Beautiful❤

[@grantmoon689]

Really useful info clearly presented - thank you Chris!

[@ImpliedMusic]

Glad it was helpful!

[@2und2sind4]

Great lesson. I would love a second part to this where you show similar non diatonic chord progressions based in minor

[@RandyBakkelund]

I love that example where you go from C major to C# minor! That sounds so good, I had to pick up my guitar after I heard that.

[@juneabbey9538]

Chris, you just made my head explode. Again. I love it!

[@ImpliedMusic]

Boom😆🙏

[@timflatus]

Thanks Chris. Although I've used non-diatonic chords in my writing, I didn't really know why apart from liking them. You've given me a bit more of a method. This more advanced stuff is what I'm interested in, so I finally subscribed.

[@jesusislukeskywalker4294]

best thing you’ve ever done ❤

[@CraigPMiller]

Awesome - I understood most of that ... mostly. Needs a few re-watches 🥴😎👍

[@konrid22]

So awesome and inspiring example providing! :)

Guitarist here. Loved this video and made me more attentive as the lay out is different.Thanks!

Really good tutorial! Thank you for everything you do

[@ImpliedMusic]

My pleasure!

[@reverb.deluxe]

Very useful. Thanks!

[@ImpliedMusic]

Thank you!

[@nespstudio8803]

I’ve done this technique before and although it was “wrong” it sounded great… so I kept it! Now I know what to call it.

[@cfibanez]

Super! thanks.

[@PeterRShawTube]

Wowee, I love how you lay everything out unhurriedly and clearly yet you cover what seems like tons of ground with your seven-league boots! I’ll be going through this carefully a few times. Some day I’ll look back and maybe this material will be more second nature. Bravo!

[@Jimmy.Williams]

Great video, loved the clear explanations, suoer easy to follow and appreciate. Keep up the great work!

[@ImpliedMusic]

thanks, glad you got something out of it!

Love it.

[@danielleohallisey4218]

Really appreciate your tutorials, Chris! As always I come away informed and inspired…

[@ImpliedMusic]

Great to hear!

[@markcox5385]

Gershwin’s ‘Someone To Watch Over Me’ is a great example of a diatonic melody with rich non-diatonic chords. It creates a feeling of simplicity at the same time as an emotional yearning. Definitely worth a close look!

[@ImpliedMusic]

yes. exactly. i use that to teach the concept with my piano students. another good one is "my romance". also every Keith Jarret first chorus solo ever ;-)

[@cd-sq8bi]

Thanks Chris, borrowing from the parallel minor sounds terrific

[@ImpliedMusic]

Agreed.

[@flyondonnie9578]

If you like that, try the opposite: minor tonality & borrow I, IV and V from the major. I’m a big fan of varying between V and v at different points in a section.

[@cd-sq8bi]

@@flyondonnie9578 thanks l'll try that

[@poobens]

This was incredibly enjoyable and inspiring. I learned a lot! Thank you!

Please make a video on chromatic mediant in depth

[@ImpliedMusic]

great suggestion, it's never out of style. one of my first successful videos is basically right in that lane. kzbin.info/www/bejne/gqu6ooNtqteFatEfeature=shared

[@Roarksmusic]

Still helping 1 year later! Am looking for the right chord tones to write a tribute song to my dying pet pug of 13 years while he chills beneath my feet in my home studio.

[@FondueBrothers]

I'm going to have to leave my comfort zone and take a leap into uncharted waters.

[@jesusislukeskywalker4294]

young man ☝️ you’ve done your own research obviously 😬

[@BarryTheElephant]

Maybe not within the definition of non diatonic, but I’m sure you’re a great person to try and ask. I’ve always been enchanted by the music of Jon Hassell, whereby his trademark trumpet sound involves what sounds like pitch-shifting a parallel tone 5 semitones up (an augmented 3rd?). If you’re familiar with his work, what do you think would be the ideal conventions to keep in mind if trying to compose with this kind of leading sound?

[@ImpliedMusic]

love Hassel. his body of work is broad, but you can distill some conventions. first, you've got the pitch tracking. he's tracking in 4ths, sometimes up and down. then the scales... he's always using unconventional modes, and of course they vary. last, there's the expressive components, phrasing with pitch, volume, timbre. his organic backing tracks are second to none, and i know he put a lot of time into sourcing inspiration from world music. i've used the Seaboard Rise to emulate that vibe, but the analog pitch tracked trumpet.... that's in a class by itself. kzbin.info/www/bejne/aKPOe6tjg9WfmLMfeature=shared
