If you play a major triad from the 6th scale degree of the chord you are trying to play in your right hand with the tritone in your left it will give you a Dominant 7 (b9) chord with an added 13th in there. For Example: Eb Dominant b9 chord would be Left Hand: Eb Db Right Hand: C Major Traid (C E G)
Sean I found out about your website totally by divine appointment not by chance I have been more than blessed by your masterful explanation about the theory of these “impossible “ chord progressions. Love the site glad I’m a member don’t ever stop!
How is the rootless voicing different from a secondary leading tone chord of the target chord? I.e. why isn't the 7b9 not an e dim 7 (vii dim 7 of F Major)?
You could see it that way, the jazz explanation. This channel gives the perspective of how a gospel musicians looks at it, the Edim7 can be a 7b9 for many different roots and we need that flexibility
Great video..God bless u..i m living in Haiti....Can u transcribe and give some lesson on that video it s about 1:05 Mn...MIKE BEREAL REHARMONIZES HALELUJIAH BY PLANET SHAKERS ON ESATER SUNDAY TOO MUCH..please..thx.
Doc!!! Awesome. This is what I am thinking: the same dim7 tetrad goes with 4 different roots to form a 7b9. C7b9 would be Edim7/C Eb7b9 would be Edim7/Eb F#7b9 would be Edim7/F# A7b9 would be Edim7/A This reduces the number of bass note to tritones we need to memorize.
yes, great ideas as usual!!!! and you're right it would reduce having 12 separate (A Merville teaches it this way as well)... *although they'd still need the 12 different 1's they're approaching from the 7b9, it still lessens the number of 7b9 to memorize overall!!!!
Rob Dorn no that’s different, I changed the sound during the Byron Cage song to Kontakt MKS, one of my go to sounds which I believe is a synth + EP + a smidgen of the TKS bell + brass
@@SeanWilsonPiano The End, most definitely. It's amazing how you play these type of voicings Sean. I can literally listen to this all day and be happy...
@@SeanWilsonPiano it didn't fit.. The thing is this.. I tried creating a quick fix as opposed to learning them all on 12 keys.. So i used a drop 2 voicing of dim7 off the 4th scale i want to go to or drop 2 dim7 off the b7 of circle of 5th... I don't know if you understand... Every other explanation and examples you gave was consistent except that one.. I thought it should be Ab+D+F+B.. In that order..
Oh I get what you’re saying. Well a couple things. Sometimes the chord in the left hand starts on the 3rd from the root and other times I started from the 7th. In my example at 11:03 I started from the 7th and built from there, whereas you are starting from the third. The reason it doesn’t matter in the bigger picture is because diminished chords are symmetrical so we are playing versions on the same chord *i did realize at the conclusion of my vid that I could’ve made that clearer
Yes, but the context they are used and when to play them as passing was more of the focus. But yes I could’ve introduced them as simply drop 2 diminished 7th chords in 2nd inv
Sean Wilson Piano ahh cool gud vibes bro and btw I noticed for “Glory to ur name” you sharpened the diminished 7 and played a B.... LH: G RH: Db E “B” instead of Bb which would make the dim 7th..Why??
Raynold Gustave ohhhh, gotcha, that was just me catching myself quickly to move to the Abmin with the Bb on top, I didn’t want to arrive they’re too early, so it was really done just to approach that Bb

Boss you’re left handed like myself, awesome, power to the left ✋🏾
You’re a leftie? That’s cool doc!!!
✊🏾
Misheck Mutantabowa are you left handed?

master
6 months with you changed my music life completely
love from Tanzania
Wow man thanks!
Hands down the best instruction of tritone use i've seen. Thanks
Thanks man!
That is the best analysis of that chord I've seen on TH-cam. Tight chain on the end, too!
Yeah man!! Appreciate that!
Sean I found out about your website totally by divine appointment not by chance I have been more than blessed by your masterful explanation about the theory of these “impossible “ chord progressions. Love the site glad I’m a member don’t ever stop!
Appreciate it man, yeah we make things complicated but the reality is music is enjoyable and understandable
That was beautiful sounding chord. I’ve heard it but never knew it. Thank you!
Javaad Day...he’s so flavorful with his note choices. Thanks, Sean!
you know it man!
Great video! Very informative, I’m definitely adding this to my library
Really liked the white board! Make everything very understandable!
Thanks bro 🔥🎊🎉
Thanks for the whiteboard Sean. I’m even appreciating the xmas colors. Most of all, thanks for the breakdown.
Man, I’m trying to figure out why all my markers are green and red lol... gonna have to go to Walmart instead
This helped. Thanks for helping me understand the tritones
No problem man!!
thank you for this video Sean
@sean you are a blessing bro🙌🏽
Thanks man!
You went all out 😀...Thanks brooo!
The ending...😰 what a monster 🔥
Another amazing lesson Sean. Thank you.
Appreciate it man!
Thank You for Everything ❤
Thanks for watching doc!
That was fire!
I really like it sir... Bless you
you have a tough ear Sean..may the Lord continue to reveal Himself more and more through u
Boikanyo Kgolo appreciate it man
Nice thanks man
Sean can you make a tutoria secrect place mike brown
Love this! Love your channel! Your title picture used a B instead of a b for flat. Just a heads up.

