Piano harmony, How to play outside the key using Using The Relative Major

[@GyroGearloose-qx3cg]

Thank you. I have heard pianists play those progressions for years and couldn't understand the relationship with the chords. You make it simple and it really helps to visualize it with that app you have on the screen as you describe the changes. Now, if I can just get my fingers to flow across the keyboard as smoothly as yours...

Awesome stuff for someone like me who is a beginner jazz musician! Subscribed

I've never heared of this before, incredible

[@nicholasvosatka2407]

I hope your channel gets the traction it deserves. Your an awesome musician. Ive been playing guitar for 20 years and wanted to learn some keyboard. Your channel is my main squeeze bro.

@@nicholasvosatka2407 means so much to hear that! 💪🏽

[@alamolalamol9426]

Thanks for the best explanation of this theory that I have seen on KZbin 👍🏾..

[@educapro]

This concept makes so much sense

[@ZacBarnesMusic]

🙌🏽

[@silvermann6515]

Thank you Zac. Just in this post you have brought much needed clarity and insight to me in regards to Harmony in under 7 minutes!…😳😯…Again, Thank you sir. You and Alec Winters are THOSE guys!!

[@ZacBarnesMusic]

Glad it helped!

like another comment said, approaching C from Bb7b9 shares a lot of notes with the V chord, G7b9 - namely the tritone B and F (but also Aflat and D like from a diminished chord) the following substitutions are spaced apart by minor thirds (or along a diminished chord) and contain the aforementioned diminished chord (B D F Ab). I've also made note of where the key of C's tritone B-F is found in the chords. The strongest resolution to C is from the native G7b9 (B is the 3rd and F is the 7th), then the "tritone sub" Db7b9 (F is 3rd of the chord and B is the 7th), then the "relative major" as you said Bb7b9 (F is the 5th of the chord and B is the flat 9th), then the less-used E7b9 (B is the 5th and F is the flat 9th) - weakest resolution Formula for 7b9 chord: take a major chord and add the diminished chord one half step up. or take a diminished chord, select any note from it, and play that note minus one half-step as the bass note

Thx for this, now I finally understand jazz a lot better ❤

[@michaelekwulugo8659]

Killer tutorial! 🔥🔥🔥🙏🏾🇬🇧

[@ZacBarnesMusic]

Thank you!

[@timothysmallaxe]

Great playing too

[@parkerchace]

Incredible i understand well

[@davidas5049]

great content, i play the guitar but this is very good general language, more of this please :) Do you have any tips on books that explains these concepts in a good and realtively easy way ?

[@ZacBarnesMusic]

Yes this definitely applies to all instruments. I don’t know any books unfortunately, just stuff I figured out through years of playing and listening to jazz records

[@nallan2538]

Wow thanks! Easy to comprehend!

[@ZacBarnesMusic]

Glad it was helpful!

[@AbrEvig]

Impressive!!!

[@Organico0]

Woah awesome

[@thiza8144]

It's now understandable just want to know the application of it as when can it be applied

[@timothysmallaxe]

So cool man thanks

[@BestCoachMusic]

Why do I feel like you showing off those runs 😅😅👏👏

[@alamolalamol9426]

I see how C and Eb are related as part of the C dim7 chord. The easiest way for me to remember this is to start on C and briefly switch to the key of Eb - F is the 2 of Eb and diatonically a minor chord and Bb is the 5th and diatonically a dominant one.

Hungry fingers 🔥

[@chinedumichael8776]

Wonderful bro 😊

[@ZacBarnesMusic]

thanks

[@barnybeatz]

Thank you bruh

[@barnybeatz]

Please 🙏 can you show us other relatable substitutions on piano harmonies please..

[@reasonforhopewithin]

Dude the Bb7b9 shares same notes as G7b9 ! Thats why it resolves so nicely to C

[@reasonforhopewithin]

Youre one of my favorite youtube piano teachers btw

[@tntwashpro3863]

I've heard of relative minor to major but never major to relative major? Please simply.

[@giovanymartinez3359]

Can you make a tutorial like this, but using the other modes instead. Please.

[@ZacBarnesMusic]

I'm sorry I'm not sure I follow. I wasn't using a particular mode here. Modes are a different concept. Are you asking for a tutorial on modes?

[@giovanymartinez3359]

@@ZacBarnesMusic Yes, thats what I meant, sorry!

[@varunkamal91]

If you just keep doing runs it doesn't display an example of how this is incorporated simply and beautifully in a song... Maybe hum/sing a song and simply play the chords behind without doing runs?

[@joemitchell9981]

Isn't that what blues does? If you're in a major key and you play a minor third up, you're playing a kind of blues scale, no?

[@ZacBarnesMusic]

That’s a bit different. Blues still stays inside it’s root key.

[@joemitchell9981]

Take a rock and roll classic like Brown Sugar by the Stones. It's in C but uses pretty much what you're talking about by adding chords from the corresponding key of Eb.@@ZacBarnesMusic

[@raykane2063]

Dope Video He is actually playing the Natural Minor. Just take any major scale and Flatten the 3rd, 6th and 7th. Like C major C-D-E-F-G-A-B when you flatten the 3rd, 6th, &7th it becomes C natural minor C-D-Eb-F-G-Ab-Bb the same notes as Eb Major. Just pick a Major scale and go 3 notes up and use the same notes as the major scale you landed on. Hope this helps. Blues scale is a little different. Hope this helps.
