Once you understand this chord structure, your piano playing will never be the same. It's used commonly in both Jazz and Neo Soul, but you'll really hear it used in an absolutely gorgeous way in modern Neo Soul-Inspired tracks that cross genres as well. A really important part of this sound is the dim(maj7) chord, i.e. a diminished triad with a major 7. The structure comes down to being built like a block chord, but with a major 7 instead of a 6. Use this over any melody or chord progression for a modern sound. Enjoy this jazz and Neo Soul piano tutorial with Noah Kellman.

this was actually the most helpful video on diminished chords i have ever seen
Really glad it helped!
A great song to practice this on is Memories Of You.
The first 2 measures have the chords Eb Edim Fm7 F#dim
Great job! Important stuff to know for enhancing your piano playing!! Love it!!
Amazing videos, absolutely love the diminished sound and learning about the harmony from you
Incredible! I feel like after these videos I always find so much more to learn!
Those are really great tips and you teach well, Noah!
Awesome, man! I swear my playing is taken to the next level every time I watch one of your videos. Thank you!
Hey Jemetris, you're welcome! Thanks for the kind comment. Glad to hear it's all helping you out!
Now I understand more about jazzy chords! Thank you Noah! 😊 Hope you're keeping well, greetings from Peru 🇵🇪 😃 🙌🏼
thank you! this tutorial help me understand dim and min7 really beautiful and pleasing to the ear
This channel is insanely good
It is great! If you could show us how to apply this technique on a tune, let us know how it sounds with and without this technique, that would be perfect.
Excellent video. Thank you , Noah.
Great stuff, Noah. Thanks!
Thanks Noah!
WOW - thanks Noah- love that right hand arpeggio thats super SWEET sound👍 gotta get onto piano right now!!
Thanks Noah!
It was very clear 👌
nice, at the moment I am looking into the Barry Harris method and using diminished chords with "borrowed" notes is so full of potential. thanks again!
Of course!!
Wow this is awesome Noah, I hear Bill Evans do this all the time.
This is wonderful. Thank you
It really helps so much the way break down these lessons. I am a big fan. In fact I went back and started from your earliest videos. In one of your very interesting videos: "Hand Independence Exercises for Jazz Piano" when I started practicing along I realized your piano was tuned down half step. Your C corresponds to B on my piano, which somewhat threw me off for a little bit. Otherwise that serie of exercises is great. Thanks for your work.
You are awesome! Thanks man
That was beautiful.
You're the boss man🙏🏻❤️
Beautiful one
thanks allot for you dedication and virtuosity
Great sound !,
Thank God for direction to this channel, you're amazing.
Hey, you're welcome Enobong! Thanks for the comment

