here for the keyboard
Native Instruments 88key MK2
Same. Love that keyboard
@@justsaybobbydamn, I have the black one. I bought mine before they released the white one. Dayuuuuuum, I wish now I waited. 😢
Ice keys💎💎💎
@@sigma_zthat black one sounds sick to
The "I get so lonely" chord turn around used to always confuse my brain, thanks for doing this!!!
Glad i could shed some light on this bro!
Such a beautiful keyboard! 😍 For the purpose of learning chords, I do feel it's easier for viewers to watch demos from a regular keyboard as we all have some degree of visual memory to help us find our way.
It is indeed! And thanks for the feedback! I hear you!
@@stefanguynah frfr your keyboard clean asf never seen one all white 2 clean though 🎉🎉🎉🎉
@@osarigalitros2449 Both atre true tho, the keyboard IS clean af, but black keys would be welcome for visual feedback
You're right but it just made me realize I always played the keyboard by 2 and 3 instead of black and white.
@@b.e.r.nnetwork8251 likewise, the colours are not that relevant to me when the shapes are completely different. But I can see from a tutorial standpoint, visually why they'd be relevant. They can almost blend into one another from the top down view on this keyboard. Back to black and white keys 🥲
This board is absolutely insane. That’s clean‼️‼️. I’d still learn on my traditional, but for a live set or something I need that!!
I was like "this seems like a chill video to start my day with.. some nice piano" but then bro started talking and it just blew the piano out of the water in terms of chill vibes.
Haha, much love man! 🙏🏾
Thanks, wow, all my life I fell in love with those three songs, because of their chord progressions, not knowing they can be learned. You are the best, you’ve earned my follow. I shall learn now, hopefully I won’t give up midway through like I usually do with anything especially when I’m not hitting the right notes
When you hit that Dmaj 9 I immediately thought of Anita Baker’s “Giving You The Best That I Got.” Love that chord!
Gotta love the circle of 4ths !
Maaaan! Quality upload as always! Thanks for this man
Thank you brother!!
Thank you so much Stefan! I'll admit, I used to not understand your videos thinking I was too dumb, but after learning basic music theory, things are slowly trying to click! Hope to see more of your videos especially your beatmaking process. Thank you as always and hope you are doing well.
Hey man, love this. Glad it's started to make sense and proving more helpful now! Have you seen my last beat making video? th-cam.com/video/Utg6SFMkKlY/w-d-xo.html
Yoh!! Loving these sounds...thank you for breaking down the chord progressions brother 💪🏾💪🏾💰👊🏾
Glad to hear brother!! Much love!
Great video THANKS !!!!! It's exactly what I'm looking for the learning. Thanks
i know chord progressions cant be copywritten but these are so iconic i feel like a criminal playing them
Hahaha yeah I feel you!
Tell ed Sheeran that lol, he got sued but won the case I think
Beautiful! Thank you for this video ❤
Thanks Debra and you're welcome!
There a great deal of 6-5-1 going in in those last two minor progressions as well.
😊Anita Baker and MANY have used that turn around on ( What Ever It Takes) long before Jimmy/Terry,
Yet,I thank you for a amazing job teaching the concept
Thank you so much stephan guy 😂. I felt like a professional after learning these progressions. ♥️😭
Amazing!! thank you!!
the keyboard makes the chords sound more beautiful😍😍
Excellent video. Voicings make all the difference.
Thank you and 100%!
Learning the I get so lonely progression really fueled my optimism in learning to actually play. Thank you for being the push I needed to put my head down and learn this instrument properly.
Love this!!
Quite fascinating!
Good to see you back
Thanks brother!
such beautiful chords bro I needed this
Glad I could share this with you bro!
This keyboard is so aesthetically pleasing
Let’s get it!!So many creative ways to approach the 2/5/1. Thanks fam
100% fam, hope you learnt so new ones in this vid!
