I love sus chords. I'm glad we have such an amazing teacher like you among us. Now I can finally complete my music tasks.

[@qeinz]

[@08JSBeats]

yea he teaches very interesting stuff, not like the bunch of imposters out of there

[@johnwest6690]

i hate you all

[@stoicnotsad]

​@@qeinz 🤦😂😙

[@MERTYILMAZGAMES]

I used to vent about not being able to understand chords. I was sabotaging my progress by not studying theory.

[@booomkid]

It is unbelievable how much free content we can access nowadays over the internet. A appreciate every creator for sharing his knowledge 🙏

[@NoahKellman]

Thanks, Julian! Us educators appreciate you saying that 🙏

"All we're doing here is making that V chord sus" I KNEW that G7 couldn't be trusted!

[@daveaustin4538]

"No lack of emotional resolution". Dude, yes, yum!! Chord colors. Float away with those sus sounds, and the irony is that its from old church music: a 'religious' sound.. the resolutions tells us that "everything will be okay" if you 'believe' etc! Your enthousiasme for sound is one of your many gifts!

[@stephenhall2799]

I’ve been playing jazz piano for many years yet I’m still learning, Noah has given me insights and creative ideas to so much of what I thought I already understood. He’s added so much to my playing, Can’t thank Noah enough.

[@NoahKellman]

Just wanted to say a late thank you for this kind comment, Stephen.

[@ctaylorbruce1101]

I need to watch this again. Getting back into piano after many many years off. Thanks for posting!

[@alina_manuel_duo]

The harmonic world of the SUS Chords and the Add4 applied from simple triads to more complex ones with extensions is so colorful. This are nice tensions. Thank you very much Noah for sharing the universal knowledge of music.

[@E110g4r]

I love moving from sus to altered to get that beautiful inner voice movement.

[@lgndrybeast4711]

Hy I'm nceba nkalatay from south African and you videos have helped me improve my playing in church thank you. Much love from me and plz do continue with the help full tutorials.

[@jezt42]

Having been classically trained and being an amateur composer, these videos are a useful way to extend the palette of chords and sounds available. Definitely worth a follow. 👍

[@NoahKellman]

Thanks Jez so glad you find them helpful

[@donm3986]

I learned something new, and agree! The C 13 sus is a beautiful open-sounding chord!

[@faycalloulou4067]

Bonjour Noah, Merci beaucoup pour ce que tu fait pour les passionné de piano jazz. Chaque post donne de la lumière à mes journées et m'aident beaucoup à progresser. Continu, tu donnes du bonheur. Merci.

[@jonathanelambo26]

Honestly I was missing out. Thanks for this revelation of such soulful chords

[@lacotrim]

sus chords are such a wonder to listen to and coming from guitar and starting to larn the piano is just amazing what you can do with the voicing, such a joy to hear and to add to your harmony compositions, thanks for this

[@ajonie.a6986]

I always find myself inspired and fired up on my piano journey after watching your videos. Thanks for always being a blessing!

[@NoahKellman]

Thanks, Ajoni! So glad you have been enjoying them. Means a lot.

[@brianksmith1721]

Thanks for the tips. The moving up in minor thirds was new for me.

[@everoldbharath5777]

I'm learning to make my playing interesting and currently I am picking up on your tutorials.

[@ServingMyJesus]

Can you resolve from a sus chord to a minor chord?

[@lougnonnicolas8879]

Thanks from a french beginner pianist ! That’s amazing !

[@melvismusukwa1895]

This is amazing..simply given the easy way to formulate sus chords

[@phrankphenius2916]

Nicely explained and presented! Thanks

[@mayachalmers6622]

One of my favorite chords

[@thepuregospelofeluhymn187]

Thank you for your lessons . My playing have improved greatly. Thanks again.

[@wojtekstankowski-pianojazz721]

Thank you very much for the lesson. Many roads lead to Rome. Personally, I treat Csus4 as superimposing Mixolydian C chord C7 (bottom) with Mixolydian Bb,+4+7 (in the right hand) in the Ionic scale F. Then Gm7 is Doric G. The best example is "Mayden Voyage" by Herbie Hanckock. With the chord D sus4 you can play the scales: Lydian, Doric and the Ionic scale is like a landing pad - mother. The rest are combinations. Greetings 😇

[@Harriet-Jesamine]

Gee Sus! This is useful information. Thanks Noah. I truly appreciate what you do. guys and girls like you are the heroes of youtube. Yourself & piano with Johnny & London Contemporary School of Piano are the three most valuable KZbin channels for me at the moment. Hope to send all three of you a gratuity soon, in thanks for your efforts.

[@pianoabby]

Thank you for this video. I love sus chords and you gave me some really awesome insite and how to incorporate it better..Thank you so much!

[@ntruder5583]

I've been recently researching how to play and compose piano pieces and found it rather convenient for this video to appear before me. I'll be sure to check out the rest of the videos on this channel!

[@NoahKellman]

Thanks I appreciate that! Glad you found it

[@molineuxtv]

Feel the exact way with that Csus13! I can play that for ages and not want to move away from it!

