How Much Harmony Are You Capable Of?

[@AimeeNolte]

In my extended Nebula video, we do the same thing but with an ASCending line! curiositystream.com/aimeenolte

[@TonyThomas10000]

Amazing reharmonizations. I am going to have to watch this one over and over and take some notes!

[@FrancisLuong]

It's a better experience than youtube! Although no comments or likes there. So I came back here just to click some thumbs.

[@kbmusic885]

Great to watch you work Aimee.

[@matthewgoldberg1461]

Wonderful video, Aimee. You’ve laid out my entire life in 18 minutes

[@jimmrvos2930]

Even though I’m not a pianist your videos always enlighten and inspire me and make me a better musician. As always, thank you Aimee!

[@danwaldis4553]

This is such a lovely song; it was my mom's & dad's song. Nice singing! And I like your harmonic thinking on this, too! The chromatic harmony going downward -- C-E, B-D#, Bb-D, Bb-Db, A-C -- very nice. And then using those same pitches while adding different stylistic elements. Keep making these excellent videos!

[@brondutton5857]

Awesome lesson and discourse.

[@70ilkor]

Unreal crazy sound!!! Thanks!!!

[@yimskykatzikoff7408]

Funny this vid should appear as I’m working on my fathers arrangement of Home (When Shadows Fall). He was born in 1911 and learned the song shortly after its release in 1931. He used many of the ‘old timey’ voicing you discussed. They are a pleasure to play and listen to. Ty for this gem of a lesson.

[@christopherbartlett4285]

T Thank you so much for this. I love listening to the joy with you show us how you play, both senses of that word with the music. You would have been the piano/theory teacher I wish I had found years ago.

[@zacharythomas6529]

slower, romantic tunes....you were totally made for this! Excellent instruction and tips....plus we get to hear more of your lovely voice. Thanks :)

[@andrewcouper404]

Thank you so much, Aimee! You either inspire and enlighten at the same time! I've dreamed about such educational material a long for. My appreciations from Russia :)

[@lakegirlroxy9852]

Gorgeous song, gorgeous voice, so beautiful!

[@iagolloyd9139]

You give great lessons Aimee! Thank you all the way from Wales 🎶😎X

[@benwinstanleymusic]

Really lovely video Aimee, these sort of videos really help to get out of creative ruts. It helps to be reminded of these melodic concepts, and its great to see how you voice things. Thanks!

[@unkykun]

That's so good, I will rewatch this video everytime I'll reharmonize The whole thing is so smooth, pleasing to listen to and informative, thank you ! Great job Aimee !

[@theresec1216]

A really good video Aimee, it really helps to see how you do the changes

[@FrancisLuong]

Good stuff!

[@coloaten6682]

Thanks for opening up that particular can of worms, Aimee! ;-) (I'm teaching myself Jazz piano and thinking about composing a Jazz tune) A great video, thank you :)

[@peterkinskofer6881]

I love being challenged like this-Thanks Aimee 11:38

[@JayTheLane]

Wonderful video in every way 😊

[@harrylanders3779]

This is one that I'll want to keep coming back to, so I can absorb the lessons. Thank you. And you finally convinced me to spring for a subscription to Curiosity Stream + Nebula.

[@AimeeNolte]

Thank you Harry.

[@blueeyedsoulman]

Amazing and observant discourse. Bravo.

[@tomkay2907]

Fantastic video, some parts reminded me of Kermit's "it's not easy being green" ,the way of the chord progression and such; it would be great to see you play and analyze that song; thanks for keeping up with the great content

[@benaiah1960]

Good afternoon ms nolte I am an avid follower of your channel and your intrinsic knowledge of music composition when you do have the time would you look into mccoy tyner land of the lonely from his trident album in 1975 it is for me so sublime and powerful thank you and bless you

[@hahabass]

Great lesson. Fab ideas. :-)

[@williamorlandomaestrevilla4291]

Sublime

[@seaspeck]

I wish my piano level was a bit higher to freely experiment with your advices. Your lessons are so clear in every aspect! I love this song thanks to Billie Holiday's version.

[@stevenewman9935]

Great video, Aimee, thanks. Btw, “It Had To Be You” is similar: opens with the same 2 chords, and it’s melody also does not include that #5. I love it, a very old-timey sound

[@mikegordon1504]

The Topic for me, and really lovely to hear it taught so clearly in such skilled hands. Which comes first, the harmonic progression or the melody? Looks like the melody.

[@FORTPOON]

very success

[@connshawnery6489]

Love Open Studio. Great channel.

[@KimStennabbCaesar]

Wonderful playing! Those voicings are spicy.

[@newyorkfilharmonik110]

I just was convinced by a very good friend to get a subscription to Curiosity Stream.

