How to Play Jazz Piano Chord Extensions - Fast and Easy

[@JayRappa]

this is how all tutorials should begin - with music....

[@jeanluisindriagolugo232]

Cheers for the Video clip! Forgive me for the intrusion, I would love your thoughts. Have you ever tried - Riddleagan Smart Hands Remedy (Sure I saw it on Google)? It is a smashing one off guide for learning piano fast minus the normal expense. Ive heard some amazing things about it and my m8 at last got excellent results with it.

[@amopepe]

Nice Video clip! Forgive me for butting in, I would love your thoughts. Have you considered - Riddleagan Smart Hands Remedy (search on google)? It is a great one of a kind product for learning piano fast minus the headache. Ive heard some pretty good things about it and my best friend Jordan finally got astronomical results with it.

[@joseleobardoojedaborges2699]

Thank You very much

[@zzzut]

Amen to that! There’s nothing that annoys me more than a video about music with a five minute comment before we get to hear a single note.

[@narqiez4669]

I can’t express how grateful I am for these videos you make accessible for us! I can’t believe it’s free. I come from a country where jazz is not a kind of music people listen to a lot, and there’s really not many musicians out here teaching, so I have to self learn. And since I’m classically trained musician, I have no idea where to begin with. I guess I’ll just watch all of your videos till i learn something I’m not ashamed to play. Cheers!!!

[@yoloswag6242]

Watching this video, I realised how important it is to have someone who knows what they're talking. I'm marking this video as my intro into playing jazz. thank you

[@adamsmateo2149]

Me too

[@SparklesNJazz]

this is fabulous. i’ve been searching the internet for the past 2 days for a simple explanation that doesn’t just consist of the pianist showing off for 10 mins and assuming the viewer is an expert. thank you SO much

[@onseanzion4363]

I searched over six videos before coming across this immaculate explanation. You are my friend, answered my question in less than two minutes and 37 seconds. Thank you so much

[@MrBlueHaze]

Excellent you are one of the best teachers on KZbin. Thank you.

[@PianoGroove]

+MrBlueHaze Thanks MrBlueHaze! You can find 5 more free lessons here: bit.ly/get-5-free-lessons You can also download a PDF worksheet containing all of the lesson notation: bit.ly/chord-extensions-pdf Cheers, PianoGroove

[@mokenanethagame6806]

Good mornin ,Please do a lesson on Db key showing all the Jazz&blue chords and their Progression

[@trs4437]

I understand chord construction and the stacking of thirds etc. but I just learned other pretty simple harmonic concepts that have escaped me (a lifelong self-taught guitar/mandolin player) for decades. This tutorial just underscores my appreciation for KZbin music teachers who so graciously and skillfully impart their wisdom, information that for so long was the purview of expensive lessons and formal music education beyond the ken of ordinary, not particularly gifted musicians like me. So thank you!

[@AustenBallard]

despite being classically trained and fluent in theory, i've never really been able to understand the keyboard voicings for "jazz" chords. you've just dispelled the mystery in under 20 minutes. thank you :)

[@mommy3ts]

YES HE DID 💯🎯

[@bman342a]

I agree, this was very helpful, and have been looking for this kind of tutorial for ages.

[@piazzolla1994]

I understand you and that's my same background. Classically trained violinist (orchestra, quartet and all the etc) but I've always been fluent in piano. I've learned piano by myself starting with chords and chord symbols. Once you "get" how to do 7ths (m & M) you're "down the hill."

[@eddydecolombia]

I have been looking for this for years, it's like it's been hiding from me and I found it all in here. thank you. You are clear and to the point. this will move me ahead this is the kind of thing that people need.

[@tonyl3012]

I’ve been playing guitar for around 8 years now. I have a decent grasp of extended chords. But I’ve only dabbled in piano. Took a couple semesters. I love jazz and am hoping to learn all the jazzy chords and take the knowledge to guitar. It’s a whole new world

[@davidpurvis5866]

I've got to say, i'm not even a piano player, but i'm trying to learn a bit more theory so I've been watching these videos and applying them to guitar and my overall theory knowledge, and these are fantastic and so easy to listen to. Lovely playing, cheers!

[@PianoGroove]

+David Purvis Thanks for the comment David. I do try to talk in terms of scale degrees so i would image all of the voicings are easy to transfer onto the guitar. All the best, PianoGroove

[@uhoh007]

I'm immersed in piano/organ lessons for 3 months now. This is the most concise, clear and helpful lesson I've seen yet. Thank You!

[@rationalsober]

a million thanks to this tutorial and your channel. Amazing!

[@RoseCadenza]

Oh my gosh! This makes so much more sense! I'm trying to learn chords, and this is perfect. Thank you!