[@joshuastclairmusic]

The sus13 chord revolutionised my playing, and especially my composition. I call it the master key chord, because you can modulate so smoothly with it!

[@eqapo]

What blows my mind about these dominant sus chord is that the min9 sound is all over it, which is such a subtle resolution going back to the I chord. Finally, I understand what makes this a modern sound over those super extended dominants w/ dimished sounding tensions!

[@yehudasilviogeritslatumahi6879]

Thank you so much!!!! This will help me a lot to perform

[@samuelford5330]

Absolutely gorgeous stuff. Have recently started getting jazz lessons for the first time and I can't get enough. Very keen to try out these sus chords, thanks for making such a great video (I know ill be watching it through a few times).

[@MFmaxx]

Looking forward to practicing your tutorial 👍🏾

[@ThomasM1175]

Such an amazing lesson!

[@goldnmean]

Watching this makes me once again marvel at our equal temperament system and how creative and inspiring such a symmetrical musical system can sound when in the right hands! Thanks for the inspiring yet practical guidance.

[@abatedesta]

Wonderful content and knowledge nuggets!

[@jasonargueta3481]

Thanks for the great info, you’re channel is amazing !

[@jonathandoherty4421]

I love the trick shifting the sus shape in minor 3rds. Simple to play but adds a feeling of colour and complexity

[@joeljesutano8299]

I've always wanted to know more on this subject. Thanks Noah you're the best.

[@slapmyfunkybass]

I agree on the sus2 vs 9. I teach music and often have to tell students they’re not inversions of each other, as you say, the 2nd wants resolution whereas the 9th doesn’t. If you’re looking for ideas I have one for you which I don’t think you’ve covered, though you’re welcome to use it. It’s only two chords but sounds very nice. It’s actually min11 dropping down a semitone to #11(no 3rd), but the easiest way of viewing it is with slash chords: G / A to Gb aug / Ab So, A, G, B, D Ab, Gb, Bb, D Works well in all keys

[@brianlindersmith1957]

I always love your videos Noah. As a teacher myself, you always give me a fresh perspective. I had no idea that 9's become 2's when any note is emitted from core 1357. I always thought 2's were referred to when no 7th was present in the chord. It's learning small details that make me excited to watch each new video you post. Also, I am currently taking your Reharm and Resolutions course and it's exactly what I was looking for. Glad to see your platform is popping off, you definitely deserve it. At some point I'll be ready sit down to a private lesson with ya 🤙🏻

[@delronmackay1473]

these chords arr just soothing

[@israeltheg9243]

These kinds of chords help me alot when I'm playing for my church, even though I'm started playing relatively recently I sound really good. THANKS 😊

[@emmosea]

liked and subbed - you taught me more in 5 minutes than I have learnt in a year - thanks!

[@douglasonstad8919]

Thanks, Noah. Very interesting.

[@internalpancake2924]

I've been watching your videos for about 2 months now. You're such a huge inspiration to me as I am currently learning piano

[@toddsmith235]

Thanks for the video. The application of sus chords always eluded me. This video sheds light on this topic and I'm looking forward to using more in my practice and performance applications.

[@marcalmerasmusic]

Great infos, txs a lot fo sharing your knowledge.

[@brenebriega6951]

Good day, it's really worth being subscribed to your channel. I never imagined it could be be utilised profoundly well. Very well executed by through your skills. Everyone could really learn a lot everytime. Wonderful techniques and clear explanations. I really appreciate it. God Bless you more.

[@chaunceygardener5098]

Thanks again for the lessons and inspiration!

[@milodube1631]

these chords are often written in the books as F/G or Fmaj7/G wether you want it 9 or 13. personally i like to use them a lot in ballads, they're a lighter version of dominant chords! u can also resolve them before going to the first degree if you want to delay.

[@avner1999]

Thank you ! Tried this on autumn leaves and it sounds so refreshing and modern, I love it !

[@bohdanm5244]

Wow, thanks for great tips. I used something similar by ear, but this explanation is so useful for clear understanding of using sus chords

[@chinoonthebeat8361]

You are the best teacher

[@lamontwilk18]

Thank you for posting this, I'm learning and this concept is what I have been stuck on. Again, 😊 thanks.

[@jefframey9561]

Love your content man!

[@ggoodson100]

Omgoodness.....Thank you so very much!!! I finally understand Sus Chords 👍 Absolutely Beautiful.

[@briankops]

Wow this video is so helpful! Thanks so much Noah for sharing this. Absolutely loved it! Will be using this quite a bit!

[@NoahKellman]

Sure thing, Brian!

[@shantverdun3953]

Thank you so much, Noah! I always get inspired to play my keyboard after watching your tutorials.

[@sstemba7090]

Great content! Thanks

[@DieterMerk]

Always so informative. The mystery and challenge of the piano are becoming less so ... thank you.

[@WhistlebirdInfinity]

Oooh ! The going up in minor thirds thing is definitely a trick I have heard Chick Corea do, but it went by in a blur - thanks for elucidating that!

