The MOST MAGICAL Chord Found In Jazz & Neo Soul Piano

Don't forget to sign up for the free solo piano course. I worked hard to make it super valuable for you! www.neojazzacademy.com/freesolopiano

I'm a composer...this tutorial is superb. You can hear it, and you can see it, and it is beautiful. 9ths, 7ths, and 11ths, and 13ths really bring the complex beauties of notes alive for us!

Finally someone brave enough to analyse the dim-maj7 (min-maj7(b5)) chord.

[@NoahKellman]

hahah I did my best

[@granddaddy_funk]

Open studio does one about this too

[@tomaspa]

@@granddaddy_funk where exactly in Open Studio? Thanks!!!

[@granddaddy_funk]

@@tomaspa there is a KZbin channel called open studio. I think he called it the magical chord or the unicorn chord.

[@bjb0808]

This is absolutely beautiful. It's nice to be able to play a piece, but I always hated that I could never just sit down and play something without having memorized it. I've been realizing more and more how a knowledge of theory is important but this video really made putting that knowledge into practice so much more accessible. I love it! I'm going to be watching a lot more of your videos and hope to show my appreciation by taking some of your courses in the future. Thank you, Noah.

Not sure I've ever commented on your channel before. Just want to say that you are a wonderful source of inspiration and knowledge. Thank you.

Hi Tony, thank you so much for saying that and taking the time to comment, I appreciate it. 🙏

My oh my... you're a splendid human being teaching us about the beauty of the "reforged impressionism" Keep this content coming, this shared knowledge is pure gold man!

Great video bro

Short and sweet! You made intriguing chords easy to understand = outstanding teaching. Thanks a lot!

[@NoahKellman]

Thank you, Silvio! Appreciate the comment

[@tomaspa]

Beautiful sound indeed and a break from Barry Harris’ 6th/diminished harmonization, still very useful but a tad harsher. Thanks!!!!

[@quincystewart4344]

Truly outstanding! I learned some very transformative things from you.

Great stuff! Having lots of fun with your tutorials. This is also helping tremendously with my flute playing and vice versa.

Great video Noah! I was wondering if you or maybe other commenters know more about something I stumbled upon...instead of quartal or quintile voicings, it would be like sextile (or hexal?) So it's literally an inversion or flipping a major seventh chord upside down and building it from the root at the top down separated by sixths...so like Cmajor 7 would be like CEGB but low to high going BGEC...maybe at this point the chord would technically be called something else, but it works great for diminished 7 chords too and I think I have heard those in orchestral music ...would this fall under the umbrella of Tertial or tertian harmony. Thanks for your hard work helping inspire us all.

[@kencory2476]

Excellent introduction to these amazing chords and voicings. I would argue that they entered the rock/pop universe via the great ears and compositions of the keyboard giants of the seventies: Rick Wakeman, Tony Banks, Kerry Minnear, Chick Corea, and Keith Emerson. (If I've left anyone out, additional suggestions are welcome.)

I've been enjoying your videos. I'm a long time player, but switched from guitar to piano in my thirties. I've developed my own system because i'm not good at reading and the number stuff,,,#13b9 etc, i am just starting to think of in those terms. . And i hate it. lol So hard for me to memorize and transpose. Thanks for explaining great ones so well. My system involves almost exclusively patterns and chord stacking. While watching this video i came up with a great one that allows me to easily transpose altered V, Thought i'd share a bit. You've probably come across these, but the perspective may be different. in your example, of BbM7, with half step at the bottom. Lower third to get BbminM7, etc, OK, for short cut i added a 7th (C) on top and you have DbM7#5 in RH. Can add G for full pentatonic grip, and get DbM7b5#5 Ok, drop the Db to the LH and you simply have an F triad or Fadd9 in RH. a few options in LH like you showed, but the full short cut the LH can become a plain old G dim chord . G Bb Db E in LH and F A C in Rh So stacking wise, we would have a One triad, over a dim chord built on the two, or seven for an Alt V,,, Csus13b9 or other applications. Can also make the RH FM7 A main trick i use is to separate L and R hands by a ninth or a seventh. This always gives a sus 13 of some kind. A 9th separation gives hard sus, a 7th separation give soft sus. I hope this wasn't too confusing boring or burdensome. Thanks again for all your great videos.

Hi Noah, have you a tip concerning keyboards? I’m looking forward to purchase a digital piano keyboard. Thank you so much for all your lessons, that actually inspires me even as guitarist though. Sorry for my poor english. Best, Laurent

[@NoahKellman]

Thank you!

[@milofonz7505]

Not only does it work over A and Bflat, but also over C. The chord voicing he is playing of a Diminished major 7 is also a 13 flat 9 voicing for dominant chords

[@dutchhoke6555]

Yes, C13 (b5b9) was the magic chord I stumbled upon after many years..and a favorite now ; thats' alot of stuff to invert, but well worth the effort.

[@АлександрЛапченко-н4е]

Sounds good 👌

Thanks, appreciate that

Great lesson... Here's a real life application that illustrates the dim/ma7 voicing in parallel beautifully, from none other than Hank Jones. kzbin.info/www/bejne/aYTFoWWBoqd5psU

Hi Mark, thank you so much for sharing this. Hank Jones is the solo piano master, this is gorgeous.
