In case anyone was wondering why 2-5-1, the 2 is itself a fifth above the 5, so you’re cascading multiple 5->1 resolutions. Going from the 2 to the 5 is a 5->1 resolution, followed by another one from the 5 to the 1.
wow, i'm a musician for a years now, and that is the best explanation i've ever seen. Thanks so much for level 5 and 6. They've helped me a lot in understanding.
Bonus level 6 is level 2 and level 5 put together. So yes. 2-5-1 (with color tones). But since level 5 is 2-5-1 without color tones, level 6 is not exactly level 5 after all.
@@royhsieh4307 honestly I was going through some difficult times (what a surprise, a music person!) and this tutorial still reverberates with the pick me up effect from a few days ago. Growing stronger isn't impossible my fellow musicians. Especially when masters like David shine a light on our path!
This is the lesson on chord progressions I've been searching for. Unlocked everything with the simplicity of the explanation in a way no one has for me before. Thank you David!
In Italy we call it "Giro di do", and it's the base of many 60's italian songs, and has also been used later. One example is "Il cielo in una stanza", from the early 60's, and the chorus of "Centro di Gravità Permanente", another incredibly famous italian song from 1981.
Yeah, I'm just learning this stuff and i look at the sheets for a song I can easily sing and... 2-4 chords per bar? Fdim? Oh, it's a passing chord, like literally a note passing between the other root notes.
@@marshwetland3808 Holy shit, exactly the same "issue" I had. I am a guitar player, and I actually DO understand all this stuff, BUT, almost never activley use )if I do, I dont do it "on purpose", it just sounds okay for the mishap it was ;) ) And there it was, right SQUARE in the middle of the forhead of the Elephant in the room: Yes, silly, this is/those are the notes that usually getting sung in your kind of music. Wow. Okay.... So Pianos are good for a thing after all ^^
Melody also dictates your tone colors, and the voiceleading/inversions that you use. I think that was best illustrated in example six, as the moving color-tones acted as a 'psuedo' melody to guide and add context. Id love to see more on inversions, melody, and tonal gravity.
David! Thanks to you, I am finally having deeper understanding of things I hear AND getting a vocabulary to describe them! I always wondered why the "color" of certain chord progressions tickled my moods. I'm starting to be able to put my finger on what is going on. Although I've had this info for a while, it never quite gelled. Keep on doing what you're doing. I am grateful.
Funny thing about that "50's chord progression" that I noticed recently. "Otherside" by Red Hot Chili Peppers uses the famous "Axis chord progression" of Am F C G. However, the melody also fits perfectly the "50's chord progression" of C Am F G, and its quality changes completely, from a slightly moody song to a much more upbeat song. Just try it.
Most pop songs that are built around simple chord progressions like this can be substituted with another chord progression to recontextualize it, an example of a song doing this in song would be Bad Day by Daniel Powter (I-IV-ii-V, then vi-Imaj7-IV-I)
I think this is one of the most enjoyable (and for me personally, useful) videos you've released lately. I think the most developed "level 6" sounds the most pleasing, but I can see mixing and matching the other levels, too... that is, combining the all the tricks so that we don't always use passing chords or 2-5-1 progressions each time we change chords.
Very good video. It opens up a whole new level of understanding for the different chord degrees and how to connect and read them together. Really a very good video. 🙏
08:00 I've been looking for the theory behind this sound or what to call it. I often hear this in Japanese music. I also hear that C Bm E7 thing. It just has enough spice to grab your ear.
This video is PURE GOLD for those of us who have no knowledge of harmony and simply bang on the piano to sing and have fun. It opens the door to understanding many songs and improvising!!! Thank you, David, you're awesome!
OUTSTANDING musicianship David ! I'm a string player for 40+ years so I know passion and dedication when I see it. Keep doing God's work Bro, you rock ArchAngel Michael
What a lesson in harmonization! I kind of understand now the difference in chord progressions that I played for years! Thank you very much! I think the different harmonizations give distinct atmospheres that can be employed at will. They are not necessarily better but rather more appropriate to convey the intended feeling.
David, IMO your videos are the best in terms of didactic quality and visuals. I can watch your videos without any instrument nearby and still can catch the information when get home. Recommended this video for my gf because she is beginning on piano and believe your videos will help. Greets from Brazil. 🇧🇷
I love the sus2. I play guitar with destorsion thus adding too many notes at the same time get messy. So I break them up playing 2-3 notes at a time. But stacking octaves still works fine. But usaly only 4 notes/strings at a time. But i love the sound of sus2.
This unlocks a huge vault of my musical brain. I have been playing chords for 30 years by just playing a lead sheet. This allows me to create my own chord progressions like a pro. Thank you a million.
There was a time not too long ago that none of this made any sense, but thanks to channels like yours every bit of this I understood perfectly, could even predict where you were going next. Cheers! Excellent work
Gosh, wonderful lesson. I learned level 5 about 20 years ago, and forgot it, and as soon as you un-blurred it, I instantly remembered an exercise I used to do where I would take a circle of fifths and Ii-V-I every change, then solo over the changes... brings back some awesome memories.
