10/10 insta sub. I don't even play piano I play guitar and consume tons of KZbin music theory content and this is so theoretically clear and powerful information. May the algorithm bless you!!!

[@EmanuelBlancoPiano]

Haha! Thank you so much 🙏🏾

[@karenallen5736]

This is another eye opening video. Thanks for showing your thought process on how you did the chord substitutions. Absolutely fantastic. Thanks again Emanuel. Bless you, your knowledge, and teaching skills

[@skybeatsgh]

This was so helpful. God bless you

[@midastymiwaynedasty2681]

Incredible piece of useful information. Many thanks 🙏

[@thestrokeof12]

Awesome video! It’s great to have a thorough breakdown without going way too slow. Keep doing the “this is what I’m thinking…” breakdowns! Can you do a video in the same style for longer progressions ? Ex. 7 3 6 2 5 1

[@jackprice7828]

Emanuel I love the way you explained these variations.

[@soulinspiration1]

I love the chords for I Surrender!

Thank you 😊 friend, you've opened my eyes once again.

[@haykuhiazatyan2160]

Thank you very much. God bless you.......

[@stevelandsaw3132]

Sorry if this is obvious. So you’re starting on the 1 (C major), then going to the 2 - 5 of the next chord, then 2 - 5 of the next chord and so on until the song ends?

[@khrienvich4084]

that's basically it i think, it's the voicing and the extension notes that gives it a unique sound but at root of it, that's all it is. That's why they say ii - V - I is very important for jazz (I think)

[@josephsmithtshibuabua589]

Wow!! This is amazing teacher , thanks a lot 😊😊🤍🤍🤍

Hello broh can you break down the song from tim Godfrey -Nso showing some staff he does like scales, passing chords and some riffs 🙏🙏 from Tanzania

[@Clean_promo_Evanjelik]

Great

[@chubbster1969]

Is there a rule we can apply when to use a minor or major 2-5-1? Does it depend on what your destination chord needs to be, or just trial and error?

[@kopanotempleton8414]

ALWAYS think Destination... If you look carefully you will realise that there are 5 notes between our tension chord and the destination chord.

[@brasenfessler8506]

May you please do a gospel jazz tutorial on the song love note by upperroom?

[@aksonp007]

Amazing!! If you watch Korea movies you will notice that this is what they play in most of their background songs.

[@EmanuelBlancoPiano]

I’ll have to take a listen!

[@aksonp007]

do you give lessons?

[@GhanaianBluesman]

Hey, question please. I thought the minor 2 5 1 is suppose to be 2dim - 5min7 and 1 minor but it looks like your just playing a dominant chord for the 5. Does either work or why do you favor the dominant chord in the minor 251

[@henrimicheldjombo3697]

Existe-il une école de musique gospel ?

[@tahirahc.2084]

How do you know when and where to use a specific chord? For instance, using a 7b9 instead of a 7b9#5 chord. Thank you

[@EmanuelBlancoPiano]

It all depends on the melody of the song which determines how you voice the chord. Most of the time when I practice, I try different voicings to get an ear for how they sound within the context of a song.

[@extremerex1400]

I’m a little bit confused can you explain to me from which chord what I take the two and five because I was observing that instead of using Dm, you used Gmin I don’t get the part that much can you explain me the theory behind it

[@EmanuelBlancoPiano]

I basically just switched the progression while maintaining the melody. Technically, you can still find that there is a Dm within that Gm9.

[@philipmenka7327]

I don’t understand it well anyone to help me get it well

[@rikyjean721]

Can you play the whole song please?

[@chubbster1969]

It's already in his play list for songs in the key of C bro kzbin.info/www/bejne/fYXXiqx_jb6GZrc

[@EmanuelBlancoPiano]

I did in a tutorial specific to the song. It should be on my channel

[@kopanotempleton8414]

For someone who already uses the 2-5 progression I never looked at it from this perspective.

[@_fisheater1027]

Curious as to how you approach it/ your thought process behind doing 2-5s

[@kopanotempleton8414]

@@_fisheater1027 I would use the 2-5 the typical way, going to the (6/4/2/1) however Emmanuel used it in a continuous manner, if you asked me I'd say he wasn't necessarily thinking of his destination for example when he did that 5-1 leading to the 4 he instead went to the #4 (F#min7b5)... Certainly helped me a lot.