@@stefanguy yes I did. Learning when to comply with the “rules” and essentials vs when and how to do me 💯👌🏾
No matter how much time has passed. When I get the notification I watch your videos 😌
Thanks love bro! Hope you find this one helpful 🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾
Same here!
Likewise, my favorite teacher
Me 2 !!
Same.
These chords sweet me boi!!! Gwan Stef!! 🔥🔥🔥
Making me wanna jump on my keys lol
Bless!!! 🎹💙🖖🏾
Thank you bro and do it haha!
Sounds so smooth and 🔥
That’s a gorgeous keyboard
You sparked an entire practice session for me lol. For a while I’ve been looking for a way to evolve as a good church musician. The skills and voicings this video teaches may just be the way.
Love this bro! Glad i could spark a practice sesh, that’s what it’s all about 🙌🏾
thank you so much
So happy I found your channel. Thanks so much. The
🙏🏾 Likewise!

amazing
2.22 A7#5b9
Man, when Jam and Lewis sweated out the details, they won’t messing around! Thanks Stefan! 😳👍🏽
They really weren't!
Those turn around chords were actually “big” Jim Wright. Rip
Thank you....
yess
4:02 Teddy Riley had the best R&B turn around of all time on Remember The Time.
Nice🔥💪🏿
Thanks man!
you could think of that Gmin7b5/Db as an A7#5 in first inversion.
Let's go!
🙌🏾
Nice keybed bro...is that custom from native instrument? Or by your self?
bless up stef!
Much love brother 🙏🏾
i sometimes watched ur videos only for ur beautifully chord progression projects 😅
Thank youuuu! 🙏🏾
I just wanna hear you play the piano for like 3 hrs straight while i kickback and smoke and have a drink😂😂😂
Hahaha, I may have to do this at some point!
The keyboard 😍🤗
thank you so much stefan ! what is this piano?
that gmin7 b5 over db could just be seen as a Bbmin6/Db chord
That piano looks 😮💨
What controller keyboard is that?....I want one.
🔥🔥
Thank you bro!
You won't catch a lawsuit, it's a chord progression. Chords are always fair game.
lol Janet Jackson I guess so lonely lol brother, we’ve been playing these chord progressions in church forever nice clip
4:06 Bro got a lil too excited 💀 (I did too)
LOL
🔥🔥🔥🔥
Thank you brother!
that first chord reminded me of the samurai champloo intro
Where u get that keyboard from
2:12 id say it’s functioning like an A7b9b13, just doesn’t have the root…but has all the notes otherwise
Basically, it’s a bunch of ii - V - I with saucy voicings.
What piano is this? Thanks for the video also!! 🎉
Hey it’s the komplete kontrol S49 MK2 limited edition vapor grey by native instruments and you’re welcome!!
Stealing some of these chords bro! 🔥🤘🏾
Thanks for the great video!What komplete sound is this?
Thanks Joel! The first sound is from the new Rhodes V8 VST sguy.co/rhodes and the second is from U-he’s Zebra 2
@@stefanguy appreciate it brother
where can i get this preset in a vst? i need that exact sound
❤
8:01 I heard that!
😄 such a simple but great line!
Question: Why is Dmin9 the 2nd in the chord progression when we're playing in Dmin? Shouldn't it be the 1st since its the first note in the scale of Dmin?
How i can get this piano type on fl stuido?
Great Video!!! Maybe I didn't pay attantion, but - I think that the 2nd and 3rd progressions are actually the same? I - V(iii) - iii - ii - V - I
Isn't it?
Is this keyboard how PrettySimpleMusic is doing his onscreen trick under his hands? I could easilty chroma this effect with this keyboard.
Hey brother. I'm not sure but I'd love to be able to do that. If you know how it could be achieved with this keyboard I'd love to get in touch. By the way, just subscribed!
Amazing you can play all those jazz chords on a keyboard without sharps or flats 😉
😂
Awesome please consider going to a traditional board easier to see
Thanks man, and for sure, I've moved back to such a keyboard!
