Can you do a video on feel? Getting your eighth notes to swing in a jazz style, playing behind in an R&B style and just how to practice your pocket?
Such a great suggestion. YES!
Your ability to keep us focused through your videos is worth mentioning. I like how you start your videos by playing the subject objective. It makes the information easier to retain and appreciate. another reason why I enjoy your explanations is because you seem like a very humble person therefore it translates to how you explain things.
I appreciate that. Thanks, Patrick!
I must say, he sounds must less humble and sober when I play these at half speed!!
Man, I'm so fucking glad I discovered this channel
Me too!
As a self-taught pianist, I've been looking for something like this for a long time. It's been a challenge trying to understand how to really voice chords and trying to figure out all the theory by myself. Your videos (all of them) are so amazingly helpful!!! i hope you continue to make videos for the aspiring musician :)
Great chord prog, just an advise you could highlight the chord symbols (with another color) when your playng over the track just to make it easier for us to follow allong .
Thanks for the suggestion Bernardo!
Jeff Schneider could you also do some sort of color coordination for when you play with right or left hand??
I have had this song stuck in my head literally all day. Great tune you should be proud
Hey Jeff, love your content. I'd love to see some more on the industry side of being a musician. Also, next time you do a progression breakdown, can you talk a little more on the function of the grace notes? You give a very detailed harmonic analysis, but I often feel like the "feel" is a result of the grace notes and inflections you're using. Thanks!!
keep up the good work. i thought the businesses bit was a nice addition. I'd love to see more.
I am a big fan of your videos. The way you explain things are so helpful and practical. Thanks for the bit at the end talking about music business.Waiting for more
Hey Jeff! So 1st off, you've introduced me to new genres that I never would've thought that I would play in my life. Secondly, please make more videos on how to make it as a musician! I really did like the end of this video and would appreciate more videos like this. Thanks!
I am a guitar player but i love these videos, could you please explain in brief what is going on with the chords in the song 'how deep is your love' by bee gees
lol
That little part halfway through the progression where it gets darker as a twist sounds amazing
As guitar player i think your videos are very helpfull to open new possibilities to comp with the guitar, thank you very much for your great and very clear work✌️☺️
Something about that chord progression and the beautiful way you played it just moved me deeply! (and I usually am not a fan of soul-type vibes) You sir are absolutely amazing! Trying to learn this on guitar fingerstyle, it's hard but I hope I can master it soon! Cheers!!
This theory is perfect for my level- which kind of stops at Tritone subs/alt scales etc... thank you this is amazing
These chord videos are so insightful.
What a cool progression! The turnaround is just amazing. Mr Schneider When it comes to soul, you absolutely rock! Great work, thanks so much for sharing!
Love your videos! You have really helped me expand my playing and I am forever grateful
very soulful. Thank you.
Always a pleasure watching your videos very inspirational and exceptionally good!!!! LIVERPOOL UK. Cheers
Thanks, Lloyd!
brilliant once again, now have to take this knowledge and convert it to guitar...
Thanks and good luck!
Jeff you should do a video on how to actually create chord progressions and how you get started making them. Do you just take regular chord progressions and improvise off of them?
Whoever gave this a thumbs down doesn't know music... Or... They don't like R&B, but then why watch the video.
Great video as always man
Thanks for a fantastic video.
What I would be interested in also in the future is how to create such a nice background groove that you did like step-by-step video tutorials please, Best regards
Will do! Thanks for the suggestion.
Beautiful. Love the voice leading top notes! Nice writing!
You gotta check out PJ Morton's new album. Pretty much all about these changes and chords!
As a musician of 50+ years - this is very good advice! btw, the R&B tune was cool too. Enjoyed your Arrangement of God Bless America recently as well.
Love you right know bro.
Thanks jeff!
Really appreciate these videos! I always feel a bit unsure about what seems like breaking rules, but then I see you do the same things or even crazier things haha, really motivates me to just try things :D I seem to write the best things just doing it and then later checking what kind of theory is behind it anyway
Music is less about rules then it is about patterns. You can do pretty much anything in music, just be aware of what makes it what it is, then you can decide what aspects to keep or change at any given time.
Yeah you can do loads of strange stuff as long as you properly establish what you're doing, introducing a real twist to existing patterns can be a tough one but even then I'll often see variations on existing patterns reoccurring under new conditions, after I analyze it
thanks bro! more grace.
More about business ! \o/
Hugs from Brazil
Sounds amazing!
I think your as stuck and amased at all these awesome gospel players out like Cory henry, Sean wilson, Quennel Gaskin, Antuan Walker, and Prettysimplemusic. I hear lots of influence. Wonderful Video, love you stuff. Keep um coming.