[@miles-178]

brilliant explanation ... I´m a jazz drummer and I decided to learn how to make 7th, 9th, 11th and 13th jazz chords.... I started a week ago and I understood the system of C7, D7, E7 .. then Cmaj7, Dmaj7 .... now I get 9th, 11th and 13th ...... SOOOOO HAAAPPPPYYYY !!!!!!!! thanks million times for it

[@PianoGroove]

miles 178 No problem at all Miles - really glad to have helped you out! All the best, PianoGroove :-)

[@miles-178]

thank you, Sir

[@sandybickerton1844]

Been watching a few videos explaining chord extensions on piano and this is by far the best. I keep coming back

[@BethanyLowe8773]

Brilliant, just what I'm needing - interesting chords and a way to assimilate them. It's great that you don't take prisoners when explaining the theory. I find your accent really easy to listen to as well (I'm from Lincolnshire, how about you?).

[@GaryBook]

You take a complex topic and simplify it. Genius. Thank you.

[@weichen3777]

You light up my world with the magical music videos!

[@aholder4471]

Wow. This video is a gold mine. I've been playing for 30 years about and this was a missing piece that I knew but I didn't if you know what I mean. I think this video just upped my piano game.

[@teflo2]

Great lesson. It's clear as can be . You're an excellent teacher.

[@JohnnysaidWhat]

This was really helpful. There is so much inspiration in my mind when going through those chords in the circle of 5ths(4ths but you know what I mean)

[@freddyabreu3931]

When this man plays, I begin dreaming right away.

[@tangopaparomeo338]

Outstanding overview still after many years! Thank you.

[@micahlautenbacher2995]

I’m so grateful that I found your video! 9th, 11th, and 13 finally make sense! Can’t wait to watch more of your videos.

[@MsMGolden]

Thanks so much I've been looking for an explanation that really made sense so forming extended chords would not be so stressful.

[@Learn_Listen_Love]

You’re an amazing teacher 🧑‍🏫 thanks ❤️

[@ashaeva]

Finally! I understood. Thank you

[@WolframKlingsor]

Großartig. Äußerst hilfreich. Vielen herzlichen Dank für dieses tolle Video. Thank you so much.

Hi! I am really blessed with your chords lesson. A great resource for all jazz chords lovers. Thanks a lot and keep more videos. Good Work.

[@hansblom2518]

It took me sometime to find you on KZbin, but really this is what I need and missed with others. You are a great teachter and know to find the balance between theory and practice. Thanks a lot. Hans Blom Netherlands

[@mharris7190]

This is so helpful! Thank you. Being new to piano and theory, I just want to make sure I’m not missing something. At 12:03, he meant “circle of fifths,” right?

[@Ronno4691]

I got into Jazz Piano because I wanted to know how play these kind of chords that were in my Jazz Guitar books underneath the musical examples on the accompanying CDs. Now I just play Jazz Piano and the guitar's gathering dust!

[@AllForUke]

Great lesson. Looking forward to exploring more lessons like this on your channel. All the best - Kevin

[@skyro6138]

This is amazing and exactly what I was looking for! Tysm

[@coloripple]

jazzy hords make me so happy! i always end up finding them by accident when im playing something, but i'll give these exercises a try, so i could play them on purpose next time ;D +sub

Hi Clarence, no problem... glad you enjoyed the lesson :-) PianoGroove

[@mommy3ts]

Perfect,Absolutely Flawless Video I truly enjoyed watching and learning Thank you 💯💖

[@nicolasleoni4945]

Very interresting! tritonic substitutions work with chords 13th equivalent chords 7 #9#5 So you may play B13 to substitute a F7 or F#13 to play C7 #9#5. You may play also Gm7 F#13/ Fm7 E13 instead of Gm7 C7/Fm7 Bb7 before to go to a Eb. For a blues, Db13 (on the 4th time) C13 (on the "and")/ F#13 F13 etc...

[@ahbignarstie]

Really enjoy watching your finger work. Great lesson.

[@TheOutZZ]

Just came across this channel. You are truly inspiring and helpful! While I was looking at 11ths and 13ths I was like "The heck is that". Well... thanks for helping me understand 13ths :D.

[@PianoGroove]

[@barrybbenson9151]

So useful thank you!!!

[@leehayton]

That's excellent! I've learned a lot there my friend. Thanks

[@ttwa5328]

Great job as usual- thanks.

[@ivegotaname5400]

Kind of convenient how Cm11 is a Bbmaj, a Gm7, and an Ebmaj7 all at once.

[@Ronno4691]

Rootless voicings?