Great. Thank you
One of best I've seen
Noah you're my best tutor 👍🏽👍🏽
Very helpful.
thanks NOAH
Thank you sir.
The expert is back 🔥 loved it!
Thanks, Loris!!
Love this sound! ~0:13 almost has a Bill Evans / Someday My Prince flavor to it. I think I heard some drop two voicings in there as well. ;)
Thanks Billy! Yeah man, good ears.
@@NoahKellman First two chords of When I Fall In Love ;)
@@JarrettBrad aaaahhhhh
Nice lesson Sir , thank you . GD
Thank u very much
Great advice for dim voicings.
Beautiful intro! I have to explore these sounds
Thanks, Omar! Yeah they're fun definitely try adding them into your playing.
awesome
Thank you💫😃☀️💫❤️☀️
You're welcome!!
awesome! 🌠🎼🎹
Glad you enjoyed it!
Great player and teacher..thank you
You try to give good technique and not string students along
with trickery..this is why I said thanks..Doc
James
I admire and envy your amazing talent.
Thanks!!
I think of diminished chords as a stack of equal minor third intervals. Each higher note in the chord is a minor third.
Geez you are a beast! 😂 first time listening and I was so blown away and amazed I just started laughing
youre annoyingly good. Mustve taken literal trips to hell and back. kudos on your beautiful fingers and expressions
Thanks, Elian! Really appreciate it.
@@NoahKellman Z
Really really nice its Masterfillz from Nigeria
First four chords “Memories of You”? Thanks Noah for all you do
Sure thing appreciate the comment!
Or Gershwins Liza
Liza is another great one. How about “Imagination “
awesomegood♡
Viva la música
Any recommendations on the best books for sight reading?
I definitely liked the video, but it is more of an exercise for practicing diminished chords. I am looking for something that the title refers to, "the right way to USE diminished chords." Does Noah have a video that discusses his approach to reharmonizing with diminished chords or how to use on passing tones?
your way of teaching is so clear! . I'm a beginner but I still understand. Thank you !!!! A question, . . What program do you use to display the writing on the screen? . I'm using midi and that would help me familiarize myself with the writing.....Thank you from Argentina.....
Muito bom
Hi! I would like an explanation of the G# dim going to FMaj.
I mean, the diminished chord could be considered an X7 without the root. Any note of the diminished tetrad being lowered by half a step will be the tonic of this X7. Therefore, F#dim going to GMaj or Minor can be understood as a V7/I progression, where F#dim could be a D7b9. But what about G#dim going to FMaj or Minor? Interrupted cadence perhaps? Thanks.
Wow that just gave me a whole new way of thinking when I solo
Hello, Noah Kellman from Nigeria. I love your movement. Can you please drop links to your paid piano courses. I really want to learn from you.
Another question : you showed us a B voicing for the left hand (bb7th at the bottom), would you also use an A voicing (b3 b6 bb7 root) ?
Can you use 9th, 11th on diminished chords ? If so, how would you voice them (both open and single handed rootless) ? I also heard some people use Maj7 too.
great reharmonize
nice impro bro
Would be interested to hear your take on Barry Harris's 6th Diminished methodology!
Harris just used shearing closed voicings albeit he was excellent at it
Hello from Indonesia ✌🇮🇩🎵🎶💕🙏🥂
Tasty!
I think that Bill Evans is smiling to hear that course...
Noah ..some links are down .interested in your teaching style
Hi Noah (hope you answer my quick question) but I've transcribed and have been working on an art tatum lick and i have been bringing the metronome up slowly for like 4 months to the original tempo when i play it sometimes i get it right and other times i mess it up why isn't "in my fingers yet" if you get what i mean
Hey Michael, good question. It really depends on a few things. It's possible that the lick is very difficult technically, so it'll take time to really get it under your fingers. However, there's also a good chance that you're not getting it because it's not really in your ear. I'm actually releasing a video within the next couple weeks about transcription and lick integration, so stay tuned! It will teach you some great strategies for really getting a lick "under your fingers" so to speak.
What is the software you're using for displaying the chords you're playing please?
I'm using Chordie, awesome app!
xup Noah
can u pls dedicate a video to d first 26 secs. ?
it s proper for soundcheck/starter/showoff 😄 d anointing s a lot on u
Was that Armando's Rhumba?
Please do a tutorial on how to play like Nat King Cole!
That'd be fun! I'll keep that in mind for the future.
@@NoahKellman Thank you! He's sounds incredible while also being so simple, he's definitely worth looking into.
1:12 Only a few?... Or how about only three Dim7 chords, per se?... Notes of diminished 7th chords are evenly spaced, which means there are 4 diminished harmonies that are combined into a single chord. Since an octave only has 12 notes total and *4 notes of Dim7 chord represents 4 different dimimished chords (inverted),* aren't there only a total of 3 diminished 7th chords on the piano?...
Yes! Correct! There are really only 3 Diminished chords/scales.
They repeat every third note being an inversion of the first chord.
You can also think of Diminished chords as Dominant 7b9 chords without roots.
For diminished chords, play the Diminished scale; if you see them as Dominant 7b9 chords, then play the Symmetrical Dominant scale (it has many names) which is half step-whole step (1-b9-#9-3-b5-5-6-b7).
Amazing tutorial 🙏 how do we get to that level 😑
Thanks Jeremy! There are ways beyond just "practice more" :p what are you working on these days?
Welcome bro, I am more of an intermediate player, I just practice progressions most of the time, but I'm really trying to develop my ear, any suggestions?
@@jeremynaidoo2835 I would practice singing / transcription as ear training. So find a recording on TH-cam even, slow it down, try to sing it so you can really hear it, and only then, learn to play it. I'll actually have a video about this soon!
@@NoahKellman thanks bro, will try this out, looking forward to the tutorial 🙏👌
Can’t find that free sheet music
7:26
👍
Iam new to the music and iam in 9 grade and never took music in my life I don't know where to start and to guess the major and minor test I don't understand what the tips or hints to know it can you help me ?
Bom dia eu não consegui o pdf
Great stuff. I'm a guitar player but I keep coming here for ideas and am surprised at how readily they translate to my instrument. Cause music just is.
I know what you mean! Thanks appreciate that and glad you’re finding the material helpful
0:28 what's the song please ?
are you using pianoteq
It Could Happen To You. And with the 6th instead of the 5th very Chick Corea-ish !

geniussssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssss
I think not relating diminished chords to 7 flat 9 chords, is a mistake. For instance, on your G minor 7th to F sharp dim., you could call that a D7 flat nine, which has a fundamental dominant relationship to the G minor. D7th flat 9 also can move to the F minor, but you are adding one none key note- you were in the key of G minor, but you now are introducing the A flat note, of F minor, causing a modulation.
Why do you switch to Fmin7 at the 2:30 mark.
Plus you go way too fast dude
Slow down ! ,,, at 2 :27 you demo the changing voicing , ( which is tricky ) then you say Just keep going like that ! Pffttss 😢😢😢
need way more beginner shit man
