Imagine a world without secondary dominants and false cadences

[@tangsolaris9533]

Okay, do the negative Harmony of jazz

Ooh not worth living in that world

[@TAP7a]

Hmm I don’t like it

[@jacquesrahon277]

😲

[@helenari]

from the moment i saw the grace note i knew this was going in a jazzy direction… and i love it

[@RuptimusPrime]

Ha, I knew it even earlier than that. Before I even clicked the video, actually. Because it's in the title

[@TheTrueAltoClef]

Yeah they were amazing grace notes

[@helenari]

@@RuptimusPrime 🤣🤣 well yes bahaha

[@mathiaslevyvalensi-compose5014]

It just feels like someone put felt in my ears and said: "everything's okay"

Feels like a warm hug and an anthropomorphic white beagle is running to me with a baseball mitt to get me to play.

I know George it's beautiful you don't have to be embarrassed about crying 2:17

[@jetarg154]

This may be the first recorded case of death by dehydration from crying

[@AclibButLikeTheRealOne]

This video made me realize why I'm into jazz and want to learn the theory :) Sometimes I feel like quitting when seeing "certain" people whose level I'll never reach, but just sounding as good as this is already enough for me

[@K.D.Meyers]

Same!! I know exactly how you feel!

[@emanx222]

This right here 😭

[@fiskburk2908]

I never realize i was into jazz too, but man since i was a kid i was exposed to jazz thanks to the freaking snes, so many jazzy tunes in videogames and never realized this

[@casuallyviewing2846]

i was in a noisy room so i couldnt hear much thanks for adding subtitles its very helpful

[@vasorotto19]

Ahahaha

[@TurtMusic]

I felt the "I'm not crying, you're crying" so much, this is just so incredibly beautiful

[@Jack-ts1sv]

I have no idea what is greater... his playing or THE DRIP

[@LeanVolcano]

Bro the drip is glorious but the playing made me cry

Ok sorry to ruin it but what the heck is a drip

[@v.duskren8819]

definitely the playing.

[@Jordansauruslb]

This is really just what we like to call “gospel”

[@ManuTears98]

I swear there's something with F major that always moves me... 🥲

[@mathiaslevyvalensi-compose5014]

F Major is just one of these beautiful keys... a little like Db Major! (To me anyway). Curious how even with the equal temperament, different keys seem to have a different impact.

[@tanglongtao]

Reminds me of Horowitz’s Träumerei

[@ManuTears98]

@@mathiaslevyvalensi-compose5014 yeah! Db major sounds dream-like to me (and in general when a lot of flats are involved). Even though I was taught back in the day to recognize major and minor tonalities by telling whether they sounded happy or sad respectively, F major is a great exception to me

[@ManuTears98]

@@tanglongtao taking notes on that! Thank you :)

[@mathiaslevyvalensi-compose5014]

@@ManuTears98 I feel as though the whole "happy and sad" thing is a little oversimplified past a certain stage... I think it's important to keep in mind that an equal temperament doesn't and can't really exist which leads to differences in the keys, still today. It's really important to keep that in mind, study and experiment with it when we come to writing music, to have the most organic feeling possible!

[@MadiLikesPie]

2:34 this was absolutely beautiful, it felt so good

[@chaselizarralde3506]

I'm not crying, we're all crying

[@thmsrttg]

Why does this guy look like the black version of Elton John??

[@madeleinedarnoco5190]

It’s the outfit

[@andybaldman]

And the gospel chords.

[@oskarristolang]

dude i thought the same thing

[@colorred5383]

he's John Elton

[@winterwarden]

2:18 yes, I'm definitely crying. this voicing struck me to my core

[@Zivii]

2:17 made me feel an emotion I haven't felt in a while

[@danielsalgado1885]

Ive been thinking for a minute. It's pure, beautiful sadness. Not depression, and that's in the context. That the piece and life are beautiful and through sadness there is beauty. No high highs without low lows. That chord made me grateful to know sadness. Just.. wild.

[@chloechan321]

@@danielsalgado1885 I guess I wouldn't call it sadness. More like the peace you feel when you're finally letting go of something. I'd imagine that's what I'll feel when I'm stepping onto the clouds of heaven's gate, knowing that my mission on Earth is completed.

[@maxstokley8948]

This one is called “Amazing Grace-Notes” For those of you who don’t know.

[@TheMorphrick]

Magnifique performance! Still, this looks like a concert and he doesn't look like a priest

[@RachieSama]

It was a joke.

[@Ovunix]

Priest because its amazing grace

[@TheMorphrick]

@@RachieSama didn't see how would that be funny though

[@RachieSama]

@@TheMorphrick the song being played is a jazz version of a religious song, thus joking that he was a priest who liked jazz

This felt like playing for a church mass but you get too carried away midway and forget where you were playing

Beautiful, tasteful, respectful. My priest would approve.

Lets hope the priest likes Gsus and not Am Edit: terrible joke, I know, but hey! I got a lot of likes tho
