😫🙌🏽 I thank God for you! I have struggled with left-hand chords for years! I had an amazing organist show me some left-hand basics like 20 years ago, but there is so much I'm not proficient with. Half of the battle is knowing what to do besides playing the same thing in my right-hand.
The half diminished can be used with a 4th in the left hand also example: in C - C Eb Gb Bb a 5th is Eb to Bb but Bb to Eb is a 4th ❤ It’s lowkey the main chord that can use all three left hand chords 4th 5th and Tritone. Great video!!!!!
The dominant 7th chord is the only chord that naturally fits in the major scale, the harmonic minor scale, and the melodic minor scale with the same root note. This is why the dominant chord and its core tritone sound so good together in music.
Sean you are a great music teacher. You make music theory very simple to understand also you know how to teach beginners to play like professionals, you know how to the the concepts to make mediocre musicians sound great.You have definitely open my eyes about the tritones in the left hand. You definitely enhanced my chord palette. Thank you, my teacher and my mentor.Sean you are a master teacher
Hol' up! hol' up!, Mamaaa, Imma star! Dat's "ME" in that video! Listen, I wanna give thanks to my Lord & Saviour Jesus Christ, and my parents for giving me life, certainly to all my lovely fans, and most of all, to all the little people who put in sooo much work just to climb up on a couch! Thank you all, and "yes", I'll be delighted to sign the loads & loads & loads of autographs that you all are so desperately praying for! (But, seriously folks....), Sean, thanks for replying to my comment in an outstanding way & in a very timely manner! I hope the video helped a lot of people the way it has enlightened me with more "clarity". God bless you brotha Sean and may the people continue to witness you prove what a gift you have, that you're willing to share, thx! 🎹

Wow, that makes so much sense. That's allowing the bass player to perfume their role, and not making the bass line sound too muddy. I get it. I see now. Usually my left hand is playing 1 note or 2 notes especially when in the 1st and 2nd octave. I had to figure that out because as you said it sounds muddy trying to play triads or 7th chords in the lower 2 octaves or invert the chords, which takes them out of the octave 2 range. I noticed your longer bass note and tritone chart had inverted chords when calculating all 12 notes. I realized from practicing that certain keys are always complimentary to each other and they invert as you keep playing up or down the piano. The larger shift in octaves is what also either builds tension or eases tension, just depending upon which direction you play, downward or upward. But leaving the bass note out of the equation makes so much sense, to give that honor to the bass player's part. That's under true orchestrated music composition.
Do you know how many years i've needed to know what a tri-tone substitution was??!!! No! You don't!! lol, but it rhymes with schmecade!! smh You cleared it up in the first 3 MIN., and some odd seconds into this video right here!!! To be honest I almost didn't watch, what i was sure was just another nothing burger video on tri-tones. However,,,Thank you for what ever you just did for me!!!! Exactly what it is I haven't even been to the piano to find out yet, but it is going to be amazing!!! Thank you!!!
it feels like ther's some relation between that tritone pair matching chart and the ideas of barry harris. he said in a video that the notes are divided into two gropus of 6, and seemed to be emphasizing the role of diminished intervals in organizing it all. just trying to wrap my head around all this still
At 12:29.. Enharmonically they are different notes (note names) but the same/similar sound... so, for F#, it is A# and E. For Db... F and Cb, etc then show the simpler enharmonic system.
I have a question So we can use the tritone not only to substitute Dominant chords but also any type of chords according to the chart? or is it ONLY to substitute DOMINANT CHORDS?
I have a question. Do the same rules apply if the bass note differs from the chord? For instance, if the chord is an Am and the bass note is a D. Can we play the full chord since it won't clash with the bass note?
Ok I have some what of a confusing question, and that is if I’m playing a some in the key of Cm and I have to go to the 4 which is a Fm chord what kind of Tritone do I play against the Fm??? Thanx
Quick note, being that I had to cringe every time you said "leff" in this video. You obviously know how to spell it/the word!! Why you refuse to pronounce the 'T' in left when you say it, is irritating, and beyond me, considering you make an obvious attempt to sound intelligent, rather, (my bad), speak intelligently as it where, only to mis-pronounce a 1st grade 4 letter word , come on bro, it's called a tell. and at your level musically, and intellectually should not be happening. keep up the phenomenal work, and speak like you play!

This is by far the most meaningful Tritone tool I have ever seen! Thanks amigo!!
Glad it was helpful!

This is the best lesson on Tritones I have ever come across. Thanks!!! Great teaching❤!!
Appreciate it!!!
Very practical teaching on the trot ones. The best I’ve seen. Excellent job.
Wow, thanks man!

I have always followed your tutorials sir… They are really helpful.. You’ve helped me grow tremendously 🙏🏽🙏🏽👊🏽
Good man!!
The fact that the two corresponding notes for each tritone are a tritone themselves is another way to remember them. Music theory is so fascinating..
Yeah man! Thanks for watching!
I like the way this guy reaches. I'll take a look at his course. I'm glad I found this video
Doc! Much appreciated man!
19:04, just time marking to go back to this move. nice video as always sean
Thanks so much man!
This was transformative. Being a member is probably on my young adult bucket list, or sooner
This really helped me break into some new ideas for piano and guitar. Thank you, great teaching!
wow, Great to hear!
Excellent Sean, clear and concise I like your way of thinking.
Excellent video, thank you brother !!! This video along with mastery of the basics is priceless....
Glad you enjoyed it!

