This is like finding gold, especially for one who's trying to figure this out alone. Thank you.

I'm so glad this helped! I always try to post on Saturday mornings, so that people have the weekend to practice : )

Julien Bradley is a great teacher

[@antoniobaggiano9513]

Playing these patterns I get chills down my spine. They can move me to tears. So Beautiful.

[@jazztutorial]

So glad to hear this Antonio! You can explore these combinations for years - 3rds up and down, plus Kenny Barron voicing... as well as other voicings like rootless chord voicings. Do you have a request for a future lesson?

GOOD TIPS FROM YOU JULIAN👾👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍

[@valtermanuel1875]

Can't avoid recollecting those sublime musical landscapes of Claude Debussy: «floating imobility» aroused by 3rds enchainements; a sound caleydoscope. These lesson are a priceless contribution to understand how jazz harmonies can be created. Can't thank you more. Congrats and keep up the good work.

[@kiras3180]

You're such a good teacher you make me feel like i can...

[@myfunnyval1]

Yes, I like the way you break things down. I can't see, but hearing you play chords makes a massive difference!

[@AudioVideoDigitizingStudio]

As a guitar player, I learn a great deal from your lessons. You're a great player and educator. Thank you so much!

[@ferryrahman2465]

My man..., you sir, is broadening my views about Kenny Baron's voicing, with my head & hearts has been decades full with this kind of chord progression in almost any music genres, but mainly because Ryuichi Sakamoto and Ahmad Dhani.

[@Niersteentje]

Concise and very clear. Let's emo up this dull Sunday. Many thanks, Julian!

[@elijahcordle7496]

This key with this technique sounds sooo much like rain/deference for darkness from halo 3 odst ost and I love that piece

[@geoffstockton]

I've been using the descending version for years but I embarrassingly never realized how beautiful it sounds ascending. The descending one is essentially a VIm9 IVmaj9 progression modulating in 4ths. So it gets a shade darker every two chords. The ascending version, is IVmaj9 VIm7 conversely moving in 5ths, getting a shade brighter at a time. I love these chord voicings, BTW.

[@HippieCowboy]

Such beautiful chords! I picture learning these chords and adding this lovey music to some dramatic drone video I capture.

[@mrmaramind]

That was nothing short of amazing. Thank you!!!

[@milesdoodling1054]

It's been so long, I got emotional just seeing there's a new video from Jazz Tutorial!

[@alexthompson6529]

What an awesome lesson, thank you for taking the time to make and post this! Inspired to sit down at my piano tomorrow and give it a go! I’ve been stuck trying to improvise thinking in only scale degrees, so this is great - opens me up to a different thought pattern.

[@JimboGuitar]

Amazing. Explained step by step. Nice

[@dudenadog3493]

This was a fantastic tutorial! Once you snag the feel... it morphs into all kinds of fun stuff. Great for intermediate beginners with basic skills. Rewarding to noodle around with. Thank You!!!

[@miramarensis]

I commend you supreme good taste in your harmonic progressions. Your material is a rare find and truly inspirational.

[@mikaelkorsback4384]

The Kenny Barron voicings are very useful, thanks for introducing them. I used this technique, trying to put together an own composition, in the refrain climbing chromatically from Fmaj9-Emaj9(#11), and so forth, ending at Cm9. It’s still rather tricky to write something outside the key of C, or Cm. But it’s getting easier to just improvise

[@edoardobarbieri5013]

Thanks for sharing your material with us! It is really appreciated!

[@heatyt]

Dang, this tutorial helped a lot, I’m making a beat for a friend of mine who needs something to feel emotional about, this helped me a lot, thank you.

[@Elfajito]

Congratulations, you have unlocked the music genres: "Melodic Dubstep", "Future Bass".

[@samotisbeard]

Julian, your videos are always clear but this one in particular is beautifully concise. Thank you for creating these highly informative tutorials. I'm a guitarist first, but my piano playing has improved immensely from watching your content. What I enjoy most about your tutorials is the musical application that I hear. Theory/Techniques are all well and good but applying them to making music has to be the ultimate goal. Clearly you subscribe to that view ;)

[@ronaldzeigler7688]

I enjoyed the video. It will take me some time to absorb the Kenny Barron Technique, but I appreciate the manner in which you explained the essence of emotional chords and their application. Ronald Zeigler

[@jazztutorial]

Thank you so much for your kind words Ronald!

[@timboslyce1290]

This officially my favorite video I learned alot , as much as I know about music, I never heard of Kenny Barron! now im googling the name left and right ... thank-you!

[@jimprescott4955]

Great. Love the Kenny Barron voicing. Just within my small-handed reach.

Great video thank you for that!

Thanks Julian great tutorial lot to take on board but great sounds .

[@ColouringWithShadows]

Fantastic explanation, thank you Julian happy new year!

[@jazztutorial]

That means so much DREAMING - thank you for your kind words. I have a similar lesson teaching composition coming next. Do you have a request for a future lesson?

[@ngogachristophe]

Sure sir we need that lesson regarding song composition

[@rishim6816]

Thanks, this stuff is so cool!! Well explained too..

[@ArnoldBru]

Excellent thanks!

[@cameronpeterson1175]

This is very cool. Thank you. Isn't another way to think of those voicings a stack of 5ths in the left, with a stack of 5ths in the right, with both stacks either a minor or major 2nd apart (for minor or major chord respectively)? Maybe you mentioned this already. Probably easier to mentally construct it this way on the fly. Another neat voicing is to make the major chords with a root, 2, 3, 7 stack (2,3,7 in right hand), and the minor chord a root, 3, 4, 7 (relative to the root of each of the major or minor chords).

[@lwaziarzi]

ohhhhhh this is also used by Daft Punk - within.. awesome, Another Great one Master

[@diegonoeled.tamayo8424]

YESSSS, I CAN FINALLY COMPOSE SOME EMOTIONAL MELODIES NOW TY SO MUCH

[@audiblevideo]

Thank you for all the resources, and for your years on youtube doing music education.

[@estebandelacalle4331]

Amazing video!

[@RhondaGallant-Morari]

Love this! Thanks you so much!

[@donaldlessnau3477]

I think I've answered my own question. The formula Julian describes at the start ONLY works when ASCENDING in a key. So if you play a Cm, you advance a minor third BUT play a an EbMaj. However, when you want to descend in that same key, you have to REVERSE the formula. For example, to descend from Cm, you go down a Maj 3rd, not a minor, in order to play the AbMaj. One formula ASCENDING, the opposite formula DESCENDING, IF you want to duplicate the same quality of the chord in both directions.

[@mohamadzarrinmehr3669]

i learned so much today, thank you, love from iran

[@geoffreytaggart9237]

Look forward on your videos and always learn something new, they are quite detailed but its all good stuff and well presented.
