Once I understand these terms I'ma be unstoppable
Lol
You got this. And once you know Jesus you truly will be indomitable 😊
I’ve been telling myself that for years 😂 but music truly does get easier when you know a good bit of theory, it’s almost always an advantage.
@@lowercasepeople49amen
@@jwardbass4452 man Ive seen improvement already! You ain't never lied.
That EB7 sound is so magic
Yes! Adam snuck that in (a "chromatic 7th" sub for the actual secondary dominant A7). Open Studio could do a great lesson on Chromatic 7ths (all of which are as equally part of a key as Secondary Dominants). : )
@@idnemgk chromatic 7th? This is a tritone sub
Yes, thanks! The same thing, different name.
Exactly.
i didnt see an eb7 notation tho? I'm a classical player lmao i think i just don't understand this stuff
it's been 5 minutes since i sat down in the bathroom, and I still haven't finished this short yet. Absolutely crazy that this info is not only free, but packed into such a convenient format. Bravo.
Lol
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 RIGHT
The video loop is pretty seamless as well
Haha that's what I said too
What I was thinking…😊
Yeah I’m pretty sure that was the point haha a seamless transition in two ways
On theme, y'know?
Facts
1st: Cmaj7 Am Fmaj7
2nd: Cmaj7 Am C7 Fmaj7
3rd: Cmaj7 Am Gm7 C7 Fmaj7
4th: Cmaj7 Am D2/F# Gm7 C7 Fmaj7
5th: Cmaj7 Am Eb7 D7 Gm7 C7 Fmaj7
This is amazing, but it's made more confusing by adding a D/F# chord instead of a simple D and in the last example a tritone substitutions from A to Eb. Break it down in the simplest way possible
I agree - especially the tritone sub.
@@MatthewHarris47Yeah, but if there are two things jazz nerds love it's secondary dominants and tritone subs. He had to use it somewhere.
@@christopherkettlewell7386 you could tritone sub any of those and it would make some interesting progressions. In that situation it works well because otherwise he would be going from A minor to A7, and that would sound more like a modulation and wouldn't be that seamless.
And doing a first inversion on the D is also an arbitrary choice, you can do it on any of the chords you feel like, I like it because of the minor second movement in the bass.
@@christopherkettlewell7386yeah I agree. It’s never broken down well in these shorts. It comes off like a flex instead of earnest or teaching
this is just that how to draw a horse meme.
step one: transition from C to F
step two: become Thelonious Monk
Felt this
That first C7 and the later G-7 and C7 combo is lifechanging
I so appreciate what you folks do. Wanted to play as a kid; mom and dad said no, so I developed as a singer. I hear these changes and I can adapt as a vocalist. But the great loss in my life has been to be a jazz pianist. What you share here feeds me, it literally feeds me, because even as I don't know the terminology, I can follow what you're doing. Easily. Thanks for being here....
I don't know how much you need to hear this but, it's not too late for you to become what you'd like, if you still have this ache to become a jazz pianist, I think you should just go for it!!
@@Akram-b3myes! picking up the piano later in life has brought me so much joy and fulfilment… just give the keys a tinkle, don’t expect too much from it but try to get across the flavour of what you feel (since you can feel it). It’s helpful to have a constraint like only use white keys or only use black keys, or only use one hand and keys within a span of that hand. And focus on expressing with rhythm, tone, and note choice. Good luck!!
Yes! What they are saying! Learn it! Do whatever you can to get the ball rolling! Get a cheap, maybe used (but taken care of) electric keyboard. You don’t need a grand piano anymore to learn piano. 😊
I’m doing the same thing at 34 years old with learning guitar (not just playing it 😉). It’s been the most rewarding thing I’ve done in a long time aside from my beautiful kiddos.
Have fun!!
it’s never too late to pick up an instrument friend
You will surprise yourself with your fast improvement since yout ear is already developed, your hands just need to sync with it👍
The D over F# is so subtle but it kills me in that spread voicing… amazing.
I would also add an E to the D chord
it's already in there @@maunlio
Love how you always play in C so I don’t even have to transpose these chords to steal them
I don't see why it makes a difference
@@LSqrethey default to C so they can just play the white keys.
Whenever he does the ✨✨✨ my brain melts a little
Y'all provide the BEST online music lessons that I've seen in over the last 20 years. Keep raising the bar!
We use this a lot in gospel piano, it’s beautiful
This awesomeness is at an overwhelming level. The concentration is so high I can only dilute it by struggling through the awful UI of trying to scrub through the short so I can follow the notes.
For my pals who have no clue what a secondary dominant is (neither did I, so I googled it), in short it's just a Dominant (V or V7) to the Tonic (I) chord progression in another key from the original. The Tonic (I) chord, however, must be a chord that is in the original key.
This is definitely a huge simplification, but I think this is the main idea!
Thanks .
This is smoother than silk 😮💨
Dude that piano sounds HEAVENLY. 😊😊
even though i understand next to nothing about dominants or whatever, i like watching these videos because they’re very relaxing
Bro just casually playing the most beautiful music ive ever heard
It's safe to say you haven't heard much then.