[@spencerlivdahl6931]

Another great YT music creator and teacher. Thanks for the knowledge and I hope to get on your next offered course.

[@Momo-ib2hm]

Really enjoyed the video. Sadly I didn't quite get everything you said yet. But I imagine this is very helpful. I saved the video so I can watch it again, when I'm ready for those techniques. Thank you :)

[@kevinabundo]

The sound of the sus chords is soo sweet! love it! Great video Noah!

[@samjeon52]

this video was super helpful! I have been playing jazz for a few months now and was kinda lost on what to improve on. this was awesome!

[@RalphBrooker-gn9iv]

Interesting. One thing I learned is the relation between sus and slash chords. A iiVi from a real book using mainly dominant 7 chords is immediately awful. Nobody plays like that. And even if you don’t have the basic theory about extensions (broken 9ths, eg, Donna Lee) or sus chords, the mind sort of finds them eventually. I saved this video for future reference. The idea of a fold-away piano has blown my mind. Thanks for the lesson

[@2facexodus]

Your videos are so useful and impactful. Thanks for the free content.

[@filippersson5256]

This is gold bud!! 🙏

[@mothra87]

Thanks for your great content! Always well done.

[@heckensteiner4713]

Amazing! As a guitar player, I like to just slam my forearm on a big section of the piano and even jam a foot or two on there occasionally. It generates a horrific chromatic cluster that desperately wants to resolve.

[@okorieagwu9674]

Many thanks for exposing us to the limitless magic of the sus chord. Feel musically nourished already. Doubt if anyone needed this tutorial more.

[@EthanMinard]

I've learned so much about the language of jazz from your videos, thank you!

[@JF123456789654]

Great ♥️thats exactly what i needed, those jazzy chords to extend my Improvisation skills 👍🏻

[@Bashanvibe]

Nice!!! I’m going to have to use some of the advanced 5 chords!!!

[@ZephonJWG]

I've always viewed suspended chords as more of a low-tension dramatic tool, but you made me realize their incredibly diverse usage in jazz music too. Great video! 🙏

[@tropicvibe]

What a coincidence coming across this video while i had just started practicing sus 4th and sus 2nd chords a few days ago in their basic 3 note versions (R-4-5 and R-2-5). It had been suggested to me by a friend to familiarize myself with their sound, all inversions, both hands, all keys. I'll get to their chord extensions at some point though these also have a very nice sound. It was interesting that an inverted sus 4th chord not only creates a sus 2nd chord a perfect 4th away, but also a chord in 4ths in it's 2nd inversion!......btw, thanks so much for all the material you share here and in your other videos.

[@NoahKellman]

Love the content and your melodic lines of improv

[@justdope1963]

Really useful stuff as always. Thank you sir.

[@kaoshengkhang1651]

Thank you for such a informative video! I've been wondering what cords are and I thought you did such an amazing job explaining them!

[@ToddThomas]

Had fun playing along with you on this. As best I could since I am intermediate at best. Honestly, I had a hard time following along with much of what you were saying but I stepped to my piano and played that sus chord and then just played up and down the piano on it and it sounded very nice. Thanks!

[@andy-simmons]

Nice one, Noah. This will be a fun one to practice.

[@pianistdannie338]

This is really interesting to get such vast knowledge for free

[@ashtxnparris8224]

I love sus voicings, espeically with the flat 7 when voiced 1 4 b7, the open fourths is a nice sound

[@wtumadremtupadre]

Great video!

[@baffourappiah3853]

Dude, I love this new look and the new chords as well.

[@donniediago]

Great video helping me understand sus chords

[@manugajanan3979]

This is awesome, man. Love the way you have explained the concepts. 🙌🏾 I’m a huge fan of using sus chords in this way. Inverting those minor 9 chords in the right hand creates some juicy harmony.

[@franciscopereira2688]

Another awesome lesson, thank you for sharing your knowledge with us, Noah!

[@cris.cooper]

Amazing sounding chord, so colorful. Thanks for such a good explanation dude

[@ji6664]

I’m constantly discovering new things that can spice up my playing 1 video at a time. Though I admit that it does take time for me to internalize these different concepts and tricks so I’m glad I could always go back to these videos as reference when trying to relearn them. Love your vids, and also the recent influx of your shorts on my video feed. Thanks for sharing your knowledge with us!

[@TerenceKoo]

Love the concept of moving up by minor thirds! Thank you so much for sharing your knowledge.

[@dwdwmusic4876]

Awesome content, thanks for your work! Which visulization software do you use to display keys, notes and chord symbols?

[@druhawks]

Believe me. Noah's courses are worth the attention and time. Thanks Noah!

[@bigphil5042]

Bro you're a great pianist and should have millions of subscribers

[@TimotheeDuport]

I’ve never finished one of your video without having learned crazy new stuff !! Thank you so much for the treasures you give to the world !

[@anthonys2095]

I’ve been learning so much theory thanks to this channel. Thank you for what you do.

[@scottlangstaff8994]

Thanks so much for yet another very useful technique. I’ve applied several of your suggestions to my playing and I’m very interested to see what’s coming next!