Nice summary!
Over the Rainbow Changes to View Would Be Helpful Also. Fantastic Teaching !
I really enjoyed this particular lesson
Phenomenal Teaching Sri🙏🏾 … Thank you kindly!
Awesome teaching!!!
Wow amazing video - awesome lesson- - love how you simplify something that can be complicated- you are an awesome teacher-- !!!
You're very welcome!
@12:58 🤯
Also note, the two keys that use the same tri-tones are themselves a tri-tone! Makes it easy to remember.
Thank you, thank you and thank you. This is insanely amazing. You just made my piano playing a lot easier. So freaking cool.
Thanks so much for the support!!
This is some VALUABLE stuff man. 👏🏽 🫡
thanks man!
great lesson
Good teaching! Glad brother Casper turned me on to you.
Oh dope!
Amazing..wish I knew this years ago!!!
Juicy Chords. Thanks 4 Sharing The Juiciness "Sir Sean🎵Wilson."🤔.🔥 Lessons. TRITONES 🤔.. Count 6 Half-Steps Up From Basic (or standard) Second Chord Note.😏.
I've noticed this throughout my life but never added it up due to my lack of theory knowledge. Thanks for doing the math, man.
Yessir!! Thanks for watching!
Bro, This lesson is incredible! Thank you Sir!
You're welcome!
Outstanding Teaching... very helpful
Thank you Sean this is an aha moment. This is what I needed!
Thanks so much for the support!
Great lesson
Growing up, I played tri-tones more often in classical music. R and B music was mostly block type major and minor traids.
this lesson is a masterpiece..thanks doc
Doc!! Much appreciated man!
Awesome!!!
Great teacher .Thank you Sir
This is really helpful thanks
You're welcome. Glad it was helpful.
Thanks a lot, Sean!
I will need to take a bit of time to chew on this into little pieces.
Great teaching!
AWESOME AND EXCELLENT BRO! YOU ARE THE BEST!!!!!
Crazy beautiful

Appreciate it man!! Thanks for watching!
That was nice. Minute 20-21. Do you have any examples or other applications of using this progression? Please and Thankyou...
Hello. Great teaching. Can we also use different inversions of the right hand chord in our lefthand to make it sound fuller?
Yes that’s the idea!
@@SeanWilsonPiano 🙏🙏🙏

Much appreciated

At 12:29.. Enharmonically they are different notes (note names) but the same/similar sound... so, for F#, it is A# and E. For Db... F and Cb, etc then show the simpler enharmonic system.
the spelling was shown to intentionally show the similarities
Thanks for sharing, where can I find the BOOK or PDF on this topic? @Sean Wilson?
Great stuff bro
Thanks man!
Great teaching
Thank you!
Awww…this is very helpful
Thanks Sean
You're welcome.
Thanks from Brasil, Amazon
Thanks ❤❤
Great Stuff 👍 ❤❤❤❤❤😊
Thanks so much for the support!!
I have a question
So we can use the tritone not only to substitute Dominant chords but also any type of chords according to the chart?
or is it ONLY to substitute DOMINANT CHORDS?
Fantastic
Hey Sean ! Do you have the same video lecture to explain the theory in your website step by step
I have roadmaps on my website which teach theory for beginners.
Main takeaway is the 3rd and 7th
Yup!
What do I do with my left hand? Rootless voicings.
This has really helped
Appreciate it man!
Can I use my one as a tritone and my third as another tritone eg: C g flat B flat and E
Will this work for guitar playing also, I have small hands
Great, thanks 🙏
You are welcome!
Hey there is the one and only❤
I have a question. Do the same rules apply if the bass note differs from the chord? For instance, if the chord is an Am and the bass note is a D. Can we play the full chord since it won't clash with the bass note?
It depends on the slash chord. In your example Am and D bass, that actually forms an Amin9. So you would use the LH rules for a minor chord.
@@SeanWilsonPiano Oh OK Thanks that clarifies it for me. Again Thank you, the lesson was excellent. This is the best tri tones lesson I’ve seen.
Wow!👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾
Thank you boss
You're welcome!
Ok I have some what of a confusing question, and that is if I’m playing a some in the key of Cm and I have to go to the 4 which is a Fm chord what kind of Tritone do I play against the Fm??? Thanx
You may need to rephrase this question
I don't seem to follow your counting method.
This is the video we all wanted 😂😂😂😂
Appreciate you always man!
Please make more tutorial about jazz Bebop Piano...😂😂
thankyou!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
You're welcome!
I never know what to do!
If I was playing w a bass guitarist I was thinking of cutting all the lows on a piano w an eq and playing all the bass notes on piano
That could work too huh? Just missing out of the left hand fullness
Finally Someone Breaks The Infamous TRI TONE in a way its Really Understood
Lawdhamercy!
great teaching. But the resonance of the out of tune strings. ugh. the piano must be in a room where is temperature is cool and non consistent.
I guess it is good. But ....
man that piano is out of tune. its assaulting my ears.
Its a keyboard that is detuned for effect
Quick note, being that I had to cringe every time you said "leff" in this video.
You obviously know how to spell it/the word!!
Why you refuse to pronounce the 'T' in left when you say it, is irritating, and beyond me, considering you make an obvious attempt to sound intelligent, rather, (my bad), speak intelligently as it where, only to mis-pronounce a 1st grade 4 letter word , come on bro, it's called a tell. and at your level musically, and intellectually should not be happening.
keep up the phenomenal work, and speak like you play!
The world is watching.
