You are not only master at your craft, but also a master at being really clear in your teachings. I think i've commented this before, but your channel really deserves more subscribers and attention. Also, you seem like a really down to earth guy who deserves it. Very grateful for the great content. It has really kept me occupied since i've found your channel. I would like to share that this year my sister passed away due to cancer, and i haven't played guitar nor practiced music for several years, but i played on her funeral with her daughter singing and after that i have started coming back to music, it is my therapy.. And your content and the way you teach, helps a lot on how i can evolve my way to express myself through music and deal with the pain.. So thanks a lot, and i really really hope you can grow this channel to the extent it deserves. I hope i can do my share on your way and help come up with ideas for content/topics that would be interesting to learn deeper about. Thanks Michael, best regards from Sweden 🇸🇪❤

Thanks for pointing out that the Tritone Sub is basically just a downward chromatic resolution (ii7-bII7-I). I’m a autodidact, and so for years the whole “tritone away from the V7” stuff just seemed too cerebral to me to utilize until I realized how intuitive it is to just think: *dominant 7th a half-step above the target chord*

Bro, I am a musician/composer who went to University of Michigan music school for my undergrad, have been around a lot of educators and musicians, and I f*ckin love you brother. Your attitude and style are what I would want every music educator to be like...explaining things to beginners and also still being relevant to advanced musicians at the same time. I have recently at my old age decided I want to become as expert as I can at formulating amazing progressions in the jazz style, (which also helps so much with the other composition I do) and I finally opened up one of my STILL BRAND NEW in the plastic wrap text books, the Mark Levine Jazz Piano book and came across your channel and it feels like one of my old practice sessions with one of the coolest T.A.'s back in my college days (1990-94) up at the music school, and I miss those days so much being older now. I have been recently over the last year or so really been looking back at my life and seeing how many years I have wasted and wish I could go back and do it all over again and take advantage of time that we will never get back, and do it the RIGHT way. Anyway, you are giving me a bit of that experience that I miss, back again, just being who you are in the way you explain things and how you teach music Thank you for this channel, man. (I had to add a small part: One of my old music theory professor assistants would do exactly what you just did 😂😂 he would ask me a question that he and I both KNEW that I should absolutely have the correct answer for, and then slightly sit in toward me and look at me, with a concerned, somewhat stern look, and wait for ne to provide the answer, and ONLY the correct answer. and you just did that same thing in part of this video 😆😆)

Enjoyed your tutorial. Tritones add up to 6 when considering one in sharps and the other in flats. C is zero flats. F# is 6 sharps. A second example is D is 2 sharps. A flat is 4 flats. So D and A flat are tritones of each other. I enjoy using Db, G7, C with the Db, B, C on top respectively. Tritones are also the most distant and unrelated keys to each other. It can be challenging to modulate between them. And yes, I tend to think more in flats than sharps. F# and Gb are the same scale, but I’d much rather read it and play it as 6 flats than 6 sharps. Thanks for an awesome tutorial.

50 years of playing the piano and being oblivious to all this stuff. Thanks so much for your engaging style. All this theory about modes and dominant chords and tritones etc seemed to be 'based' on a major chord. I was wondering how a minor chord 'base' works with these things. Tritones would not be the same?
@michaelkeithson6 ай бұрын
Thanks David, I'm glad you're enjoying the videos and finding some value. You should experiment with the minor chords and see what you think - it's all about personal preference at the end of the day. I guess they wouldn't be classed as a traditional tritone substitution but definitely worth experimenting with. If you played the tritone sub as a minor major7 it would make sense as Modal Interchange, borrowing from the seventh mode of the Harmonic minor or Melodic minor scales. Thanks for the comment. Happy exploring! 🎹🎵🎶

Guitar player here who also writes for orchestra as a hobby. Thinking in flats is WAY easier, somehow, than thinking in sharps. Despite the fact that many famous guitar songs are in "sharp" keys. (A, E, G, D). But that has to do with the standard tuning of guitars. If I'm writing for guitar, I almost always use the open tuning to play to the the instruments strengths. For anything else, it's almost always flat keys. Bb, F, Ab, Eb. That may be due to many wind and brass instruments tuned to Bb. With all that said, it may just be easier to think in "half step down" than "half step up". Just taking a shot in the dark here :D
