Hey Jeff on any given Sunday morning the waterfall technique might indeed prove to be overwhelming for many congregants. Still it's great for illustration purposes. And Great Is Thy Faithfulness is a good example to play around with. I myself frequently practice with What A Friend We Have in Jesus. I find that's a relatively easy one to reharmonize. Thanks for this video and thank you for sharing your wonderful gift as always
I'm so glad you're back delivering great content as usual. Three years ago, when my daughter was born, I used to watch your videos at 3 or 5 am while feeding her and it was so helpful. I still take advantage of many of those concepts when writing music. Thanks Jeff!
This was a great way to get the most out of reharmonizing a song, learned a lot, thanks for sharing your time and effort us.i will keep in touch. Have a great day every one. 👍👐
A huge YES to more harmony videos! Thanks for this series, it's been really great to see a different approach to harmony that frees up my thinking from diatonic droning on!
I am an enthusiastic amateur musician and I always toyed with this concept of harmonization…until you came along and demonstrated it live! Now I know I wasn’t crazy! Thank you and I will be purchasing your book and any other material on offer. You have truly made my day.
I love when you get into explaining the theory behind the lessons with your personal touch.This is what first thrust me to your channel.Your a excellent guy and teacher....God Bless
Well done Jeff! I've been watching your channel for some time. You finally compelled me to bust out my credit card and buy the Sick Chords bundle. I'm PLEASED to finally support your efforts financially because you deserve it. Thank you!!
Great tutorial. I think the interesting thing you’re doing is constructing the reharms off the leading tones of the melody. You can literally see the melody notes being played if you just focus on the top-most keys on the virtual keyboard. Little twist towards the end, but a deceptively “simple” approach that sounds and looks complex and rich. Thanks for the great content and inspiring teaching.
It's really great to have you, who have a system and method and language to teach these styles and sounds, instead of "that feels good, that feels good, just play what you hear" and throw in a bunch of complicated runs and sum up with a laughter. They may play very very well but their "lessons" don't worthsh it.
Jeff, this sounds very good, but my question is, #1 I'm a jazz alto sax player, how do I improvise over this? #2 I'm an unschooled singer with a great ear who is hired to sing harmony behind the lead singer. What do I sing?
I’ve really missed your videos. This is another great one. What about a couple of Christmas tune reharmonised like O Come O Come Emmanuel or O Come All Ye Faithful.
I love this, I was thinking about bass and melody note possibilities and I ran across this video. Will you do more songs like this in the same key so that all melody notes could be covered.
So can you reharmonize by using other concepts, like doing a 2-5 (F to C) and then go down one chromatically (E) and then do a 2-5 (E to A), etc.? Can you also do things like reharmonize by outlining a minor 7 chord (F to Aflat to C to Eflat)?
A Small Request Jeff from myself Joshua Daniel all the way from India... Please do teach us about the context in detail about the functionality of jazz in a better way... Much more slower with some examples.and stuffs...I didn't get your context in your previous video regarding Row Row Row a boat ... That song. In the Key of Fmajor... My querie for you is that it would be better if you teach us how those jazz chords and functionalities work together Appropriately .... Thank you Jeff ..
As a young guitar player I read Steve Vai say he re-harmonized things like the Star Spangled Banner b4 joining Zappa. I never had a clue how to do that. But Watching the formula and a few other videos of yours, it's making sense. But I have so many questions. I got lost a couple times... as per your choices. Does this work in a simplified way also... to harness it for Pop leaning music? Thanks! Would love/need a 2 hour consultation with you.
I love the sound of major 7th chords. Is it possible to reharmonize songs which are written with mostly dominant 7th chords and change them to major 7ths?
Please, just one question. How do you go about forming or finding the chords that go along with the melody? Because, if we follow your logic, we could lay down simple chords following the chromatic bassline. I would like to understand, please.
Traditional Hebrew Worship music is freaking beautiful. Seems like music that is dedicated to YHVH is always the most powerful, go figure. Yohan Sebastian Bach?! Psh. Come on...
These lessons are super cool man. Never saw topics like this that can go from simple to complex in so little time and so well explained.
How did a Jewish guy get involved with gospel and neo soul harmony. Great job you def invited to the cookout.

Cool ideas even for guitarists!
Totally!

You're very welcome!
Great series of videos.
I love chords so more videos would be cool.
You got it!

