50s and getting back into playing the piano, I am SO so very glad that this video was my introduction to your channel, Noah!! I mean, I guess I typed in "Neo Soul." I mean, Wow!! I'm so excited to practice and learn these progressions!!
These are great man! I’d love to see a video on keeping track of your key signature in these progressions, and possibly how to transition between some varying key signature progressions. 🙏❤️
As I am a self teached piano and musician learner, I never would have reach your point. Ummm, interesting perspective. I will take it into account from now on. Thanks for taking your time and put it ‘ion paper’. As always you open my mind to new musical ideas. Thank you again
Thank you soo much! Please more of these quick and beautifull technique/voicing changes 🙏🏾 alot of usefull information in this vid! Stay healthy, hope you are doing good Noah.
@@NoahKellman Love it, and getting there!. 13th sus4 has always been a favourite sound of mine. Great that you worked it into these latest Neo Soul progressions - got sidetracked and am learning the first two already haha.
My guy 💪🏾, the help to my Neo-Jazz growth, I appreciate these vids and your ability to teach 🙏🏾✨. I definitely enjoy the content you give. 💯 #Everyday1%better
man its so funny that you are saying "this one is cool" etc and meanwhile im almost in tears at how beautiful ur voicings are hahaha. the last one sounds like the music in heaven. thanks for sharing brother
@@NoahKellman Moving these voicing around in intervals like thirds. Trying to incorporate them into songs I know. And trying different inversions. For example for that min 11 voicing, inverting the maj add4 triad that is build on the BVII to get a nice effect.
A-Maz-Ing progressions! So heavenly it seems irreverent for me to learn them. But I'm going to! I'll probably pass out playing them. Thank you Mr Kellerman
Hey Noah, I think that you are THE BEST piano channel on youtube! You know so much more than other piano teachers on youtube and you teach very well! I have a question: I'm aware that you've done a how to play like Oscar Peterson which by the way was REALLY in-depth and amazing to watch! But I was wondering if you could do a video explaining Oscar Peterson's c jam blues night train solo. I have managed to figure out that there is a sequence of 12 bar blues then 4 bar break then 12 bar blues and so on but I would really appreciate a breakdown of his techniques! Thanks
Hi Noah. Thanks for the videos and the breakdowns. Super impressive. I would like to know what is the name of the software you use that presents that digital piano on your screen
Hey man great work here I learned the first progression and wanted to know if I could use it on one of my beats and actually use it for sync licensing(tv show etc)
Hello Noah. I’ve been following you for a long time, and I’ve bought several music packages from you. Always providing great and fresh ideas on music, jazz and neosoul. Thanks for sharing. One question/doubt from my humble point of view. On progression 5, of course I have steal it for my repertoire, the chord Ab F B E sounds spectacular, but youre naming it Abdim. For me its a kind of Fdim /Ab. What I’m doing at playing is adding after your chord the Ab F B D, with one finger movement, the real Abdim. Thanks for your feedbak. Carlos
Hey Carlos, thanks for the comment and the support! Good question. If you think about F and Ab diminished 7 chords, they actually share the same exact notes (F, Ab, B and D). I could see the argument for tons of specificity to actually call it Fdim(maj7) / Ab, for example, which would include the E in there! But for me, I feel the overall sound/tonality of the chord is Ab diminished because it shares so much with F anyway. So, maybe that's not a perfect theoretical answer, but that's how I think of it anyway! Perhaps a theoretician can weigh in here too if they see this conversation. For me though, calling it Abº7 makes sense, even though I'm playing an E instead of D. Does that all make sense?
Hello Carlos, when I was young, I was cofused with this kind of voicing (and the naming). But the I figured out simple rule. Dim chord = whole tone/ half tone scale. So E is an extension of the diminished chord. Play Ab dim7 in left hand, then add G dim7 in the right. Hope it helps. Brazilian guitar players use a lot of this (like Ab F B E, from the bottom). They call it Adim7 b13
This is great! Very Robert Glasperish. I'm trying to memorize these progressions. I was wondering, how do I know which scale I should use to improvise on this?
This video is an incredible tool, thank you so much. I’m a producer working in ableton live and mapping these chords to actual single pads on the push. I’m wondering if you or someone here can tell me the key signature of each example. The first two seemed to work well in C min, but not sure if that’s correct or what key the others are. Thanks so much for publishing this, I absolutely love this style of music with the rich chords. I’m a drummer by the way so please excuse the beginner questions.
I would love to hear Diz and Bird or Hawk-any of those guys and for sur Pres play on top of these sounds. I am sure they would sound great! I think Braxton Cook is really making some great music with this amalgamation.

