For those of you hitting the unlike button,if you don’t like the video move on..this guy has given his best to make piano so simple for so many people around the world the least he could get for his time and effort is a thumbs up and if you aren’t satisfied let it be...Weldon warren God bless you much...fan from Nigeria
@@thomaspick4123 I would agree with you, if I thought the dislikes were unwarranted. Now, I am not saying they are deserved, just not unwarranted. I don't see anyone disliking simply because they don't like the guy, or something idiotic such as that. Sometimes, someone might dislike the tutorial, it maybe wasn't as good as they expected, there are honestly many things that could cause someone to dislike a video and being unable to take the criticism that comes along with that is shameful. I wan't you to take a look at the counter for dislikes and likes. Currently there are 17 dislikes to at least 1,000 likes. meaning less than 2% of people who have actually bothered to rate it decided to dislike it. Also if you want to make the argument that "people disliking the video causes it to be noticed less" no, it doesn't. TH-cam's suggestion software (supposedly) doesn't include likes or dislikes in it's equations. It focuses more on tags, view time, views, and a few other factors. Dislikes aren't a bad thing and shouldn't be discouraged, but also not encouraged.
Right there at about 10 minutes, he explains something I've been looking for: the dim chord likes to resolve to a minor, and provides that beautiful chromatic movement from the 1 major to the 2 minor. Thank you!!
I watched this for the first time and 9 months ago and it was completely over my head. But now I'm incorporating these chords more and more in my playing and hearing them used in music I'm listening to. It may feel like you're never gonna get it but keep practicing and you'll have it before you know it. Thanks Warren. God bless.
The best tutorial i have seen so far on this topic. I was trying understand the whole deal for more than 2 weeks. Finally, someone is able to teach it!
Sir Warren don't let those unlikes get to u... The bible say that we must keep doing good for in due season u shall reap if u faint not... God bless u bro
Thank you, Warren. Yours is the first explanation of diminished chords that is so simple and yet explains it completely. Thank you and keep up the good work. I hope I get to learn with you soon. God bless you.
Since i knew you teach about piano i have learnt alot and am no longer where i was before.You really take your time to explain deeply and i love it.You are the best teacher i've got today and you look so kind and humble whenever you teach.God bless you and may He reward you.
Brother you just explained what has kept me awake at night for years now.. The idea that one diminished 7th is made up of three diminished 7th has tortured me in this life.. God bless you man....
This is absolutely THE best explanation I've ever had on diminished chords! You are an excellent teacher. While I'm not a piano player, the way you present and lay this teaching out visually and the words you speak to go along with that make it easily transferable to my instrument. I am thrilled that I found you! Look forward to watching your other teaching videos. Thank you!
Excellent as usual - especially the second half. What I love about your tutorials is that they are so clear that I can usually go straight to the piano and and try the techniques you've just explained and be immediately delighted with the new harmonic possibilities you've taught me.
This is the most exhaustive explanation of dim chords I've ever heard, yet so simple. This video is golden. Learnt lesson that could cost thousands of dollars for free! Thanks Warren!
Man! your knowledge of music, is so vast. I keep coming to your channel trying to learn something. Listening to you make me look small. You are a great wonderful piano teacher. I wish I could learn a lot from you, basic stuff like chords progression, applicable stuff that can be applied to music I like. You are the best.
I figured it out myself I was like wait a minute! 😂 I was in doubt and looked it up. And I was right! You discover a lot when you try to learn anything in 12 keys.
Mr Warren i will not stop to thank you enough for your videos. I'm re-watching your video on how to use the diminished chord. U just answered some of the questions I have in mind. Thank you again
Mannn, I've watched like 3-4 videos on diminished chords and you're the only one who explained it in a way I could fully understand. Thank you so much, I'm definitely going to dive in on your other videos. Subbed!
Warren, I am very impressed with your musical knowledge, your ability to explain the theory, and your clear enunciation as you speak! I have added you to my group of music teachers…. Thank you. …..Robert
@@PianoLessonwithWarren I've started applying them and it works, so much grateful to God for u sir,since i started learning piano,you are my first online professional teacher who has made the keyboard small for me because you opened my mind to great understanding of the piano,just imagine i didn't pay a cent for this knowledge u give me every Wednesday. Jesus is your rewarder. A fan from Liberia,west Africa.
Thank you Sir! I know my major and minor chords well, and now I wanted to add the diminished to add some color to my skills. Your explanation goes beyond my expectations. I now have a lot to practice so that I can play them naturally in various usages. I'll first explore them as passing chords.
