Cory Reacts and Stops Playing... | How to improvise a solo like Shedrick Mitchell

[@Johnmike]

Wow!!! 😳😳 man I’m totally honored by your support and shout out!!

[@SeanWilsonPiano]

Man, had me up and running in minutes, it took more time setting it up than creating the loop. If you're watching the comments click on John's name above for the info on the beat I used in the vid

Sean: " I had to get off my keyboard, walk outside and ponder the meaning of life when I heard that note! " 🤣🤣🤣🤣 This is why I'm such a fan of your channel Sean, as talented and gifted as you are, you still remain humble and willing to keep learning.🙏🏾💙🔥

[@SeanWilsonPiano]

Appreciate the words man, thanks so much!

[@michaelekwulugo8659]

Sending you love and greetings all the way from Birmingham UK 😄🙏🏾💙

[@fannepak]

"The guy with the hat..." 😂😂😂 Sean that's Sharkey. You should definitely check out Isaiah Sharkey.

[@SeanWilsonPiano]

Dude is dope man!! He just killed the solo right before that. Beast!

[@showrunner2183]

Shedrock is the GOAT. Ask Travis or Cory and they all give it up to him. He literally mastered EVERY GENRE and play organ and piano just as well

[@chrisbranch231]

We shall see

[@bridgeforthsolutions3034]

Sometimes it takes just one note to establish your authority. That’s deep. You made me put away my cheap headphones and put on my Beats headphones to listen to that organ solo again in better quality.

[@SeanWilsonPiano]

Yeah bro!!! Deep man

[@JadaonPiano]

Top notch! I love how you called this a harmonic solo, with such a simple approach, keeping the spirit of the song intact while you were doing it!

[@bridgeforthsolutions3034]

Thanks for putting me onto Shedrick Mitchell.

[@EliaGaitau]

I love watching your breakdowns, Sean. In the jazz world, they call those triads over the tritone - Upper Structures. And some will give it a number as a reference. So, for example, a C13 #11 might be a D major triad over an E tritone (rootless) or an Upper Structure 2 major (D is the second note of C, and you play a major triad.) Other ex might be upper structure #4 minor (You play an F# minor over the E tritone / or with the root, C, E, Bb. Anyway all this theory means nothing if you can't switch over to hearing it. And this is why I follow your channel. You have AMAZING ears, and great tips how to develop our hearing. Thank you!

[@SeanWilsonPiano]

Well putting it that way, I really like that concept. this is my first time hearing the naming system, really cool man, noted!! Im going to look into this concept more and as usual have my own way of presenting it at some point

[@CDion-ol2je]

THEE Shedrick Mitchell! One of, if not the greatest organist to come out of St. Louis. Phenomenal musician, phenomenal brother!

[@SeanWilsonPiano]

THEE shedrick 🔥

[@joshhampton7628]

Shedrick is the GOAT. He influenced Cory Henry, Travis Sayles and basically everyone else in NY.

[@SeanWilsonPiano]

I believe it doc!!

[@teddyreid4176]

I was there, you’re telling the truth!!!!

[@thev2403]

I been listening to him 20 years

[@mysticman07]

true statement! shedrick was greatly influenced by the great benny Samuels!

[@joshhampton7628]

keyboard man2019 Benny aka HB was the man. He could play anything at anytime. Pick a style, genre, pick a tempo, or a key it wouldn’t matter. He was special.

[@davidigbineweka7098]

I really appreciate this breakdown 👌

"Look at the guy in the hat" *everyone is wearing hats, including the teacher*

[@SeanWilsonPiano]

😭😭😭

[@odbramwell]

Sean, this video highlights so many of the points that you have emphasized in your teaching over the years. While watching the clip, I kept asking myself the question, 'what is his approach?' Your teachings are helping me develop the process to ingest masterclass performances like these. Respect bro. Keep up the good work!!

[@SeanWilsonPiano]

great comment man, thanks for that!

[@amotinyabongo5659]

"Ponder the meaning of life!!" Yeah man, I dig. Thanks for the post.

[@SeanWilsonPiano]

Doc!! Much appreciated man!

[@amotinyabongo5659]

@@SeanWilsonPiano When I listen to Kenny Barron, playing solo...I ponder the meaning of life...

[@jamesthenabignumber]

This is a wonderful video, Sean. You have a far better ear then me, but it’s encouraging that you think in similar terms. In jazz vocabulary, we call it ‘upper structure’ chords when you think of a different triad over a root or a tritone. For example, a Cb9b13 is a Dbm triad with a 3 and b7 (and the bass plays the root). That seems to be similar to what you’re saying here in this video. Anyway, I really appreciate all of your lessons and it’s really helped my playing.

[@SeanWilsonPiano]

For sure man, great concepts. Yeah I love the language of triads and appeals to the gospel musician in me but the way “upper structure” terminology has a really nice ring to it. Thanks!!!!

[@jamesthenabignumber]

I think Cory is a genius. When he’s impressed, we all should be too!

[@SeanWilsonPiano]

Excellent point!!!

[@teddyreid4176]

Shedrick is no joke... Corey will tell you!!!!!

[@natebragg4349]

“Look at the dude in the hat” aka Isaiah Sharkey one of the best young guitarist out today 😂😂😂

My goodness gracious alive😳😳😳😳😳😳😳😳 This is dope @sean

[@pianowithteekay]

❤ your content man!

[@Jamaicafunk]

Yep. I played keys along with Shedrick on several Freddie Jackson gigs a few years ago. I reacted the same way Cory did pretty much every gig. He’s pretty ridiculous.

[@SeanWilsonPiano]

Crazy man!!

[@rayadavbiele6655]

Amazing lecture

[@edwardvivenzio5843]

Check out the tune GTDS,Kenny Garrett,from the album Simply Said,Shedrick Mitchell kills it on that tune!

[@SeanWilsonPiano]

Gotta check it out!

[@AceeSoul]

Incredible!!!

[@daunierthompson8978]

If I’m not mistaken the guy on guitar is Isaiah sharkey 😂 check him out bro, I think he understood cause he’s at a level of guitar that hardly anyone can touch

[@jcruise876]

I see cory rocking that kronos!!!! 🤙🏼

[@geomaddox]

Lol “the guy in the hat” is D’Angelo’s guitarist Isiah Sharkey

[@sherrokinchen5253]

I love watching this video but the one thing you talk about that some musicians don’t talk about in music theory or jazz theory is inversions especially in jazz theory. There is two notes intervals with one inversion, to inversions in Triad chords Except for the diminished chord has one and the diminished seventh and augmentation chords do not have inversions they’re altered by changing the notes. Dominant seventh and major seventh chords have three inversions. I could talk about chord extensions but it’s too much information right now but learning inversions is crucial in music theory and jazz theory and I love watching his video🙂

[@SeanWilsonPiano]

Yeah man, totally agree!!!

[@BrightsoundsForAcidminds]

Let´s share the knowledge!

[@kalirocketdev]

Hi Sean, are you using Keyscape? ...Sounds great!

[@SeanWilsonPiano]

yep, plus some EP underneath

[@arthurjackson3337]

If a Chord is an spelled out "Eb 9sus4", does the Dominant 9 presume that their is also a Dominant 7 in the chord? Or can you have a Dom 9 without a Dom 7 in the chord?

[@rockstarjazzcat]

Nice!!!

[@zzush]

Hi Sean what sounds are u using on your board?

[@nanachordson1982]

Sir, at the 7:25mins to the 8:15mins of the original video, Cory did some sick chord movements over there. Please can you breakdown that very part also. Thank you
