If anyone is having problems understanding why Ab is used when in C, it's because this lesson is based on borrowing chords from the Phrygian mode. C Phrygian is the 3rd mode of Ab major, so they use C (from the key of C) as a starting point, then use the rest as if we suddenly switched to the key of Ab, playing the rest of the progression with chords that correspond to the harmonized Ab major scale, resolving back to C in the end. So, in the first example, the I IV V vi progression in C would be Cmaj7 Fmaj7 G7 and Amin7. But doing the modal interchange the I IV V vi would now become Cmaj7 Dbmaj7 (the 4th chord, not from C, but from the harmonized Ab major scale) Eb7 (the 5th chord from the harmonized Ab major scale) and finally Fmin7 (the 6th chord from the harmonized Ab major scale). Then it resolves to C. Hope that helps someone.
@@sonnetlabbe Absolutely! Just play around until you find one that sounds great! And, while you are at it, use secondary dominants in there too for a little bit of extra spice.
@@sonnetlabbeC phrygian is inversion of C ionian mode. This is unique modulation at circle of fifts with triangular extension... For exemple C ionian, C phrygian, E ionian, E phrygian back to C ionian.
@@IntrepidFox94 nah it’s like… while wearing headphones it’s offensive on the ears. They mixed it this way so that it would be separate from the bass, I get that, but it’s too much. Otherwise everything sounds great… that piano always sounds amazing.
It's incredible once it clicks! Very practical. Basically, if you know all your roman numerals (I chord, V chord, etc) you just sub everything but the tonic for that same roman numeral in the key of Ab, which is the bVI of C. The tonic's root is still in that key, so even when you're going out, something's in. (....Reading that back, I'm not sure that made any sense lol sorry)
@@anthonywritesfantasy so you mean for example in the key of C you would play the I chord as C, but you would play the ii of Ab instead of the ii of C?
This is the sweetest thing I've heard all year...makes you want to quit everything you are doing just to want to learn how to do just that. How can the world be so cruel with so much beauty within. Bass is fundamentally chill and articulate...
So basically what is happening.. The progression is I-IV-V-vi-I and Adam says everything goes to Ab but the tonic. Means now we will play C and rest of the chords means (4-5-6 chords) in the key of Ab which gives us Db-Eb-Fm and then we land back to C major.. you can use the same concept for the rest of the progressions in this video. And since this is Ab (C becomes Phrygian mode) so now if you want to explore you can change the mode of C to maybe C Dorian and now you are in the key if Bb. You can try the same chord progression and now they will be C - Eb - F - Gm - C. This is wildly subtle yet the concept just went under my radar.. one of the most beautiful lessons.. Thank you Adam and Open studio ❤
for some reason never worked on modal interchange like that. its so much simpler than how i was trying to create exercises for it. huge help brother, thanks!
At 0:23 and 0:33, and again at 0:40 and 0:50, the "vi" is mislabeled as a "iv", which makes it harder for intermediates to unravel. Love the video apart from that, though.
I don't know why TH-cam only introduced me to your videos in the last week, but this is the dopest shiz I've heard for a long time. I'm glad to know that sometimes the algo can do me a solid. Now if only we could get some more complex and interesting music like this in the damned charts. Love your work, and love how effortless you make it all look!
Thank you. The sentimental semantic of progressions. The chords sequence are in self the mirror of the not always necessary melodies line. Thank you for your powerfull class. Musical expression and musical language is not necessary the same body. The Music is not a abstract unity. It's an enormous objective abstract convention.
Please make a detailed video about it. This is other Worldly.. how do you even come up with these ideas.. though the approach is simple but man the sound!!!! Please make a video on how to sound better.. please 🙏🏻
The key of Ab major has the same notes in it as C phrygian. So if you want to play in C phrygian you basically play in Ab major but you end it on C major chord (C minor in "true" phrygian)
By the way, you CAN do this with other scales; he has shown this with E-flat major going to C as well. (That's borrowing from the Aeolian rather than the Phrygian as in this video)
Ahhhh, it's so beautiful. Can you imagine how rich my horn playing is becoming using this education? Good, baby..... so good. Prayers and props to the one and only David Sanborn. ❤
That chord melody you play over the top of Bm7 in the second example is just fuckin killer. So is the updated bass for the substituted chord progression each time
b6 and b3 are def my gotos for this sort of thing. 4 and b7 too... excellent short videos, BTW, and congrats on getting the new Emmett course in Open Studio!

