    For techniques 1 n 2 another way one can think of the the sus chords being applied is to add the sus2 chord of the relative minor/major chord
    Eg. for Dmin u play Fsus2 (Dmin n Fmaj are relative keys
    Same for Cmaj (u play Asus 2)

    7:00 - just to clarify. The reason it is called a "CMaj13" chord and not "C13" is because of the major 7th (B natural). The 13th is A, but the major part in the name comes from the major 7th (B natural) and not the major 3rd (E natural). You can still have a C Major chord (C-E-G) with a 13th (A) in it, but if it has a Bb (or implies a dominant chord in some way), it would be C13, and not a CMaj13b7 or something wild like that.
    I think your explanation of why it's considered a 13 chord is spot-on, but I think you glossed over why it's a CMaj13 and not just C13 or even a Cadd6

    • @henkdevries2002
      @henkdevries2002 2 роки тому +4

      yeah, this also works with triads, on dominant chords you can play a lot of triads to get certain sounds, major triad on 6 (13b9), triad on 2 (13#11), triad on #11 (13, #11, b9), triad on #5 (#5#9), triad on #9 (#9) and if your jacob collier you can also play a triad on the 3 (#5, add maj7) that about all the major chords I can think of for dominant chords.

    2:51 To those watching: This is not a Csus2 chord. It's Cm9. The difference being Jonny's *added* the 2 (or 9 in this case) as well as the 7. These chords sound completely different, which is why chord extensions are so important.

    • @audas
      @audas 2 роки тому

      I am really confused. At 3:48 he plays a CmSus2 yeah - but with an F - surely that is the Sus 4th as he has added the F, one step down from the G ?
      He even goes on to say that it is the B flat sus 4 ?
      Maybe I need to watch the end....confused.

    • @audas

    this is a really good video thanks! what I learned to do is flip the minor 7th on the sus2 minor chord in the right hand down one octave and you have a nice bluesy jazz sound. So like the Bflat in this case if you are ding a Cminor 7th in the right hand i lower the Bflat down one octave but still play that chord in the right hand and the left hand does a blues thing.

  • @ginamarie6977

    13:01 First off, this is a nice chord progression! A classic I IV iii vi ii V I. And I like the way you use quartal voicings in your examples.
    But from a compositional standpoint that last G7 (#9 b13) doesn't sit right with me, seeing as we've just heard that same chord in the previous bar. I'd maybe swap it out for a tritone sub, like C#7(13 #11). Would that work? I'm going purely by ear here btw, it's 2 AM here and my kid is asleep in the next room. Or you could do a back door 2 5 1 maybe? a dominant chord from the b7?

    Sus layering technique:
    Note: fifth can be omitted for voicing
    m7sus:
    - Play sus2 on minor third
    - Play sus4 on dominant seventh
    maj7add6 or maj7add13:
    - Play sus2 on sixth
    - Play sus4 on third
    dominant seventh (#5, #9):
    - Play sus2 on b6th
    - Play sus4 on b3rd

    that supercrunchy dominant b13 doesn't resolve well to the pure I, what would be a good I chord upper extension to go to if you wanted to resolve the tension somewhat? I my guess something that still has plenty of tension, but less...