@@u2santos🤓
I thought that I've seen most of the music tutorials - yours that I've I've seen so far raises the bar - brilliant
Love how music works like that
Wow! I'm obsessed with these videos!!! Been putting these to practice
I love the ✨✨ in the chords
It sounds so beautiful
That loop was actually ingenious. I had to take a physical step back once I realized what just happened
Can I comment that you are talking about seamless key changes while being one of the most seamless youtube short loop transitions that I've ever seen.
Would love if you guys could sometimes include the voicings you're using, that's really adding to the flavor!
YOU GUYS ROCK thank you for all these videos
I'm an advanced theory guy and I still found this wonderful. Subscribed!
Thanks so much for all your interesting chord movement vids.
I have finally found a video that explains a progression I have often heard. I think your voicing and movements are exquisite. Thanks.
I like your words magic man
Perfect “pace” to this vid. I had to stop, rewind and rewatch it, and that’s great, because the alternative is a vid that’s too slow, that over explains things.
Absolute magic. Amazing!
You literally blow my tiny mind every time I watch one of these
Nice spin on “Misty”. Magical✨
Your piano sounds amazing
WOW!
I love when he adds a lil ✨✨ in between
Thanks so much to Open Studio and Adam for what seems to be a terrific joy in sharing the fruits of their knowledge and dedication!!
think i'm love hahaha! Ahhh that harmony just does it for me.....the ultimate uplift, my heart & soul just start singing! Thanks that was amazing.....happy practising to me for the next few months! :D
love the tritone substitution Eb7-D7-Gm
I love you bro you are such wonderful teacher I have adhd and autism so it’s not the easiest for me to learn from videos but the way that you construct your videos is like the sweet symphony
Gave me gospel vibes especially the 3rd variation. Lord have mercy 😮💨
this short just sounds better and better all through, beautiful chord playing!
Ok buddy, you got skills.
So nice.. so churchy.. love it and wish i could do it
The final progression is jazz standard level ❤ beautiful stuff
Thanks Adam...am I write by saying you tritoned the secondary dominant of D....so A was substituted for Eflat
This is exactly what I want to learn. Just had surgery so now I can’t wait to get back to the piano. Thanks.
Just amazing wish I could play like that
Seamles editing too 😊
The elliott smith chord so good
I understand these terms and my poor ass is massively grateful.
Angel's music to my ears, great!
MIND…BLOWING! 🔥
Thanks
These videos are the most reliable way for me to motivate myself to actually practice piano. Its nice. Thank you
You're amazing. Really inspirational.
I'm other words, the secret to seamless key changes is to exist in all keys simultaneously. Easy peasy
still feels like a 1 to 4 journey, but omg magic. nicely done :)
I hear that Eb7 transition in lots of Barry Harris songs. It sounds so full and rich. Very relaxing sound.
I understand which chords to use but I feel like your voicings add soooo much more to that! how can I learn/practice that? using different inversions?
It's just AWESOME!! 🤩 I'll use it tonight at the church 🙏 Beautiful!!
I wish I get to a stage where I understand any of this
Pure magic you sir, are a wizard
Bro, you’re literally my favorite person to watch in the whole wide web
This exercise is EXACTLY what I needed
Sweet sweet music.
Don’t know why I wasn’t subscribed when all of these videos are gold
Bro, you are always blowing my mind with these clips
He went crazy on this one 🔥🚀
Gorgeous. My soul can hear it as well as my ears.
I’ve been struggling in my music theory class, but I know exactly what’s going on here, and that gives me confidence (:
beautiful lessson
I love that ✨️✨️✨️ thing
What a joy to listen to. A Large respect to all those out there who play.
My mind... blown. Gadzuks.
I think you just changed my entire approach at writing songs. Thank you!
I dont know a lot about music but I know a lot about art and I know blending when I see it.
Seamless and flawless my friend 🙏🏼 thank you for your efforts on educating us all here so beautifully.
Gorgeous. And they sound beautiful in church as you changes keys for the next hymn ;-)
So glad the great algorithm in the sky led me to you. Subbed!
Does anyone else not play piano but still love watching these videos because the ideas are so enjoyable to listen to?
Man these videos are gold. I could study just one for a month at least
That tritone sub threw me, super neat though!
This is gold !!! You need to make a whole clip on this..
I have no business watching these but I’m hooked.
Thank you! I love your videos!
after the first steps, the more steps you added, the less "seamless" it was, and more of the transition becoming a big thing in itself
Thought Adam was casually sitting at the piano with his shirt, completely unbeaten and I was like hell, yeah bro.
GRACIAS
Thank you.
Can you do one on how to transition to a relative 4th or some other transposition. ? The idea of transitiong to the common chord might be the same, but im curious what intuitions might look like for reestablishing the new key if the intervals aren't as favorable
Love to you man❤ I love how accessible you make this stuff
You’re a phenomenal teacher.
My god. It was beautiful.
my band director for our jazz band tells us when looking at charts with crazy chord progressions, just find the standard chords in the key, and almost 100% of the time, the stuff in between is just a bunch of stuff to help get there
Listened to it again because it’s just beautiful
I'm just starting and I started with chords. This is beautiful. A good jumping off point for more exploring
