Learning inversions was/is a fairly tedious rudiment for me, but wowzers does it ever unlock the keyboard to a much larger range and a much larger "expressive catalog," if I can put it that way.
This is so fucking hard. Imagine knowing all the position in all the scales. To be a great jazz musician, the mathimatical part of it is almost as important as the musical. I think all great jazz cats have that in common.
It just takes practice. Spend time practicing in each key each day and it becomes muscle memory. I don't mean to downplay it at all. It's still hard, but I believe it's doable for anyone who truly desires to get better at the piano
I agree completely. My analytical brain wants to know the formulas, but after having dedicated some hours to practicing, my muscle memory is like "hold my beer..."
I'd say do this: 1. Learn the concepts well. 2. Get used to playing and digest all the scales and chords in different keys. 3. Do it a bit differently sometimes and transpose. After that, just try. Makes something really short like this, but "come up" with your own voicings and chords, while applying these same basic concepts. Try different shapes and chords until it sounds as good as you can make it!
When finding harmonic ideas, I think of giving each voice a home in the next chord. Really use your ears combined with everything you know about extensions, search, and be brave... Don't be afraid to sing along, it will help you find your inner voice.
The first chord is also d minor 9. They're labeling things fine, the basic pattern is the 2-5-1, and then they give you the specific names of the g and db chords because they're a little more involved.
@@charliecampbell6851 Sure, it's a 2-5-1, and you're basically arguing that a Imaj7 and I6/9 are functionally equivalent, so it doesn't matter what you call it. I understand that, but to me there's an important difference of emotional color between the two chords. As soon as he played it, my ear said it wasn't a Maj7 before I even looked at his hands or the notation. For players watching this who are still training their ears or learning chord formation, I think it's important to be precise.
I wish I had more theory behind me. I can play, and I play really well. But it’s all ear. I wish I knew the theory behind it all. I’m Einstein without knowing math. Weird.
That tritone was so clean🥰 love having both when ending on the one.
I love watching content I don't understand yet
That's a great attitude right there: not YET :)
Keep going
Another banger
Bby calm down, calm down .....
Sounds so classy and cosmopolitan.
That piano sounds amazing
When he started modulating the m7 inversions pattern🫠
Practice + decades of playing jazz with the best in the biz
Beautiful and very clear!!!
Always original fresh and crunchy ideas
Sounds So full and rich!
Sooo good, some of my favorite sounds

Wow, you got's some chops.
I'm still a Vegan. But practicing hard. See you in a couple years.
That’s so good
Reminds me of the ending of many episodes of Dr. Katz
Great sound, must learn.
So spicy this sub 5 Db(9 #11)❤ i love it
What "sub 5" means?
@@BORN753 tritone substitution, with 5 (or V) the chord that’s being subbed
@@skoto8219 Oh, right, thanks! The lack of a roman numeral tricked me into thinking it was about the 5th degree of a scale.

Do RH isolated first. Practice it slow w/ metronome. For G7alt voicing, realise that it is just the Dm7 second inv. but down a half step.

@@caswelljohnstone200 yes very true. And once your muscle memory has learned something, its just a matter of time before youve forgot the theory of it
You guys are the best
grand master
So nice ❤
Cool...........
Such good videos
❤
I really love these lessons. How can I learn to come up with things like this by myself? Build those habits?
I'd say do this:
1. Learn the concepts well.
2. Get used to playing and digest all the scales and chords in different keys.
3. Do it a bit differently sometimes and transpose.

Thank you guys :)
Awesome
What you did on the ii chord was a drop 2.
I just knew that said "black" 😂😂
That's not a Cmaj7 at the 0:09 mark; that's a C6/9! If you're going to be making instructional videos, please at least label things correctly!

@@dereknolin5986 yeah. You didn't care that he didn't label the first chord as min9 though. Just be consistent
@@charliecampbell6851 I never said it was an exhaustive list.
Thanks can you share the full video HERE for free PLEASE
How can the camera rotate at the same time with your hands? What is the name of this camera please?
Show how to block cords please?

You play so quickly can’t see the fingering can you slow down a bit?
