LESSON SUMMARY
As a piano student, how often to you play sus chords? If you're like many students, perhaps not very often. In fact, it's fairly common for piano method books to omit sus chords altogether from the harmonic landscape. Other books that include them may only make mention of them in passing. As a result, piano students frequently have little guidance about how to integrate sus chords into their vocabulary. However, in today's Quick Tip, Jonny will walk you through traditional sus chord construction and usage. More importantly, he'll show you how to use sus chord shapes to play beautiful contemporary chord voicings. You'll learn:
-2 Traditional Sus Chord Types
-Contemporary Piano Voicinings with Sus Chord Layering
-Sus Chord Layering Application for a Chord Progression

Hi my friend i have to tell you that you that you are changing my life with these lessons my name is fabian cosster i am a proud member of piano with jonny i am coming from curacao what i like most is the slide and turns techniqie when i hear a piano improvisation on the radio i van figure out what is going on god bless you i feel very happy to be a member of pianowithjonny
Fabian, does your native language doesn't have punctuation too?
@@NeZversSounds, does your native language not have proper grammar?
@@NeZversSounds bro this is embarrassing, you made a 2nd grade grammatical mistake in a reply shitting on someone’s language 😭😭😭
@@NeZversSounds might want to polish up that grammar before commenting about grammar next time ;)
@@NeZversSounds Does your native language make you an awful person?
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
I don't know if you're aware of the impact your lessons have on so many people.
These are life-changing bits you constantly share. 💯🔥
Man I love your energy 😍 you’re the most enthusiastic piano teacher on UA-cam!
My piano coach and I mention PWJ every week!
Sounds so good! You enjoy to teach. It’s visible. You’re an amazing teacher.❤thanks.
Thank you!
Woah, I've never though about looking at the top part of extended chords as sus chords on their own, this is very useful information! Thanks!
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.
@@henkdevries2002 Awesome reply, real gem.
You'd be a good teacher!
I have seen a lot of jazz videos and this is the greatest one! Incredible how quite complicated math is made as simple as You did!
10/10 video, sus chords are really pretty
Great tutorial. This is a great way to get outside the box, and use new voicings!
As a self taught musician, I like to believe I’ve made it a whole lot down the road by myself. Then I realize the amount of help I’ve gotten from these guys that have been at for years. This is one of those that made a difference to me; before watching it, I felt stuck and like I was missing a piece of the puzzle. Thanks!
Learn your theory back and forth. Then all of this is easy to understand. It doesn't take much to learn.
Those chords are gorgeous! Thanks so much for the great video. I will be using this a lot!
Absolute wonderful lesson. Please don't stop I'm so happy with this type of information especially from an interval listening perspective.
Thank you so much for giving this free lesson! God bless you and your music sir! I hope God fills you with wonderful more music!
great sound. gonna practice this one! thank you jonny
Amazing stuff. Thanks for sharing.
Sooo useful. Thanks! I'll be using these chords in my next compositions for sure!
Love these techniques. Really gives you that Neo Soul vibe. Great video, my friend!
As a guitar and bass player who this was an awesome lesson Johnny! Keep up the good work!
Just Loved your idea
Wow, I love this lesson...Thank You!
Wow!! Talk about a “light bulb moment”! Thank you for this!
Great stuff, thx!
Great trick! Thank you!
great lesson! 🙏
Great lesson Johnny! I've been working with it now for about a week. And I will keep practicing. It's so incredibly helpful.
Have a great day! ❤
Just great, thanks man!
good one,must try it.thanx
I don´t have words to describes how this lesson changeg my mind!
Thank you for share these fantastic tricks! Best regards from Brazil
Jonny, you're a really good professor and your classes are really well presented. I'm learning the guitar and knowing exactly how you're playing those chords is IMMENSELY helpful in transposing from piano to guitar. Thanks a lot 💖💖
Love the video!
This was fantastic. Thank you
You're great dear Johny. Thanks for sharing your talent. It's amazing how with a little variation you can make it easy to play the piano. Thanks for that. Yo
I need more like this 😍
This is gold !!
Love this!
Thank you so much !!!!
Excellent!
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.
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.
Right, so he is adding a separate chord altogether rather than altering it - got it.
Its Cm11, that F is the 11
@@wh0racle3 And the D is the 9th. Cm9 with Sus 4
So in the right hand its a D minor #5 b9 omit 7 or an Ebsus2 with the major 7 at the bottom 🤪
Wow, this is awesome!!! I want to try this in one of my songs. I'm always trying to experiment.
