[@stefanguy]

Thank you bro! Golden area!

[@ed_ms]

I suck at playing the keys, so from time to time I buy a midi pack here and there. I bought yours a while ago and I absolutely have to say that the SG Chord Pack is by far the best RnB pack I ever bought!! 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥 I hope you plan an making a vol 2 🤞

[@stefanguy]

Yoo bro ahh thank you so much man! This is an amazing review! Glad you like the pack and the vote for volume 2!!

[@ElNabulsi]

Absolutely brilliant bro!! We need more videos in general and more of these specially. Please give us more of the golden era. A lot of Joe, Babyface, Jam and Lewis and some underappreciated artists like Shai, Az Yet, After 7 (Til You Do Me Right & Damn Thing Called Love specially) and more! You rock dude. We just need more content please 🙏🙏

[@stefanguy]

Thank you bro!! And much love for the suggestions, all dope artist/producers! Much love and I'm back to weekly uploads 🙌🏾

[@igorka9354]

[@TheLifeOfJBrab]

So dope! What's crazy is the same chord progression in a different key I Wish You Were Here by Jamie Foxx

[@eyya]

What a nice progression! Very motivating to make more music.

[@stefanguy]

Hey Eyya, that’s awesome to hear! Glad you liked the progression!

[@kubaducki]

You need to upload more videos! Keep going, love your channel Stefan

[@stefanguy]

Thank you brother!

@@stefanguy Keeping dropping these fantastic Vids and how you decide what VSTs you prefer to use ! thank you for your Commitment!

[@Vrainy]

wow. the voicings man... You always got this good ear for good sounds. 💥💥💥 I've got questions though, do you think it's too late for me to learn keyboard? I'm already 24 but I got no proper training with keys... Also, if YES... where's the best place to start???

[@stefanguy]

Thank you so much bro! 🙏🏾 . In answer to your question, not at all! You’re still young bro. Granted it is easier to learn when you’re younger but it’s by no means too late. Personally I learned by learning songs. Popular songs and by playing at church where i’d have to learn new songs every few weeks. This exposed me to a lot of chords and chord progressions and obviously honed my playing. I started learning theory much later on and tbh still have a lot to learn!

[@Vrainy]

@@stefanguy thanks for the tip my guy! been an inspiration to my songs

[@stefanguy]

Much love bro. Thanks for the kind words!!

Bro these chords so 🔥 vedo used it on “seasons” too

[@ShukuraOnline]

Thankyou for this video. Please play for the song for longer. It was beautiful but It was too short for me too appreciate. all we had was the Intro To hear it. Atleast end the video playing it for atleast 1 minute xx

[@stefanguy]

Hey Shukura, thanks for the kind words and feedback, something I'll take on board! 🙏🏾 x

[@pinkbuddha_samplepackreviews]

you are amazing 🔥🔥🔥

[@stefanguy]

Much love man 🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾

[@jordonhenry6825]

This is dope! As a bassist , I’m hearing the progression as 2-1-7-3-6 😂😅

[@triplet2381]

Ohhh you play in the bass clef 😂

[@yangbugggg]

2-1-7-3-6 is Dmaj logic,4-3-2-5-1 is Bm, it's same thing.

[@kendrick10601]

@@yangbugggg I see everything in relative major too

[@wandermari1718]

Love it!

Thanks Mari!

[@stefanguy]

Much love man 🙏🏾

[@rodneyt.4440]

I like this a lot. I would think it is easier to consider it in Bm. then its a simple 4-3-2-5-1 progression with a diminished to get you back to the minor 4. love your content

[@stefanguy]

Yeah you’re right. I considered it to be in Bm too but I always call chords in the relative major. As it made things simpler calling numbers in a band not worrying if it’s major or minor. So I just stuck with it. But I’m going to change it to Bm in the description cause you’re right it does make it easier. Thanks for the feedback! And glad to hear you love the content man 🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾

[@pedromanuelmorenolara745]

Muchas gracias por su vídeo. Un fuerte abrazo.