2nd progression gave me everything in its right place
Yeah had the exact same thought
Me too!
Omg yes me too! Def a technique Radiohead uses in a lot of their writing
Yep. The first 3 chords are the same and in the same key. Great song. Love Radiohead.
Maybe a lil pyramid song for some garnish
Saving this to my “chord progressions stolen from open studio” playlist
LMAO was just thinking the same thing
the second progression of C - Bbm7 - Fm - Eb/G is sooooo smooth. I'm borrowing it asap.
thought its just me lol. The quality we're getting from them for free is insane

C Phrygian is relative Phrygian mode to Ab Major. It took me 15 minutes to put that together and no one else has commented this so if you’re confused too, there you go!
Super, thanks for that
Ohh
Ohhh yeah now I understand. And what is fridgian?
@efreeze287 3rd mode of the major scale, if you start from the third note in Ab major (which is C) you're in phrygian mode (C phrygian)
@@efreeze287 And to spell that scale out: C - Db - Eb - F - G - Ab - Bb - C
It is not fair how much cooler this sounds on piano than guitar.
How you voice the chords is a major role in it
As someone who is currently translating to this guitar I agree
Try diff voicings. Sounds great on guitar
as a guitarist there are just some things that deserve to be played on piano, like moonlight sonata
It's much easier to make chords like these sound good on guitar if there are two guitars.
This is so enjoyable to listen to that I've just had it on repeat for an hour now
Essentially the idea of the lesson was to play in the key of A flat but return to C major as the tonic instead of landing on A flat.
Same!
Same
That’s insane

But can you do that with any mode? Could you start on C and then borrow chords from some other mode of C
Well laid out, thanks. Haven’t tried the same exercise with other modes, but I’m sure there are others that sound good, too. What are your faves?

This is just absolutely beautiful. Please make it a song on every platform
Nice

Agreed except the kick is a bit much.

Who else just let this short play in a loop for a good 5 minutes just to hear how wonderfully smooth this example is? 🎹🎼🎶🔥❤️
5 mins? Been listening to this for 4 weeks now.... still smooth
I just keep coming back to it and marvel at how nice this progression sounds. Must study it to death!
@@timspencer1 Me too. 😊
Go listen to Robert Glasper - In My Element album. He really pioneered this style
These progressions helped me work stress free today, fighting the loneliness
Going to finish work and try these put and battle it myself. Music heals all.
@@GarethKitchenerMusicdid it work? 😎
@@AndryDrums92 It did, lost track of time playing music. The best feeling. Thanks for checking in 😀

symmetrical root movements.

@@marbleblue5127yep, that's the idea
that first Aflat section reminded me of Everything In Its Right Place by Radiohead!
True, I tried to mix and match some of these progressions and half them sounded like Radiohead song.
@@PamelaContiGlass radiohead does lots of modal interchange
You read my mind lol
Man come on! I JUST came up from my practice room. Back down I go.
Funny and just how I feel! Wanna get this down soooo bad.
Continually blown away by these shorts - excellent content, beautifully shot, perfectly timed. Thanks Adam, Bob, and the whole Open Studio gang!

