I will be honest I am learning to play the piano at the age of 60. I am retired now and have the time to put to it. I have always enjoyed music but never had the time or funds to work on it the way I wanted. I used to play the electric bass badly when I was 20 but raising a family and the expense of that kept me from continuing. I hope to follow you as mush as I can and your relaxed calm style is very appealing to me. Good luck with the series and I hope to send you other posts as time goes by. Rick M.
if you have any questions regarding music theory that you'd like to ask a person instead of searching for answers in a video, I am an available resource. I'd be happy to answer any questions that you may have. good luck to you
Same situation Rick (61) but using a Motif xf to compose, very new to keyboard and find it very enjoyable training to use both hands at the same time. Never too late to learn and it is a good way to keep that brain alive :D
This is why music attracted so many people. The difference between each choice of a chord is so subtle and yet it gives you completely different color and feels.
Arr thank you Bhuyakasha. I tend to go extreme with my titles, but only when I believe they will deliver and live up to the name. I really appreciate you saying that :)
Jazz Tutorial the chords and sequences you share are so beautiful I cried. Such evocative arrangements. Thank you for sharing. I didn’t see any chord progression formulas. Bit confused why say progressions in the title when it’s “lush chords in great sequence”. Did I miss a progression formula?
Thank you so much. These are lush and clean and beautiful. And I can do them (with a lot of effort!) I’m fairly new to all this, bit are these truly “progressions”? If they are would you please pretty please write the formulas for us so we heathens can apply it to any key?
I'm a 66 year old Nooby of almost 4 months but I discovered your channel early on. You blew me away since it was way over my head, but I kept coming back. Your 3rd progression will probably become my favorite also. I had to rewind and listen to the description again, but then I answered both questions correctly. You really have a neat way to teach. Relaxed. Merci beaucoup.
As a guitarist this gave me lots of cool stuff to work on. Those slide chords involve a bit of finger gymnastics, but they sound killer when arpeggiated. Thanks for the brain exercise, cheers.
excellent video! never too old to learn new things...I have been playing for 60 years and learn new things every time I sit down at the piano....thank the Lord every time I play that my momma encouraged me to play....wonderful career/pastime!
Love it! As i get older, i realize i cannot just force myself to do things that i am not meant to do. Work that means nothing to my soul.. i will not do it. Instead, i must hear this jazz tutorial, listen music and practice my piano. Thanks a million, Julian!
Someday I’ll write a worthy comment that expresses fully how much I love your channel, but for now: I just stumbled across you, this is my first video, and I’ve been playing with it and soaking in your easy-to-comprehend, yet deeply satisfying content for over an hour now. You’ve ignited my passion to better understand and compose jazz-inspired piano with which to play around, only now I’ve found a video I can learn from and resonate with. So thank you. This video is perfect.
These chords sound so beautiful ... I'm learning piano again after 30 years without playing and I'm happy about it. I've seen so many Jazz videos in the recent months and it's just these beautiful Jazz chords that inspired me to try it again. Thanks a lot for sharing this.
As somebody who has just started learning Jazz piano, I was so proud of myself to be able to identify the partial 2-5 progressions in the last chord progression!
Great stuff! i will be having a ball applying this to guitar.An awesome way to move away from the obvious guitar oriented progressions that can easily become repetitive and quite boring. Thank you!
your first progression reminds me of walking in Chicago at night. the streetlights reflecting off the city, and the shimmering river that cuts through streets all around. Romantic, deep, a bit of grit, and the possibility left in the last few hours of the night. Strangely specific and lovely
I really enjoyed that Julian; thanks so much. I gave up piano when I was 10 (60 years ago) and this has got me interested again! All that time ago I used to love listening to my parent's old jazz 78s; one in particular; Joe Sullivan playing Gin Mill Blues. I couldn't work out what the left hand was doing and my teacher wouldn't (or couldn't) help me, nor could anyone else. I gave up out of frustration. I recently found a recording on here and managed to get the sheet music from the U.S. It's way beyond me now, but I reckon this is within my grasp. Excellent!
Unbelievably helpful. It was nice to show someone demonstrating some really interesting and super jazzy chord progressions and ideas for expansion. So many demos that keep you in the ii V I or I IV V blocks
A BIG thumbs up for you Mr Bradley, thank you for sharing your wonderful knowledge of jazz harmonic chord progressions, you have given me plenty of ammunition of playing time to enhance my melodic and harmonic jazz chord, modal and riffing structures to get my pinkies into! Cheers, Peter.
I was really digging this video.... And then I realized it was uploaded on my BirthDaY!!! :DD Thansk for the instructions. Definiteli tutorial to remember..
I am just beginning to learn piano chord progressions, and I like the way you try to simplify it for someone like me, who is pretty much all thumbs on piano. Thank you.
Julian, it's Great! Even though I'm focusing on underscore/hybrid orchestral type of musical composition - it's so wonderful that there are so enjoyable tutorials on jazz/pop harmony ideas in contrast. Great and relaxing voice you've got, video editing skills and firstly, educational influence in here! Cheers! And thank you :)
Arr thank you so much Lowgan! That really means a lot to me. And I'm just preparing some more chord progression videos like this one - really hope you enjoy them
I'd like to point out that the string samples in Reflekt's "Need To Feel Loved" were originally from a track called "Ghosts," composed by Thomas Newman for the Road to Perdition film soundtrack.
Absolutely - a chord progression is a chord progression - and can be played on any instrument that can play chords guitar, piano, vibraphone, harp ... you name it
Oddly, the first progression puts me in mind of the jazzy ambient drum and bass of the late 90s ... give 4 hero's 'Golden age of life' (which has a very similar progression) a listen...
I am 67 and learning how to play. I am mastering “Dark Side of the Moon” and the chords Richard Wright has written will blow your mind....I LOVE THE PIANO. Since I started, about a year now, it has help lower my blood pressure to the point where I am off meds.
As of 1:10 So beautiful, so brief, but so expressive. Which reinforces what I've always thought, "nothing, nothing more impacting in music than voicings; pure moods and modes. And he goes form a pignant one to an even greater one, and then some. And at 5:27 and 5:45 I'm just blown away.
Yes I want to know too! When I tried it on my piano I came close with G - Am - C - F, which sounds very similair. but might be missing something. Play with left hand these notes: G-D A-E E-C F-C, Right hand: B C E A
Ive only just discovered you. Not only is these tutorials great for piano, they have added some great ideas to my constant search for guitar tips and licks. Great lessons man.