Great lesson as always
Yeah doc!
Paz ,admiro muito seus acordes ,gostaria muito de aprender essas harmonias
Qual programa ou app, que você usa pra acompanhar.....app usado no tablet
esse fundo de percussion, qual o nome
Great video..God bless u..i m living in Haiti....Can u transcribe and give some lesson on that video it s about 1:05 Mn...MIKE BEREAL REHARMONIZES HALELUJIAH BY PLANET SHAKERS ON ESATER SUNDAY TOO MUCH..please..thx.
Wow am in class again lol 🙏😌
Doc!!!
Awesome.
This is what I am thinking: the same dim7 tetrad goes with 4 different roots to form a 7b9.
C7b9 would be Edim7/C
Eb7b9 would be Edim7/Eb
F#7b9 would be Edim7/F#
A7b9 would be Edim7/A
This reduces the number of bass note to tritones we need to memorize.
yes, great ideas as usual!!!! and you're right it would reduce having 12 separate (A Merville teaches it this way as well)... *although they'd still need the 12 different 1's they're approaching from the 7b9, it still lessens the number of 7b9 to memorize overall!!!!
What kind of keyboard do you have
Thanks sir😢😢😢
Is that the bluebird sl?
did u use two different voicings for the one for the B and C
which part of the song video? can you time stamp it for me?
@@SeanWilsonPiano 7:16 & 11:25 or is it just different inversions ?
Rho's life oh ok I see where you’re at. They’re the same voicing but the one in C is a half step up
@@SeanWilsonPiano ok thanks think I was mixing up the concept thanks tho..
bro I can see you're using loops by cdub..might be wrong tho ..if so, whats the name of that particular loop? thank you
Loops by C DUB?
Yep
Wow
where can i get the click tracks you are using?
CDub Loops
@@SeanWilsonPiano Thanks man
How did you get your piano to sound so nice in your videos?
the piano sound is keyscape, the other sound was MKS Ep... honestly I’m not doing any edits, eq, I just make sure things aren’t clipping
Sean Wilson Piano is that a layer of keyscape/mks ep at 15:33?
Rob Dorn no that’s different, I changed the sound during the Byron Cage song to Kontakt MKS, one of my go to sounds which I believe is a synth + EP + a smidgen of the TKS bell + brass
Sean Wilson Piano thank you sir. Trying to replicate that on a motif xs
Sean - is there an equal or similar sound on the MODX?
That second voicing is dangerous. It can vaporize anything...
at the beginning? or end?
@@SeanWilsonPiano The End, most definitely. It's amazing how you play these type of voicings Sean. I can literally listen to this all day and be happy...
Please what sounds are you using at the ending? I hear synths and piano EP sounds.
Hello Sean.. I think I have a problem @11:03 that chord
j. Israel it’s a tad unconventional and weird right?

I think the system you are using definitely works as a fix as well, and shows that you guys are really looking at these finer details 🎊🎉👌
@@SeanWilsonPiano yes sir..
Wosh
Isn’t all this diminished 7 drop 2s???
Yes, but the context they are used and when to play them as passing was more of the focus. But yes I could’ve introduced them as simply drop 2 diminished 7th chords in 2nd inv

Raynold Gustave what min:sec was that?
Sean Wilson Piano 14:50
Raynold Gustave ohhhh, gotcha, that was just me catching myself quickly to move to the Abmin with the Bb on top, I didn’t want to arrive they’re too early, so it was really done just to approach that Bb
Please Let me Go
Dangerous😀
why are you calling it Ab for the 6th in way maker when if we are in E the 6th should be G#m idk thanks!