Thanks Jeff! I'm a music teacher on school and I use your videos for myself to keep myself sharp on music theory en hearing :) I'm not that great of a pianoplayer, although I can play quite some things.. But could it be possible to see your hands playing when you explain? I'm curious how you play some licks and your left hand :)
Jeff thank you so much ive learn a lot.... From phillipines
Hi Jeff! I want to learn soul music, can you let me know where to start? Thanks!
Jeff keep being a bosssss brutha you da man👊🏼
Will do, Gabriel. Will do.
Amazing vid Jeff... Learnt a lot by watching your channel :)
That's great to hear. Thanks Stephen!
Incredible man! You've been a blessing bro! Thank you 🙏🏾🙌🏾
Thank you, Jay!
Love this guy!
Thanks, Rob!
Jeff Schneider I can see you at a coffee shop with Miles, Herbie, Chic, and some of the greats having some heavy convos. You have a cool vibe and I love the chords !!!
Chic was ahead of their time, but they aren't quite a neo-soul band.
Bravo jeff
Thank you for giving so much value on your vids! Keep on grinding bud :) blessings
Anyone else catch the Jesus Pic when the Gsus came on the screen..... Toooooo funny. Nicely done, Jeff
yes
Amazing :), keep it going. My music get better when I apply yours techniques
So happy to hear that. Thanks!
Nice groove
Please more about sales and marketing
Ribbon in the sky
ha! I knew that lick sounded familiar :)
Don't you really know that lick was from Ribbon in the Sky?
Is one of my favourite R&B song.
Btw you are great and sound great man
IFeeeeelGood my guess is that after listening and playing music for several years he unconsciously picked it up from that song
diggin the music business stuff man
Love it jeff
Thank you, Matt!
Can you talk about harmonic rhythm? That Em A7 C#dim Dm resolved way later than I was expecting.
G'day Jeff, is this video somewhat like your lessons? If so, this is good. Self taught this end it is cool to hear there are actual terms for the details you point out.
what the heck is Jesus doing there at 9:10? lmao
Gsus
lol
btw, great video as always!
Jeff Schneider This is AMAZING
😄👌 awesome vid- I played along & I sent it to my fellow musicians at church- hoping we're going to do it or at least glean bits of it.
sus is all over the place in worship music
Top video, great relevant content. More business ideas please!
Thank you.
G.
can you make a tutorial on how to write/play the notes/melodies in between the chord progressions??
what is the technical term for that?? passings notes??
Do these chords sounds as soulful without all the embellishments, grace notes, and the particular sound you chose?
Also: would be helpful if current chord was highlighted or if you provided a short roman numeral analysis screen at the end.
The c sharp dim movement you use are essentially drop 2 voicings
Please more on making a living through music, I'm struggling myself.
Jeff, are you studying jazz at a school? Or is this all self-taught?
Great vids!
Any musicians looking at making money from your music. Damian Keyes is a great guy to look at! 👍🏼
Do u think u could make a r&b tutorial for the key of B natural
Jeff Schneider, where did you learn how to put together R&B chord progressions? Do you have a book you recommend?
LoLz 4 Gsus @9:09
Great video!
Thanks, Stephen!
I'll likely steal your first four chords for something I'm cooking up (in a different key)... ;-)
Cheers!
Amazing!
Dope! Thank you :)
Do you do one on one lessons?
Thanks for great video!)) Also i like sound of the bass. What kind of VST did you use?
That's me playing a real bass. No VST bass on this one!
My compliment to you! Sound is great!=)
Hey Jeff! Do you happen to have the backing drum track to practice the progression over ?
muito bom
This may be kinda of a dumb question buT how do you come up with this? Are you just so knowledgable or is it just noodling and whatnot. start with the chords first? start with the grove first?
Where does the Gmaj/Gsus fit it the progression?
Do you know a good video collages that will let me play multiple parts at the same time for the whole song
Classy!
Thanks!
Hey, Jeff! How do you like the Novation Impulse controller? I'm looking at getting one and was wondering about your experience with it.
hi,
what kind virtual piano do you use for this video?
Thank you for your videos.
manda um de movimentos de neol soul

Hey, what books would you recommend to get for Jazz on Alto
Do you have absolute pitch, Jeff?
Does anyone know some artists that play like this i could get on iTunes?
LOL man you funny but enlightening Gsus = Jesus at 9:14 And now that chord is stuck with me forever bravo Sir!
love the music theory but if I'm honest, if you go too crazy with diminished chords, chromatics and modulate too much it starts to sound a bit messy
Im playing Mario Bros game.. to this on repeat..
I like your videos a lot however I keep seeing Jesus subliminal in the lower left corner Like @9:14 why is that?
When I first heard the melody I knew it reminded me of something...
Turns out it was the alphabet song my Bill Wurtz
Can u teach the circle of fifths :)
XD
Has anyone made any money after watching this video?
White guy with black soul
Or just a guy with a musical soul
