BARRY HARRIS ONCE TALKED ABOUT FAMILY OF KEYS ITS FUNNY HOW IM ONLY ASORBING IT NOW AFTER A FEW YEARS.. HE STATED THE NOTES IN C DIMINISHED ARE ALL FAMILY OR LINKED WHICH WE CAN TRANSITION BETWEEN THE REST OF THEM , SAME APPLIES TO OTHER TWO DIMINISHED SCALES, THANKS SEAN, THEORY JUST DOESNT ABSORB OVERNIGHT, THANKS AGAIN SEAN✊🙌🙌🙌🙌🙌

[@slimsauu389]

WHY ARE YOU YELLING BROOO

[@stephanieshelton679]

Thank you Sean. I always loved this progression sound from Take 6. Never even thought to try to figure it out because it sounded so beyond my ability to sound out. Now, thanks to you, I can play it and its so lovely 😍 God bless you always.

[@dusankovacevic8975]

I’ve seen it from Barry Harris also, all this keys share the same diminished, half a step bellow them, that’s actually why it works.

[@rapinncapin123]

Nice

[@rapinncapin123]

​@@slimsauu389 😂

[@reggieedouard4361]

I’ve been watching this video over and over😭😭 and one thing I picked up is that when he’s doing the 2-5-1 progression as he changes keys, it can also be seen as a 7-3-6 progression in the original key (but the 6 would be a major chord because at the moment you’re thinking of 2-5-1) I hope that helps and hopefully if you guys see anything interesting to point out y’all drop it in the comment section too!✨

[@AfiScruggsplaysbass]

Exactly.

[@xianfengyan6636]

2-5-1 just a relationship, in substitution, they always change major to minor, minor to diminish, or….

[@jesseroper1206]

The video cracked my brain open. Thank you Sean!!

[@Ebi_J]

This is what I have been trying to understand. I even enrolled in a class to understand this but my teacher could not communicate the concept. Thank you sir.

[@SeanWilsonPiano]

yeah man, it’s a difficult concept to explain! Thanks for the comment

[@ruelforbes4744]

Most clarifying piano lesson I’ve had so far in 40 years

[@AudoraAudio]

My only regret is that I have only 1 like I'm allowed to give. Your videos are SO thoughtful, instructive... I've learned a LOT from you Sean. Thanks SOOO much.

[@SeanWilsonPiano]

I appreciate it bro?

[@Bruingebak]

I'm a self-taught, jazz accordionist and stumbled upon this about two years ago. I found the progressions so intriguing, but didn't know the theory. Now I know because of you. Thanks a mill Sean, much appreciated.

[@SeanWilsonPiano]

Appreciate it man, thanks so much!

[@LanceHamright]

Everything is diminished! 3 families of fully diminished chords are all the keys we know. It’s so astounding!!!!

[@williamfuller996]

All his lessons are excellent but this one sparked something in me to practice more. Sometimes we get busy and complacent. So I appreciate all this brother do.

[@zahemenaliough3870]

Hello Sean, you are such a phenomenal teacher. You are able to break chords down in a manner that all classes of pianist can understand. God bless you real good. I learnt alot here today!!!

[@SeanWilsonPiano]

Wow! Appreciate it man!

[@zahemenaliough3870]

Welcome Sir. I hope to one day understand music and play like you. More grace and anointing on you and your ministry in Jesus name.

[@mkhululimnisi]

An alternative song to that Take6 song is Michs move by the late Parris Bowen🙏🏽...exact same moves the nice thing about it is that it actually changes keys after each cycle

[@SeanWilsonPiano]

Yes, Parris used this technique a lot, due to length of vid couldn’t bring it in

[@LyrixNChill]

Those diminished shapes are like portals to different sonic multiverses allowing you to weave in and out of different realities

[@EkimWahs]

Brother Wilson, I really appreciate what you shared in your 3 minute rant. You have no idea how much that connected with me. Your understanding is very inspiring. Thank You. God bless you.

