This vid is a big help to those (like me) who grew up in a diatonic mindset!

[@ImpliedMusic]

This is super helpful, I've been around piano my whole life but never learned the instrument. I'm starting to now 20 years into my musical journey and it makes me wish I had paid more attention to my mom when she would play so I had more familiarity with the instrument

What scale and arpeggio exercises can you recommend practicing to learn how to improvise over chord progressions so expressively?

[@ImpliedMusic]

thank you! well, i got a lot out of doing the fundamentals... Hanon, and then the Chopin etudes (slowly). i ask my students to do the Hanon in every key. that way when a chord progression calls for it they're ready for the shifts in fingering, etc. it's a process. absolutely begin with slow tempi, and only accelerate as you are able to with clarity. keep in my mind that my own range is the result of decades of (sometimes spotty) practice. my final advice is to keep an easy record book that details your progress... it can be hard to notice over a few months, but it's great to look back and realize something you couldn't do at all you can now play at 120 bpm.

The Eb was a borrowed chord from the parallel minor?

[@ImpliedMusic]

yes, and also interpretable as a chromatic mediant.

Is this the stuff that prog rockers do to make up their epic chord progressions?
