7-3-6 is just a 2-5-1 for the 6 chord and the m5-1-4 is just a 2-5-1 for the 4 chord. It's the same concept for both landing chords. Thank for you this!

[@gabs7753]

Can you explain this to me lol.

[@jeffereybishop9810]

@@gabs7753 sure thing, The 2-5-1 is a common jazz passing chord sequence. So let’s say you are going to play a C chord. Before you get there you play the 2 5 1 in that key. So Dm G C. You temporarily change the key of the song to the one you are going to. If you are in the key of C and you want to play a G chord you would temporarily change the key to G and play the 2 5 1 in the key you are going to, in this case G. So you would play Am (2) D (5) G (1) It’s saying the same thing as the video but in a different way.

[@meaugust8104]

But 7-3-6 that's look like different patron, if it's a reguler 2-5-6 then when he play in D and want to pass to Bm. It should C#m-F#- Bm. Need explanation please

[@djfoster29]

@@meaugust8104 2-5-1 going to Bm, which makes it C#dim/min7(aka half-dim), F#7, Bm. (temporarily changing that sequence to Bm key)

Thanks Jeffery! You explained this so well.

I’m not a worship leader but I do appreciate the information. Those chord progressions are prolific throughout r &b and jazz music and learning them adds an extra layer of lushness to your productions.

[@Ryan93Lion]

Man oh man. You’re the GOAT for this video fam. I had a friend who was telling me about this chord progression with a 2-5-1 and he urged me to learn it quickly as possible. I learned it in C and had no idea where to apply it but this makes so much freaking sense. It’s all passing chords between the fundamental chord progressions 1-5-6-4 and 6-4-1-5, which I knew so this is blowing my mind right now at almost 1:00 in the morning. Thank you man. God bless.

This is so wonderful! You guys are not just sharing secrets, kept sometimes to maintain position or control over a genre or market (which is understandable, your're sharing love and also gospel. A good message and the love of our holy father, the love of jesus and the love of mankind and music in thanks to ALL of the above. Amen and thank you soooo much! You ahve so made my day and....I just came into enough money, after being in debt since 1996 and now aged nearly 57, to buy a piano keyboard and I started looking at the Roland Fantom 08 by chance a couple of days ago and told myself it was too expensive, but then it turned out I was going to get even more money than originally expected but, I still needed to justify spending this money on a hobby I have had since I was a child. Grew up alone, transracially adopted, gay and now in switzerland crippled by my traumatic experiences in life but so blessed to be here in this beautiful country and being supported and still having my love for music and desire to play. I never thought about the church as a place to aim my talent but it makes a lot of sense and a lot more people are realising they want and need to come togther in God's name and make church, any which way, for the glory and grace of the holy spirit!!!! 🙂🙏❤💪

Thanks bro, but can you explain for us about this gospel progession play On C. So the beginner just like me can more understand hehe, thanks bro

[@TheGuitarrmann]

Jason, the principles are the same, especially for the key of C. C major is the 1. D minor is the 2. E minor is the 3. F major is the 4. G major is the 5, and so on. I learned the numbering system, then worked at mastering that. Then I learned to invert the chords. and am working on mastering that. My electric keyboard can transpose, so now, whatever I play, I play it in C. I wanted to play the keyboard, sing and do worship, not become a concert pianist, which would take forever. And now I do. If the guy from Crowder can do it, so can we!

[@adeboyegrillo3408]

Do not pay attention to the key nor his fingers. Listen to the progression and feed your soul. Let your mind be saturated with it and then your mind will tell your fingers how to play on any key

[@oivindalvestad7130]

The progression in C major would be: C Bdim E Am Gm C F The more advanced version: C Bdim7 E-#5#9 Am9 Gm9 C9 Fmaj7

[@hemakesitright]

Thanks so much for this. Full disclosure: I'm a black American who started learning to play piano by ear under the guidance of a minister of music who also learned by ear... But I've since then mostly learned and played in CCM style (much to the chagrin of my church family) and gleaned on my own. So it's kind of been a struggle trying to learn gospel and contemporary styles of playing. This helps a lot! Please keep it up!

[@petfama4211]

This progression you call 7-3-6-m5-1-4 is really just a 2-5-1 to the 6th x2 with modulation in the middle. See, the 3rd in this is major, not minor as the regular 3, and the 1 has a low seventh as opposed to a high one. Also the minor 5 doesn’t have to be explained as such as the 2 to the 4 is already minor. Love this progression btw. I believe it was first used by Scriabin in his piano concerto’s 3rd movement, towards the end, and is probably most used today in east asian pop-music

[@PlayCreatively]

HEY THANKS FOR WATCHING!!! You are right, it can be explained this way. I have a question for you since you're well versed in music theory. Is an F7 #5 #9 major or minor? What other types of videos would you be interested in?

[@petfama4211]

Davin Hutchinson i guess it’s major as the #9 don’t make it another chord. Thing is, anything above 7 such as a 9, 11 or 13 are really more melodic additions than part of the chord. A thing that could occur however would be if the 9 or 13 or anything really, isn’t in reality a 9 but a hidden 1, 3, 5 or 7 of another chord entierly, just played on top of a wrong inversion of itself that makes it seem like it’s a different chord than it is to the untrained eye. An example would be if it was instead an Fmaj7#59 which would in fact be an A7b13. In this case however the 9 doesn’t do that, and the #5 is more of a suspended note of the fifth in low seventh major chords so it’s all fine. Like these kind of chord related videos really. Also really like gospel music even tho i’m not religious so there’s that. Keep on the good work 👍

[@PlayCreatively]

Petfama so the reason I asked, besides just creating conversation, is that the 3rd determines major or minor, but if your playing both the major and minor 3rd then what is it? I agree with you that it is major as the #9 is merely an extension of the chord which is augmented, and augmented chords are major chords with a raised 5th. However I was curious to see how you analyzed the chord. How’d you discover gospel?

[@ermharriable]

Davin Hutchinson - All Dominant chords come from a SCALE. For instance,in your case a F7#9#5 comes from the Altered Dominant Scale. But don’t get caught up on the is it major/minor argument. For example, a F7sus4 doesn’t have a major or minor 3rd. It comes from the Mixolydian scale but it’s still a dominant7 chord. Everything in music starts from a scale. Unlock those scales and start to see a whole other world

[@Danilo8208SS]

Davin Hutchinson it’s a matter of semantics really. The third is always major on a dominant chord. Although the #9 looks like the minor third it’s function is of a 2 or 9.
