Not sure if I had released it yet, but you can now download the Modern Piano Voicing Dictionary, which contains all of these nice and organized in all keys, plus every other tonality I could think of so you have TONS of awesome voicings to learn and use. Including Cluster Chords and Polychords as well. Check out www.neojazzacademy.com/mvd
You do the best job on TH-cam on chord voicing. This and your neo soul series for example. Thank you, this is my favorite part of playing piano. They are also great for composing, as I like to play around using them for my amateur film score composing.
I don't play piano but understand a tiny bit about music theory and thankfully you used the C Maj scale and for the first time it was really easy to follow and understand what someone meant by saying thi g like "the 9th" and so on. Thanks for the video
The Problem i always have is, that these kind of Tutorials always use heavy modified samples of Piano. When you try it yourself on your real piano, it sound way less coll, unless you sit in an empty cathedral^^
Good video but, be careful calling the 5 a “fundamental” tone. As you know, and demonstrate in the video, when left out of your voicings you still get the tonality of the chord you are playing.
@@SimonKnowsNothing the fifth scale tone, in a diatonic scale that is part of your chord, for example, on a C maj7 (C - E - G - B) the five would be the G as the G is the fifth scale tone in the C major scale that makes up this chord.
@@SimonKnowsNothing None :-), meaning in the concept of it being a fundamental tone it isn't. That is what I was getting at in my original comment. In other words in my example above with Cmaj7 if you leave it out and play only the 3 notes you still get a Cmaj7. in the video he was saying the 5 is a fundamental tone to your chord, but it really isn't.
I think that you're missing the point because the video doesn't explain how to create a consistent voicing along a whole predictions I think overall you're running like a headless chicken
Thought I'd add, there is one other voicing that is really easy to remember and move around. Try 1-7-1-3-5. LH 1-7. RH 1-3-5. Drop the 7 to a b7 and the 3 to b3 and you now have a min7. Very simple to remember as well.
This is a PERFECT, MUSIC THEORY and MUSIC PRODUCTION video! Your demonstration of the chords quickly provided a memorable method of remembering the structure of chords period and allows the composer the flexibility of discovering other chord structures without ANY previous knowledge of them! As a music theory educator myself, thanks for creating a great video worthy of being shared without having to reinvent the wheel! I heard of many of the chords before, but now looking to use a specific chord type won’t be as necessary as knowing how to find the most pleasing chord within any given scenario! Thanks again and congratulations! 🎉😎⛽️🌋💎🧨☀️🏆🎯✈️

I like that chord that is built up in fifths, LH and RH set apart by a second: C,G,D,E,B,F#. It's a cousin of the m11 chord of similar structure: C,G,D,Eb,Bb,F. Very good lesson, BTW!
Having just starting really improvising piano I’m happy to know I was getting these solo voicings down before I saw your vid and it makes me even happier to have to ability to learn more I find learning jazz piano to be so calming and these videos add to that so thank you 🙏
Outstanding tutorial! Thanks a lot. May I ask which virtual piano you’re using to show the keys? And does it show the numbers or you typed it on the top of it? It would be helpful to use that as a learning tool.
Thank you so much… v interesting… sorry to ask a dumb question… what about the melody? If we have to use a finger for the melody, what should we do to include the chord voicing? It’s kinda tough to use all 5 fingers on the RH so something simplified would be great but how pls? Thx so much again😊
Hi Kellman, I’ve found that in your playlist of “music production” there is an unrelated video about a car, probably by mistake. I hope you check it out. Anyway, thank you for making good lessons!
Noah, your vids are always informative. Thanks for posting! How did you go about getting all two-handed rootless voicings "under your fingers" so they were second nature? Did you do any particular drills or did you just plunk down each isolated chord voicing and memorize it? Because, as you know, smooth comping relies on the relation of one voicing to every other voicing. So, sometimes I'll have a nice voicing for one chord and then have to think a bit of how to move to the next chord smoothly and effortlessly. For some reason, it takes me longer to see something like a B9#11 than, say, a G9#11. I know that for many musicians, some keys are harder than others. Did you ever have any particular difficulty voicing in different keys?
Learn the major scale shapes in all 12 keys and remember what scale degrees the notes in the voicings are. Then play one voicing over and over in all the keys
Thanks for explaining this - I always wondered why things were spelled different ways - like b5 versus #11...so, I know there is "quartal" and "quintal" harmony...I get that. Even though fourths can be thought of as just inversions as the same notes in fifths ...so, why can't I find any info on sextile harmony, which are of course just thirds in different inversions? If there is some better term I should search under please let me know - I really like the mysterious ambiguous quality of sixths.
Thank you for the informative video, Noah! I If I were to voice the guide tones in the left hand (ie. a 65 - 42 bass pattern) what extensions would you voice in the right hand?
A really good treatment, I still have the question of how to organise and muscle memory these complex chords into my instant 'bag'? Any help would be appreciated.
Hey Noah I was wondering if you could check out Jason Tyson on TH-cam, he has a unique sound, my question is what harmony does he use to get that sound
@@NoahKellman Thank you Noah! I am really look forwards towards it! ( I really wonder how he makes his melodies sound really unique and very like pentatonic in a way )

