    7) 5:43 --> | I - VIIb - | IV - - - |
    8) 6:46 --> | I - I7/VIIb - | IV/VI - IV - |
    9) 7:21 --> | I - I7/III - | IV - - - |

      Absolutely DonHalli. I was so blown away by the number of single chords you could put between a 1 & 4. But when I got over that I started to notice the fills; definitely the icing on the cake - as if the cake wasn't enough. Beautiful!

    I'm loving revisiting this, even just listening to you playing the straight C > F with that great extra syncopated note just blows my brains.
    I can't tell you how much your tutorials have blessed me! I get so much pleasure from the piano now.

    The interjection of the A-flat creates such an interesting and unexpected sound. Because it's uncommon (but still appealing), its use in a song would make it distinct and memorable. I think it's waiting to be included in a hit song.

    i am not a trained musician, just play the guitar as a hobby but i like your lessons very much...honest and simple yet packed with ready to used ideas..your a great piano teacher.. probably the best on youtube especially for beginners & novices. I am astonished at how the inserts to the simple progression can sound so different in particular the untypical C -Ab-F ...it sounds james bondish. keep 'em coming.

  • @MrSonicAlchemy
    @MrSonicAlchemy Рік тому +1

    Excellent video with so many ideas to explore. I would love to know the theoretical basis for these chordal ideas. Some of them are obviously fairly straightforward but it would be cool to know why many of these chords work in the progression the way they do. Thanks as always for sharing your knowledge. You are providing an invaluable resource for musicians at every level.

  • @corbinengelman8854
    @corbinengelman8854 7 років тому

    At 10:53 C -> Em -> F you can add Am for half a bar and then G for the other half to make a cool progression found on the song "Worn" by Tenth Avenue North.

    Shalom dear 'Mangold'!
    Thanks very much for your highly useful, practical lessons.
    Possibly a "broad" question regarding this lesson:
    You present rather short and simple chord-progressions, but you actually play more than a simple pattern/rhythm (not sure what the correct term here is) - RH/LH note-sequences.
    Could you please explain, what is it that you actually do, with both your hands, playing these progressions?
    Possibly, you have another lesson regarding "splitting" of chords to separate notes / chord arppegiation-patterns / adding inter-chord notes?
    (Again, I'm probably not using the correct professional terms, but would assume you'd understand even so)

    Epic tutorial. One of the best ever. Btw for me even A major and D flat minor kind of worked as well. Actually, all regular chords worked somehow when I found the best inversions and played with a good rhythm, just the effect was sometimes surprising or sounded like transposing on purpose.