Great video. I'm a pianist and a composer and while I know these chords, I've never seen them constructed as sus variants over a base chord. Nice job and what a great way to systemize the "jazzification" of a standard, baroquesque chord progression!
Thank you Sir 🙏🏽
Thank you, Jonny🌹🌹🌹🌹
Beautiful sonic imagery. You paint murals with your music.
Wow, what a clear explanation. You certainly opened some 'doors'. Need to get this under my fingers and keep exploring further. Thanks for the free lesson.
Awesome! 🙂
Great pacing you’re a fab teacher thank you
All these for free !!my bro ......God bless you
Oh man! when you played that initial sequence in Sus4 chords, that was bloody brilliant!
Very nice thanks
Enjoying this guy's energy and enthusiasm. The kind of guy you'd love to have a beer with. Liked and subbed.
great sound
LOVE THIS!! I don't play piano, but this is applying nicely to my guitar as well. Great idea!! Thx
Good stuff
Way Cool Johnny! Thanks! That was a HUGH help for me….
شكرا جونى
Amazing 😍
You are amazing !
I mainly play poorly to produce music, go in and tweak the midi after to sound right, cuz so many channels presented lessons that didn’t help technique and theory in a way that resonated with me. Your channel has helped tons. Looking forward to trying out writing using these chords
and it was dope. helped make that jazzy sound i was after
Amazing 👍
Magic!
This is great- it's an easier way to remember how to play these voicings.
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.
I play slash chords frequently, most often I/vi without any sus stuff. But this is give some nice stuff to try out as well. Definately will implement it in my playing. Cheers
This is cool..thanks..
Great performance
This is exciting. I'm only three minutes in so far, but this explains a lot of the sounds I love. One example that has been stuck in my head for over fifty years is Joni Mitchell's song "The Arrangement."
Wow, that was such a great explanation. I must get my keyboard working, I'm not on top of MIDI yet.
Wow, I am a guitar player, and subscribed because of the content of this video. This isn't just for piano. Dig it.
Wow. Thanks changing the way I sound.
Excellent 😃😵💫🙌
flamboyant but very good info
You rock Mr May
Even for a guitar player, like me, these are incredibly useful. Just watching this video has given me a few new ideas that I want to play with.
How does he manage to not laugh when saying Sus
I can't stop laughing 🤣🤣 some of us get it some don't. Let us enjoy it while it's not flooded with people like us.
Whoa man, you're a great teacher!
For Major chords would it be fair to say that you're playing a sus 2 of the relative minor over the major chord?
Exactly. Same for the minor chords, you can say you play the sus 2 of their relative major
yes fair.
Cool,jonny,this is good stuff,now I know what a “sus”,chord is,been using em for years,but didn’t know the name,lol,thx jonny.
These sus 2 chords sound amazing
Great video- this really helps a lot- would the sus chords be considered upper structure triads? They really sound great 😊
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?
Yeah the progressions were by far the weakest part of the vid. Pedestrian at best if not just annoying :) Excellent teaching explanation though!
Beautiful and interesting! What I would like to know is there a lesson on how to travel from one chord to the next, like infusing melody (or not) so you have continuous music. Do you know what I mean, Jonny?
You have to develop your hearing. But I would listen first for Bass and go from there.
Love it. So useful. Are the inversions necessary? I guess it’s taste. I’’ll have to return a lot go this video. Thanks.
Great sir. O
One of the Best keyboardist in d world..my.jonny
Olá Jony , vc é muito bom ... seu curso tem legendas em portugues?
To be strict about the names, the chords should be named like this. The video is truly helpful tbh :)
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
Since tomorrow is the 6th, I'll try it. I'm still a little sus though.
I’m new and I’m un a free trial right now and I’m already loving your website and everything it has to offer and was thinking of getting a membership. Will we get an email about the 50% off?
3:03 Boards of Canada - A Beautiful Place out in the Country
Great ideas, thank you for sharing. I find it difficult to block sound out so the backing music makes listening to your words harder.
Thanks for the lesson. I was wondering which model Yamaha monitors you have there?
Wow 👏
I was always like what in the heck is that sharp 9 flat thirteen chords in Stevies songs. now I now its stacked suspended chords. Thanks now I can flex when I play
Have used the minor one long ago. The other two are new to me.
I dont understand everything but I just copy this! And it sounds great so thank you!
Thanks, nice video! A good example for these chords can be Steve Winwood's "Back In The High Life Again" ;) All the best...
I'm a guitar player and I like learning about these chords
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...
