Interesting Chords Corner: 13#11 (13 Sharp 11)

[@juliocalderon4687]

Subscribing cuz the cat

[@MangoldProject]

The best reason.

[@Skibbityboo0580]

What kind of chord is that?

[@musicalintentions]

That progression was beautiful. Thank you as always for sharing with us.

[@MangoldProject]

You're welcome.

CHROMATIC SCALE TUTORIAL PLEASE

[@robertmichalscheck3072]

I like how you teach,some of these yt tutorials want to spend too much time listening to themselves talk,can’t watch those,yours are more direct and to the point,thank you.

[@MrVinnyVp]

Wow! I learned two important things. Note omissions and again how important Tri-Tone Substitutions are. Thanks Mangold!

[@marinduque-theheartoftheph]

This is tops! Really colorful chords, progressions, and subs. Charming cat provides pleasing background ;)

[@TheAtelierone]

Excellent presentation. And the cat! now there's a brilliant an unexpected embellishment!

[@hobbyhobbyhobbyhobby]

how cute would it be to have a small chair facing a tiny toy piano for his cat to sit at while he plays!

[@kingofsol]

Easy shorthand to remember this voicing is to play the Tritone of a dominant chord (it’s third and seventh) and a major chord a whole step up from the original chord.

[@willlarche]

You're amazing. Please teach us more and more. You went over things I had heard before but had trouble understanding. Now I get them!

[@apparentlybrian]

The Dm7 - Db13#11 - Cmaj9 is 🔥Great explanation thx. The cat was diggin' it too

[@MangoldProject]

Thanks! She's still digging it, six years later! That's her when I first found her: kzbin.info/www/bejne/mpDGgnqBpJh0qac

[@LibertyJava]

One of the BEST videos i have yet to see on this channel, still banging out all the infinite possibilities on the keyboard :)

[@gilgillis3816]

Very good! Thanks. I really like the numbers over the notes. Helps very much to remember.

[@BAwesomeDesign]

Glad i was able to pick up the 3-6-2-5-1 before you explained it (with the two tritone subs for both the 3 and 5) Also to add... looks like you can think of this as a 3-b7 shell in the left hand with a major triad up one step (D major triad) in the right hand.

[@MaxTooney]

Definitely learned something interesting--that it's OK to omit the root. (I always omit the fifth.) I do see why you do omit the root when you use the tritone substitution. Great video, and thanks for devoting a lesson to my favorite chord!

[@harunbugbug]

thank you for this! it sounds amazing I shall practice AND YOUR CAT IS SO CUTEEE

[@MangoldProject]

Thanks! I have three of them and they're like the easter eggs in my videos :)

[@jackscot5952]

you are the best online piano teacher ive ever seen ive been following you for a while now ive improved too thanks and thumbs up

[@maryjasmineazul2024]

Thankyou for the learnings i learn many things in your first lesson i will watch your videos so that i can intimidate myself becoming a pianist thank you so much i hope a good well for me and to you too thanks

[@csmcrckrs]

Great explanation, extra like for the cat.

[@MrMusicgenius]

Barry Harris Family of 4 dominants. All dominants come from a diminished 7 chord. A diminished 7 (A C Eb Gb). Lower any of the notes by a half step and makes a dominant chord. Ab C Eb Gb= Ab 7 A B Eb Gb = B7 A C D Gb = D7 A C Eb F = F7 So in the key of C. G7, Bb7, Db7, E7 all works because it comes from G#/Ab diminished 7. If you notice the notes G,Bb,Db,E spells out a G diminished chord. So if you combine the G diminished and the G#/Ab diminished it creates the half whole diminished scale. Notes: G - Ab - A# - B - C# - D - E - F Left hand plays G7 ; right hand plays Ab diminished 7 = G7b9 G7 + Bb7 G7+ Db7 G7 +E7 All you need to do now is experiment with voicings to come up with some interesting sounds. I hope this helps.

[@cupid2653]

What an amazing lesson. Thank you for spending some of your time to help others! =)

[@MangoldProject]

My pleasure.

[@Bauzmann]

Lovely! Thank you very much for this! It reminds me Gerry Mulligan's Night Lights album

[@MangoldProject]

[@mantrapotro]

You're really great...!! Thanks for share us your art...!!

[@theacan565]

Always learning!! TY SIR!!

[@RafikelJar]

congrats on 100k subs man ! I love your vids and I learned a lot from you, Thanks ! :)

[@MangoldProject]

Thanks Rafik! I'm still wondering what I should do for the 100k sub video :)

[@jairoevangelista5008]

amazing chords thanks

[@menglin7432]

The Db13#11 can also be thought of as a Galt rootless chord, since it is used as a dominant chord. Also, different perspective on the D13#11 is a Gbm11b5. The alt scale seems to work well with these chords Its so trippy cos theres so many ways of thinking of the same chord.

[@menglin7432]

An afterthought, the Db is a tritone away from G, so maybe that was a tritone substitution of G?

[@laladyyoavila8509]

You are the best!You are awesome, keep it going.