[@AimeeNolte]

Aw shucks😍😍😍 thank you so much! CuriosityStream is the documentary spot. You can watch many many documentaries there. Check your email for the welcome video to Nebula. That’s where my extended and bonus content can be found. Thank you thank you.

[@brendaboykin3281]

Mil Grazie, Maestra 🌹🌹🌹

[@noraazemog]

This brought back memories of when I had to play this tune in grad school and reharm it and do it in multiple keys. Good memories except when I had to do it in a lesson playing it through all keys one right after the other in time, really made my brain hurt but so worth it. Also this tune with Oscar Peterson and Sara Vaughn is so amazing.

[@johnslater8998]

Really great.

[@thatlovejones]

Another fantastic lesson! I would submit Ella Fitzgerald's More Than You Know as one to hear, and it is right here on KZbin.

[@HowlingUlf]

Me needs to learn to play some s l o w piano just to listen and learn. Such a logical and undeniable layout of the truth in the harmonies of the spheres. Guitar is cool for wild single note lines and bends, but what a mess when it comes to theory hahaha! Great lesson ... and thos old jazz songs !!! Pure goose bump generators! What have the industry done to our music ...

[@vermithrax-pejorative]

Man, your stuff is just continually inspiring. But you know, as I was watching this, I found myself a little jealous about how easily it seems to come for you. Is there anything that you still struggle with or have to work at? I’d sure love to learn how you get over some of these humps.

[@parkimedes]

At 13:20 you say having the G7#5 "can spark everything". I play guitar, and have been working on about 6 cover songs. A few weeks ago, I saw Beauty and the Beast and couldn't stop myself from learning the Gaston Song, and I noticed, every single one of the songs I love to play has the 7b13 chord, including that one! It's the same chord. Apparently, it's by far my favorite chord. And not only do my favorite songs to play all have this chord, but that part with it is my favorite part of each song! ITS AN AMAZING CHORD. Please do a video on it! I would love to hear more about your thoughts on it.

[@sagarkapoor9892]

Great insights here Aimee.. if you happen to write big band arrangements(since you demonstrated what trombones and saxes would do briefly) you must do lessons on that because there are very few resources on youtube for it.

[@timsmith190]

This song is new to me. I find very little in the way of guitar covers of this song. I love the way you play and sing it; it inspired me to play it on guitar. Of course my Real Book doesn't include it.

[@johnwade7430]

It’s also found in the film ‘The Fabulous Baker Boys’ when it is sung by Michelle Pfiefer.

[@timsmith190]

Thanks for the tip. I just found a clip of her singing it in the movie. Jeff Bridges looks like he is actually playing tne piano...

[@johnwade7430]

It’s a great film

[@ElizabethSLicht]

Great lesson but too advanced for my Winnie-the-pooh brain... I need to watch a few more basic one before I leap to this one... but I am glad it is available for when I am ready for it! Thank you!

[@davidvernon3119]

Amy - is what you are describing here (at 10 minutes in) a “line cliché”?

[@yiwutcmmedicalenlightenmen922]

never known your voice so lovely as on this video!

[@AimeeNolte]

Much thanks. I have four albums out and a brand new single too!

[@solo624]

Great video . To be honest, I like your voice on this song . Can you post a link with you singing this song?

[@JoaoCarlos-gd1km]

Show👏👏👏❤

[@davidreidenberg9941]

Aimee, I can automatically get many of those altered chords by simply using the tritone sub.

[@larseriksson1184]

For me its just a comping pattern. I do that sometimes when i have a bar of tonic major.

[@lonniemoseley]

Hi Aimee, this was a wonderful video. Could you tell me on what album is Chet Baker playing "More than you Know?" I've been searching for it and can't find.

[@AimeeNolte]

Thank you. No, I didn’t mean that he was playing this particular song. Just that he’s on an album with Gerry Mulligan playing duets.

[@kencory2476]

It's very interesting to build harmony over descending melodies. What about ascending melodies?

[@AimeeNolte]

That’s exactly what I do in the Nebula video!

[@PlayitonPan]

🔥🙌🏾😎🎶💫

[@fitzroypryce2818]

Good morning Aimee I enjoy how your teach. But do you teach country gospel , am living in Jamaica and I would love to play gospel in country,can you put out some lesson on how to play country gospel. Thanks, oh you are beautiful and your voice is so cool.

[@AimeeNolte]

Search for my name and the words “gospel” and “country” in the search bar. You will find a few things!

[@CuratorOfRealities]

I see you, fellow twelfth reacher! 🤩

[@AimeeNolte]

10th?

[@emiliadevedia1226]

dios te amo

[@TonyThomas10000]

7#9 chord is the "Hendrix chord". "Purple Haze"

[@harrylanders3779]

And "Foxy Lady".

[@TonyThomas10000]

@@harrylanders3779 Yep!

[@judimcavoy722]

Way too fast for me