[@bsharpmajorscale]

One of my favorites is the C9 chord that has E natural and G flat, and I use that at the end of my "done playing" coda whenever I finish up playing piano. I do like the idea of that spicier version with the A and Bb, though. Might see how that sounds implemented into the sequence.

[@Leomusicalheart]

Thank you very much for the video! It's absolutely inspiring! Regards from Peru 🇵🇪 =) Thank you maestro

[@mattb0519]

So clear, thanks!

[@BearGryllsSpoofs]

Lovely! Thanks for the video :)

[@uki2116]

Preparing for Abrsm grade 8 theory and chord extension of 9, 11 and 13, I came across with this video. Didnt know that it’s also commonly used for Jazz. 😅 All of a sudden, I feel I became to know a lot more about Jazz music and chords! Thanks! I wonder if napolitan and 3 kinds of augmented 6th chords are also frequently used for jazz music? 🤔

[@RoshniS]

First of all great video! But I have a question...if you have a chord that has the notes C, Eb, G, Bb, and then directly the 11th, that is, F without the 9th wouldn't that be Cm7(add11)??? Alsoo what does it mean when a number is added in the bracket, for example, Am7(b13)???

[@karlvernor1690]

Love this video

[@harleybrookes]

Love jazz chords

[@premasru]

Thanks a lot. Helpful lesson.

[@AlexRome]

is it alright to combine major and minor chords in one song or would you generally keep a song either maj or min

[@youtoubic]

+Alex Rome A key in music (C major or A minor etc.) is usually made up of major and minor chords

[@alephomega386]

Roman: I ii iii IV V7 vi viihalf dim I I C maj: Cmaj dmin emin Fmaj G7 amin bdim Cmaj Common in pop would be a I V vi iii like Don't Stop Believing and pretty much every other song ever written

[@PianoGroove]

Yes of course you can combine chords... Jazz is constantly modulating through different keys which is what makes it sound so unpredictable and exciting. For example you could play 5 or more 251 in a typical jazz standard and all of these are different keys containing different major, minor, dominant -7b5 chords etc.. Always remember that in jazz, the key signature is effectively just there to make the tune easy to read and interpret. Hope this helps, PianoGroove

[@musaire]

I would add that the major chords in minor songs are what make the song minor (that is because of the contrasts it gives while moving to minor) and vice versa.

[@alteredmnd8976]

Music is about expressing yourself. dont worry too much about dos and donts

[@insolacion1978]

I can make inversions with the left hand? Is it mandatory that the base note is always more to the left?

[@redalert374]

Thanks man!!! Ur a legend! This is so informative

[@emery1057]

Ah!! Jokes on us! It's not Eb13 in your demonstration, but Eb7(b9)....i see youuuuu I absolutely love how you're breaking up the voicings for us and how to practice them. Always the circle of fifths. Thank you!!!

[@jeffreyng2270]

so much value thanks

[@mantiuscazaubon]

Keep up the great work!!!

[@luismesagrave]

These extensions are all taken in a major scale. Is this always the case? So, Cm9 adds to Cm the 9th taken in the major scale always? Is the major scale the reference in all cases then? Thanks

[@juancarloscruzdelossantos9300]

Excellent! , I Already Suscribed To be notified for the launch of your website

[@PianoGroove]

Juan carlos Cruz de los santos Great you signed up... lots of cool things to come on the website : )

[@scari_3656]

If you do not know how to play the extended "-m11" or "11" chords however you only now the Cm11/C11 chords. Try to remember these patterns (2,3,2,3,2) for (m11) or (3,2,2,3,2) for (11) (2,3,2,3,2) each number in the pattern is representing how many semitones there are in between the notes that you are playing. f.ex: C - Eb (C *-Db-* *D* - Eb). You can see that there are two notes between C to Eb. D and Db, therefore, the (2) is in the pattern. Same can be said for (3). Eb - G (Eb - *E* - *F* - *Gb*- G). E, F and Gb are the three notes in between Eb and G. By executing this pattern you ALWAYS have to start on the root note of what chord you are playing F.eks; Bm11, pretty self-explanatory, you start on the note B. Let us try the D-note as a root note for this scenario. Let us kick in the pattern (2 3 2 3 2) D-F-A-C-E-G And if we look upon the internet; it says that Dm11 contains the notes; D-F-A-C-E-G Let us try a different chord quality, an (11) extended-chord. F.ex: C11. We modulate the pattern a bit, so we are left with the pattern (3,2,2,3,2). Let us try to execute it. Root note we start with is A in this scenario (3 2 2 3 2) A-Db-E-G-B-D. And what do you know, the chord A11 contains the notes A, Db, E, G, B. Your welcome!
