The "glitch" should be on the background though, not the keys, it makes it difficult to watch for those who can't see too well, I'm 3 minutes in and I've had to stop watching and just listen.

I suspect Jeff can play these beautiful harmonies on the fly, and you have to marvel at this level of improvisational skill. It’s fascinating to see how church pianists develop these gorgeous harmonies around the hymns that the listeners have heard and sung countless times over in church.

I have been watching Jeff's videos for a while now, and am always impressed with his great clarity within increasing layers of harmonic complexity. Watching, listening, and following along with this and his other videos you can really internalize and integrate the principles of sophisticated reharmonization that will influence the way you play, arrange, and compose. Thank you Jeff for sharing your knowledge with us. You are a talented teacher.

@@SquidBlue Kinda disagree with you because the chord C/E is a C major chord in first inversion or a C major chord with bass of E which is not the second degree of D minor if this was the 251 in D minor it will look more like this Eminor7b5 A7alt Dm11 In this case the progression he used is the 751 which is kinda similar to the backdoor progression which is 471 so I believe it's a mixture of both? Not really sure but this is not the 251 in D minor
@SquidBlue
@SquidBlue 5 жыл бұрын
@@abdulalshibly3930 Yeah I'd say the C/E is sort of substitution for a ii but definitely still implies it because of the E A D in the bass, and C triad has the shared note G with an E minor triad (the minor third)
@abdulalshibly3930
@abdulalshibly3930 5 жыл бұрын
@@SquidBlue You're actually totally right that bass is what really holding the 251 didn't notice it. I was learning theory and there's this new idea: you can resolve the dominant chord on a relative major/minor from the tonic. i.e. G7| Cmaj7 is a regular 5 1 G7| Am7 is not a regular 5 1 that's the idea the Amin7 is the relative minor of Cmaj7 so if you think about it you can actually use the same ideas in modes like resolve the dominant of C on Dmin or Emin. Where I'm getting with that idea is maybe he used a similar concept to make the substitution from Emin7b5 to C/E Or maybe he just played the bass E to keep the 251 together and played another triad in the right hand and this is actually somehow very effective so I think he just did that there isn't always theory to explain everything but it's good to know it's out there to help ya. Thanks man for mentioning the bass part never noticed it

It's amazing how gracefully these concepts are explained, but although I understand the reason behind using these chords and cadences, I don't always get why or how you choose the quality of the chords (that's to say, why you would use an 11, or flat 5, etc. other than to simply accomodate a melody note). But that's a footnote at the base of this incredible jazz crash course you constantly expand with each video. I'd just like to say thank you, for the knowledge you've gifted me and many others.

Jeff ..was talking to a piano tuner..we were exchanging licks..he hit a chord.. My ears perked up.. Actually I think it was precious lord take my hand..but it works on Amazing grace. It was the voicing of the F9#5. You almost played it. Try voicing the F9#5. ..with a B in the left hand.. Right hand will start withA below middle C. Also included Db Eb G..so thinking in terms of the. F scale ..F G A Bb C D E F (G)..this chord can interpreted in several ways. A is Maj 3 Db is the b13 or #5 the Eb is b7 and the G Is the ninth. Now this.chord is now one of my favorite altered chords. The G on the top has a strong pull down to F. The Db will pull to D The Eb will pull to D also..the A is mag3 of F. So this F9#5 is amazing. Also can server as modulation tool.

The b9 Maj7#11 (as a tritone substituted V) to I(add9) is such a beautiful, iconic cadence - I think it works so well because the Maj7#11 of b9 is basically just a sus4 of I with the tension of a b9 in the bass, thus evokes that lofty, classical sus4-Maj flavor, but the suspension of the 4 is given even more momentum resolution with the lower b9. I think the first time I fell in love with that cadence must have been as a little boy with John Miles' "Music", and it'll never not be "that 'Music' cadence' for me :)

Amazing video! But I think you have made a little mistake. That Gb Maj 7 isn't a tritone substitution, because of it's major 7th (to be a tritone substitution it needs to have the tritone of the V7 chord, Bb-E, got in a Gb 7 chord). That Gb Maj 7 is a phrygian modal interchange. Thanks for the useful information in the video, love your channel!