[@MangoldProject]

I intend to :)

[@bsharpmajorscale]

It's cool, but if you omit the 1st and 5th, is it really a C chord?

[@MangoldProject]

There is some ambiguity in there, but the important degrees have been retained.

[@philosyche]

@@MangoldProject forgive my ignorance in music theory, but wouldn't the fact that all the notes that are played are from the C scale mean that it is in fact a C chord?

[@MangoldProject]

@@philosyche No. As a counterexample, consider the notes D, F, A. All are from the C major scale, but playing them all together creates a D minor chord.

[@philosyche]

@@MangoldProject ahhh, that makes sense. Thanks for the reply, i'm really learning quite a lot from your videos.

[@giaguaroturchinoYOY]

Another reason why it is very common to omit 1st and 5th is because Bass players play them for you, so you can focus on color

[@Lithuania8634]

A really neat sounding chord change is from Em7 to Fmaj13(#11)

[@AY-ct8yj]

liked the videos before watching it 👍

[@kentvandervelden]

Balances out the person who disliked before watching? Seriously though, I also automatically hit like and am never disappointed. This particular episode is pretty advanced for my skill level though. Something to continue to work towards.

[@PIANOSTYLE100]

Kent VanderVelden Paste this info. I am doing this on a cell phone. This sounds complicated but is broke down in small pieces. Here is a.shortcut and why it works. I look for anchors in music. In a simple form play root and flat 7 ( in c it would be the notes c and bflat ) with the left hand ✋ with the right ✋ play the d triad . Note you just played a c13#11. So the rule or (trick) is play the the dominant chord with Left the left ✋ and the major triad one whole step above. , I'll use c the notes all go up one step. The ceg will go up to d e f# ( the ninth , the sharp 11 and the 13th. it seems like magic but it makes since the the 8th goes to nine the third goes to #4 (11) and the fifth gores to 6(13).,

[@BAwesomeDesign]

Only if he says "welcome back" and does that hand gesture ;)

[@BAwesomeDesign]

Just noticed this, after posting something very similar above.

[@ahmadharis518]

As usual, liked the video prior to watching it!

[@okarynolot]

Hi, great video, thank you. So we have some extended dominant based on melodic minor. 13#11 is builded on IV of melodic minor scale where base (bass) is VII.

[@Saxyworld]

Christmas time is here is one song we can all recognize with this chord

[@j-sinister9274]

i was wondering why i thought this sounded like the charlie brown christmas album lol

[@geraldadams9528]

Very nice.

[@BonelessEnergy]

The cat at 0:23 got me scared

[@sherlock5141]

Thank you Mangold for sharing this handy chord! It's technically flawless. Sounds amazing!

[@kenwiltshire7834]

Wonderful

[@markjaylandes]

An easy way to play this 13 #11 is to play the tritone in the left hand and the RH chord is a whole step down from the bottom note in the tritone. Ex. LH-D, Ab RH-C, E, G(C major)

[@casparps]

omg this sounds so good i think im gonna make a song with this

[@enorckgusma9193]

thanks broh....👊ur the best.....

[@saadalhumaid8043]

Thank you very much

[@paxwallacejazz]

If you understand this chord as one of a family of chords belonging to the modes of the melodic minor scale you're getting a better higher overview. Other notable chords from this family include the fully altered dom chord the maj7+5 The susb9 the ø7+9 and - maj7 chords

[@MangoldProject]

Interesting. Would you be willing to elaborate? The only 7th chord I can see built on the melodic minor is the dom7. When I add extensions I don't get a 13#11. I'm not sure how using modes would solve that.

[@mackquinney7427]

I always get so much out of your videos. Thanks for excellent lesson!

[@MangoldProject]

You're welcome Mack.

[@BAwesomeDesign]

Looks like this functions as the DOM chord (because of the flat 7), which makes sense because it pulls to both the vi and the I (the stable/"ending" scale tones). I'm guessing anything with a flat 7 will function as the DOM in a diatonic progression.

[@p1anosteve]

Just reading comments. As no one has answered, it's actually the major 3rd and minor 7th together which define the dominant chord. A minor 7th interval is also in minor and half diminished chords as well as the dominant chord. Hope this helps.

[@abhinavkhokhar362]

thank you so much! cute cat

[@MiLaDoB]

love this thx

[@joshuakatta7094]

could you please make a video demonstrating all types of interesting chords, just the names with one example

Well, this is precisely what this particular series is for ... there is an enormous variety of "interesting chords" out there, so I can't hope to cover even 5% of them in a single video.

[@bryanchristopher75]

2:22 :') so touching

[@naomianderson1321]

can you use flats / sharps, whikst playing in the key of C. if yes which ones ??

[@lucas34540]

Any of them you want, as long as you like the way it sounds. There really is no cut and dry answer, it all depends on context.

[@MangoldProject]

Theory-wise, your question deserves a very complex answer which is beyond a comment in the comment section. But I also agree with Lucas's answer :).

[@naomianderson1321]

Lucas Cram Lucas Cram okay thank you ☺... but arrgh i still feel so confused 😣. @mangoldproject, is it possible to do a video to explain??

