Interesting Chords Corner: 7b9

[@shanegreybeldia7039]

Question: In your chord progression, it appeared Dm9 2:48 but you played the Dm11 because you added G note.. Am I correct? Thanks!

[@shanegreybeldia7039]

And in 2:59, it’s a G7b9 not a G7b13 coz you added Ab (b9) instead of Eb (b13). Please correct me if I’m wrong. Great Video! Cheers!

[@shanegreybeldia7039]

Or G13b9 perhaps?

[@MangoldProject]

Correct, it should be Dm11 and G13b9. My bad. Edit: just got yourself pinned :)

[@ilhamyt96]

you are so amazing at teaching music even a guitarist like me can follow your videos and use it for playing. much of thanks from indonesia sir :)

[@synthicify]

I love the addition of the virtual keyboard. It is super useful to get a better overview of what keys you are actually pressing. Keep up the good work :)

[@JuliusKhoo]

Thank you for this video! Shows me how much deeper music can get and where I can get in the future :)

[@nickywatersmuzik3028]

That chord progression was absolutely beautiful.

[@pilotgundul]

sir, as always.... thank you. God Bless you!

[@straycat7247]

An excellent video! Deep and clear at the same time, no small feat !

[@Ndo01]

Wow they sound so good

[@MangoldProject]

I only supply the best sounding and freshest chords. :)

[@Ndo01]

Can you maybe do a video on Aaron Copland type open americana sounding chords?

[@MangoldProject]

Interesting request. His Appalachian Springs ballet influenced me musically growing up. What would you consider to be "americana sounding chords"? (link to video & time point, please)

[@Ndo01]

Hard to pinpoint just one since I haven't done ear training. All his stuff sounds americana to me, appalachian spring included. They all sound like stuff that could be in a cowboy western frontier type movie. One chord I heard he uses a lot is (E, G, C, D, G, B), that's that kind of open, clear sound I'm curious about how to use and find more of.

[@MangoldProject]

That's a polychord, a.k.a. a stacked chord. Try these: kzbin.info/www/bejne/qWmqg4KqfJiXa9E kzbin.info/www/bejne/pGO8o6KFqNygZqc

[@madinagaijinboy]

I learnt something from this video. Looks like if C is omitted, the notes of the 7b9 chord fit in the diminished chord E G Bb Db, when the tritone in the RH Db and G are moved to the LH, it forms a diminished chord.

[@MangoldProject]

Correct! There are usually multiple ways of interpreting advanced chords.

[@YosuaOs]

nice voicings, thank you for sharing

[@MangoldProject]

You're welcome!

[@mcadder]

Awesome tutorial!! Thx from Sweden!

[@MangoldProject]

Thanks back from Israel!

[@nusstu]

Very good lesson. Love your chords

[@TaffmanGuyo]

Thank you, I love your interesting videos, best wishes from the U.K.

[@MangoldProject]

Greetings back from Israel :)

[@liliyaninova9368]

That's a great idea! Thank you for this video! :)

[@MangoldProject]

You're welcome.

[@ssrrapper]

Correction: At 2:59 it says G7b13 and should read G13b9.

[@MaestroAlekss]

Great work. I'm wondering if you could share your insights about modes? I know the theory but I want to explore more and apply it in everyday playing. Thanks!

[@kareemakhtar6691]

Nice video to get that 'jazz' sound

[@MrVinnyVp]

Very interesting in deed.

[@ADRIANNORMANNINA]

Very usefull video!

[@josemichee2820]

Wow 🔥👍👌🙏

[@aswardjnocharles5305]

Very Interesting . thx sir

[@beachforestmountain4269]

That sure is one I've been missing. When I hear it, I have no idea what it is. Thanks MangoldProject, you're the best. Do the piano and guitar share the same voicings, or do the voicings sound different between the two instruments? Sometimes on guitar we're forced to use certain voicings because some are impossible to position the fingers into.

[@MangoldProject]

Piano and guitar usually use different voicings because of the obvious constraints on fingering chords on guitar (only one hand, max. 6 notes).

[@beachforestmountain4269]

Thanks friend. Despite having been learning guitar for 35 years - I actually prefer to play the piano because of the musical versatility you can get from it. I wish I had started with piano, then learned guitar, rather than the other way around.

[@darrylsimpson1862]

MangoldProject Could you post or out the chords that you played in PDF.?

[@MangoldProject]

I'm afraid I don't have the time to do so. You can take screenshots with the on-screen keyboard showing and post them to a word processing file which you can then just print out - it should work equally well (albeit less pretty).

[@beachforestmountain4269]

MangoldProject - I actually made screenshots and compiled them into an image file. KZbin blocks all comments with links in them, so I couldn't share the link here. What I'll do, is I'll private message you with the link and you can post it in the description if you want to. Give me a few minutes to re-find the link.

[@hanseljeremiahivander7743]

thank you for your inspired channels, very usefull, and keep going to make a video lesson !! :)

[@MangoldProject]

More coming up :).

[@JoshFlorii]

Amazing videos. I'm working on a plugin to easily generate creative chords, this is very useful content.

