[@brendaninglis_333]

Awesome video Simon! More Robert G please!!

[@robf912]

There's a really nice video of Emily Bear and Jesus Molina going absolutely nuts on this progression. Thank you so much for posting this tutorial!

[@Piano_Pig]

Hell yeah that's such an awesome duet! :D

[@chriswright2553]

They are both incredible

[@crusaderrjm]

Simon is the Chick Corea of Great Britain. No lie I had to SMASH that 'Like button'.

[@Piano_Pig]

Hahaha thanks man!

[@alamolalamol9426]

You are just brilliant.

[@dfaria1000]

This is a really nice lesson. Thanks.

[@matthewsaul3533]

I love this! I’d like to ask for a request. I’m sure you’ve got you’re own plans for what lessons you want to do. If you like the idea I’d love to see a video breaking down and explaining what the piano is doing on John Coltrane’s After The Rain.

[@geeano9232]

Such a great video, even for me a beginner

[@adilsonjr5705]

Hey Simon, Por donde andabas? Grandioso vídeo, como siempre!!! Saludos !

Sounds great

[@iLemmyG]

thank you

[@chriswright2553]

Excellent choice of material Simon. Would you fancy doing something on Moonchild? There's plenty to go at.

[@Piano_Pig]

Great suggestion! :)

[@chriswright2553]

@@Piano_Pig Are you a fan? How about "Cure"? Awesome sequence. Have you seen the version they did for Spectrasonics? The intro sequence is divine. kzbin.info/www/bejne/qGrPmZiMbLeKfZo

Simon can do everything well. What is up Simon!

Thanks!

[@Piano_Pig]

My pleasure!

[@larsuk9578]

Nice one, thanks. Isn't the Fm11 the "Herbie Hancock chord"?

[@jamesspells3576]

I love the way he teaches he breaks it down reaiy good my name is James I would love your course

[@Piano_Pig]

Glad you enjoyed the vid James! It would be cool to see you in the Academy - look forward to it 😉

What voices are used on the keyboard

[@carlosrob6494]

peace; This is dope!!

[@Solomon.Y_Music]

Tq for the video sir

[@didierlinsen3712]

Nice. In which key are we ?

[@j_fitz]

Didier Linsen c min

[@didierlinsen3712]

@@j_fitz Interesting. I add a root a fourth below for the first three chords. That gives Cmin11 Dmin11 Em11 Cmaj13 Fm11 i 2passing chords V/iv iv

[@thabisomlambo5802]

Which key is the song played on?

[@porory_cat]

6:45

[@ethanzhou3173]

how does one even begin understanding how to construct these kind of chords naturally?

[@zekegonzales5056]

^^

[@malcolm_mal2055]

fooling around with chords that dont have a connection function wise but just sound nice and interesting should be a nice way to start

[@skaterhugs1147]

playing and practicing piano for like 20 years

[@hamisharchibald740]

all the m7b13 are just fourth voicings the maj13 one is also sort of fourths (A-D-G and B-E) the fm11 is a cluster chord with the 9th on the top as melody

[@robertmichalscheck3072]

Creativity and talent

[@Ricocase]

Golden lady Glasper

[@twinstereo]

What software do you use for your videos? If you don't mind me asking.

[@xyshomavazax]

Why aren’t the first chords Eb9/G, F9/A, G9/B?

[@taroichi2585]

I think so too. Eb(add2)onG F(add2)onA G(add2)onB

[@danielhicksmusic]

You're right they are all slash chords

[@fromcodex]

does your subscription website provide courses to learn to play soulful chords like this ?

[@Piano_Pig]

I have an entire course teaching and analysing 5 neo-soul chord progressions which you'll get a lot of value from if you enjoyed this video!

[@albertrodrigo2432]

Does anyone know what keyboard Simon is using?

[@Piano_Pig]

It's a Nord Stage 2 HA88 :)

[@adele19b3]

This gave me carpal tunnel

[@saschavbt]

why did you chose to improvise in Cmin? what's the reasoning behind that?

[@Alex-cw7xf]

I had the same question, but when spelling out all the notes in the chords you'll notice that they mostly live in the C Aeolian/ C minor scale (C, D, Eb, (E), F, G, Ab, (A) Bb, (B)). The A, B, and E natural in this case are outside the mode but are probably chromatic passing notes which I think makes this more of a C min / F min Bebop scale, or maybe F Dorian with a major /minor third, a natural 7 + b7, and a tritone?? ... a little beyond my understanding and perhaps not important, but someone else that knows more about jazz theory/harmony will probably school me here. ;)

[@theuncone161]

pianopig discord anyone?

[@mrq_pro]

I would say the first chord is Ebadd2/G. Not really functioning as a minor chord?

[@Jdizzle6969]

Nah fam

[@eduardog8758]

That chick corea sound its fantastic hi from México

[@Lazzw26]

idk id call the first chord a eb sus2 over the third

[@danielhicksmusic]

It's "awww yeah" not "aaaah yeah"
