You all have to see the video and even that’s recorded midway. There’s a bridge with a lead-in with chromatic dominant 9th chords to the Gb9. It caught “Kelly Price” off guard as she came in too early. Then it goes Fmi7b5 to Bb7#9 (or similar altered passing chord), but he throws in a II-V-I, Dbmi, Gb9, Bma7 before going back to that altered passing chord. I play guitar. I had to learn this. Btw guitarists have a natural advantage of playing drop voicing and passing chords due to how the strings are set up. (Yeah its better explained by actually playing I must admit.).
Sean i want to thank you sooo much for your tutorials been playing keyboard here in kenya ( africa ) you have really changed my playing mode may God bless you sean.
For that second example with the F#min variant. There are many ways of looking at that based on musical tastes and experience. I hear variants of B dominant 7. Btw, Those are the same chords for Miles Davis’ Freddie the Freeloader,” except the later is premised on Bb7. (Listen to it and you’ll catch my drift. It's clear Powell is influenced by great jazz pianists such Bill Evans and Wynton Kelly.). From there, he does a II-V-I back to Abmi. Bbmin7b5, Eb7#9, Abmi. B Dom 7 or B7 leads very nicely to that II-V-I back to Abmi. Ok that’s my last comment. I’m not trying to be officious on Sean’s channel. Sorry for being a bored retiree.
To be clear, those chromatic chord progressions for Ex. 3 are the substitutes for that II-V-I to Abmi as I mentioned. A chord progression is path and it should take you throughout the harmony of a song. Indeed, the structure to this song is very simple. It’s basically Abmi progressing to Ebma with a repeating II-V-I motif going back to Ab. If you can hear and know the basic structure, you cannot help but appreciate all the dazzling elaborations. You’re going down a path right? But you venture off to take the scenic more inspiring, more winding route . . . I spilled my coffee upon hearing this for the first time!
Sean Wilson presents music to me that I would otherwise skip. But somehow, your video plays a man that I am used to seeing play differently. I never really listened to him play heavy diminish chords and key progression scale theories. It always sounds like mud to my ears, but I can dig it. It reminds me that some gospel fans enjoy the diminished sounds and augmented instead of fourths, fifths, and major thirds in-between chords. Thanks for the video.
Love this! Could you explain one day how to hear and learn chords like that and how to find them like you did? I struggle with hearing the bigger chords and playing them in my songs
Sean, what are your thoughts on transitioning from keyboard to organ?? I find it difficult from a feel standpoint. They're two different animals to me.
Man I’m dealing with this too. My primary instrument in almost 20 years of playing is organ. I’ve probably played keyboard/piano in probably 2 of those 20 years…smh! So, I can testify that it’s definitely a difference in terms of feel.
@@BenIsFiguringitOut Yessir!! I guess it's simply about practice, but practicing one doesn't make you automatically good at the other in my opinion. I know Cory Henry said that the organ and keyboard are two different instruments.
He has to be a powerful musician to play behind all those big women with all that girth and lung power, especially that 1st soloist. She tore it down completely. And the others were right wit her.

Sean you are unmatched man. God bless your heart 😢😢😭😭🙌🔥🔥
Doc!! Much appreciated man!
This is one of my favorite Hammond Organ videos! Powell ain't no joke!
Mann that powell family sound is distinct. I remember as a young kid in Hartford CT Watching Ivan Powell in concert do similar chords.
You can see this joy in Sean's face at 2:01

WOW; I didn’t get to see it live but Sean’s expression at 2:55 is priceless.

Awh, U Gonna Keep It Real, Doc. The Ending & An Earlier Part Sounds Like "The Hawkins " Song, " Be Grateful (4 It Will Be Alright).

The only way I knew to send this to you
Sean, what are your thoughts on transitioning from keyboard to organ?? I find it difficult from a feel standpoint. They're two different animals to me.
Yeah man, you’re right. Also heavy organ players play very different when they approach keyboard.
@@SeanWilsonPiano Absolutely!