[@marcopepe4046]

Nice, nice! :) I need to start from minor 9 b voicing to memorize, but It's worth! ;) Thank you.

[@tjulers]

This is the “Ravel chord” !

[@Ojokernegro]

So referring to the progression you start playing at around 2:32: What's the main difference if at G11 I play G9. That is to say: G,D,F,A,B,D? It sounds better to me, but I'm not sure if it throws the whole progression off, or if it's actually interchangeable. An opinion would be much appreciated in this regard. Thanks in advance!

[@MangoldProject]

There's no big difference, just different chord colors. G11 and G9 are interchangeable in this context.

[@Ojokernegro]

Different chord colors, I see. I've seen that expression before, but never has it fit like it does at this very instance. Tweaking your progression a little bit does feel somewhat like painting lol. Thanks for getting back to me so soon and again thank you so much for these videos. I'm a super beginner keyboard player somewhere in south west coast Africa and as an adult beginner I don't have much time/money to look for piano instructors (since it's rather expensive here due to the popularity of the instrument, and I've got other responsibilities), so having convinced myself that I can get to where I want just by sheer willpower and perseverance alone I'm so very glad and fortunate to have your channel available to learn all of this. I haven't dared to play to anyone yet (friend or family) but I can see the progress and I just wanted to say that spending hours playing the same thing to end up noticing my hands move just a little faster when I attempt to play something else is one of the most satisfying feelings in this life. So thank you for that Mr. MangoldProject; a couple of years ago I was sure I'd die without learning how to play an instrument, but here I am. Playing the keyboard. Sakidila! :)

[@sanganonim]

Thanks very good and say hi to your cat 👍🏻

[@baassman]

Wawww! I have a lot of homework 😵

[@goodcyrus]

Thank you for the video dear. What is the chord function? Cant it be a tonic?

[@MangoldProject]

Maybe in a blues.

[@backspace3111]

i'm still learning a lot about jazz, so forgive me if im wrong, but is that like using a secondary dominant?

[@MangoldProject]

I was just presenting a chord, not talking about its functional role, so I'd have to say "no".

[@jijst5]

2:58 is also a 7b9 no? I dont see a b13

[@chidinduuwaeziozi7360]

Nice voicing. Did I see a #13?

[@MangoldProject]

I should've probably notated that as just an 11th chord, seeing as #13=b7.

[@eduardoaguileraneicun5876]

hi master, ¿this chord is can used in a simple progression? like c, am, g and after this chord?

[@MangoldProject]

The answer is very dependent on the music you're playing, but the general answer is yes, of course!

[@MariUSukulele]

not a key player here … quite interesting, that not the root, but the tritone is in the left hand

[@bsharpmajorscale]

mM7 is also an interesting chord ;-)

[@MangoldProject]

There's no shortage, don't worry :)

[@adamholm2436]

Might steal that example progression. Would love to be able to come up with nuanced sequences like that instead of typical songwriter 2/4 chord phrases

[@MangoldProject]

If you want to sound like great players, imitate them.

[@MrGordo1002]

I never went into learning voicings, is it an important topic to learn as a keyboard player playing in a band? ד"ש מישראל ;)

[@MangoldProject]

Yes. Chord voicings are the "flavors" you add to a progression. They can add tension and a more sophisticated sound. Of course, in a band you must coordinate with the rest of the players or you'll just get unwanted dissonances.

[@hypnovia]

How was that a G7b13? There was no Eb...

[@MangoldProject]

I'm not sure to which time point in the video you're referring.

[@hypnovia]

2:58

[@simonh1349]

you're right it's a 13, no b13 happens ^^

[@shanegreybeldia7039]

It’s a G13b9, right?

[@Achilles-xw8xh]

nice!! in what song is this used? please?

[@MangoldProject]

That's up to you ...

[@pobz100]

It is not a C Dominant 7th chord!

[@DietrichMegaDNelsonJr]

pobz100 why not?

[@MaestroAlekss]

pobz100 then what it is?

[@pobz100]

It's a C7 chord. If it's the dominant 7th it would be an F Dom 7th. Dom 7th chords are derived from the dominant of which it it from. C7 is in fact the dominant of the key of F. If you want proof then ask yourself how can a chord in the key of C contain a Bb and why is it called the dominant. Like I explained, it's an F Dom 7th not a C Dom 7th. you can also refer to it as a C7 within the key of C. Do you understand? :-)

[@ninjanudel7357]

pobz100 C7 is equal to C Dom7th

[@MangoldProject]

See Wikipedia for the accepted interpretation of what a "dominant 7th" chord means: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dominant_seventh_chord This video adheres to the common usage of the term and is correct.

[@tofusauce]

When you flatten your 7th to get your dominant chord, you're no longer in the c major scale, you're in the F major scale, hence the b flat. -facepalm-

[@mircotinacci7656]

sorry...but the chords you play at 2.41.... G 13, i think that is a sus chord, you play the c !

[@MangoldProject]

The 4 is also the 11.

[@mircotinacci7656]

@@MangoldProject yes of course, sorry ... you are the best to explain and show how to play, watching your clips almost daily. Greetings from Sweden.