⚘️ God Is With Me ❤
Bro!!! Can you just make shorts playing famous chords every week?
🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
Thanks for the suggestion bro, I had a similar idea and this is a bit of confrontation 🙏🏾
@@stefanguy yes!!! I can go down in TH-cam history as the man who confirmed Stefan Guy create more fire! 😂
😂😂😂 for sure bro 💪🏾💪🏾💪🏾
it is a Gdim 7 at 2:17?
albino keyboard°!
0:00 break it down x3
4:08
Which keyboard is this? Do you have a link where I can get it from? I don’t care of its functionality I just want it for its look.
It's the Komplete Kontrol S61 MK2 Vapor Grey 25th Anniversary Limited Edition by Native Instruments - unfortunately it's no longer on sale.
Gm7b5/Db = Bbm6/Db
Hi Stefan, I bought the MIDI files but what number is the chord progression of this video ?
Awesome! Thank you. The pack came out before this video so they’re not in the pack but i do actually have midi files for them. Drop me an email at stefanguy.com/contact and I’ll get them to you by tomorrow.
Thank you. @@stefanguy
I sent an email. Thanks! @@stefanguy
I didn’t know Native Instruments made keyboards 🔥
Yep!
What keyboard be that?
We'll need lighted key... I love to observe and play
did anyone else think of the dude singing FACE when he played the first chord?
ngl i only clicked the vid because of that FANCY AHH PIANOH
Haha, you're not alone!
What midi keyboard do you use? It is very minimalist.
this looks like white version of native instruments
I need private lessons
That first chord progression sounds like I get Lonely by Janet Jackson
So the chords in the 2-5-1 progressions do not have to be in the key of D necessarily?
Nope, the 2 and the 5 are in the key of the 1. So say I’m in the key of C. And I want to do a 2-5-1 to get to F, F being the 1 - I’d play the 2 from the key of Fmajor (Gm) and the 5 from Fmajor (C) and land on the 1 (F)… hope that makes sense - check out this video i made on it here: th-cam.com/video/0T4sbrtFTMk/w-d-xo.html
@@stefanguy Thanks for the elaborate response!
hello, i've been dabbling with music for a long time but this side is still a mystery to me
"My Boo - Key: F# minor
VI - V - i - vii - iii" could anyone help explain what this the roman numerals represent?
So each major or minor key has 7 notes (or scale degrees, 1-7). We can number these notes 1-7 and subsequently each chord derived from that note. Now each chord in the key can be represented by a number. We do this so playing and learning chord progressions are not key dependent.
How to read the roman numbers -
Uppercase letters = a major chord, i.e C Major, lowercase letters = minor chord, i.e C Minor.
So a ii - V - I in the key of Cmajor would be Dm - Gmaj - Cmaj.
In the key of A major that same progressions would he Bm - Emaj - Amaj
Hope this makes sense. They are other symbols to denote things like diminished and augmented chords but those are the basics.
@@stefanguy this actually helps a ton man thank you - this explains why i always felt basically locked to whatever key i would mess around with for a beat. im gonna screenshot your reply for when i pick back up the keys, hopefully soon :D
What Keyboard is that?
Is that an all white NI Kontrol S Series midi keyboard?
Indeed - It's the Komplete Kontrol S61 MK2 Vapor Grey 25th Anniversary Limited Edition
@@stefanguy I was ready to send mine back... but they don't have an all white model in the MK3 line. If they make it, I'll get a white S88!
Reminds me of Persona
What kind of keyboard is that?
It’s a MIDI controller by Native Instruments called Komplete Kontrol MK2 (mark 2).. this one is a limited edition version and is why it is all white. They’ve also just announced the MK3
What keyboard is this?
Hey it's the Komplete Kontrol S61, it's a no longer available all white limited edition version "vapor grey".
@@stefanguy thanks. What's the sound being generated from?
white keys??? beautiful keyboard
