Thanks for the detailed teaching here. I have a much more clear concept now! As a beginner, you have taught me a lot Warren. I always don't understand why O here a raised now in the minor scale. Now I know it is the harmonic one. I have learnt the minor chord progression now. Before then, I just know the major one. Thanks so much!!
I’m so happy that I found you on U- tube, you’re a God sent; just like the other Commentators, I have learned more with you, than all of my teachers combined; Thank you.
Thanks for clearing that up, as a bass player that's now I work it out with my limited theory knowledge. Seen ppl going back to the major scale for the compare and the progression numbers didn't make sense. God bless.
Sir, We are so blessed and this generation as a whole is blessed to have you as their teacher. You are not just different in the way you break things down to our understanding, but also to the fact that, what others will charge for $30, $50 etc, you literally give us for free. When I heard the help you were offering to third world countries, I became speechless. I don't know if that option is still exist, nonetheless, what you are doing for us is so amazing. Even if one buys any of your products, the money is only some sort of motivation, yeah....we can't really pay you. Please extend my greetings to your wife and especially to our baby boy... chao..!!!
Thanks man very helpful and helped me to solve some confusion about minors. If I understood correctly then if you transpose from major to minor you completely change the vibe of the progression right? to the point some degrees combos wouldn't sound good at all in minor. That got me confused, after trying to transpose to natural minor, which I did correctly but its felt off, especially when 2 diminished was part of it Happy to find your channel - Subbed! Keep it up :)
I watch from Sweden. I would like to come spend just a week with you in the US , I know my playing would certainly never be the same again after a week under your guidance . Let me know the possibilities.
Trying to play chords... I have played the C scale in the circle of fifths with seventh chords and was wondering about the minor chords in the circle of fifths... Until I saw this... This is Great understand of the chords in C scale and if there are majors... there are minors... I think I got it I don't know yet...
So in the natural minor scale the 5 chord is minor (e g b) whereas in the harmonic minor the 5 chord is major (e g# b) got to wrap my brain around that.
This is what helps me to keep these straight. Almost always: (Upper Case = Major Chord, and Lower Case = Minor Chord.) I and IV (Major Key) or i and iv (Minor Key) match in quality. iii and vi (Major Key) or III and VI (Minor Key) are the opposite quality of the tonic. V is always Major/Dominant 7. Diminished chords have 3 options: dim triad/half dim 7th/or fully dim 7th. These can be freely chosen by the player/composer for any place that a dim. chord could go. (Usually vii° (on Ti in major or minor key) or ii° (in a minor key)). I'm a "Classical" theory teacher and I'm REALLY learning a lot from seeing how you process all of this information differently. I've been trying to figure out how popular musicians use theory topics for ages. These lessons are perfect. Thanks very much!
Uve helped me so much I’ve got your online course and it’s great if anyone wants to learn that’s a great place to learn probably even better than having a in person teacher thank you
Is it possible in the key of C major , to expand D Minor chord progression or E minor chord progression instead of the usual relative A minor chord ? Thank you
God bless you Sir Warren! You’re doing amazing and helping some of us so much. Your bountiful reward awaits you. Could you please help me with some intermediate/advanced worship voicings and licks I can use in our services. Thank you
You played the song elshadai with this progression 2515,2516,2514,7b51, And this chord progression(4516, 4516, 4561, 451) still on the same key c sounds like the song but different from yours so if there's any way you pick chord or rules in choosing chord like you pointed out in this video I'll like to know thanks very much Warren.
Outstanding lesson. Thanks a lot! For me the last progression has to be considered in C major ending in A minor simply because the harmony gravitates (in an aural and emotional way) toward C major, and A minor in the end. Really strong and immediate feeling for that.
LOL about 15 minutes into this video I was thinking "Is El-shaddai in d minor or c major?" the A with a C# bass chord and the B-flat chord suggest d harmonic minor. but the G chord suggests C major. and the E chord doesnt belong in either. and then one minute later you played it!
I so much appreciate you Sir for the effort you are putting to get us to another level of music. My question here is in the song Elshadai in the key of D minor why are you using dominant chord for the 4 chord instead of minor following the minor scale
Can I ask.. Do I need to use 88 keys electronic keyboard to improve my skills into advance? Because I only have 61keys electronic keyboard at this time.. Thank you..
Warren, I would want (with your permission) to give you a name from my tribe in Kenya. The name is "Murata" meaning friend. You teach me staff I would have only paid heavily to learn.
So Warren.... if the A minor scale is basically the C major scale starting from the A is it equivalent to an Aeolian scale? So basically an Aeolian scale is also a full on minor scale👀
Question from Thailand. What if i have a song in minor key progression with 3 1 6 7 and i think of it as 1 6 4 5 of a major progression? Should that be wrong? When i am trying to play a song i always think of it in a major progression ( as i am used to major progression). Thank in advance. You explained so well in the video :)
Wah gwan Mr warren, long time I don't touch base but I'm good, just giving thanks to the big man upstairs. Man I like how u clarified the major and minor scale because it can become very tricky, Bwoy this lesson is very articulate , I really appreciate this lesson ,I can see clearly now. Keep up the good work man, God bless👍
Thank you for the insightful video. I have one question you said that in the harmonic minor the 5 becomes major, is that the only chord that you would change? because the raised 7th would change other chords aswell right?
@@PianoLessonwithWarren Thank you, that clears up my confusion appreciate the response. Keep up the good work, you make great videos that help alot of musicians here on youtube and it's greatly appreciated.
Very educational o learning slowly I'm a veteran and i got hurt while jumping out of airplanes and broke my back and i got 2 steel plates in my back so play every day on my key board o really enjoyed your music.
I have a question. So when you play a song using a progression (the verse of a song), how do you find out what progression a song is using (in the chorus) if it sounds different from verse to chorus? Will it change and why would it change if does?. This will help a lot. Thanks!
Remember music is art, there no specific reason why the chorus might have different chords or tonality, it’s just art and what sounds good. You use your ear and understanding of theory to figure the chords just the same.
@@PianoLessonwithWarren for example: the song oceans (hillsong) is in the key of Em. The progression that they do in the verse is 1-3-7-6 (I’m using natural minors scale). In the chorus the first chord changes to a C mayor chord and the chords go C, G, D in the chorus. How is this possible or why is this? So let’s just say i was at a church to help play piano and the band started to play the ocean song and I had never played the song before, so I ask what key is it in and they say Em…then let’s just assume that they say the progression we are using is 1-3-7-6. So then I’m like cool got it. Then comes the chorus which is not 1-3-7-6 anymore obviously bc it’s starts with the Chord C and so on like I explained on top. How do I figure this out in songs that do that? Thanks a lot man, you are awesome for taking time to teach me something, it will go a long way!
@@PianoLessonwithWarren did my last message make sense to what I was originally asking you about? Is there a video of yours that you can refer me to that will help with my question?