Love how you explain it. Was like oh man now I gotta remember where these 3 Dim chords go with other tonics. But then I realized all the tonics are the notes of the chord!! Thank you!!
Thank you; I've been trying to learn Diminished chords for guitar for a while now, and your teaching is of such a high quality that I was able to easily follow along even without a piano. I really appriciate the fact that you teach theory rather than just chord shapes, it's a much more effective method than anyone else uses. Subscribed.
Thank you for your help, I just found out about you a few days ago and you are already helping tremendously. I’m not a beginner but I skipped some of the basics and these lessons are giving me understanding. Thank you!
Woah warren ive been following your videos for quite some time now, and I would call myself a pretty developed player but your tutorials have insanely helped me improve thank you so much!
Hi, thank you so much for all your videos. I've got my warren's book on which I note all of your lessons with details to remember and work on. I learn so much with you, thank you for being so clear. I keep watching your videos everyday and working hard on them. Give you a sunset from south france some day ! Cheers !
Thank You so much Warren, You are a gifted musician, pianist and a great teacher.. You explain so simply and make the musical concepts come alive and and just sync so well and harmoniously that I (the learner) keep having "light bulb" moments! You open more and more doors to new dimensions of sound.. You have made a great impact in the world of music and that just creates more resounding hallelujahs! Many Stars to your Crown.. BIG THUMBS UP to Ya! 👍👍👍 👌👏✅🙏
I've been watching all these different videos about passing chords and diminished trying to glue all the knowledge together, this video was the glue, so damn good and easy to understand.
That sneaky Aaug7 at 15:33 was rely nice, and I see that the next video in the series is on that topic... Thank you for an excellent and clear video -- it's hard to find good videos on jazz/theory fundamentals that don't rush through the material leaving the viewer confused.
Hi Warren! I must say this is is a very nice video. Helped me very much on understanding the concept and how to use it in my playing. I'm especially staggered by how you weight the content of the video. It isn't overwhelming, but it isn't too simple. I'll have a look at your other tutorials.
I've been working on a theory about diminished chords and how to use them as substitutions,example:using the Ddim as a founfation,by it's self implies a G7b9,so it can be used as a V degree of C,now the G is part of the Dbdim,we add now the other notes of the Dbdim as bass notes to our Ddim Chord and we get Bb7b9,Db7b9,Eb7b9,and theG7b9,and I can use any of these as a substitute for the V degree of C,sorry for such a long comment.what do you think?
Hey Brother, maaan, you're a cat, thank you for your videos. I watch your videos, even when i know the topic well, i just enjoy watching how you teach my friend. I always turn on your videos before getting sleep. You're explaining very peaceful and friendly, and I'm sure that you're a great human being. Because of you, and guys like you this music will live forever. God bless you my bro. Jazz Bro From Armenia.
God bless you sir. You are a great teacher To be honest i wasn't sure i was going to understand diminished chords like this. Keep up the good works sir New subscriber 😁😁
Thanks for explaining how diminished chords resolve good with minor chords, and the whole minor 2nd major 7th deal. Trying to learn these chords and how to use them on the pedal steel.
Wow. Awesome. Thank you so much for this video mister. U explained this very easy in the 1st half. However I’m not that advanced yet to follow ur fast movements in the 2nd part. Anyway u opened a pandorabox for me with this video. 🙌🏾🙌🏾🙌🏾🙌🏾🙌🏾🙌🏾😍😍😍. My struggles with this damm diminished hell are from now on major fun progressions in the future,💣💣💣💣.
This is amazing honestly really taking me to the next step just one question can u combine dims chords like play half in right and the other in the left
I now understand what kind of 'ghost chords' I can use and what to search for next to learn some more amazing transitions... This full diminished chord to a minor chord gives me musical orgasms!!!

Conciliator yeah man, simply things a lot with this understanding
this what I mean, this was never brought up on the other videos I watched about diminished scales/chords. Great content!

You’re welcome 😉
Very nice lessons. Thank you Warren!
Another place where half-diminished (minor 7th b5) chords are used is as the ii chord in a minor ii-V-I. For instance Dm7b5-G7b9-Cm6.
You're so good at what you do, and I mean both playing piano and making tutorials! Thank you so much ^_^

Nice tutorial! I've started to use diminished chords when improvising a while back now but still enjoyed!

This is amazing honestly really taking me to the next step just one question can u combine dims chords like play half in right and the other in the left
Yes, we do that all the time, and not just with Diminished chords, with any chord
@@PianoLessonwithWarren sorry I’m really new you have been helping a lot tho thank you 🙏🏽
