Great video...which I admit I've had to watch 2-3 times to "get it". But surely the melody dictates the chord sequence? I could have missed something though.

Great advice in this lesson! Singing it and playing it is always better than letting your fingers try to find it, tempting as that can be! Thank you Michael.

Your piano sounds so mellow, pairs up nicely with the chill vibe.

Chord symbols are information, not instruction. 🤯

This is a superb channel! I love the subtle humour where you encourage us to subscribe to some other channel, implying, "if my channel is any good, I wouldn't need to ask you to subscribe." Subscribed. Twice if I could.

These videos are absolute gold

Amazing video!

Moonlight Sonata into something that nearly made me cry with joy …. Wow! Yes, I’m the guy you described only 65 years later and restarting. Hopefully, I’ll have a soulful moment like what you created out of thin air. Thank You!🙏

THAT was awesome! Your “just chatting” is extremely effective to getting your points across. As a “just above beginner” level, you’ve opened up a whole new world of “damn, I didn’t even know that existed” before. Thank you very much ….

Chops. Touch. Timing. Perfectly demonstrated. Cool.

a call but no response so we`re talking to our self. meloncoly

Спасибо ❤❤❤

Love your videos man! Keep up the good work!

It's a piano player thing! Almost certain

I love your lessons, thank you 🙏🏾

I understand them better without naming the mode

Definitely an eye opening revelation ,I long ago asked a fellow keyboardist why his chords sounded much fuller than mine “ perfect fifths” in his left hand😂❤👍🏿👍🏿👍🏿

I’ve just stumbled on your channel and WOW - So many amazing ideas! Thank you! I’ll be checking in regularly

As long as Michael posts videos I’ll keep watching them. Learned more about applying music theory in the last few days of binge watching these than 14 years of classical lessons. Would love to see your process to go from a basic lead sheet into a full arrangement applying these concepts!

Brilliant! Thanks for sharing!

Another guitarist here and for learning this idea you picked the best key to start with as the top notes can be played easily as xx3200 and trying the bass notes you’ve shown us. Thanks!

Thank you! exactly what I needed to understand this concept, which other videos did not explain well enough to permeate my thick skull.

I have trouble quickly finding rootless voicings and their variants without a root context, and I know it’s simply a lack of practice and memorization on my part. So I appreciate your comment about not necessarily knowing all of them immediately, although that doesn’t let me off the hook! 😅 Anyway, thank you for your world class instruction. It always inspires, and it’s such a friendly format. You do beautiful work.

The half diminished d resolving to c is also a great example of negative harmony!

I've watched many videos about tritone substitution but they all left me confused. Finally now with your explanation I understand it and know how to use it. Thank you!

Michael, your content is brilliantly educational, yes. But also, I find your presence almost meditative. Your vocal quality, gentle humor, and relaxed speed of communication leave me feeling peaceful as well as a wee bit smarter. Thank you very much for what you’re sharing.

Thanks so much.

If the minor half diminished lasts at least 2 beats it sounds great to insert 7 chord a half step up from the following V7 chord. E.g. between Em7b5 to A7 insert a Bb7 chord. This chord may be altered to 7b5 chord (or a major 7 or a 13 chord) depending on the melody notes. Sometime one could skip the m7b5 chord and could go directly to the ”half step up chord”. Anyway, this creates a nice bassline and more chords to improvise over. Please try this! Brgds, Tonnie

Rock N Roll tutorial please

Ok, i thought it would be yet another not really informative video on this topic with more very dry and uninspired examples but god damn! Its actually what ive been looking for, thank you

I started learning piano to play in church brother may our Lord Jesus bless you and your loved one thanks for the help.

This is how i play, but i also like triads a lot

Ви сте најбољи, апсолутно најбољи! Ово је мој омиљени канал!

My playing immediately improves after hearing the ideas and demonstrations in your videos

I Remember Jim Moginie from Midnight Oil using this in "Short Memory" at one of the concerts. Very high pitch notes for the solo run. The Keyboard was this one or really similar.

Good sound teaching Thank you Sam😊

Clear, concise, cannot stop watching now. Subbed.

Хвала!

This is brilliant!

Хвала Вам!

❤❤❤

thank

Bro ur right no one once fish 24/7 it starts stinking at some point 😅

Good luck Michael! Great Channel.

Eccellente, le vere radici sotterranee dell' improvvisazione.

Wow! Thank you, thank you ❤️

Hi Michael, another great tutorial.Thank you so much. But I'm gonna raise another small issue with you. During the Inversions piece, as a viewer we could not tell whether you were using both hands or just one as the camera view is blocked by the app overlay. So, a small request please? Could you pull the camera back a little so that we get to see what your hands are doing as well as what the app is demonstrating. That would be so very helpful for the future. You're a great teacher and have some brilliant suggestions for improving playing. I just want to get the most from your sessions. Please keep them coming!

Great for climbing a step in piano practice. I'm really on this video. Just a little regret, with my level I have to slow down the reading and at 75% the sound is not good. But this remark does not reduce the pedagogical quality of this video ++++++++++++😍 Super pour monter une marche dans la pratique du piano. Vraiment je boucle sur cette vidéo. Juste un petit regret, avec mon niveau il faut que je ralentisse la lecture et à 75 % le son n'est pas bon. Mais cette remarque ne réduit en rien la qualité pédagogique de cette vidéo ++++++++++++

me aswell - absolute same story. Happy in the sadness.