For that extra jazz progression I lit a cigar and ordered a whiskey. Class. In Baroque music there is often a suspension. It might have been nice to add 7ths to some of the chords using these?
When you hesitated on that diminished chord, I was reminded of the Family Matters opening theme. And the secondary dominants reminded me of "Never Ever" by All Saints. I miss the harmonic complexity of 90s pop.
@@hman2912 Way to state the obvious. I don't miss the actual songs. I miss the approach to composition and arrangement. I miss being able to get excited about what was topping the charts, and not having to dig deep to find anything decent. We've gone from so much great music that amazing songs couldn't even reach top 40 due to so much competition, to songs like WAP topping the charts: something that wouldn't even have cracked the top 200 in the 90s.
this whole time i thought 2-5-1 was talking about the *entire* chord progression, and it never made sense to me. this explanation let me realize that it has to do with the passing chords and THAT’S what a 2-5-1 means. wow. thank you
Love this this !! Most simplest way of understanding how spice or adding more color to the most chords you start of learning and you made so to follow and understand
OH, LORD I ALWAYS WANTED TO DO THIS!!!!! I´ve been playing music for 15 years and this is by far the best and most entertaining music theory video Ive watched... BRAVO! I SIMPLY LOVED IT!
Thanks! The level 5&6 idea was something that was sprouting in my subconscious thinking of what I should learn next: how to jazz up my music once needed. Now that I saw it here, it saved month or two of intuitive trial&error work.
As a studied jazz musician, current arranger and someone who generally finds learning things to be very approachable... Chords were by far the longest and toughest learning experience ive had. When you learn something new about chords you find more questions and opportunities to understand on a higher level. No matter who you are, you will learn new things about chords for the rest of your life if you intend to. This video is awesome, a much more broken down approach to creating sophisticated chord changes. If I had this resource when I was in high school It would have saved me months locked in the shed cramming chords in my ear.
I’d love to see a video that illustrates your thinking or feeling in using rhythm with your more complex chord progressions - that is the strumming and the breaking of the chords. You’re playing and explanations are great.
I've always wondered how jazz songs had so many chords that fit and now this video has opened my eyes to how they came up with all those passing chords. Now if I could only figure out how to play over them 😊
I really enjoyed level 4. As a singer/guitarist (I play by ear) I found it very instructive. The extra chords added a richness to my playing. Thanks a lot.
holy crap, as a beginner music theory person level 5 really blew my mind. i've heard of 2 5 1s but i never thought of adding a 2-5-1 to get to every chord🤯
Thank you! I've been trying to absorb a bunch of music theory that I never learned back when I was taking piano lessons, and I think this video really helped fill in a specific hole in my knowledge about how songs are constructed!
I'm an electronic producer, a jazz enjoyer, and a classically trained pianist. Just as you said, each level is a different option depending on what you're going for; this explanation made the theory of a bunch of different chord progressions that I could tell were related, but wasn't sure how, make way more sense to me. Solid video
No wonder you got million followers. I went thru level 5 with ease ... But that level 6 just blew my mind... I feel like im Stevie Wonder Junior now. .... Now imma put on the work and get those 12 keys on fire. I been watchin hours of videos for too long now and yours has the very best explanation on it. I wish i could be your personal friend. Cant thank you enough.
Okay, I don't usually subscribe to a someones channel untill watching several videos. However you just thought me something that others couldn't. Thank you, I have been spending most of my time producing music on a DAW and less on learning theory however I'm going back to adding an hour or two a day of ideas and theory to add more to my tool belt. Im definitely going to be incorperating stuff that you show. Thank you brother. Musicians rock!
I love how from a very simple progression the end result ends up looking just like Yesterday, which out of context can feel quite complex. This video is insanely helpful.
Big fan of you since last 6 months, what a great video leads us to music world!! Really interested by the level 6 you shared where a A flat7 and Fm7/G followed by the second C9, would be appreciated if you could share the concept behind this progression.. thanks again for all the great videos!
Is the Aflat maj7 the tritone substition of the ii7 (which would have been Dm7) but then not sure where the Fm7/G (G-F-Ab-C-Eb?) comes from. It could be a borrowed iv7 from parallel minor key of C minor, but with the G bass note to give it a more dominant-y sound to resolve to C?
@@miriamtownsley8522 Ahh!!I great point my friend, my understanding is that the Fm is happen to be the parallel minor key of A flat, maybe just an alternative for A flat 7. thank you so much, my pleasure communicate with you here :)
This video (especially the 5th level) really helped me wrap my head around the relationships of some tricky chord progressions. Thanks man! This will help me a lot with the guitar and piano/keyboard (still learning piano/keyboard).
Thank you brother! I am simultaneously practicing these chords on my guitar and they sound superb. And as an intermediate player i'm learning a lot. Respect from INDIA.❤