Besides, he's actually the 1st duke of Windsor.
Actually, I assumed all Brits that are not Princes, or Kings were all gay! Thanks for verifying.

PLEASE do more of these. I feel this is the best way to learn new progressions! You are super. Thank you for this. I appreciate this.

Probably the best thing my ears had in months.
That piano tone is so beautiful, rich, harmonic, but not harsh...

This was so amazing, thanks Julian! Been wanting to learn how to combine chords in this fashion for such a long time.
I keep playing that jazz beat in my head,, man this is deep, beautiful
I'm here for the lofi jazz chords thanks for the lessons
Progression 1 and 3 were my faves. This lesson helped me understand how to put those Major and minor 7th chords together effectively.
thanks.
That first progression is so nice! Amazing playing
Thank you Robert!
th-cam.com/video/jOYtXp7F-i8/w-d-xo.html
the final progression is mind blowing....
definitely the best endless progression so far...
thank you for sharing
this reminds me of Robert Glasper. Thank you for sharing your knowledge and music.
So happy I signed up for the Jazz lessons series. It's pretty incredible, but looking back on these videos I finally "get it." Wish you all the best!
I watched this whole video and I don't even play piano 😅 beautiful playing . you're very skilled

Oh, those delicious minor 9ths and 11ths!!! Artists have their colours, and we have these - synaesthesia RULES!

Good point, well made.

A lot of different songs use the first one
Ahhh good call!

I know this video is mostly for piano but it just sounds beautiful on guitar.
is it playable on the guitar? does it use the same chords with the piano?

All of these remind me of an artist called Haywyre and his album called "of mellows and revelations".

Thanks man! This helped me get an idea of some chords I can use for my lofi music.
This is great! When you finished the first progression I thought you already showed all three 😂
Damn, you rock, man! Wish I wasn't 77. Had I found this 10 years ago, what pleasure would I have had and given.
Man, this made me want to play piano

The first progression with A major just resonates so deeply with me...
What are the chords in the intro while you're talking??? Those are great too
Yes I want to know too! When I tried it on my piano I came close with G - Am - C - F, which sounds very similair. but might be missing something.
Play with left hand these notes: G-D A-E E-C F-C,

Hi, thanks so much for sharing! What is the song you've used at the very beginning of your video? Thanks a lot!!!
Alessandro Bovero Leaving a comment.
Watching your videos makes me fell that I can really play music. So nice.
The second chord progression is that of "Ghosts" by Thomas Newman for the Road to Perdition soundtrack... Just a different key
Easy and calm instructions - just love it!
FUCK that first one is good.
So pleased you liked that one AB, I'm just preparing some more videos like this one (on chord progressions) - so I have some more just like the first one. Stay tuned :)

The first chord progression you used here can be found in Kendrick Lamar's "These Walls."
greebat I knew I had heard in that album somewhere! Thanks!
erhh, sorry, that's incorrect
Kev what's the actual progression then?
no idea, but it does not sound the same. similar motion though.
