    😫🙌🏽 I thank God for you! I have struggled with left-hand chords for years! I had an amazing organist show me some left-hand basics like 20 years ago, but there is so much I'm not proficient with. Half of the battle is knowing what to do besides playing the same thing in my right-hand.

    The dominant 7th chord is the only chord that naturally fits in the major scale, the harmonic minor scale, and the melodic minor scale with the same root note. This is why the dominant chord and its core tritone sound so good together in music.

    @mynamebryan 7 місяців тому +2

    The half diminished can be used with a 4th in the left hand also example: in C - C Eb Gb Bb a 5th is Eb to Bb but Bb to Eb is a 4th ❤ It’s lowkey the main chord that can use all three left hand chords 4th 5th and Tritone. Great video!!!!!

    The fact that the two corresponding notes for each tritone are a tritone themselves is another way to remember them. Music theory is so fascinating..

    Also note, the two keys that use the same tri-tones are themselves a tri-tone! Makes it easy to remember.

  • @MarieLove-z2v
    @MarieLove-z2v 11 місяців тому

    Wow, that makes so much sense. That's allowing the bass player to perfume their role, and not making the bass line sound too muddy. I get it. I see now. Usually my left hand is playing 1 note or 2 notes especially when in the 1st and 2nd octave. I had to figure that out because as you said it sounds muddy trying to play triads or 7th chords in the lower 2 octaves or invert the chords, which takes them out of the octave 2 range. I noticed your longer bass note and tritone chart had inverted chords when calculating all 12 notes. I realized from practicing that certain keys are always complimentary to each other and they invert as you keep playing up or down the piano. The larger shift in octaves is what also either builds tension or eases tension, just depending upon which direction you play, downward or upward. But leaving the bass note out of the equation makes so much sense, to give that honor to the bass player's part. That's under true orchestrated music composition.

    At 12:29.. Enharmonically they are different notes (note names) but the same/similar sound... so, for F#, it is A# and E. For Db... F and Cb, etc then show the simpler enharmonic system.

    I have a question. Do the same rules apply if the bass note differs from the chord? For instance, if the chord is an Am and the bass note is a D. Can we play the full chord since it won't clash with the bass note?

    • @SeanWilsonPiano
      @SeanWilsonPiano  Рік тому +2

      It depends on the slash chord. In your example Am and D bass, that actually forms an Amin9. So you would use the LH rules for a minor chord.

    Quick note, being that I had to cringe every time you said "leff" in this video.
    You obviously know how to spell it/the word!!
    Why you refuse to pronounce the 'T' in left when you say it, is irritating, and beyond me, considering you make an obvious attempt to sound intelligent, rather, (my bad), speak intelligently as it where, only to mis-pronounce a 1st grade 4 letter word , come on bro, it's called a tell. and at your level musically, and intellectually should not be happening.
    keep up the phenomenal work, and speak like you play!
    The world is watching.
