Bro you are the fuckin man. The silent hand in empowering keyboard players. Thanks to you, tons of bands and ensembles will be born (and are being born) which will help evolve music creation and new music genres. Sad thing is most people probably won't mention that you were their main teacher. But I just want you to know that I and other brothers do. God bless bro, let me buy you a beer sometime
What a coincidence! I've been thinking a lot about this chord lately (or maybe I should say chords, because, as you mentioned, we could also consider this 7sus2sus4 chord as a Major add9add13 chord or as a Min7 add11 chord). I called it the «Wonder chord» because i noticed that the great Stevie Wonder uses it to a great extent -and also because is a wonderful chord. So, i recommend checking out songs like “You're the sunshine of my life”, “My Cherrie Amour”, and pretty much any Stevie Wonder Song. Fito Paez is also a great musician who uses this chord a lot. Great video, as always.
I must say tbh Mangold has helped me so much in improving my music theory. It really did help me in writing and producing songs which would never be the same without his videos❤❤
To me instead of a "Big Sus" chord it looks more like an enriched eleventh chord in which you separate by an octave the bottom I-V from the top VII-IX-XI and you insert in between the duplicated ninth and eleventh degrees. And as usual in an eleventh chord, the third of the chord is omitted to avoid the dissonance between the third and the ninth. Does this make sense to you?
You're essentially right. That's what it is. However, I think the problem with that way of conceiving the chord is that presupposes that it's a Major chord, when it can also be a minor chord without the third, and there is no dissonance between the minor third and the eleven. In C, for example, you could use a diatonic G7sus2sus4 (potentially a dominant 7 chord), or you could use a diatonic A7sus2sus4 (potentially a minor chord). I think it's useful to conceive the chord as its own type of chord: is not minor, is not major, it's sus. Let me know your thoughts about what I said. And sorry if I didn't explain myself very well. English is not my native language.
@@juandavidgonzalez4684 thanks for your reply. I never heard before about a sus2sus4 chord and I will think about that. You are right that in a minor chord, the eleventh chord CAN include the third because it is not dissonant. But the chord remains an eleventh chord and without the third you cannot distinguish between major and minor. And even with your "Big Sus" naming convention you cannot distinguish between major and minor.
No. When I think about an 11th chord, it has a character: minor 11th, major 11th, dominant, etc. Sometimes, to avoid dissonance, the 11th degree might be raised (especially in a major 11th, where it's raised: #11), but the third will still be retained.
Super interesting. I've been sleeping on sus chords and that modulating up the whole step thing is something I hear a lot in the japanese fusion I've been stuck on for a hot minute. Was wondering why some of the sounds I was dicking around with didn't have the same character, they were supposed to be sus and not maj or min. Who'd have thunk?
I liked it thanks a lot Assaf.👌👍 I wanna ask why this video is not divided in sections, like your previous video, even when you provided table of contents in description.
Pumped for this, im all about suspending the audience in suspense of of were in major or minor.... or are we in both? Trick question, we're in all keys with the amazing suspended chords 🤣
I think you should totally make a Udemy Piano Course, I WILL buy it. It’s hard to find any advanced piano courses out there. It’s all beginner stuff or classical.
Meh, Udemy treats their creators like crap. I will never make a course for them. I'd rather give my knowledge away for free, as I do here on TH-cam, or make my own thing. But thanks for your kind words :)

Man this sound really gold. I can hear the 80's sounds and 90's RnB and really fresh to hear.
Thanks bro 🙏🏼
Same here, sounded like late 80s, and what helps it more is the electric piano sound. Probably wouldn't get that vibe if left on regular piano sound.
Yeah, the Nord Stage works wonder for this chord!
On acoustic piano it would sound more like jazz.@@seiph80
Gotta say, this channel really has 'gold' in it.
Literally improved by watching your videos over the years.
woah dude, thats a little sus

Really love your channel. It's a treasure trove of easily applicable techniques. My favorite still is your neo soul chords tutorial :)
That's a long wait! I'm curious about this "BIG sus"!
He’s keeping us in suspense,lol.
I'm very happy to see this pop up in my feed. I hope this is the beginning of more regularly scheduled videos!!

Wow! I love your sus4 such a worm chords! Thanks for the tip!
thanks, Mangold. your lessons are always helpful!
Great tutorial, the big sus really gives a great sound
Very informative and enjoyable....Thanks for the upload.
Wonderful, you always keep surprising me!
I'd just call this a IV with a bass on V (it's what comes to mind aurally anyways), but nomenclature notwithstanding this is a great video as usual

always enjoy these - thanks!

If you changed the first timestamp from 0:13 to 0:00, you would get nicer chapters for the video :)
Cool stuff,sounds like 1970s music,earth wind & fire,etc.
This is a classic "R&B chord", and the sound itself (an electric piano) makes it even more suggestive.

What program are you using to display the chords/keys?

Chordie
ChordieApp (I think Chordie is something different).
As someone already told you below your previous video: "sus" doesn't mean "sustained", but "suspended" ;-)

Not exactly: It doesn't have the third degree, which gives the chord its major or minor character.