Welcome back Jeff! More harmony videos on piano please. So good to see you back with content.
Welcome back, Jeff! It's great to see you posting again. I hope all is well
Thanks, you too!
I love when you get into explaining the theory behind the lessons with your personal touch.This is what first thrust me to your channel.Your a excellent guy and teacher....God Bless
'Really great ideas for voice leading and finding cool harmonies. Good stuff Jeff!
Well done Jeff! I've been watching your channel for some time. You finally compelled me to bust out my credit card and buy the Sick Chords bundle. I'm PLEASED to finally support your efforts financially because you deserve it. Thank you!!
Simply superb! Inspiring and empowering in equal measure. Very many thanks, Sir.

Welcome back!!! Really missed these sessions. Looking forward to more of this fantastic stuff…
you upload this video at the same time I wanna learn reharmonization. thanks soooo much!
Continue with these types of videos they are extremely helpful Thanks 🙏
Thanks!
Very cool technique!!! Thanks ;) I love harmony ideas like this!!!
Really great stuff Jeff. Your enthusiasm is palpable. Nothing better than music!
Amazing
Happy to see your tuto again
More to come!

Thanks a lot!
This is really Tasty. The last example where you started slow and inserted those fonky chonky chords at the end sounds awesome ❤️
Brilliant. The theory really helps with remembering chords and transposing to all key. Excellent work. Thank you 😊.
Thanks for this! The same idea, only with a dominant-motion bass line, would be very interesting.
I've got something cookin' along those lines. Stay tuned!
Great content, Jeff. A Hug from Brazil!!
Of course we want more
Sweet, thanks Jeff!
This will definitely crank up the stank tank. Many thank!
Love this! I think we need more D’Angelo analyses next
Thanks!
YOU ARE GREAT
Jeff, this sounds very good, but my question is, #1 I'm a jazz alto sax player, how do I improvise over this? #2 I'm an unschooled singer with a great ear who is hired to sing harmony behind the lead singer. What do I sing?
Awesome lesson thank you 😊
Z says anything you want it to be if it sounds dope! But you had me at X melody notes and waterfalls and inner voices spooky 👻
Genius thankyou 🙏
I’ve really missed your videos. This is another great one. What about a couple of Christmas tune reharmonised like O Come O Come Emmanuel or O Come All Ye Faithful.
5:48 hoooo weee! Hit 'em with that Steely Dan chord!
Great video thanks

No particular rule imo. 'If it sounds good to your ears, stick with it' is what i've been telling myself when it comes to reharmonizations.
Jewish with great knowledge on this matter. Got my subscription.
Muchas Gracias
Are you completely disregarding the "key" the song is in, and instead completely focused on reharmonizing the melody? Love your videos 🤩
A little bit of both in the second example of this video...but not at all in the first example.
Like it!
merci ^^
"newsflash: I am Jewish" 😃
You are amazing man!

Hey Jeff great video. I'm wondering; is there a prerequisite to watching this?
Can you do a reharmonization of a Pizmonim?
Please, just one question. How do you go about forming or finding the chords that go along with the melody? Because, if we follow your logic, we could lay down simple chords following the chromatic bassline. I would like to understand, please.
This is the course im looking for and to reharmonize chords and which chords to use. Im only playing out of F# key. Can you help me with this?
hi, signed up to your newsletter. I would like to sign up for your "sick chords" bundle. Is there a particular email I should be using?
Great! The congregation might get a little restless though. But the concept applies to secular music
very well!
could you outline the voice leading principles you used leading from one tension chord to the other?
...there is for sure more than: "short moves, let same tones stay"
💐
when will the bundle be back ?
"Great is thy faithfulness" is quoted from the book of Lamentations chapter 3, written by the Old Testament prophet Jeremiah.
so the melody notes - are they the original melody notes of the song or did you create that?
Take 6, anyone?
First guy to like it!
I don't agree that voice is Db9#11 I think it's easier understood as Eb7#5/Db
How do you know which chords to make minor?
As someone who is also Jewish, that “I’m Jewish” killed me.
Why do I hear, "My country 'tis of thee / Sweet land of liberty"? xD
Very similar rhythm in the melody
Hey first comment 👌🏾
Lol, I already got sick chords vol 1 :(
Singing hymns to God is no color enjoy singing hymns to God Jeff
Glad that u’re a Jewish and im an Agnostic Atheist 😃☝️💪✌️
You just need more credit.Goof job mate.
SO YOU ARE JEW?!
glad to see another jewish guy who likes playing the gospel style
Jewish man always the best,, i am Christian❤
And I am Hebrew Israelite with Jewish Spirituality and Godly mannerisms - without your musical knowledge (lgh)
Excelentissimo is the instructions.
Newsflash😂
Jeff commits musical adultery on camera
Traditional Hebrew Worship music is freaking beautiful. Seems like music that is dedicated to YHVH is always the most powerful, go figure. Yohan Sebastian Bach?! Psh. Come on...
jewish schemes LOL
Muchas Gracias !
