Thank you Sean. I always loved this progression sound from Take 6. Never even thought to try to figure it out because it sounded so beyond my ability to sound out. Now, thanks to you, I can play it and its so lovely 😍 God bless you always.
Amazing video. The fact that you WANT US TO GET WHAT YOU ARE EXPLAINING AND SHOWING IS REAL ! It is tangible so it's really helpful Thank very much 🙏😁❤️
I’ve been watching this video over and over😭😭 and one thing I picked up is that when he’s doing the 2-5-1 progression as he changes keys, it can also be seen as a 7-3-6 progression in the original key (but the 6 would be a major chord because at the moment you’re thinking of 2-5-1) I hope that helps and hopefully if you guys see anything interesting to point out y’all drop it in the comment section too!✨
All his lessons are excellent but this one sparked something in me to practice more. Sometimes we get busy and complacent. So I appreciate all this brother do.
Hello Sean, you are such a phenomenal teacher. You are able to break chords down in a manner that all classes of pianist can understand. God bless you real good. I learnt alot here today!!!
This is what I have been trying to understand. I even enrolled in a class to understand this but my teacher could not communicate the concept. Thank you sir.
I'm a self-taught, jazz accordionist and stumbled upon this about two years ago. I found the progressions so intriguing, but didn't know the theory. Now I know because of you. Thanks a mill Sean, much appreciated.
This is gold! I was just thinking about this while I was playing yesterday and it was so frustrating to not know how to weave into other keys. This tho…this really opened up my understanding to the relationship between keys. Thank you!
An alternative song to that Take6 song is Michs move by the late Parris Bowen🙏🏽...exact same moves the nice thing about it is that it actually changes keys after each cycle
My only regret is that I have only 1 like I'm allowed to give. Your videos are SO thoughtful, instructive... I've learned a LOT from you Sean. Thanks SOOO much.
That was awesome man. It makes sense. I want to play out of the box but sometimes I hear these changes from Cory, quennel Gaskin, but wasn't sure what they were doing.
Brother Wilson, I really appreciate what you shared in your 3 minute rant. You have no idea how much that connected with me. Your understanding is very inspiring. Thank You. God bless you.
17:03 is really interesting! I've been playing at a primarily "CCM" style church recently, the subject of 'emotion' vs 'theory and structure' comes up a lot. I keep telling them "you have to just feel it"
Excellent lesson Sean. Yes, it motivates me to do some homework. I've always loved that song but never knew the name of it. Now I'm motivated to work on it and the related key changes. You're a great teacher and a great motivator.
Brutha I myself as a church musician definetly needed this!!!!! Very very helpful in undsrstanding the method to the madness! Please keep giving us the game! Thank you greatly
Loved this video, Sean. I’ve always understood the relationship between the relative minor and major, but never considered going the opposite direction and moving UP a minor third instead of down! Can’t wait to practice this!
You are unlocking so much I’ve heard this done never understood it until now with the relationship of the thirds …thank you so much easy to follow very very clear!!!
Sean, I was gonna say that Mitch’s Move by Paris Bowens has been my practice for doing the minor relationship going up instead of down (C - Eb- F# - A) ((he starts in Db)) I learned Septembro thanks to this video. Thank you for all your content and help.
EXCELLENT VIDEO! To a guy that was labeled as "gifted" playing by "ear" and playing the piano & organ for my church the age of 11 - 18, growing up in the church, where I was doing some of this without able to describe it at the time...but I had developed an excellent "ear" from my practice in being in a professional boy's choir, from ages 9 -12. Now, as I'm getting back into playing as an adult, I will take advantage of your training, to help me get back into it again. Thank you so much.
Something Like A Musical Testimony From The Musician. While Hearing U Play "Mary Had A Little Lamb, I Heard Chords That The Musician From "Charlie Brown" (piano) Would Play.🔥🎵😏
The B minor seven flat five (b d f a) chord belongs to the C major scale as a seven chord. The B minor seven flat five (b d f a) chord also belongs to the A harmonic major scale as a two chord. This makes it a great chord to pivot from C to A. Sean says when we hear this chord b d f a where are we? In C or A? Thanks Sean for your gifted perspective.
@@SeanWilsonPiano the good thing master you have given me the key now because i was reaching at a certain point i get lost 😭 for now i know the secret behind ✌️🙏
Sean, this is such an informative and pedagogically sound video! My question is: when I am pivoting between keys, do u recommend pivoting with the melody note of the new key, or the 2-5-1 passing sequence, depending on the proximity of each? So if the melody note of the new key is closer to what i am playing, should I go with that over the 2-5-1 passing sequence method? Will the ear be more accepting of a change that doesn't have to travel as far? Thx!
Both could likely work although I prefer using a melody note common to both keys and chord it from there. This video was more of an intro into this topic … the 2-5-1 was more of a teaching method to show the point, but when I played examples I focused on melody to pivot to new keys
Do you feel the relationship between Maj 3rds can be thought of in the same way? In formal theory both the maj and min 3rd relationships are called “chromatic mediants” and yeah, are used like crazy for modulations. That might make for an interesting video as well.
Sean thank you so much ,this lesson did resonate with me I'm at a Crossroads of being actually more excellent in my understanding or dropping out and forgetting about it I really appreciate your Insight and overstanding thanks again👌😌👍
@@michaelbell8627 go for it man, they're kind of relative minors but notice I also switched from F# to C... I prefer using the minor 3rd explanation, or better yet the notes in a diminished 7th chord
@@SeanWilsonPiano that's why I said I need to sign up with you. I was thinking probably because F# goes to A then A goes to C. That was just a guess though, I don't have the formal training, I just noticed songs kind of modulated either the half step or to the relative minors, which I'm still trying to understand backwards. Like from C# to Bb.
Ohh man, i knew about the relationship between the relative major and minor but I never knew I could use them like this, it's a game changer for me... God bless you Mr Sean.
Every Key??? Yes, every key. I'm back on the piano after 40 years being off...I'm practicing hymns (about fifty or so) and going through my keys, C, F, B flat, E flat...but when I hit A flat the light bulb came on, it wasn't as hard as going through B flat and E flat. I'm almost done with A flat and can't wait to see what D flat is going to be like. Thank you for your posts. Please note, I do try to put in three hours of practice M-F...it ain't easy, but it ain't hard either. Be encouraged. Amen?
I gotta watch this again ....i got lost!!!😅 This is good stuff. God bless you for sharing. Many folks wont share with their brothers and sisters. Iron sharpens iron folks!!!!
no Matter what key your in if you use half diminished you will trip other musicians out. If you get lost then Chromatic is the way to go. It's all about placement.
You are an excellent teacher u just opened the ceiling, I hardly play keys but I love the instrument. I’m hoping to make time to grow because I really purely on my ear
Thank you Sean for another excellent lesson. I think the chord chosen for the transition is really important - u choose the coolest chords/voicings for that. Really appreciated 👍🏿..
R.l.H. Q...Sean do you know if there are any artists fortunate enough to have Q featured on their albums? If so please list the name of the project so we can experience his greatness?
I've been a vocalist for many years and now I understand the relationship between the key & transitions. I can hear it but playing it needs practice. Thank you so much for sharing this. Truly a great teacher and communicator. God bless you. I might watch this everyday for awhile till I get it. Sending love.♥️💖💝✌🏾
Chromatic Mediants are the theoretical terms for this. As you were explaining it, I remember a Rick Beato video I saw long time ago. Sean video helped me make it practical. Good stuff.
Hmm kind of reminds me of the Barry Haris diminished thing. C, Eb and A are all part of the same diminished 7 chord. Even how you went to the F# from A. Your videos are amazing! Such a wealth of knowledge.
This is so interesting and I hardly know anything about music. But what you play and describe is interesting to the ears. When you say 'something happened there' I know just what you mean.
Nice lesson!!!! Can this be used in a live situation while an individual is singing? Can you switch between keys while the singer remains on the original key? I see some musicians that play random chords that don’t go in the particular key so it causes some dissonance but they transition and it all makes sense!
It’s crazy how some musicians go decades transposing on the keyboard. It’s like learning Ebonics as a child from hearing your folks speak and never learning new vocabulary words.