[@drunkobeatz971]

good job! thx

[@stefanguy]

Thanks man, glad I could share it with you!

[@Enatural_7]

How do you incorporate other songs chords in your own songs? Also, I love your videos. You’re like a major reason why I can’t stay off KZbin lol

[@stefanguy]

Hey Eric thank you man! Sorry about contributing so much to your screen time 😂 but at least it’s educational!! Appreciate the support! How do I incorporate other other songs chords. Well if a song has a chord progression I’d like to use, i’d often start with the chord progression. And then get the song that it’s taken from out of my mind. I may voice the chords differently, or I may change one or two chords. There’s no real rule. It also depends on the sound I’m using it with. But chord progressions are always a great place to start.

[@Enatural_7]

@@stefanguy thank you always sir! 💪🏾

[@stop6production]

You make things sounds great man! but I would love to see you do a song that is not a production song. This would teach people how to develop a mindset of their own to make chords rather than take something already produced, mix it around and "call it their own". Can you make a Stefan Song jam tut session that's a little dumbed down for guys lie me who are self learning? Like don't have so many fingers being used, we can learn to add that over time, just something simple

[@saa4ari]

0:03

[@_UH0H]

Might i ask what that whining vocal sound is starting at 00:04? I’m not sure if it’s a lead or a pad but I’ve been looking for that sound for forever! Would love to know.. great vids!!

[@avace917]

Not exactly the same but it reminds me of My Heart Belongs 2 U by Jodeci except that starts on the root as opposed to the 4th

[@nevastrez]

Thanks Stefan for your excellent and useful chord progression training, these indeed beautiful chord progression also remind me of this song: All my life by Kci & Jojo, What do you think?

[@ampecsu]

when i saw this song some years back and trying it on guitar it showed going from a Bm to B7 but i'll have to try the d#dim7 when i get back to the crib! Im curious and have to look deeper into the note differences are

[@stefanguy]

How did it sound? I find a lot of sites don't list diminished and augmented chords. From personal experience, they'll tend to simplify.

[@MrPj4718]

Hey Stefan! What is the difference between love like whoa mya and all my life kci & Jojo? Melodic line and all?

[@johnwebb4499]

I created a Chord Progression I never heard used before. So I looked it up. To see if there are others to use it? Your Chord Progression is close to mine. Mine has no 5. Mine goes 4,4,4,4. 3,3,3,3, 2,2,2,2, 1,1,1,1 Then back to the 4 Chord. Mines in Key of E blues. (G#, G, F#, E) Close but different. It might even be III,III,III,III, to iii,iii,iii,iii. That's what the beat wanted.

Can you do Beauty is her name by Dru Hill

[@stefanguy]

Thanks for the suggestion!

[@AmbiguousAnthony]

Nice bro! I wish I could play keys. Can I get the same result using chord or scale mode with the komplete keyboard?

[@stefanguy]

Thanks bro! Practice makes perfect brother, learning chords to songs is a great place to start! I haven't used those modes in all honesty. I'm sure they probably have all the chords you need to though. But you're probably be restricted in regards to chord voicings and getting them sound the exact way you'd like.

[@DawnVilla]

Dude do you sell beats? I'd like to buy some

[@stefanguy]

Yo I don’t at the moment you know. I only really make music for youtube these days. Would you be interested in buying unfinished beats? The stems to ideas, 8 bar loops etc. this is what I’m considering as I have loads of unfinished beats just laying around. Was thinking to maybe license the stems if there’s an interest. Let me know

[@dpunlasmith]

Can we trade fingers? Mine don’t seem to move like that.😢😂

[@stefanguy]

Looool with practice they can!

[@thehomieolme]

I get a little confused when you say 4-3-2-5-1 , does this apply to any key you choose?

[@stefanguy]

Yep exactly that. Google "The Nashville Number System" or check out this video where I speak on it a little more - kzbin.info/www/bejne/ZoWXpJWoqauHg80