Brilliant, thx . Finally a simple and crystal clear explanation here 😊
I'm hoping we get these for minor, dominant and dim too!!
Working on it!!
Smart Man Piyu Topas.. You clutch Noah.. Thnx
@@NoahKellman THANK YOU WE NEED THESE!!!
Woohoo🎉
Released the one for minor, btw!
That was a very professional chord!
Great video! Can you please make one this this for all chord types?
This is important to comprehension.
The Problem i always have is, that these kind of Tutorials always use heavy modified samples of Piano. When you try it yourself on your real piano, it sound way less coll, unless you sit in an empty cathedral^^
some voicings here are dependent on larger hands.
Awesome Noah. Can you post that link you talked about at the end? The one about matching scales with chords
Thanks
Hey Danny, yeah that's the video that should show up in the bottom left of the video!

What is the 5?

Would be nice to get these beautiful voicings on a pdf
Merci ! Très bien fait !🥸
to what standard is your piano tuned?
How do you remember all the notes in all 12 keys?
write them down
Learn the major scale shapes in all 12 keys and remember what scale degrees the notes in the voicings are. Then play one voicing over and over in all the keys
Now I realize why I like so much Lyle Mays playing. He used to apply this kind of open cords a lot (R.I.P)
Incredibly helpful video! What a great reference tool to always revisit and make use of!
So glad you found it helpful! Yeah hopefully you’ll be able to refer back in the future 💪
Thank you a lot! 🙏🏽
Appreciate you, Noah
The #11 (F#) is from the C Lydian scale. In jazz when you see a Major7 chord it often implies the C Lydian scale
Thanks for explaining this - I always wondered why things were spelled different ways - like b5 versus #11...so, I know there is "quartal" and "quintal" harmony...I get that.

Thank you Charles!
I like"The First Noel" around 10:50 :) thx this vid is just what I'm needing rt now!
noah bless u
Thank you 🙏🙏
All of your videos are simply awesome! Thank-you Noah... Peace & Love from India.
Thank you sir. I have heard about these concepts but it's alot easier seeing you at the keyboard using C Maj
Is your piano tuned to pythagorean tuning? It sounds beatiful!
❤❤thank you so much!!! It’s lot of helps to me~~~ 😊😊😊😊
Great lesson! Thank you!👏🏼👏🏼
Fantastic stuff!! All for free. Thanks Noah
thanks a lot!
Thank you 🙏🏻 Wonderful class
excellent thx Noah :)
Some beautiful sounding voicings!
Hella informative as Always
A really good treatment, I still have the question of how to organise and muscle memory these complex chords into my instant 'bag'? Any help would be appreciated.
Hey Steve- yes search Noah Kellman master a voicing in all keys or voicing mastery I think you should find some useful videos
#11 is consistent with Lydian mode. Are you *sure* there's only one "major" tonality?
Sure Lydian, Lydian Augmented, all their own tonalities
My main man - how goes it so
So wonderful voicings. Thanks, Noah! 🤓👌😎🥰
Sure thing, Dávid
Great video!
Perfect!
Amazing lesson
Awesome
Any tips if I’m not able to reach a tenth with my left hand?
Yep, just bounce your hand, or “roll” the tenth. I do that regularly too!
My hands are too small :( I can't play 10th
That’s okay- you can just “roll” it, or jump your hand a bit. I do that too!
Tysm for this! Well done.
My pleasure glad you liked it!
Hey Noah I was wondering if you could check out Jason Tyson on TH-cam, he has a unique sound, my question is what harmony does he use to get that sound
Hey Jaime yes will check him out!
@@NoahKellman Thank you Noah! I am really look forwards towards it! ( I really wonder how he makes his melodies sound really unique and very like pentatonic in a way )
Where can I hear you play?
Finally have a single on Spotify with a second coming out on January 6th!
Can we have a minor version please?
Released!
