Once you understand this chord structure, your piano playing will never be the same. It's used commonly in both Jazz and Neo Soul, but you'll really hear it used in an absolutely gorgeous way in modern Neo Soul-Inspired tracks that cross genres as well. A really important part of this sound is the dim(maj7) chord, i.e. a diminished triad with a major 7. The structure comes down to being built like a block chord, but with a major 7 instead of a 6. Use this over any melody or chord progression for a modern sound. Enjoy this jazz and Neo Soul piano tutorial with Noah Kellman.

"No lack of emotional resolution". Dude, yes, yum!! Chord colors. Float away with those sus sounds, and the irony is that its from old church music: a 'religious' sound.. the resolutions tells us that "everything will be okay" if you 'believe' etc! Your enthousiasme for sound is one of your many gifts!

I always love your videos Noah. As a teacher myself, you always give me a fresh perspective. I had no idea that 9's become 2's when any note is emitted from core 1357. I always thought 2's were referred to when no 7th was present in the chord. It's learning small details that make me excited to watch each new video you post. Also, I am currently taking your Reharm and Resolutions course and it's exactly what I was looking for. Glad to see your platform is popping off, you definitely deserve it. At some point I'll be ready sit down to a private lesson with ya 🤙🏻

@slapmyfunkybass Жыл бұрын

I agree on the sus2 vs 9. I teach music and often have to tell students they’re not inversions of each other, as you say, the 2nd wants resolution whereas the 9th doesn’t. If you’re looking for ideas I have one for you which I don’t think you’ve covered, though you’re welcome to use it. It’s only two chords but sounds very nice. It’s actually min11 dropping down a semitone to #11(no 3rd), but the easiest way of viewing it is with slash chords: G / A to Gb aug / Ab So, A, G, B, D Ab, Gb, Bb, D Works well in all keys
