When do you leave out notes? Like do you leave out the 11 completly in a G13 chord if its not written as G13(#11)? How about the 9? Also why is the 13 too clashy with the #5 in the altered chord (and other examples with minor ninth) , but we can add a b9 that has the minor ninth as well but with the 1? Brilliant video, as usual!
So I’m thinking you have to know all of the major keys and their respective signatures, in order to identify the 9, 11, and 13 quickly. Is this true? For example, if I was asked to play the 13th as an extension to an Ab major 7, I have to know the 6th in the Ab major scale. Am I right? There are no short cuts? If so, this is one of the pieces that no jazz instructor has yet to mention in any of the videos I’ve seen. The basic question a student would ask is: how do I know what the 9, 11, and 13 is for each of the chords? Answer: know all of the 12 major keys, and their key signatures very very well. Essentially know your major scales inside and out. Hope I’m right about that. I’m not, I’m open to short cuts?
Your lessons are clear and uncluttered, without being pedantic. Just enough conversation to keep things fresh - an excellent balance, (and one that's probably more difficult than you make it look) thank you.
Great video Noah. Isn't "sus" short for suspended. It's been that way for the 40 years I've played music. When did sustain become something other than the pedal?
Hey! It does stand for suspended, but in this case suspended 4. We suspend the 4 even though it seems to want to resolve to the 3. You can also have a sus2 replace the 3 as well. Make sense?
'Now that's all I have time to cover'. Are you kidding, Noah?? As usual, in just over 10 minutes you have put out SO MUCH!!! One thing that really blows my mind is how easily the quartal chords are derived from the major 9 ( 3 - 6 - 9 ). And your explanation of the sus chords at the conclusion of the video was the cherry! I would have eventually found out about it on my own. And yet, I'm glad that I watched the video instead. It leverages my harmonic knowledge. You sir, are generous beyond your own recognition. Thank you so much 🎵🎼🎹⏭️⏯️⏪🎚️😎
Great video man! I have often seen C11 chords. This really confuses me because I was always taught, like you explained, to never use just a regular 11 and instead use a #11. Any thoughts on this?
Can you do something on "Stan Tracey" (The UK's Thelonius Monk) and the Dudley Moore trio ie: Dudley Moore meets Errol Garner and Oscar Peterson. thanks..... They both used some amazing chord voicings which I can never quite figure out.
This is the best chord extension video I’ve ever seen! You always explain things really clearly. Thanks. 😊 Also, do you have a favorite chord that uses a chord extension?
Noah, I got a query .Correct if i am wrong? In the chord extensions for minor keys you include the 13 as if it was from the major scale which isn't in the C minor key and checking according to another source the 13 is in fact omitted. Just saying this because when I observed the 9 11 13 , noticed it can be played as a diminished triad based off of the 9 and those notes comply with the relevant scale in this case C minor. I am not wrong. The A (second octave let's suppose) or 13 is not included in C minor natural or the harmonic is it because it causes dissonance from the third and is usually reserved for melody?
Awesome Noah !! Loved that train-wreck Cdim7 (9/11) chord LOL. The C13sus is beautiful and when you flat the 9, it sounds like the 9 was the sus LOL. Vincent Guaraldi used to use this a lot... Thanks for sharing !!
That's a great chord + extension overview! Could you please make a Video about how to apply these extensions? Like which chord extension you use in which situation. I know there's a lot of possibilities, but it would be nice if you could at least cover some common situations like 2-5-1s, Turnarounds or Tritone-Substitutions. Thank you for your great work!

I’m a gospel musician and that C7(#9#5) type chord is used very often in gospel music. Thanks for this video!
My pleasure!
May God bless you❤
Sus stands for suspension, not sustain. It's a term from classical harmony.
Or suspended.
Not "suspension" but suspended.
9:00 … wait, Sus stands for Sustained? Since when is it not Suspended?!

Thanks appreciate the comment and so glad you like them!

@@NoahKellman I think they asked because you called it sustained rather than suspended.
@@circles79 ohhhh haha my bad. That makes sense. Slip of the tongue! I meant suspended.

Do you use a specific software to create the chord names and sheet music in the visualisation. Could you let us know the name?
It's probably called Chordie App or Classroom Maestro.

First Comment 🤗🤗 this is the best explanation and revealing the secrets of chord Extension!
Bravo Noah!
Thanks very much for watching! Glad you found it helpful.
Great video Noah ! i like the jazz fundamental videos ,after learning that one will be on the right track !
Awesome, very glad to hear it!!
This is the best chord extension video I’ve ever seen! You always explain things really clearly. Thanks. 😊 Also, do you have a favorite chord that uses a chord extension?
Hey John, glad you like it! Not sure I could choose a single favorite 😅
Yep,that was pretty good
@@NoahKellman I couldn’t choose a favorite either, haha! Have a nice day.

If the 11 sounds “clash-y” with the 3, then how come the #11 doesn’t sound just as “clash-y” with the 5 … ? 🤔
What is the name of the visualization software you use? Thanks
Excellent video! What is the software are you using for the chord display?
anybody know?
It's probably either Cordie App or Classroom Maestro.
Thanks Noah, always good to see another vid from you.
My pleasure, thanks for watching!
I'm still confused. You say all tones are based on a major scale, but in case of Cmin7 why do you flat the 7th tone?
Yes, finding some problems with the 13 on minor scales. Think it better to omit.
Thank you for making this plain and to the point. Had to subscribe.
I'm translating this into guitar and it's awesome!
Awesome video!
@@divinechijindu7465 Thanks glad you liked it!
Thanks for this clear concise tutorial on extensions.
Hey Paul, my pleasure glad you found it helpful
why there is sharps in C major scale
9:12 D7b9#9/C
10:06 phrygian chord
Thank you Noah
sus is suspended
Best teacher Noah !! there will no be another you 😂.
Hah thank you! 🙏
Thank You so much for this ! You recommended an Ear Training App in another Video, but can‘t find it anymore … could You help me please ?
Sure, I like GoodEar Pro
@@NoahKellman Thank You !!! 🙏🙏🙏
isn't a "sus" chord stand for "suspended"?
Hey Lisa, yep, just misspoke
Awesome Noah !!
Loved that train-wreck Cdim7 (9/11) chord LOL.
The C13sus is beautiful and when you flat the 9, it sounds like the 9 was the sus LOL.

Amazing clearly explained video Thanks Noah!
Thanks for the explanation, i was always in the clouds
Beautifull videos brow! So helpfull!!
Great teaching
Muito bom mesmo
Obrigado 😊
