𝄞 You can think of a standard chord progression like the plot of a movie; beginning - middle - end. By using just two chords to build a whole song, you can create a musical cinematic shot of your main character. That main character is the essential element. Let's take a look at how artists like Alpha Mist, Knxwledge, Ryuichi Sakamoto, Robert Glasper, Yussef Dayes, Berlioz, Kaytranada, Kiefer, Flying Lotus, Thundercat, Omari Jazz, DOMi & JD Beck establish a vibe and stay there, while creating complex yet subtle harmonic movement to maintain interest in the essential element: the melody. 𝄢

RIP Ryuichi Sakamoto, truely an inspirational composer and human being.

[@taplubambhos2869]

Omg. He was my childhood hero. :'(

[@T1duzz]

Had to pause in the middle of the video to say: Your editing, your teaching, your musical talent, your voice, almost everything seems perfect to me. I went into this with bad vibes and already feel much better. Lately producing felt stagnant to me, but you give so much dimension to chords, it is unreal. I feel like i need to get more complex, but the fun in creating gets lost. Thanks for reminding me on how to get things going again. Wishing you the best on your journey.

[@e66iu]

for real. i had the exact same experience. he's almost too good!

[@jasdog]

same

[@brickstax]

exactly

[@hpuredatalover]

the video quality just SKYROCKETED with this one! I am AMAZED.

[@jaronlopez]

Thanks Heimekyo!

[@subedei.yesyes]

going from an f chord to a b flat chord is literally my favorite chord progression haha

[@e66iu]

as a hip-hop producer, it's been my secret sauce for years. he basically broke down the exact keys i play. lol

[@vincenzorusso5966]

dude you are so good at teaching!

[@sunlitlily7463]

i love these chords that vibe videos lol. i switched majors when none of my peers in my music course seemed interested in the artists like yussef dayes and alfa mist and am very happy when i see internet videos mentioning these composers and the harmonies they write. thank you :)

[@AlonsoJoaquinComposer]

Excelent video, thank you! And great production too!

[@tallieke10]

bro i love the way you explain this stuff these videos are so amazinggg thank u

[@jasonhackett7217]

I love this song and have been bumping it on my “lofi beats to help you pretend to work” playlist since it came out. You are one of the few KZbin tutorial creators whose music stands on its own, keep up the great work all around.

[@carlesmontobbio]

hey Jaron! great video (again!). Found your channel a few weeks ago and I'm really enjoying and learning thanks to the way you explain and deconstruct harmony, melody and theory. Keep it up! Great job, cheers from barcelona!

[@e66iu]

You are an excellent teacher!! I cannot stress this enough. I understood everything on multiple levels, and was able to apply it to my own music immediately. I feel like this knowledge has become part of me, and I even feel like I could teach it, lol. I wish all the tutorials on youtube were this good. fr. thank you!!

[@KevinTPLim]

How to distill the essence of a jam into a song is incredibly valuable for my style and the stage I’m at in my music journey, so thank you! Also appreciate the production value and your taste in music and voicings - I love Alfa Mist, Ryuichi Sakamoto, and Robert Glasper (also Nujabes, Emancipator, Bonobo, Phaeleh ...)

[@evergrxn]

You make it feel like a friend is patiently explaining this to me, and that totally got rid of the anxiety I normally feel around theory.

[@samb0ss]

love your videos, dude! so clear and thorough and practical

[@samb0ss]

also your fretless bass playing is hella impressive!!

[@saidign]

you are a true inspiration, i hope one day i will have the same knowledge as you

[@Deeznutsflyhighintheair]

Amazing video, your videos are always golden and ur music is always beautiful

[@goose_music]

On fire man! Amazing video as always

[@jaronlopez]

Thanks for the positivity Goose!

[@zerois2801]

[@stuartpaterson5598]

Thank you for your explanation of music, Jaron. Finally I understand something of music!

[@dantemakoya]

thank you for the insight that was very helpful, and "elsewhere" is a banger!

[@Sweetdaddyde]

Best production tutorials on YT. Keep it up, proud of you :^)

[@shortcutDJ]

[@Unikladhalo]

Nice.

[@D.Scend_dnb]

Such a good video, this is going to be very helpful

[@mateo-oh2vm]

your videos are solid

[@retrro5161]

Had to comment cos after all these years, i FINALLY get how chords work, no more flukes. Thank YOU!

[@e66iu]

Yo! I've been just using my ear and "feel" for like 20 years, no lie. THIS video made it click.

[@aronlampin2444]

Great video!

[@jaronlopez]

Hey Aron, thanks for checking it out!

[@RomanWaves]

Absolutely amazing. You condensed knowledge and wisdom I learned the hard way over 10 years of producing and practicing the piano. Vertical and horizontal, improvised and composed. Balance and imbalance. Listening and connecting to the sound. Less is telling more. Thanks for this amazing reminder and production, really inspiring

[@konaritoikka]

Dude you make music theory fun!!!!

[@mineraljunction]

you are the goat

[@commandrmusic]

ur the best

[@VaChiee]

this i s next level of music theory explanation, I'd wager he's better explaining this than any professor I could pay

[@slov1499]

Dope video and really nice tune, reminds me of "world without words" and I think most of what you said there also applies to that track

[@currentlyrebranding]

wow bro you spitting, great video. Love how i know what you’re saying but never knew some phrases, great stuff.