Hi David, I have a humble request. Can you do a detailed tutorial for the Beatles song 'The long and winding road' ? Preferably the 'naked version'.
In case anyone was wondering why 2-5-1, the 2 is itself a fifth above the 5, so you’re cascading multiple 5->1 resolutions. Going from the 2 to the 5 is a 5->1 resolution, followed by another one from the 5 to the 1.
Thank you!! Great trivia.
nice!
So can you just keep stacking these leading dominants indefinitely
wow, i'm a musician for a years now, and that is the best explanation i've ever seen. Thanks so much for level 5 and 6. They've helped me a lot in understanding.
Great 😊
just spamming 251s doesnt sound beautiful, but its good foundational stuff
I really like how the bonus 6th level is a combination of 2-5-1s and color tones, therefore it itself is a 2-5-1.
"All You Need is Love(of music theory).

no
Wow. Impressive.
Bonus level 6 is level 2 and level 5 put together. So yes. 2-5-1 (with color tones). But since level 5 is 2-5-1 without color tones, level 6 is not exactly level 5 after all.

The "Anime Canon" chord progression

Great!!!
Thank you for this. I really never thought of 2 - 5 - 1ing into the 5 chord (From F to G in this case)

It's because it's jazz dude... You're trying to reinvent the wheel here while Japanese pop music is heavily jazz influenced 🤦

Fantastic! What an array of options, clearly explained in a short period of time. Hard to say my favorite. Thanks.
For those interested in further stages, Adam Neely has a nice sister video to this titled The 7 Levels of Jazz
I learned this at some point allready, but after this video I actually understand it :) Thanks!
This was pretty easy to follow along. I guess a level 7 would be the review of level 6 but with some voice-leading or maybe some quartal harmony.
This just explained everything in my head when I mess around with chord progressions and why it sounds so good when I play them.
Thank you! I've been trying to absorb a bunch of music theory that I never learned back when I was taking piano lessons, and I think this video really helped fill in a specific hole in my knowledge about how songs are constructed!
I don't need another video to explain yours has done a good job
The next step might be modal interchange which could lead you back to the first level but with a new understanding of voicings and voice leading.

Props for using C major scale. It was so much easier to comprehend when you deviated from the original scale.

Is the Aflat maj7 the tritone substition of the ii7 (which would have been Dm7) but then not sure where the Fm7/G (G-F-Ab-C-Eb?) comes from. It could be a borrowed iv7 from parallel minor key of C minor, but with the G bass note to give it a more dominant-y sound to resolve to C?