As soon as I heard these progressions, I subscribed. This is what I have been looking for.
Those progressions are beautiful bro. The second one reminds me of Glasper's playing
Thanks, Kabelo! Appreciate the comment. Do you have any questions about anything I can help with?
@@NoahKellman yeah I do. I often get people discouraging me from thinking modes when improvising instead telling me about arppegios and pentatonic scales and really emphasising the target notes, do you think that's a good way of approaching soloing, particularly in a Neo Soul / Jazz context?
The second example does have some Robert Glasper inspired by

I discovered your site .So helpful and beautiful playing. Very useful to me ! Great work. Greetz from Holland
5:53 i believe that was supposed to be Emin11 not Eb -- cheers noah!
Thank you! 😍 I subscribed to your channels both on insta and here.
I really appreciate this Noah! Thank you ✌🏿
yes I should really start incorporation these voicing more they are so flexible.
Yeah absolutely! What have you been trying to far to work on them?
@@NoahKellman Moving these voicing around in intervals like thirds. Trying to incorporate them into songs I know. And trying different inversions. For example for that min 11 voicing, inverting the maj add4 triad that is build on the BVII to get a nice effect.
Very Robert Glasper-ish ! amazing !
This is so educative sir
Thanks for the comment glad you’re finding it useful!
Beautiful. The dynamics used herein and overall rhythmic pulse are also important factors here.
A-Maz-Ing progressions! So heavenly it seems irreverent for me to learn them. But I'm going to! I'll probably pass out playing them. Thank you Mr Kellerman
You're quite welcome, Windsor. Glad you enjoyed it. And not at all-- I'm sure you can get these under your fingers.
thank you
Ari Aster cooking 🔥🔥
Brilliant!
No.2🔥🔥🔥
Awesome.
I'd love for you to analyze something off Marc Cary's "Rhodes Ahead"

Hermoso video y buen toque . Gracias Noah.
Beautiful video and nice touch.Thank you Noah.
You're very welcome, Victor. Thanks for the comment
Hey Noah, I think that you are THE BEST piano channel on youtube!
You know so much more than other piano teachers on youtube and you teach very well!
I have a question: I'm aware that you've done a how to play like Oscar Peterson which by the way was REALLY in-depth and amazing to watch! But I was wondering if you could do a video explaining Oscar Peterson's c jam blues night train solo.

Hey Leon, thanks so much for the kind words and support! I will definitely keep that in mind for a future video :) I love the idea.
Great stuff!
Love it man! Super helpful to be able to get a visual on this sound
Thanks for the comment glad to hear it’s helpful!
Amazing advice!
Thanks again, Noah!
You’re welcome, Beka!
muy bueno hermano
Great performance, great Noah.💯

Absolutely fabulous Noah...I want to cancel my schedule and work on your material all day! Thanks!!
Very cool progressions. Would sound cooler on Rhodes !
Nice. Thanks for making this.
You're welcome. Let me know if you have any questions!
Another great video! Thanks!
You’re welcome! Thanks for the comment
Hi Noah. Thanks for the videos and the breakdowns. Super impressive. I would like to know what is the name of the software you use that presents that digital piano on your screen
Man.....These progressions are so dope! Everytime I like one you play another and I'm like geeesh....LOL!!!!
Ah man thank you! Appreciate that glad you're enjoying them.

Hey Noah...I believe 5:55 is an Emin11 no? In any case...great stuff again man!
Ahhh yeah totally! I seem to always have a chord name wrong hahaha the editing process can be a lot to take on so I usually miss something
Thanks for pointing that out!
Dope indeed