[@RogueRhythms]

bro you know what you did with the way you recorded this man. trippy

[@laytonfoster5057]

I just realixed after a couple weeks of watching all your videos I accidentally forgot to subscribe. So I fixed that. Man these videos are so good. The quality of the production is just crazy

[@jazzsong8566]

Your videos are fire. The way you teach theory and integrate it with different styles is amazing. I learn a lot with each of your tutorials and, above all, a different perspective to make my own compositions 🙏🏻👏🏻🙌🏻

[@MrGreenDaniel]

I love you

[@admiralhax9714]

Jaron, ill walk with you anywhere

[@pickagreatname]

I just want you to know that your sense of humor is coming across, in case you had any doubt. Great video.

[@pasxa]

I understand very little, but your videos are a great inspiration to learn music. Thanks! elsewhere is a magical track ❤

[@georgemathieson6097]

*permanent smolder*

[@calamari3707]

But but… if a song just descided to break off and meander like the first example for 30 secs or even a min before going back in… I’d LOVE that.

[@goos_bumps]

I can’t wait for everyone to sound like “chords to vibe” to

[@reebunhoil5153]

very educational, me like these videos mon!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@creakcharlie]

👍❤

[@tallieke10]

why the bassline gotta be so nice tho

[@silenceisamask]

I usually omit the 5th in my minor 11 voicings, but leaving it in is pretty cool too

[@currentlyrebranding]

i literally do the same exact things

[@apollog7764]

Ryuichi, Robert Glasper AND Knowledge? Let’s see if the video delivers !

[@Narokx]

I clicked on the video. Got immediately confused. Then to my surpris concluded it was in fact a great click. Awesome video man, explained a bunch of things that I previously had only half understood. Playing over the barline can breathe live into a boring melody rhythm !

[@McCuban]

Great video, and I love the typo at 12.47 - i'm almost hoping that it is intentional!

[@martinsgarden1304]

Bach - Die Kunst der Fuge

[@vilhelmw]

amazing, you should get more views. So much crap out there, and this is the real deal!! And YES to sample pack, plz

[@janjakubzika]

quiz 2 “aeolian”

[@BibleStorm]

quiz 4 - sequence Looks like the rest have been answered.

[@camilofernandez3588]

How are you making videos on the exact artists I listen to?? Keep it up, love the content.

[@hirospartyhat]

The piece is little fouge in g minor by bach. Its a fouge

[@prodbyANT]

This video popped up at the exact perfect time for me. Writing some jazzy beats trying to figure out why they sound so basic and bland even though I'm using minor 9th chords and stuff.

[@lyreofgilgamesh]

You are up there with Adam Neely when it comes music education, man. Your videos are superb! Your way of teaching is just perfect. For musicians on all levels! What I am wondering is, what is the theory behind the notes played by the fretless bass that aren't the root note? (Very nice bass playing btw)

[@audendykes4355]

I don't fully know the answer as I'm not a bass player nor am I Jaron, but my guess would be that the bass is just playing around on the chord tones of the two chords, particularly the main chord tones and then finding good voice leading and complementary motion to go in between chords, so you could for example go from the Db in the Bb minor 11 to the C in the Fminor 11 (which is a half-step down) and then jump up a minor third to the Eb. Enclosures or when you kind of go above and below a note you want to hit before you actually hit it are pretty powerful too. You just gotta make sure you hit the root note at the same time you hit the chord if you want the harmony of the chord to come out as you intended. I think the fundamentals of like a walking bassline in standard ballad jazz are definitely applicable to all genres and I wouldn't be surprised if that's what he was pulling from here

[@andyread5363]

Could you share in a video about your bass tone and playing style. Just listening to your latest work on Spotify it’s a beautiful restrained tone

[@e66iu]

i wrote a song a long time ago, when i got my first keyboard and first crush.. it was called "bf". because that was the chord progression. at 12yo i "found" these EXACT chords by putting the keyborard in 'fingered' mode and pressing a bunch of keys until it sounded cool. then i figured out how to play the right keys by ear. then i wrote a song... i used a tape recorder (and two tapes) to record me drumming on various things at home: (tape 1)the toybox was the kick, i used a toy to hit the bedframe as a snare and i think i 'beatboxed' the hats. then i played it in the stereo and played my keyboard over it, while recording with the tape recorder(tape 2). then i wrote my lyrics (BARS) and recorded them on the first tape.(usually on the other side, but i was 12. it was 1996) i basically invented low-fi hip-hop for a girl, now that i think about it. (t.k. kirkland vibes) when i played the song i wrote for her she cried, because she was embarrassed and she didn't "like me like me". but everybody thought the song was dope. but i kinda hid my music after that because.. mah pride.

[@e66iu]

of course my song sounded like an ambitious 12yo made it. with the lowest of quality. and absolutely 0 knowledge. its basically just a "drum" beat, two chords with some noodling on the high end, and a 12year old (who listened to outkast and goodie mob RELIGIOUSLY), 'rapping about how he should be her boyfriend because "boyfriend starts with bf, and it would be def" just for contex.

[@user-hp1rv2os3q]

5:23 I instantly recognized this chord from the silent hill 2 soundtrack called "Magdalene". Out of curiosity, I checked to see if it was actually that chord and woah...

[@lilaclaza]

5:52

[@BankruptBassplayer]

Great vid! Is that a CS 80 in the background?

[@andrewjones_fitness]

Very insightful videos. Any chance you would do a dream pop track tutorial, perhaps a Beach House style track?

[@senarodrigo]

Your bass looks and sounds awesome! I've been thinking of buying a fretless. What is it?

[@zealotart]

why Knxwledge?

[@SeanMcQuilter_Music]