[@SeanWilsonPiano]

Appreciate it man!!

[@BrentScottBam316]

Brutha I myself as a church musician definetly needed this!!!!! Very very helpful in undsrstanding the method to the madness! Please keep giving us the game! Thank you greatly

[@SeanWilsonPiano]

Yessir doc!

[@romimusic]

17:03 is really interesting! I've been playing at a primarily "CCM" style church recently, the subject of 'emotion' vs 'theory and structure' comes up a lot. I keep telling them "you have to just feel it"

[@robmerida864]

This is gold! I was just thinking about this while I was playing yesterday and it was so frustrating to not know how to weave into other keys. This tho…this really opened up my understanding to the relationship between keys. Thank you!

[@SeanWilsonPiano]

Yes! Glad it helped!

[@danielbrown_music7263]

@seanwilson I can't believe this whole lesson is free. Praying God's blessings on your ministry sir... outstanding!!!

[@richmusica5700]

You had me at Take 6. Sean is the Essential MisterRogers Educator of Good Music. Much Respect.

[@Bigricky06]

That was awesome man. It makes sense. I want to play out of the box but sometimes I hear these changes from Cory, quennel Gaskin, but wasn't sure what they were doing.

[@dmsc2810]

EXCELLENT VIDEO! To a guy that was labeled as "gifted" playing by "ear" and playing the piano & organ for my church the age of 11 - 18, growing up in the church, where I was doing some of this without able to describe it at the time...but I had developed an excellent "ear" from my practice in being in a professional boy's choir, from ages 9 -12. Now, as I'm getting back into playing as an adult, I will take advantage of your training, to help me get back into it again. Thank you so much.

[@troyl5498]

My guy. Your calm, sedate manner effectively cloaks your insatiable voraciousness for the music theory brain-game 😉. Keep the training going, brother.

[@RonOnTheGrill]

I wore this album out, man. Beautifully played.

[@musicmanjflo]

Loved this video, Sean. I’ve always understood the relationship between the relative minor and major, but never considered going the opposite direction and moving UP a minor third instead of down! Can’t wait to practice this!

[@SeanWilsonPiano]

Thanks Josh!!

[@jeremiahosibe]

He shows you his flaws and development process. Such a natural teacher. Thank you, Sean Wilson.

[@garrickpitts9477]

Sean, I was gonna say that Mitch’s Move by Paris Bowens has been my practice for doing the minor relationship going up instead of down (C - Eb- F# - A) ((he starts in Db)) I learned Septembro thanks to this video. Thank you for all your content and help.

[@SeanWilsonPiano]

Yeah, that should get similar results. Good work

[@lorrainegartrell1907]

You are unlocking so much I’ve heard this done never understood it until now with the relationship of the thirds …thank you so much easy to follow very very clear!!!

Thanks Lorraine!

I've heard many versions of this song, but it's something about the way you play it. O my! So Beautiful.

[@HeavenlyBridegroomMusic]

I just wish you would cover this song and play it without saying a word.

[@jeanettawright1066]

Excellent lesson Sean. Yes, it motivates me to do some homework. I've always loved that song but never knew the name of it. Now I'm motivated to work on it and the related key changes. You're a great teacher and a great motivator.

[@SeanWilsonPiano]

Appreciate it Jeanetta!!

[@stellathatsme7561]

I truly agree. I love that song also.

[@sweetdaddy9680]

Thank you!!! Your teaching is truly helping me. I am trying to find my way back. I have rededicated myself and not going to quit until I get it.

Reharm has never made more sense. I watched this video a few times then went and played and it made perfect sense with what I already know. Dope video fam

[@stellathatsme7561]

I've been a vocalist for many years and now I understand the relationship between the key & transitions. I can hear it but playing it needs practice. Thank you so much for sharing this. Truly a great teacher and communicator. God bless you. I might watch this everyday for awhile till I get it. Sending love.♥️💖💝✌🏾

[@herveyav428]

Ohh man, i knew about the relationship between the relative major and minor but I never knew I could use them like this, it's a game changer for me... God bless you Mr Sean.