Nice

Exactly.
2-5-1 just a relationship, in substitution, they always change major to minor, minor to diminish, or….
The video cracked my brain open. Thank you Sean!!
All his lessons are excellent but this one sparked something in me to practice more. Sometimes we get busy and complacent. So I appreciate all this brother do.
Most clarifying piano lesson I’ve had so far in 40 years
Hello Sean, you are such a phenomenal teacher. You are able to break chords down in a manner that all classes of pianist can understand.

Wow! Appreciate it man!
Welcome Sir. I hope to one day understand music and play like you. More grace and anointing on you and your ministry in Jesus name.
This is what I have been trying to understand. I even enrolled in a class to understand this but my teacher could not communicate the concept. Thank you sir.
yeah man, it’s a difficult concept to explain! Thanks for the comment
The song is called, "Setembro" and it isn't by Take 6. It's by Brazil's own Ivan Lins.

Those diminished shapes are like portals to different sonic multiverses allowing you to weave in and out of different realities

Thanks Lorraine!
Everything is diminished!
3 families of fully diminished chords are all the keys we know. It’s so astounding!!!!
Thank you!!! Your teaching is truly helping me. I am trying to find my way back. I have rededicated myself and not going to quit until I get it.
Thank you for relationship explanation(s)❤️❤️
You had me at Take 6. Sean is the Essential MisterRogers Educator of Good Music. Much Respect.
The way I learn is that a diminished chord has a relationship. The four individual notes mean you can transition between and it works.
As a beginner myself, I found that dim7 at dominant 7th or 6th degree of a scale so beautiful...
Made my face scrunch up man. 😖
Sean, I was gonna say that Mitch’s Move by Paris Bowens has been my practice for doing the minor relationship going up instead of down (C - Eb- F# - A) ((he starts in Db)) I learned Septembro thanks to this video. Thank you for all your content and help.

I love this song!!! I learned it a long time ago!!! But I also learned that this a remake!!! Look up Ivan Lins the original is just as beautiful
Wow just looked it up man! I learn something new every day 👏
The voicing of those chords sounds more like 7, 3, Major 6 to me than 2, 5, 1s.
That’s the same thing…. One just technically targets minor and the other major