[@lucas34540]

Check out these two concepts. Both are going to have you using notes from outside your home key (so flats and sharps if you're in C). But they do so in a structured way that might be easier to understand. Obviously using out-of-key notes is not limited to these two situations, but it's a start. One of them was even discussed in this video (tritone subs). en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Borrowed_chord en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tritone_substitution

[@malifraz8945]

What's the significance in adding a b to a c maj9 chord?

[@emery1057]

I'm still trying to understand why the D13#11 tritone substitutes an Ab7 chord. I would never use an Ab7 chord in the key of C as part of a natural chord progression; an E7 and G7 yes! You don't explain when we get to the Ab7 part of the video. The Bb13#11 and the Db13#11 work by tritone substitution, but i think the D13#11 chord works only because of the extension notes function as leading tones to the 3rd, 5th, and 7th of the Dmin7 chord.

[@MrMusicgenius]

Barry Harris Family of 4 dominants. All dominants come from a diminished 7 chord. A diminished 7 (A C Eb Gb). Lower any of the notes by a half step and makes a dominant chord. Ab C Eb Gb= Ab 7 A B Eb Gb = B7 A C D Gb = D7 A C Eb F = F7 So in the key of C. G7, Bb7, Db7, E7 all works because it comes from G#/Ab diminished 7.

[@ircensko7324]

+MangoldProject Thank you for this informative lesson. Can you please make a video on DominantSeventh Augmented Chords?

[@cyvd]

whats one like that but with a major 7th? like 1 3 7 #11 13

[@willemjansen1141]

I loved your video but something is not clear to me. I still see the second chord as an E7, so I think of the triad a whole tone up from E, which would be an F# triad. How do you know from which root you have to think? The rest of the video I understand because when you are going from Dmaj to Dmin you play the triad a whole tone up from D. Same thing with the Db. It's like the root really changes with that second chord, so it makes it unclear what triad to use for me. I would love a reaction because not knowing how is really troubling me...

[@MangoldProject]

The second chord is a D13#11. It is the first chord transposed up two semitones (just take the first and transpose it if you don't believe me). If you agree the first chord is a C13#11, then the second chord must be a D13#11.

[@PIANOSTYLE100]

David can you hold your hands on the piano just a little bit longer. I pause it and look at it and it and is sometimes a blur. PS. I haven't found the link.

[@MangoldProject]

The link is there now. I always have to strike a balance between pace and clarity. That's what the on-screen keyboard is for: it shows the notes with highlighting, and you can easily pause the video and take a comfortable look.

[@samshaven3573]

That Bb ur saying. Isn't that more of E7#9#13?

[@lord.d1_]

Cat: stop playing hooman my turn

[@darelfinkbeiner4473]

That first chord looked like Bb aug maj7 /E

[@didierlinsen3712]

it's a I vi ii V with secondary dominant chords before vi and V, right?

[@MangoldProject]

There's a secondary dominant (tritone-substituted!) before the vi. Before the V there is a II7, ii, V, so I wouldn't call the II7 a secondary dominant really in this context.

[@kagerou4364]

Can you create a tutorial fpr CHROMATIC SCALES on PIANO ??

[@MangoldProject]

What would you like to know?

[@jimkangas4176]

Another way to see this is D/C7 (D-F#-A, the 9, #11, and 13 of C7 is a D major triad). Such a great sound.

[@malifraz8945]

What's the significance in adding A b to a c major 9 chord?

Dunno.

[@opiekundps8806]

Hi What do you know about Bm7 11/5-/9- chord? :) it looks scary :D I would like to see some examples of improvisation using this chord,arpeggios etc You know where I can? Second question Which chords sound best (with high tension) against other chords ? I mean chord in accompaniment for example Cmaj7 and chord in solos for example...F#maj7(f# g# a# b c# d# f)* or C#maj7(c# d# f f# g# a# c ) *instead of Fmaj7(fgabcde) or Dm7(defgabc)

[@MangoldProject]

It's fishy, I can tell you that ... I've seen it steal a cookie out of the cookie jar!!!

[@MangoldProject]

Can't really say anything about it without musical context. Maybe if you can provide some I'll be a bit more specific.

[@opiekundps8806]

I'm starting to study "Playing outside" (pride) ;D and I am experimenting but the usual half tone down or up does not meet my expectations. Something is missing there because I do not have creeps, gooseflesh and shivers on skin :) Context?Chord in accompaniment :> Let our context will be key C and a tonal chord for the Ionian scale - Cmaj :) And now we want to gradually increase the tension More and more until most of our friends say we are out of tune ;D But on the other hand professional musicians get anxiety neurosis severe anxiety ,melting mood take their breath away ...and our music will be included in the list of things banned by the church as "diabolus in musica 2 - reactivation" :D

Which program do you use to show the notes that you're playing in real time? Thanks and congratulations. It was useful to me.

A lot of voicings omit the root. It's not that important. 3rd, 7th and highest tension get top priority.

Definitely. Chord voicings without the root even have a special name: they're called "rootless voicings".