[@Bashanvibe]

I love this song!!! I learned it a long time ago!!! But I also learned that this a remake!!! Look up Ivan Lins the original is just as beautiful

[@SeanWilsonPiano]

Wow just looked it up man! I learn something new every day 👏

[@benyjomusic]

This is a game changing lesson. Thank you Sean 🙏🏼

[@dweldan9036]

It really🔥 so excited to practice.

[@smalbeaste]

I've been discouraged about this kind of harmony for very long since I heard some snob say that you just have to ''get it'' if you ever want to understand jazz. If you dont ''have it'', dont bother. This was very enlightening, such good explainations. I want you to know it inspired me deeply, thank you very very much.

Sean, you have a special gift of communication and teaching which is like a desert that accompanies your amazing music talent.. !

I just think that you are such a genius! Now If I can just start applying this to my playing the way I’m supposed to

[@leonardslade4499]

Love your comments on theory vs Ear. That has been an issue with me and maybe a lot of musicians who play by "ear" alone. I never rose to the heights because I didn't understand the theory.

[@SeanWilsonPiano]

Yessir doc!

[@educapro]

Minor third relationships, natural relationships... makes sense Sean. I guess I hadn't thought about that so in essence: • If you're in the key of C, the relationship is either Eb • If you're in the key of C#, the relationship is either E • If you're in the key of Eb, the relationship is either F# So on and so forth... :) ...thus going out of the key/ or applying the "transitional." Incredibly useful tip. Thank for for sharing this, I had to come back to this video and really hear your comments again. This video is Amazing folks, ...absolute FIRE!

The way I learn is that a diminished chord has a relationship. The four individual notes mean you can transition between and it works.

[@firdakbarw882]

As a beginner myself, I found that dim7 at dominant 7th or 6th degree of a scale so beautiful...

[@gadybrimizik4972]

Perfect lesson Mr Wislson, you re a Gift, from France 🇫🇷.Thans a lot.

[@patrickcantu8831]

I love geeking out on music theory!!! Great great video!!! Helps so much as a bass player!!!

[@chriskartub]

The B minor seven flat five (b d f a) chord belongs to the C major scale as a seven chord. The B minor seven flat five (b d f a) chord also belongs to the A harmonic major scale as a two chord. This makes it a great chord to pivot from C to A. Sean says when we hear this chord b d f a where are we? In C or A? Thanks Sean for your gifted perspective.

[@jordonhenry6825]

Hmm kind of reminds me of the Barry Haris diminished thing. C, Eb and A are all part of the same diminished 7 chord. Even how you went to the F# from A. Your videos are amazing! Such a wealth of knowledge.

[@fly_boi_B]

This lesson about borrowed chords or modal interchange is taught clearly and simply the most exciting and challenging manner I've could ever hope to find. You patiently, with enthusiasm - probably over the pracrice challenge - j/k taught and explained the using the parallel (maj/min) and relative (maj/mjn) chords within the key the song is performed. What I'm just about jumping out of my skin with joy is; voice is my primary instrument performance, teaching/coaching and I've always heard in my head notes that signs probably be heard as not fitting in the key structure. In many cases I've maintained both vocal & instrument responsibilities. Over the years I've been learning and shall continue to learn piano/organ to better serve, striving to get better day by day, performance by performance. I hear modal changes in my head as a vocalist - well now - thanks to you Professor I'm feling stronger already- I have not done the practice assignment....to think that what I hear in my head I have options - sing it, play it or both!! Your heart and burden for music and musicians is evident to the eye ear and heart! Thank God for the gift that is you and investing in all who are benefited!! Loving you God bless