Yeah… listen to this makes me so happy
That 2nd progression made me feel emotions I had never felt before
Reminds me of I love music by Ahmad Jamal
You make that stuff look so simple. I'll keep practicing so I can be like you; thanks for your videos
In the second progression it should be vi instead of iv
One of the most brilliant beautiful shorts I’ve heard. Keep bringing more beautiful chords replacements. Thanks
Love this. These shorts are gold.
So basically what is happening..
The progression is I-IV-V-vi-I and Adam says everything goes to Ab but the tonic. Means now we will play C and rest of the chords means (4-5-6 chords) in the key of Ab which gives us Db-Eb-Fm and then we land back to C major.. you can use the same concept for the rest of the progressions in this video.
And since this is Ab (C becomes Phrygian mode) so now if you want to explore you can change the mode of C to maybe C Dorian and now you are in the key if Bb. You can try the same chord progression and now they will be C - Eb - F - Gm - C.
This is wildly subtle yet the concept just went under my radar..

Man I wish you guys would do this for like 20 minutes. Has hint of Ben Folds. Any other current artists writing songs like this?

I bought a Keyboard yesterday because of this video.
Great video... and that bass is so on point. Beautiful. Shine your light fellas.
The bassplayer is great!
I love this sound. For every listen, my mind soothes a little more.
I'll in love
With this improvising and can't play a note yet. here I go
This sounds so much like a Keith Jarrett approach!
Hell yeah, that was super informative and quick.
It's amazing how amazing that sounds. Why doesn't the music on the radio sound like that?
Because of the evil of Taylor swift
@@davidseo190😂
i have to like every single video from you guys, naturally
Damn the everything but C goes to A flat progression made me physically bop to the beat
And then the walkdown and the progression after went even harder somehow
Bro why these chords sound so pleasing😭🔥
...because he is an amazing piano player !!! Fred/France
YEAH RIGHT?!😭 SO DAMN GOOD!😳
It’s because it’s a chromatic mediant from the one. Intervalically it’s either three or four half tones in either direction
It's supported by the drums and bass really tastefully and there's some tight playing on a very nice sound piano too.
SGSE
Walk down from the C major scales holds this progression beuatifully together
Dang can’t wait to get back home after work and try this haha
Please make a detailed video about it.
This is other Worldly.. how do you even come up with these ideas.. though the approach is simple but man the sound!!!! Please make a video on how to sound better.. please 🙏🏻
Ill strart practicing tommorow Ty Adam and open studios
Everything about this video is stunning!
1. I IV V vi (C;)
-> key down (Maj3)(Ab) repeat
-> I (original key)(C)
2. I ii vi V/3
-> key down (M3) repeat
-> I (original key)
I'm the only one in my family who can't play the piano, but I love the melodies...
This is my favorite new music. Who needs Spotify?
bass man is straight gangster
Could be an hour long song
This Ninja!!! Where's my pencil and paper?!?!?!?
Why was Ab chosen? Is there a reason to modulate to the bVI or can you do this with other scales?
Thats what im wondering as well
The key of Ab major has the same notes in it as C phrygian. So if you want to play in C phrygian you basically play in Ab major but you end it on C major chord (C minor in "true" phrygian)
By the way, you CAN do this with other scales; he has shown this with E-flat major going to C as well. (That's borrowing from the Aeolian rather than the Phrygian as in this video)
Look at their cush chords video series
Why not?
1-4-5-6 is an underated progression imo
Ahhhh, it's so beautiful. Can you imagine how rich my horn playing is becoming using this education? Good, baby..... so good. Prayers and props to the one and only David Sanborn. ❤
One day, I hope you tackle polychords, Adam. I bet you’d make some really tasty but spicy stew.
That chord melody you play over the top of Bm7 in the second example is just fuckin killer. So is the updated bass for the substituted chord progression each time

Incidentally, I-IV-vi-V is Baby Shark.
C major would be dominant in F minor which is Ab's relative so of course it works.
If you could highlight the keys like you do in your other videos it would be so amazing, I enjoy all of your tutorials in general.
vi- (no iv- as in the script)
