At the request of the subscribers, we started the new series "Piano for the Modern Musician" available at insidepiano.com/register

Are you freakin' kidding me?! Who are you? I've been watching thousands of videos of piano tutorials and I've never found anything that good. Everything was either for beginners or was only about gospel music. THANK YOU very much. You are a great pianist and also everything is explained really great. It seems that I'd have a week with dominants. :D I've been using some of them sometimes but I wasn't aware of the whole theory about them. Thank you once again and greetings from Poland. I'm certainly going to watch all your videos. Bye!

I think this is one of the best videos on harmony on the entire web, and I have seen many.

Dang!! I've never had dominants explained like that, I've used dominants in my playing, but I never had a solid understanding of it up until now. I sat down and took notes, and it was the most productive ten minutes and 49 seconds of my life. Keep it up man.

Absolutely brilliant and most comprehensive tutorial on the topic!! Million THANKS!!!!

Advanced and professional teaching Thanks very much from Saudi Arabia

this is well organized, visually appealing, and simply explained to top it off, it's free

This video, and others from the same source, contains some INVALUABLE basic information. Thanks a million !

This is the clearest and most concise general explanation of the use of substitute dominant chords that I've found so far. The presentation is a perfect balance of theoretical explanation and musical examples.

never, never so clear. You're way to explain is the best.

Federico, what great lessons you have posted. Thank you so much. You bridge the gaps between the book work and making the music talk.

I am a guitar player and I was searching for "passing chords" and came across your page. This video is phenomenal. I play by ear and your lesson clarified for me passing chords and relative dominant chords. This was an awesome and very rewarding lesson. My wife is a struggling piano player (with a beautiful voice) and I'll show her this too. Thank you, thank you, thank you!

This was one of the best structured videos I've yet seen. You do theory, then you show examples, then you apply it to a real musical situation. And you cover so much ground in a short video. Very good. Thanks for this.

the BEST video on passing chords i have found for free on youtube.

I just ran out of words. This marks my first step to the musical world. Thank you for this invaluable lesson🙏

This is the most comprehensive explanation on this topic i have ever seen. i studied dominant substitutes aka tritone substitutions but i was never clear of how the other dominants fit in. Thanks !

Holy crap. Finding this video is a gem. Ill watch this vid over and over again and ill make sure to understand and master all knowledge youve shared in this vid. Thank you 🙏🙏🙏

I learn a lot from your channel!!!🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾

Respect from Russia! No one really could explain it for me in my language! It's the Light in a dark unseen!)))

Great video! You really summarized all the uses of dominants in 1 video. Loved the examples

Thank you for creating this real life training video. You just get it!! You understand that people want more than just the trimmings of music, we want the meat and potatoes of piano music and you have delivered abundantly. This video is a no messing straight to the point and clear example of what musicians need to know. I really hope you do many more videos in the near future. Thank you, much appreciated.

Dear Mr. Frederico, congratulations! Your classes are so clear and organized! Thank you very much!

I appreciate that you put song examples here and there, top notch lesson. Thanks a lot!

You have a very elegant, old world accent and a native level vocabulary.

You are an excellent teacher!

I'm not even a pianist/keyboard player (I play guitar) and the whole lesson was as clear as day to me. Thank you very much.

This is on a different level to most tutorials l've come across! Genius!

Just wanted to let you know I really appreciate this video (and your others), but I am at the level where this information makes sense and I have watched this particular video a bunch of times practicing what you're doing at each step. It is opening a new level of understanding for me how to create and resolve chord progressions. Very grateful. Thank you!!

Great video - thanks so much for sharing. Really clear explanation, comprehensive, and plenty of examples either from standards or improvised help it all to make sense.

Concise, Clear, Deep. Brilliant.

Wow! That moved along a quite a lick and I am going to have to watch this video several times and takes notes. Absolutely brilliant explanation. Knowing how to find exactly the chord I want has always been a challenge for me. Great video. Thanks so much.

Excellent presentation! Thorough yet concise. Well organized with good examples.

I watched this video a year ago n was confused but I was sure you were trying to teach me something. A year later and several theory books later I can see this is such a brilliant video and understand it now

Thanks for the well organized, informational instructions! A very well explained step by step tutorial on the subject matter. I plan for purchasing your book. This was the best of all that I have seen over the internet concerning dominant substitute explained to the extent that you shared. Thanks again!

This video is GOLD!! 🤩

This is an excellent video. Especially the way you use well known standard songs as examples to demonstrate various progressions. i can also see that you know music REALLY well.

Wow! Pretty neat presentation. I love the way you play the blues. It sounds so calm and soul catching. Well-done

Federico,Thank you very much! I like very much your tutorials. I've got my mind clear as clean water because this tutorial. that's way, I have found another additional interesting passing chords I am now playing in my church piano solos, and I would like to share to you and everybody interested to. So for example: F7 to Em7, to Eb7(b5) to Dm7 to Db7(b5) to CM7. And this one not very common, I guess nobody use this one but I do, I LIKE IT!: B half diminish to or B diminish7 to Bb7 to Am7 to AbM7 to Ab7(b5) Dm7 to G7 to F#M7 to CM7; and this one: CM7 to B diminish 7 to B7 to Em7 to Eb6 to Dm7 to B diminish 7 to Db7 to CM7. What do you think my friend?

Brilliantly explained. Amazing lesson. Muchisimas gracias. Tu eres increible. Humble thanks.

You're Great......Thank you

A lot of info in this tutorial. It will take me some time to break it all down, but thanks for this. So much more than most people put into "tutorials".

Thanks for valuable video

Very helpful and intuitive! Thank you!

u killing softly awesome video,thank u sir... best instructor so far for me...

Thank you for this passing dominant chords video. Please check this out!... I just would like to make to notice that all diatonic chords have their own passing chord...the Bm7 (b5) resolve to Em7... by other hand, the diminished chord C°7 resolves to Bm7(b5) and also Bm7(b5) can resolves to CM7 chord because the relationship with the G9 chord. Other chords can be resolved to the Bm7(b5) chord are: the C°7 or B7 or Cm7(b5), the Eb°7 or the D7 or Ebm7(b5), the Gb°7 or the F7 or the F#m7(b5), the A°7 or the Ab7 or the Am7(b5)... So, there are so many chords can be resolved to the 7th Bm7(b5) chord...Greetings from Tijuana!

wow...nice tutorial

Extremely helpful! Congratulations!

You know so much!! These videos are very helpful!!!!

Thanks very much Federico. Very helpful.

Excelente video.

Tons of info in a very short time great video

Another good video you can make , you can show how does one decide what the cords of a tune should be based on the melody note. By the way, great demo video. Thanks. 👍

Very very good😀

This is truly amazing.

I love the C blues with ending like Db7-C7.

Good lesson on 7th’s. You should take about how to use dim chords as passing chords. Example- you can approach a minor chord using a dim chord from 1/2 above or below. By the way, great demo video. Thanks. 👍

Dammit man, I always struggle with these things. It's amazing how you make such beautiful melodies with just three or four chords. Someday I'll be able to play like that thanks to your tutorials! :)