Man you are always a succsses. Congratulations. ( Brazil )
Hi, Warren. How about this progressions:
First: I-IV-I
Second: I-IV-vii-I
Third: I-IV-vii-I
Fourth: I-vi-ii-V-IV-vii-I
Fifth: I-vi-ii-V-I
I’m not sure I understand what these progressions are for
Thank You!
Thanks for elaborating on the subject differences

You opened another multiverse of music for me sir🙌🙌🙌🙌🙌
hey Warren thank you again I'm enlightened and advanced
I think I felt too much the run at 17:57 😅😅😅 video on point btw 👌🏾👌🏾
I didn’t understand the difference with the harmonic minor and natural minor. The V chord goes to major!! Thank you, opens many doors for me thanks 🙏
Glad to here the video helped 😊🙏🏾👌🏾
Is it possible in the key of C major , to expand D Minor chord progression or E minor chord progression instead of the usual relative A minor chord ?

Thank you Warren, I didn’t fully understand the application of harmonic minor scale until I watched this video. Well explained. Thanks.
You played the song elshadai with this progression 2515,2516,2514,7b51,
And this chord progression(4516, 4516, 4561, 451) still on the same key c sounds like the song but different from yours so if there's any way you pick chord or rules in choosing chord like you pointed out in this video I'll like to know thanks very much Warren.
Timothy Cletus yes,
I hope I find that in one of your tutorial I'm still digging
Outstanding lesson. Thanks a lot!
For me the last progression has to be considered in C major ending in A minor simply because the harmony gravitates (in an aural and emotional way) toward C major, and A minor in the end. Really strong and immediate feeling for that.

Hello sir how to play a b7 chords
Best of all. My respect Sir..
Sir can u make a tutorial on how to transpose a major song to minor song smoothly at the spot?
Generally you can’t just change a tonality of a song like that, it doesn’t work.
@@PianoLessonwithWarren ohh ok tq sir 😊
I really liked it. Thank you
So Warren.... if the A minor scale is basically the C major scale starting from the A is it equivalent to an Aeolian scale? So basically an Aeolian scale is also a full on minor scale👀
Correct. The Aeolian mode is the same thing as the natural minor scale.

As long as your playing should good it doesn’t matter how you think of the chords/progressions. It only matters on a music theory exam lol.

Greattttt video. Thanks
Hope to meet you someday..
You have answers to my questions. God bless you!
Can you do a tutorial on sus chords and scales to run in a song rather than using passing chords plz
Thank you so much!!! This helped me a ton. God bless!
